Daft Punk Live Album in November
from billboard
Daft Punk will in late November release a live album chronicling the June 14 Paris stop on its first tour in a decade, Billboard.com can reveal. The as-yet-untitled Capitol set will be available in a single CD edition plus a two-disc set which features the show's encore. As of now, no live DVD companion is in the works, according to the group. "We're from Paris and we hadn't played there for 10 years," Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter told Billboard last Friday, the afternoon following the tour closer in Brooklyn, N.Y. "It must have been a special night for the audience, as well as for us." The tour version of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" will be issued as a single from the live set, and a video, directed by Oliver Gondry, will feature footage shot by fans at the Brooklyn show. "It is a montage of people shooting the song in the audience with 250 cameras," Bangalter says. "We were inspired by the Beastie Boys' 'Awesome, I F***in' Shot That!' and tried to do that in a four-minute video." Daft Punk will return to the U.S. in late October for a performance at the Vegoose Festival in Las Vegas, and is weighing offers for more shows next year. After such a long layoff from live performance, the group admits it was blown away by the response to the recent North American shows, which included a co-headlining performance at Lollapalooza in Chicago. "We pretty much felt it everywhere, which was fascinating," Bangalter says. "It was a big deal each time. It's a big deal for us each time, too, which is what keeps it fresh." Click Here! With a stroke of good timing, Daft Punk is also in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 thanks to the "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" sample Kanye West utilizes on his new hit, "Stronger." The two acts did not collaborate in the studio, and the actors who portray the Daft Punk robots in the film "Electroma" took Bangalter and partner Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo's place in the "Stronger" video. But the pair say they are thrilled with how West's track turned out, having heard first heard it on Los Angeles station Power 106 while waiting for a recent flight to San Francisco. "The DJ had made an edit of our song at the beginning and then it turned into his song," de Homem-Christo says. "Our song had a good sound, but when he put Kanye's record on, the sound was really fat. It sounds really big. It's not a collaboration in the studio, but the vibe of the music we do separately connected in what he did with the song." WIN AND AWESOME Last edited by dubman; 08-15-2007 at 10:17 AM. |

Re: Daft Punk Live Albun in November
what's the point of this if there's not gonna be a dvd though? I think the visuals account for at least half of the excitement of the current live show.

Re: Daft Punk Live Albun in November
the billboard article doesn't say they decided not to do the dvd. i think the dvd will take some time to produce. they were filming at most of the shows so i expect we'll get a dvd out of this tour.

Re: Daft Punk Live Albun in November
This should be a great album. The joy of "Alive 1997" and the recent live sets i've heard from DP, is the anything-goes approach...drop samples from lots of songs here and there, nonstop mix. Suits their tunes, which are more a collection of loops and samples than melodies and song structures. Plus, the tracks off "Human After All" sound much better in small doses here and there in the course of a live show than they do for 5 minutes at a go on the LP!

Re: Daft Punk Live Albun in November
you know what...
I don't know if you really need the dvd. I mean, I don't think it would nearly have the same impact as being there. It might even be a bit boring to watch, unless you were like throwing a party and you wanted the equivalent of a screen saver on the tv it's all about that live version of "Face to Face / Harder Better..." ...and the MASSIVE ENCORE |

Re: Daft Punk Live Albun in November
pitchfork sez:
Spin.com reports that the disc will be released November 20 in America, and will collect 27 tunes (32, should you opt for the bonus encore disc) recorded live in Paris this summer. The hits-laden set also comes with the previously reported Olivier Gondry-directed, fan-filmed video for "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger", as well as a 50-page "digi-book" featuring photos from the tour. Ah, memories. Daft Punk have added a few shows to their 2007 itinerary, which, as you know, includes a set October 27 at Las Vegas' Vegoose festival. They'll hit Japan for three shows in December-- Osaka on December 6 and Tokyo on December 8 and 9. Disc 1: 01 Robot Rock 02 Oh Yeah 03 Touch It 04 Technologic 05 Television Rules the Nation 06 Crescendolls 07 Too Long 08 Steam Machine 09 Around the World 10 Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger 11 Burnin' 12 Too Long 13 Face to Face 14 Short Circuit 15 One More Time 16 Aerodynamic 17 Aerodynamic Beats 18 Forget About the World 19 Prime Time of Your Life 20 Brainwasher 21 Rollin' and Scratchin' 22 Alive 23 Da Funk 24 Daftendirekt 25 Superheroes 26 Human After All 27 Rock'N'Roll Disc 2: 01 Human 02 Together 03 One More Time (Reprise) 04 Sounds Better With You 05 Stardust (Instrumental) ------------- how the hell did they think to seperate it by track. thats crazy, each one is going to be like 2.5 minutes long. i bet gambit seperated the coachella boot better than this. still obv. excited tho |

Re: Daft Punk Live Albun in November
Okay, that tracklisting doesn't really make sense since DP mashes their songs together.
But I'll definitely be buying it when it comes out.
