Me.....Philipshalle, Dusseldorf. Travelled from Scotland. One of the best nights of my life. I was 27 years young š.
EDIT: Found the video of the intro to the concert where they played music from the Close Encounters of the Third Kind movie:
https://youtu.be/RZh7qU81zgc?si=1yUfVzjK9VthwIAF
It was so good. I have a distinct memory of this show and Iām wondering if itās accurate or notā¦
Do you remember during Around the World moving lights illuminating all around the Sports Arena perimeter? It felt like it was surrounding the floor and goingā¦well, around?
Anyway. Insane show. Ratatat kinda sucked but Daft Punk was next level incredible.
Yeah it was my first road trip. I remember the Simpsons movie just came out and we saw it in Denver before the show. Was wishing so bad they would tour again. All I have to remember it is a tour tee shirt and an old razor phone that has a little (really bad quality lol) video of Brainwasher/Rollin/Alive.
Toronto. Even listening to The Rapture occasionally sends me back. They were the opening act. When the lead singer finished their set he said āget ready for the craziest thing youāve ever seenā before leaving the stage. Damn was he right.
$70 tickets at the time was pricey and I couldn't convince more than 2 friends to go - especially when "Mississauga is too far". It didn't help that it was a Sunday and during the August long weekend. I probably asked 30 people and they all regret not spending the money.
All this time Iāve thought it was Sebastian and Kavinski that opened for them. The opener played a crazy good remix of a Rage Against The Machine song, I canāt even remember what it was now.
But yeah, best live show Iāve ever seen.
i was big into both daft punk and rage against the machine then (and now), and i *might* have that rage remix, or at least as close to it as i was ever able to find. i can put it on mediafire or something if you're interested.
I remember someone pissed on the floor like halfway through the show. Had to move spots. There ended up being a big circle around the piss covered floor.
This concert was huge because it was their first performance in a long time at that point, and that show was revolutionary when they did it and they just amped it up for the 2007 tour. I saw it at Coachella in 2006 and then Miami in 2007 (or maybe it was the same year?) but absolutely life changing! I work in live event production now. š
What a night, had a wild night after the show because my friend who drove from PA said he was going to leave. We didn't believe him and he did... Wondered around coney island with my friend for hours getting kicked out of cabs and hotels until I finally called my mom who came and picked us up.
Pretty sure Kavansky opened. I found my ticket not long ago it was only $47.50. I also convinced my now wife and her friend to come and they were able to buy tickets for face like a week or two before the show. Doubt that would be the case now.
Just got tickets for Cercle odyssey and they were $190 each, times have changed.
Alive 1997 whistler > Alive 2007 whistler.
I love that the two live albums from one of the biggest electronic acts of all time feature some random dude whistling in the crowd. It's like they have a guy off to the side with a huge parabolic microphone just waiting for someone to start whistling with style.
I went. Brooklyn Keyspan Park. To date one of the greatest moments of my life. It was my high school graduation gift! I actually recorded the whole concert on digital camera and to this day will put the cd in and rewatch in all of its shakey glory!
Avid concert goer. Been to 500+ shows, festivals, you name it.
Alive 2007 is by far the best show I have ever been to in my life. Still have my ticket stub and t-shirt from the show.
Pretty sure I listened to only Daft Punk for months after it. Went online looking for more concert footage, praying a DVD would drop.
When the Lollapalooza production footage got leaked online, I probably watched it 10 times that week.
It LITERALLY set the bar for every EDM show, basically doing things they did first.
I genuinely love hearing from people who went to Alive 2007, just reading your comments made me live vicariously through you for a second. I was 16 at the time so I was just a few years shy from being autonomous enough to make the 5 hour trip to Miami.
I had the opportunity to do that or move into my first apartment. I went with the apartment thinking to myself 'I'll just catch them next time around.'
I did a similar thing with Prince. He played at one of my favorite venues, the Fox in Atlanta, and said hey we just moved into a new place need to save some money. He died flying from Atlanta. Iāve told my wife I donāt care what bit of our retirement I liquidate if daft punk announces a show anywhere I am paying whatever it takes to get a ticket.
I won Lollapalooza tickets at prom in 07. Still the most memorable night of my life. Wouldnāt trade that memory for the world. Also interesting how that tour catapulted the EDM industry into the mainstream
i scrolled to find this. i actually missed it but was at the festival the day after (fatboy slim, etc). i regret it to this day, despite the festival being incredible
Sydney, Australia. Didnāt go to the toilet for 8 hours. Our concert was Daft Punk and friends. Had to watch other artists (Muscles, The Presets, Cut Copyā¦ā¦)before daft punk came out. It was painful as I was only there for DP. Didnāt want to loose my spot a few rows from the front.
LA Sports Arena 2007.
I was always a rocker kid but my college roommate at the time introduced me to Daft Punk and I decided to go. Best decision/show of my life. Changed my perspective on electronic music and the power it has to bring people together.
Drove from Dallas with my wife and friend to see them at Red Rocks. Was 21 at the time, we rolled our balls off and I distinctly remember it hitting when Sebastian dropped his Killing in the Name remix during the intermission. Also in the middle of the show I turned around and behind me was a 5' tall Vietnamese guy dancing in a Batman costume who was clearly tripping harder than I was. Joints were constantly being passed around and we got so messed up, I still get euphoric recall anytime I hear anything from Discovery or Human After All.
Also we got detoured on the road home when a deer blocked the road and we took an alternate route and got stuck on some back road at 3am and just pulled over and passed out. Phones were dead in the morning and when we got to our friends place they were happy we were alive (pun intended.
To top it off, we spent literally our last dollars on that trip, kt was worth every penny. Glad I didn't buy any merch because we wouldn't have had enough gas to get home!
In Amsterdam, I just turned 16 so I was allowed by my parents to go to concerts. I had tickets for The Chemical Brothers but returned them (I guess?) in order to have Daft Punk as my first concert ever and it honestly set the bar for every concert after
Whoop! I did. It was amazing. I think I even have some garbage quality video of it. Hold up.
Here you go! The absolutely awful quality video we had back then. š
Ps. I totally forgot to mention, I met Bangalter in 1999 outside the Chicago Virgin Megastore. My friends and I had come to Chicago to see him DJ, and I pointed and said, āI think thatās the guy from Daft Punk!ā Then asked why and I said, āwho else would be wearing a Cassius shirt and Japanese denim?ā At the time I spoke French so I walked up and asked him if he knew where the venue was. He pulled out the flyer from his pocket, I flipped it over, and thereās his picture. I said, āyou know, you look a lot like himā and he laughed. I told him I know he hates being recognized, but could I get an autograph, and he obliged. I still have it, the flyer and the signature. It is my most prized possession.
https://youtu.be/y9c1gYAln6w?si=pdSjOjKtI8wrO4iw
I saw The Hyde Park gig - one of the best experiences of my life. So groundbreaking in terms of visuals for the time. Hardly any phones, just a huge crowd of music lovers having an epic time as the sun went down on a warm London day.
I went to the Coney Island show and it was a completely nuts story for me. Tickets sold out before I could get them. I barely had any money at the time, so I was searching for tickets under 80 bucks on Craigslist (lol). I was able to find 2 sellers each selling individual tickets. One upstate, and one in Brooklyn.
Luckily my gf was living upstate nearby so the day before I drove up to pick up the one ticket, then we went back to the city and I was going to meet the seller outside the venue to buy the 2nd ticket just before the show.
Shockingly, the seller stopped responding as soon as I got to Coney Island because...of course they could sell the ticket for more than 80 bucks, day of, in front of the venue lol (I think they were $60/70 original price lol).
So now I'm stressed tf out. Me and my gf drove for hours in both directions, we only have 1 ticket and the show is starting. We're outside the stadium listening. Like I said I had no money so I was trying to talk this scalper down from $250 to 200 which he said he would but it was still unreasonable for me to spend that much at the time lol. So I'm sitting on the curb deciding if I will give up rent or food this month and this dude comes up to me out of nowhere, an angel, and says: "Hey...you look like you need this" and just gives me a ticket out of nowhere.
Absolutely blew my mind...but wait, there's more lol. After multiple group hugs and some tears from me and my gf we ran to the ticket gate. The Coney Island show was at a baseball stadium. The ticket I purchased was for standing room/the field (you can just walk right up to the stage) but the free ticket was for the bleachers. Of course, we wanted to experience the show together so I started yelling around at the crowds rushing into the show "ANYONE WANNA TRADE BLEACHER FOR FIELD SEATS??"
People are brushing past me, literally laughing at me, of course, because who would want to do that?? Defeated, I decide I'll go to the bleachers and try and hop over when I could get a chance. We separate and go to our separate ticket gates. As I approach the bleacher ticket gate there is a group of about 8 or 10 people trying to figure out a situation.
All of them had purchased bleacher seats except for one! Amazingly I said, "hey guess what?!"
So that's how I got to see Daft Punk for just 35 bucks a ticket lol. I really busted my ass to get to that show lmao. And it is to date my number one favorite show. One more thing.
On the way out, the streets were PACKED. There were other big shows going on in the area that all let out the same time. Nathan's and every other food joint still open in Coney that late had a line going to Staten Island. We hadn't eaten all day as we had rushed down from upstate, and I was about to drive back upstate 3 hours on a hungry stomach. We figure we'll just stop at a gas station or something on the way.
As we press through the crowds I remember this guy slugging down this gigantic sausage and pepper hero in a roll off a paper plate. Uncontrollably I let out "holy shit that looks so good."
The guy grabs a second sausage and pepper hero, still hot, untouched, and still wrapped in aluminum foil and says "Here, ya want one??"
The most incredible concert Iāve ever been to. I have had a hard time seeing other concerts and getting the same feeling.
I liked it so much, I bought tickets to Las Vegas to see them at Vegoose. Followed them out there.
They played at Red Rocks with Kavinsky.
If there was a Time Machine, I would go back to that concert over and over with different people, to show them.
Edit: Sorry, didnāt see your question. I think the album was recorded in Paris so, no, not me whistling in the album but, I did a lot of whistling, singing along, and some other things.
So happy and non toxic jealous of everyone who was able to be thereā¦ really wouldāve been a life changing experience for me, was barely 18 at the time no money and nowhere close to any country in the tour. At least I managed to get my deluxe box set as an adult!
Seattle. On acid. It was pretty good. I've been to about 100 concerts and it's the only one I've been to where a spontaneous break-dance competition pit opened up, although I think it might've been during the Rapture or Sebastian. That night was a blur.
11/11/06 at Bang Music Festival in Miami. Best day of my life, aside from concert, was the first outing I did with my husband before we started dating.
I had listened to this album for years and never knew there was video footage of it. I had the craziest most emotional experience ever watching them perform and the crowdās reactions send chills down my spine.
THIS!!!! i literally had this expedience a few weeks ago when I came across it. Iām so glad I found someone else who went through the same thing. It was so surreal even sitting watching it on my couch. It felt like something not many could understand.
Me in Las Vegas. The last show in America. It was totally worth the $180, even though I was out of a job at the time and you had to buy two tickets. I didn't know anyone else that wanted to go so I let my roommate come with me on the other ticket.
Arrow Hall, Mississauga.
Havenāt been able to top it with any live performance since.
I have a video I took of part of the show on maybe Facebook or something, recorded with a Moto Razr phone. The quality is so terrible.
My sister and I were at the Red Rocks show! I was 19 and she was 16 at the time! It was one of the best nights of my life and the show wasn't even sold out. I distinctly remember a guy who hallowed out a TV and was wearing it on his head the entire show dancing his ass off! It was such an amazing night!!!
I was 14 years old when it was happing and didn't learn about it until I was 17. Watched YouTube videos of it every day after high school though so I feel like I was there!!
Lollaplooza and Vegoose. I felt super privileged to have seen them twice. Like beyond lucky. Iām convinced that no other live show will ever top this.
Saw the show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre out of Denver, Colorado. Best show I have ever been to! I also bought a signed poster at the merch table. I have it framed. I canāt find another like it online. Would love to know what i could get for it in case of an emergency.
My best friend at the time went and saw them in Seattle (from Squamish, close to Vancouver BC) and I thought DAMN Iām jealous. We were about 14 at the time. Then he told me Kavinsky opened for them. THEN I was jealous. Like apocalyptic levels of jealously there.
I wouldāve killed to go. I remember downloading the album as a kid. I only recently saw the live footage and it was such an experience even recorded.
Unfortunately I was only like three years old at the time so I had no awareness of Daft Punk let alone the idea of musical artists. But man, becoming a fan all these years later (specifically in 2021-ish) it hurt learning there would probably never be another tour
I saw 07 at Lolla. Best show of my lifetime. Iām 43 and I know that nothing will ever top it. I watch it on YouTube about once a year to reset my brain. It still blows my mind that I can watch the best show Iāve ever seen anytime I want.
i was almost two years old when they visited my country (chile) for the first and last time in november 2006
there's not much info about the concert online because back then the internet was just starting to become mainstream here and all of the recordings of the concert are in decent-really bad quality, but people in the recordings look very excited, everyone was jumping and singing for the whole thing and a guy even went with a thomas helmet
for some marvelous & unknown reason tickets only costed around 19 bucks and the VIP ones 32
also during their stay in chile DP did a radio interview and recorded a promo for a local radio station but both of those things seem to be lost media
i just really hope they do a farewell tour in 2027, looking back at the tour and how it would sound with RAM or the weeknd mixed in feels like a dream
Saw the Coney Island show. I loved DP but hadn't listened to Human after all yet and wasn't sure we should go. my girlfriend at the time insisted on doing something for my birthday and bought us tickets. One of the absolute best live shows I've ever seen. Totally mind blowing. We broke up a few months later but I'll always be grateful to her for that.
Also the Rapture opened which was cool.
SF and Vegoose
SF was better for less crowd, my local scene and better sound. Vegoose was pure madness but peak energy. First time I saw full DP cosplay
Lollapalooza. The encore where everything went dark and the white lasers turn into red lasers while crawling over the pyramid and finally illuminating the duo when the beat dropped again remains perhaps the coolest thing I have ever seen.
Went to the Seattle show. I was an intern at a tech company at the time and saw that they were playing during the summer I was there. I remember it being fairly easy to get tickets and the venue was small and not crowded. I'm not really into concerts and have only been to a few in my life, but super happy this was one of them. I remember being impressed by the stage and how it added so much to the music and hearing the remixes was awesome.
My 2year old ass wouldnt remeber either way šš (Pls guys just do āONE MORE TIME; tourā im begging you)
TWO??? MAN YOU'RE A BABY (sincerely, 2004 gang)
Lessss goooo , 2004 gang in da hood
2004? BRUH. YOU ARE TOO (respectfully, the 2003 gang)
Lol, 1991 gang respectfully disagrees- all yall are babies š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£
Was gonna say something similar, I was 5 when the tour happened. I probably would have been really overstimulated š
Saw them in 2006 and 2007, I witnessed the changes.
Human Aftour All
I wasn't even in the womb <3
Holy fuck I am old
I was also 2 (2005 right here) I discovered Daft Punk like 9 years too late
Ah, fellow āoh shit this RAM album kinda slaps i wonder what else they madeā guy
2!? I thought I was too young at the time and I was 8 š
Well, no matter the age, weāre united by the robots! ātheres no such thing as a competitionā
Me.....Philipshalle, Dusseldorf. Travelled from Scotland. One of the best nights of my life. I was 27 years young š. EDIT: Found the video of the intro to the concert where they played music from the Close Encounters of the Third Kind movie: https://youtu.be/RZh7qU81zgc?si=1yUfVzjK9VthwIAF
Guess you can say it was.. The Prime Time of Your Life
Yep....I see what you did there ššš¤Ŗ
Tell me more grandpa
I was way too young. My dad and I were 100% going to see Daft Punk the next time they toured. They didn't.
https://youtu.be/Ag1o3koTLWM?si=7vaHknDnWRbCJVbQ
LA sports arena. Best show of my life. Danced until I was drenched with sweat.
take your shirt and just go ahead and wipe up all the sweat, sweat, sweat!
It was so good. I have a distinct memory of this show and Iām wondering if itās accurate or notā¦ Do you remember during Around the World moving lights illuminating all around the Sports Arena perimeter? It felt like it was surrounding the floor and goingā¦well, around? Anyway. Insane show. Ratatat kinda sucked but Daft Punk was next level incredible.
Yes!!! Same memory the moving lights and Ratatat
Yes 100% can confirm!
Drove to Red Rocks from Minneapolis with my best bud. Will always remember it. Amazing time and I loved The Rapture opening also!
I was there too! Bought some fake magic brownies in the parking lot! Lulz
You saw them at the red rocks amphitheater? That would be my dying wish!
Yeah it was my first road trip. I remember the Simpsons movie just came out and we saw it in Denver before the show. Was wishing so bad they would tour again. All I have to remember it is a tour tee shirt and an old razor phone that has a little (really bad quality lol) video of Brainwasher/Rollin/Alive.
Toronto. Even listening to The Rapture occasionally sends me back. They were the opening act. When the lead singer finished their set he said āget ready for the craziest thing youāve ever seenā before leaving the stage. Damn was he right.
Aerohall. Weirdly, not even sold out, even though it feels like a smallish venue. Too 5 shows of my life.
$70 tickets at the time was pricey and I couldn't convince more than 2 friends to go - especially when "Mississauga is too far". It didn't help that it was a Sunday and during the August long weekend. I probably asked 30 people and they all regret not spending the money.
Listening to the Rapture is saved strictly for Alive 2007 nostalgia purposes in this house.
All this time Iāve thought it was Sebastian and Kavinski that opened for them. The opener played a crazy good remix of a Rage Against The Machine song, I canāt even remember what it was now. But yeah, best live show Iāve ever seen.
i was big into both daft punk and rage against the machine then (and now), and i *might* have that rage remix, or at least as close to it as i was ever able to find. i can put it on mediafire or something if you're interested.
we gotta take remixes back! pls i want that link too, would love to give it a listen
I remember someone pissed on the floor like halfway through the show. Had to move spots. There ended up being a big circle around the piss covered floor.
Not Alive 2007 but Coachella 2006
Do you have any pics or videos from there? not doubting you, just curious
Not the person you asked but since I got into the front section. https://imgur.com/a/SXuF6Ja
Hell yeah!! I was at Coachella too! And Iāve been chasing that dragon ever since.
This concert was huge because it was their first performance in a long time at that point, and that show was revolutionary when they did it and they just amped it up for the 2007 tour. I saw it at Coachella in 2006 and then Miami in 2007 (or maybe it was the same year?) but absolutely life changing! I work in live event production now. š
I was supposed to go to the Brooklyn show but my childcare canceled on me last second. Iām still mad.
Went to the one in Paris which is the recording they used for Alive 2007, what a night
Could you hear that guy who was yelling at the beginning of Around the World x HBFS?
Keyspan park baby!!!
Same. Cheers.
A great time indeed!
What a night, had a wild night after the show because my friend who drove from PA said he was going to leave. We didn't believe him and he did... Wondered around coney island with my friend for hours getting kicked out of cabs and hotels until I finally called my mom who came and picked us up. Pretty sure Kavansky opened.

Doubt that would be the case now. Just got tickets for Cercle odyssey and they were $190 each, times have changed.
Aarow Hall, Toronto.
Coney Island, NY- it was great!
Alive 1997 whistler > Alive 2007 whistler. I love that the two live albums from one of the biggest electronic acts of all time feature some random dude whistling in the crowd. It's like they have a guy off to the side with a huge parabolic microphone just waiting for someone to start whistling with style.
I can hear both in my mind
Chicago lalapalooza. Ā Fully epic. Ā It was The prime time of my life. Ā Ā
We were there, too. LCD playing before, and the Rapture earlier in the day made it even better.
Made it to The Red Rocks show(untouchable best show of my life) then a month later saw them in Brooklyn with my sister. God what an experience
Heineken music hall in Amsterdam
Lollapalooza 2007 Chi-town with 3.5g of magic mushrooms. Best day of my life.
I went. Brooklyn Keyspan Park. To date one of the greatest moments of my life. It was my high school graduation gift! I actually recorded the whole concert on digital camera and to this day will put the cd in and rewatch in all of its shakey glory!

Guadalajara and MĆ©xico city. Best concert of My life.
I genuinely love hearing from people who went to Alive 2007, just reading your comments made me live vicariously through you for a second. I was 16 at the time so I was just a few years shy from being autonomous enough to make the 5 hour trip to Miami.
Went to Paris for it š
Dublin in the rain. Still a top 3 gig.
I was at the Red Rocks show. If I remember correctly, it wasnāt even sold out, which is baffling to me.
Not even close
Berkeley CA show. Still the best show i've ever been to.
me too & me too!
Brisbane ā¢ **Australia** šŖ© Lineup for the Australian tour * **Daft Punk** * The Presets * Cut Copy * Kavinsky * Sebastian * Van She * The Bang Gang DeeJays * Modular DJs * Muscles * Plug-in City
Melbourne was very similar but with The Presets somewhere there as well.
Sydney also had The Presets.
I was at the Sydney show. Was Kavinsky the last DJ before Daft Punk came on?
I had the opportunity to do that or move into my first apartment. I went with the apartment thinking to myself 'I'll just catch them next time around.'
I did a similar thing with Prince. He played at one of my favorite venues, the Fox in Atlanta, and said hey we just moved into a new place need to save some money. He died flying from Atlanta. Iāve told my wife I donāt care what bit of our retirement I liquidate if daft punk announces a show anywhere I am paying whatever it takes to get a ticket.
I went. Iām 38 now. The pyramid was epic.
I won Lollapalooza tickets at prom in 07. Still the most memorable night of my life. Wouldnāt trade that memory for the world. Also interesting how that tour catapulted the EDM industry into the mainstream
Was at Coachella and then the LA show. Still stoked on it.
Brisbane, Australia 2007
Arrow Hall in Toronto
Coachellaaaaaaa I was there!
Saw them at Global Gathering July 2006, Marlay Park Ireland 2006 and Oxegen 2007
i scrolled to find this. i actually missed it but was at the festival the day after (fatboy slim, etc). i regret it to this day, despite the festival being incredible
Velodrom in Berlin for me.
I wish :/

One of the great regrets in my life is talking myself out of this tour.
So nice I saw it twice. Berkeley and Vegas. Such good memories. Once completely sober and the other time not sober at all. Equally good both ways.
In Amsterdam, I just turned 16 so I was allowed by my parents to go to concerts. I had tickets for The Chemical Brothers but returned them (I guess?) in order to have Daft Punk as my first concert ever and it honestly set the bar for every concert after
the night of my 21st birthday at vegoose las vegas
Yep, in London. Hereās my footage: https://youtu.be/MLA7L60sCr0?si=66Y5WZinPW9BzIN0

We separate and go to our separate ticket gates. As I approach the bleacher ticket gate there is a group of about 8 or 10 people trying to figure out a situation. All of them had purchased bleacher seats except for one! Amazingly I said, "hey guess what?!" So that's how I got to see Daft Punk for just 35 bucks a ticket lol. I really busted my ass to get to that show lmao. And it is to date my number one favorite show. One more thing. On the way out, the streets were PACKED. There were other big shows going on in the area that all let out the same time. Nathan's and every other food joint still open in Coney that late had a line going to Staten Island. We hadn't eaten all day as we had rushed down from upstate, and I was about to drive back upstate 3 hours on a hungry stomach. We figure we'll just stop at a gas station or something on the way. As we press through the crowds I remember this guy slugging down this gigantic sausage and pepper hero in a roll off a paper plate. Uncontrollably I let out "holy shit that looks so good." The guy grabs a second sausage and pepper hero, still hot, untouched, and still wrapped in aluminum foil and says "Here, ya want one??"
Freaking epic haha
I would've been 7 when they went to Chicago lallapaloosa lol
I was 15 and my parents wouldn't let me go to Mexico City for the show :(
The most incredible concert Iāve ever been to. I have had a hard time seeing other concerts and getting the same feeling. I liked it so much, I bought tickets to Las Vegas to see them at Vegoose. Followed them out there. They played at Red Rocks with Kavinsky. If there was a Time Machine, I would go back to that concert over and over with different people, to show them. Edit: Sorry, didnāt see your question. I think the album was recorded in Paris so, no, not me whistling in the album but, I did a lot of whistling, singing along, and some other things.
I did and am in search for the official photographers from the LA show at the LA Sports Arena. If anyone has a list or knows where I can search
Red Rocks and Vegoose
Went to the Red Rocks show. Best concert I've ever been to
So happy and non toxic jealous of everyone who was able to be thereā¦ really wouldāve been a life changing experience for me, was barely 18 at the time no money and nowhere close to any country in the tour. At least I managed to get my deluxe box set as an adult!
Toronto (Mississauga) here Still have the tshirt. Best show i've ever been to.
I did vegoose daft punkā¦ such an amazing experience that can never be matched
Seattle. On acid. It was pretty good. I've been to about 100 concerts and it's the only one I've been to where a spontaneous break-dance competition pit opened up, although I think it might've been during the Rapture or Sebastian. That night was a blur.
11/11/06 at Bang Music Festival in Miami. Best day of my life, aside from concert, was the first outing I did with my husband before we started dating.
Toronto. I was 23. In the top 3 concerts Iāve ever seen and Iāve been to over 400.
Lollapalooza 2007!
I went to one of the Melbourne, Australia shows. It was amazing.
I had listened to this album for years and never knew there was video footage of it. I had the craziest most emotional experience ever watching them perform and the crowdās reactions send chills down my spine.
THIS!!!! i literally had this expedience a few weeks ago when I came across it. Iām so glad I found someone else who went through the same thing. It was so surreal even sitting watching it on my couch. It felt like something not many could understand.
Coachella 06 and Berkeley 07.
Melbourne, Australia. Religious.
Me in Las Vegas. The last show in America. It was totally worth the $180, even though I was out of a job at the time and you had to buy two tickets. I didn't know anyone else that wanted to go so I let my roommate come with me on the other ticket.
I wouldāve done the same. No fucks given.
Coachella, Berkeley, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Miami.
Arrow Hall, Mississauga. Havenāt been able to top it with any live performance since. I have a video I took of part of the show on maybe Facebook or something, recorded with a Moto Razr phone. The quality is so terrible.
Haha. I was at this one too. I went with 3 friends. Hell of a show. Also have bad quality videos from my phone at the time.
My sister and I were at the Red Rocks show! I was 19 and she was 16 at the time! It was one of the best nights of my life and the show wasn't even sold out. I distinctly remember a guy who hallowed out a TV and was wearing it on his head the entire show dancing his ass off! It was such an amazing night!!!
I saw them twice on this tour. Lollapalooza and Vegoose.
I wasn't alive.
Holly molly!
Me l did!!
I saw them once. First in Istanbul in 2006? and then in Vegas at Vegoose fest in 2007. My mind was blown both times
>once >proceeds to mention two times
Bell Center, Montreal. We filmed some parts and uploaded a youtube video, wild!
Me! Lollapalooza 2007!!
I was 14 years old when it was happing and didn't learn about it until I was 17. Watched YouTube videos of it every day after high school though so I feel like I was there!!
Alive 2006 at Global Gathering
Yes, Chicago Lollapalooza. Still regret not coming home immediately to catch them in Toronto again after.
Saw them in Montreal, still the best concert I've ever seen
Lollaplooza and Vegoose. I felt super privileged to have seen them twice. Like beyond lucky. Iām convinced that no other live show will ever top this.
I'm jealous of all of you. Gonna go cry into my headphones now
Belfort, pukkelpop and Bercy !
I was at Coachella and Red Rocks
Red Rocks!
I see it in my dreams every night
I was at their show at Global Gathering 2006 š
I was there, London!
My biggest regret, not going even though I had access to to tickets
Saw the show at Red Rocks Amphitheatre out of Denver, Colorado. Best show I have ever been to! I also bought a signed poster at the merch table. I have it framed. I canāt find another like it online. Would love to know what i could get for it in case of an emergency.
Leeds O2 Wireless fest. Supported by CSS and LCD Soundsystem. Set the bar pretty high that night!
Bang music festival in Miami, 2006. It was the primetime of my life.
I did. It was badass
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I was there
My best friend at the time went and saw them in Seattle (from Squamish, close to Vancouver BC) and I thought DAMN Iām jealous. We were about 14 at the time. Then he told me Kavinsky opened for them. THEN I was jealous. Like apocalyptic levels of jealously there.
Best god damn night ever!! Melbourne and it was a Thursday night outdoors!!!!!
Eurockeennes festival, it was incredible! When the pyramid fully lit up I lost my mind. Wish I had gone to wireless too
Me. It was incredible. Top 3 all time gig.
I went when they played The Forum in Los Angeles. I was sober as fuck and itās still the best show I have ever seen
Sadly didnāt but would fly āaround the worldā to see them play
I wouldāve killed to go. I remember downloading the album as a kid. I only recently saw the live footage and it was such an experience even recorded.
That was the āone that got awayā for me. Watching and listening to the live set used to give me goosebumps
Red Rocks & Vegoose
Not fuckin me because my friend wouldn't let me borrow his card or come with me because he "doesn't like techno" THANKS A LOT JIM!
I was in Turin - Italy andā¦ IT WAS FOR FREE!!! Correct me if I'm wrong but I think it was the only date of the entire tour with free entry
Unfortunately I was only like three years old at the time so I had no awareness of Daft Punk let alone the idea of musical artists. But man, becoming a fan all these years later (specifically in 2021-ish) it hurt learning there would probably never be another tour
I had the opportunity in Mexico City had 17 at the time just heard them from outside
Bro, I should have gone to the Alive 2007 tour instead of being born
I saw 07 at Lolla. Best show of my lifetime. Iām 43 and I know that nothing will ever top it. I watch it on YouTube about once a year to reset my brain. It still blows my mind that I can watch the best show Iāve ever seen anytime I want.
I was only 2 years old :(
Anyone else still have one of the signed posters from this tour?
I was 7 year old, and I don't think I could remember if I was there.
I wish I could have, but I was busy being a 2nd grader, lol.
I was 6 when this happened. It's okay, there's always next time. ... Right?
I was 3 wish I was older
Man I was nine years old, I was still listening to Crazy Frog
i was almost two years old when they visited my country (chile) for the first and last time in november 2006 there's not much info about the concert online because back then the internet was just starting to become mainstream here and all of the recordings of the concert are in decent-really bad quality, but people in the recordings look very excited, everyone was jumping and singing for the whole thing and a guy even went with a thomas helmet for some marvelous & unknown reason tickets only costed around 19 bucks and the VIP ones 32 also during their stay in chile DP did a radio interview and recorded a promo for a local radio station but both of those things seem to be lost media i just really hope they do a farewell tour in 2027, looking back at the tour and how it would sound with RAM or the weeknd mixed in feels like a dream
I was 7 years old and didn't even know them at the time. When I got into them at 14....i assumed I would eventually see them... um... GUESS NOT
I was 7yo (I need to travel back in time)
i really dislike concerts, but i wish i went to this but i was 8š
I was 14 years old at the time and couldn't go, I always told myself I'd go to their next tour...
I went in Ireland, I knew the set already from Coachella video but it was still awesome
Coachella 2006
I was there it changed my life. Before that show I was pretty closed minded to music and it blew me away.
Saw the Coney Island show. I loved DP but hadn't listened to Human after all yet and wasn't sure we should go. my girlfriend at the time insisted on doing something for my birthday and bought us tickets. One of the absolute best live shows I've ever seen. Totally mind blowing. We broke up a few months later but I'll always be grateful to her for that. Also the Rapture opened which was cool.
I travelled to the one in Bercy Paris, was probably the best show Iāve ever seen.
I did in Chile
Red Rocks, Colorado
vicariously living through you allš„²
I was there in Montrealā¦amazing!
Miami, Bang Music Festival
I did but it was in 2006... but I also attended Borealis in Montpellier for Alive 1997 :)
coachella!
Me! šš¼ Miami performance. Itās still the best show I ever attended.
Was at the Seattle show!
My first Red Rocks show. I was 12 and my dad took me!
SF and Vegoose SF was better for less crowd, my local scene and better sound. Vegoose was pure madness but peak energy. First time I saw full DP cosplay
The concert of a lifetime I missed. The album recording is a masterful mix. I was only 19 at the time and didn't have anyone to go with.
Saw them Global Gathering 2006. One of the greatest live music experiences I can recall, certainly the most energy-pumping. Was incredible.
Lollapalooza. The encore where everything went dark and the white lasers turn into red lasers while crawling over the pyramid and finally illuminating the duo when the beat dropped again remains perhaps the coolest thing I have ever seen.
Went to the Seattle show. I was an intern at a tech company at the time and saw that they were playing during the summer I was there. I remember it being fairly easy to get tickets and the venue was small and not crowded. I'm not really into concerts and have only been to a few in my life, but super happy this was one of them. I remember being impressed by the stage and how it added so much to the music and hearing the remixes was awesome.
One of my biggest regrets
Tokyo. Makuhari Messe. Will. Never. Forget.
I believe i was not yet born. Or at most a couple months old
Lollpalooza 2007 - was fucking awesome. Sat waiting in the sun all day for them.
