Line Out - Comments on Daft Punk http://lineout.thestranger.com/2007/07/daft_punk_1 Daft Punk photo by Justin Renney Holy shit! How to even talk about Daft Punk's show last night? Everything keeps coming back at me in fragments and moments, crescendos and choruses, words flashing on screen and multicolored neon patterns. It...

What a great re-cap. A completely amazing show from a group that's teaching everyone how it's done. They were spectacular. WAMU felt like some crazy warehouse rave. If that show didn't get you dancing well...I don't even know. I pray to the pyramid.

i never really got into a groove because they were too busy being deconstructionists. there were bright moments, but for my money, if they're going to throw a party, they should do it like they did 10 years ago w/ alive 1997. instead what i got was a simplistic fading in and out of the kick drum to get the crowd going. (well, that or do some fun/different lighting effect)
i felt ripped off. for $50 there should have at least been dancers. or handjobs.

but dude, I'm sorry, those pix were taken way too close to be any good. they fail to capture the enormity of the experience that the daft punk show was. For once being up close was actually a disadvantage, like being too close to a Magic Eye poster.

Honestly, I feel bad for any burn-out e-tard or shroomer because that show was such a mind blowingly awsome affair that you wasted yr $20 and yr dealer's time.
oh, and you can bring water into the show room if you totaly rough it and don't buy it IN THE BAR, coz duh assfaces try to sneak booze out in them. The people I kicked it with at the show actually got their beer for free because the WaMu staff had no idea what they were doing. SWEET!!

oh, and PS it wasn't a police state in there, I snuck in plenty of drugs, got my friends high in the middle of the venue, and had the best, most hassle free rock and roll experience of my life. all the while reeling from grandy ditching me! oh to dream the impossible dream!

BEST SHOW OF MY LIFE! I felt like my mom after her first Floyd show afterwards!!
