Daft Punk (Greek Theatre, 27 July 2007)

A month has passed since Shearwater, and I was so anxious to get out of the office and go see Daft Punk and The Rapture. The last time I saw Daft Punk was Coachella and they put on a show that was beyond belief. This time, I expected that they will have the similar set up with the pyramid, but I hoped that they would change things up a bit from the Coachella show. They did at times, but I lacked interested for the most part since I saw everything they did before.

For most of the crowd, they haven't seen this elaborate music and light show that Daft Punk put on. So, they were just astounded by everything they saw. From the start of "Robot Rock," to the little bit of "Around the World," and to the awesome rendition of "Technotronic," complete with eyepopping visuals. They played pretty much everything that mattered from their previous releases. I wished they played a little bit more of "Around the World," but instead we were relegated to just a few seconds of the song as a transition to another.

The lighting was just great. And during the encore, the lights slowly snaked their way to the band and then their jackets lighted up. As you probably already know, Daft Punk dressed up like robots and they acted like it too. However, the maniacal crowd were anything but robots, constantly flapping their arms in the air and screaming the occasional "woo!" or "Wow" for good meausre.

My friends and I started off on the floor but after three or four songs, went to the beer garden and sat at the lawn. We then moved over to the seats were our other friends were.

I missed the damn Rapture because they came on at 7:45 even though the ticket says that the show starts at 8pm. That pissed me off so much since I wanted to see them a lot more than Daft Punk. Oh well.

Beer Rating: 1/2
