Product Description
Amazon.co.uk
It’s a rare breed of dance artist capable of putting on a live show that inspires not just motion and emotion in an audience, but genuine, flat-out awe. Alive 2007, however, is documentary evidence that Daft Punk--aka Parisian robo-men Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo--now join the ranks of Kraftwerk and Underworld in live dance music’s upper echelons. Recoded at Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in June 2007, it finds Daft Punk pull the bolts off their back catalogue and get busy with the circuitry, rewiring it into a rolling montage that’s as deviously complex as it is flat-out crowd-pleasing. Affairs commence with the unmistakable one-note guitar fanfare of "Robot Rock", but halfway though, Daft Punk get busy with their onstage tech-mountain, splicing in snatches of the pounding "Oh Yeah" before dropping back to the riffs. Deeper in, tracks flow together, vocal hooks escape from their sockets and skitter off through the mix--and by the time of the epic climax, a triumphant cut-and-shut of "Superheroes", "Human After All", and "Rock ‘n’ Roll", you’ve forgotten where the joins ever sat. It’s a decade of Daft Punk hits, dismantled and masterfully reassembled in front of your eyes. --Louis Pattison

Daft Punk are usually regarded as a 'dance' act but the truth is that, whilst they know how to make great house music, they long since transcended any trend or genre. I was lucky enough to witness them headline the Wireless Festival in Hyde Park, London as part of the Alive 2007 Tour and they ABSOLUTELY BLEW MY MIND!! I'm not just saying that for affect...I have honestly never seen such a great live show. Completely original and totally brilliant.
This live set consists of snatches of HOMEWORK, DISCOVERY and the under-rated HUMAN AFTER ALL (Daft Punk's three classic and ground-breaking studio albums) mixed and mashed up almost like a DJ set but better than any DJ set you could begin to imagine. And arguably, some of the tracks sound better live than recorded - more bass, more energy.
And by some stroke of crazy genius, this recording (of the show at Bercy in Paris in June 2007) truly manages to capture the noise, ferocious energy and sheer massiveness of the Daft Punk live experience. You just have to hear it and hear it loud.

Although I would never have declared myself a Daft Punk fan I have always been aware of them and their more popular tracks. Then one day a friend of mine told me this was the best album he had heard for an age - much septisism followed - then another friend heaped much of the same praise upon it too; so I bought it.
I had to agree with them.
From start to finish it is simply flows from killer tune, to irresistable hook back to another amazing tune. If you want people up and dancing in any situation this is the album for you.
Even the slower, less strong portions feel as if they are simply giving you a rest from the manic bouncing and shape pulling you will have shamed yourself with.
This album is the majority of DP's better tracks mashed, cut and fused together - doing a better job than any supposed best of - to make arguably the best dance record of all time.
Due to this album Daft Punk are a priorty "Must See" band. Simply, if you like good tunes, a bit of bass and want to step away from the overplayed indie scene - then this is the alum for you.

This is not my typical current listening but it is fantastic, better even as a live document than Kraftwerk's Minimum Maximum, better than the studio originals and mixed together in a totally innovative way. I am already on my second copy having given the first away to a deserving friend - like a previous reviewer said "Play loud!".

I am just going to tell you...
If you like Daft Punk, get this album.
If you like dance music of any kind, get this album.
If you like any form or electronic music, get this album.
If you don't like dance music but are open to new stuff, get this album.
As it stands, this is the greatest investment to time ratio I have ever had on any media. While it only cost me $10 (Australian) I have listened to it on iTunes 57 times from start to finish, on my IPod at least 3 times that amount (estimate) and have played it at every party I have ever hosted/helped with/been allowed to choose the music for. So I estimate that I have listened to it 250+ times at 83mins a play through that is 354 hours of enjoyment for 10 Australian dollars. That means for ever $1 I spent on it, I have gotten 35.4 hours worth of enjoyment out of it (and growing). What other media product has been such great value!? That is I have 2 copies just in case 1 of them breaks.
And it hasn't gotten old yet!
Seriously though, My No.1 all time favorite album.

...in this case I make an exception because Daft Punk are so much different live than they are on record. Well worth a listen whether you've seen them live or not. All their best known songs are on here, mixed altogether of course.

Simply the best!
I have every CD & DVD released by Daft Punk & this is by far the best ever (why it got deleted & then re-issued in such a short space of time I don't know?).
What makes this extra special is the fact that it's recorded in the artist's home town of Bercy (near Paris) in June 2007 so they've really pulled out all the stops to make this fantastic!
Please be aware when you listen that this is NOT a DJ set where Daft Punk are simply mixing a few of their own songs together. They actually somehow reconstructed all the tracks as they are performing with each song sounding very similar to the original recording but completely different.
Even if you've already got Homework, Discovery etc you'll absolutely love this live performance!

Astounding
Why have I only found this album now in 2012? Perhaps it's come along at the right time, who knows. One thing's for sure, from start to finish this is class, pure class. Read more
