LATIMES:
Daft Punk's powerful arena rave
By Steve Appleford, Special to the Times
July 23, 2007
Daft Punk is not an act restricted by lowered expectations. If the long-anticipated tidal wave of dance-music popularity crashed with the new millennium, focusing less on massive raves than intimate club shows, the French duo's sold-out concert at the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena on Saturday was a startling show of force.
Standing atop a giant pyramid, Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo performed 90 minutes of thunderous beats, electro-riffs and effects in a set that included such excited signature songs as "Da Funk" and "Aerodynamic."
The first 30 minutes were restless and relentless — later the duo only occasionally slipped into monochromatic beats. They began with "Robot Rock," soon followed by "Technologic," as key "lyrics" from the song flashed on the big screen behind them: "touch," "bring," "pay," "start," "watch" etc.
Daft Punk entered to the interplanetary greeting from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." It was a sound rooted in '70s sci-fi, much like the duo's "robot" motorcycle helmets, shiny headgear that could have been lifted from "Battlestar Galactica" or "Star Wars." The helmets leveled the concert experience for fans. Whether they were up in the rafters or up close, there wasn't much of a difference. The real physical energy was expressed by the crowd.
Before the headliners were even onstage, the crowd was already approaching full boil during a stirring preamble from support act Sebastian & Kavinsky, another pair of French DJs. But this wasn't '90s dance culture reborn. Glow sticks and costumes were in short supply on Saturday. Daft Punk aimed higher than that, delivering its beats and riffs dramatically into the present.

ratatatatatatatatatattat in sucked.
the other dj's were hella random and their mixing was shady.
OMFG Curly, sickkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk video's! Our view the entire night, so sick. I just watched all your video's. This one was probably my tune of the night. "Who's an angel" or something like that. I've never heard it before.

I was seriously blown away. :eyes:
I got there pretty early and had a lot of time to kill but those last 90 minutes were worth it. My highlights were Around the World and Prime Time of Your Life, and the Tron suits of course.
How hot must it be under those helmets?

they have very good ventilation in them. the company that they contracted to make them had to make sure of this. too much heat would cause them to sweat too much and it would just cause irritation and what not. you can purchase their helmets if you wanted. they are a cool 85k each.:toothless
