So let me just start off by saying that when I first heard Daft Punk was coming to town, I didn't care that much. Granted, I knew it would be a good show, but I had plans to go to a big show at Red Rocks about a week and a half before that. Plus, while I like Daft Punk, I've never loved them (even if they have had a few tracks that I've really enjoyed). I wasn't planning on going, but my friend's gf sent me a message on myspace saying she and her friend were going, and my friend couldn't go - and they wanted to know if I wanted to go in place of him (I would still have to pay for my ticket though). I thought about it for a bit then made the decision that I would head to the show with them.
Best decision I've ever made!!
The show was probably one of the best, if not THE best show I've ever been to. The flow of their set was fantastic, the lighting was spectacular, and the crowd was in good spirits the whole time. Words cannot even describe how great the show was... definitely one of those "life changing events." The bar has been set pretty high for any show I go to from here on forward, so I have a feeling I'll be facing nothing but disappointment in the future. It was so good that I'm contemplating going and seeing them again in Vegas in October... it's just real expensive and it doesn't even include airfare/hotel... so I'll have to ponder it for awhile.
Here are some pics I took, a long with some video... I will probably update this post later with the rest of the video I haven't had the chance to upload yet. And let me tell you, the pics and video do this show no justice at all, that's how amazing it was!
Here are pics of me and the girls I went with:
Here's a pic of some crazy guy that was dressed up like Wendy:
And here are some pics from the show (if you can make out the pyramid structure, the two guys that make up Daft Punk are in the middle of it - it was broken into two sections, a base and a tip - they were in the open area between the two parts):
Some of them are pics of a screen that is to the right of the stage, they came out looking a little funky but I like em, I usually managed to catch a camera angle transition in the middle so the screenshots look layered.
Here are some shots of their huge LED that was displaying the words to their song "Technologic":
and here are some more from the show:
and one more batch, these are from the end of their set:
but of course, they had to come out for an encore, I only had the mental capacity to take one pic (did get some video though) when they came out, the suits they were wearing lit up red... pretty damn cool!
and here are the videos I took (which I'll update later after I finish uploading the rest of them to youtube, hopefully by the end of the week:
