The thing that always strikes me about this kind of "live performance" is - how do you know it's live? How easy would it be just to synchronise the whole lights and music thing - and the guys just need to stand up there and move around a bit.
With this kind of thing, you dont know, but making it live, building ont he music and altering it live adds a lot of the pleasure for the artists and it's likely to be for that reason alone. "live" in some sense, for their own enjoyment.
I went to their show at Coney Island. INCREDIBLE. I can now die happy.
Later I read a "behind-the-scenes" article about what the inside of the pyramind actually looks like. There looks to be a lot of live mixing going on, though there's still no guarantee that it's actually them. Could easily have been some hired DJs.
Just replayed it for the 5th time. Man I love that mix. Could do without the shakeycam though.
Edit: anyone know how they filmed this? the camera seems to be all over the place, yet taken from the same handicam, sometimes in the crowd. It'd be cool if they passed out cameras to the audience then edited the footage later.
mg, *livemusic because part of the musical experience is just experiencing it with other people, vs. listening to it on the bus on your Zune/mp3 player.
i bet they paid 2 bums, from the alley behind the theater, 100 bucks each, to stand up there in helmets!
those sneaky French bastards.

And it's true what they say -- only Daft Punk can mix Daft Punk.
That must be incredible live.
^ for that matter, how do you even know it's Daft Punk, under those helmets?

My tickets were $60/piece.

Live techno? I don't get it.
Neither do any of people in this video. But then again they're all rolling their balls off so it doesn't really matter.
