daft punk (1)
… and just like that, my sadness over missing Girl Talk this weekend evaporated thanks to a pair of Parisian robots, a giant LED encrusted pyramid, and a pulsing message of love.
(more tomorrow when I’m less sleepy and thoughts are slightly more organized, but for now just know that Daft Punk’s show was outstanding — musically and visually impeccably crafted and overflowing with joy).

Here’s what Ryan had to say before rushing down to SeaTac to catch a plane:
“I’m really at a loss for words right now. I saw The Rolling Stones at Wembley Arena in ’03 and even though I’m not of the Stones’ generation I thought it was the best concert I’d ever been to. To see living legends play in their hometown in front of thousands of screaming and dancing fans who never let up once, was about the coolest thing I’d ever experienced.Tonight was better than that. Daft Punk tore the house down and then burned the rubble. There’s a half a chance I’m going to miss my flight tonight but there’s no chance I’m going to be upset about it. ”
By far the most amazing concert I have ever seen. I really think we should start a pictures and possibly video repository so we can all reflect years down the line how mind blowing of an experience this was. I have never seen so much energy from a crowd, nor have I ever felt that way for so long. I love the new suits!
Hopping on a place to South America in 4 hours… time to drink!
those suits were the mind-blowing icing on the cake after a night of visual treats! putting the TRON guy to shame…
This was the best concert, or performance of any kind, that I’ve ever experienced.
What a night, I just wished it had never ended, it was just the perfect combination of unbelievable visuals and incredible music performance.
At the end of the concert, after the amazing encore and after listening to some of the comments from my friends and other people around me. I just kept thinking about how lucky I was to have been there and this clip came to mind. “They Should Have Sent A Poet” LOL.
Seriously though it was the best musical performance I ever experienced.
