I'm sure they aren't actually doing anything on stage... it sounds all pre-recorded and far too perfect to be live. It seems too good to be true, the lights are perfectly in sync with the songs that it's pretty unbelievable. Either they are totally in control of the lights, or they are doing something absolutely 100% exact without any errors/improv on stage.
 
That sounds like they've just mixed versions from the CD, there's nothing special about it. Chemical Brothers, Prodigy and Faithless on the other hand not on actually mix live but have live band members.

I suspect the same, but I've decided I don't really care if that's the case because it's the the most spectacular thing I've ever seen or heard. The second coming of Christ is going to be somewhat anti-climatic.
 
A DJ friend informs me that "they just push a few buttons". I'm not really bothered either way. Still amazing.

Want to try and catch Justice now. Shame they cancelled Rockness.

i seen them at leeds and thought it was amazing, i was that annoying guy chanting the da funk tune befor they came on. Anyone who says its just a mix cd, goto a gig, you wont care after the first beat of robot rock hits.

burt, justice are doing creamfields end of august if you can wait that long. i missed them at chibuku start of june which i was gutted about
 
I saw them at Global last year and it was mind blowing. Absolutely legendary stuff. I'm gutted I didn't get tickets for this as the you tube link is amazing.

DP make me happier than any other dance act ever. The opening to One More Time instantly sends shivers down my back every... single... time...

This is a fairly irrelevant point as any decent band can play to a click track and be in sync with stage lights etc. In the case of Daft Punk though it's more about the show than performing the music and I would still love to see it.

It's not irrelevant. I understand click tracks, automated lights, etc, and know how they work and are controlled to be in time with a band - but this was (or seriously didn't seem like) not just playing to a click or using cues to set lights off. In fact it's not even a band, really.

My point is that every single bar was so finely rhythmically controlled and in sync with the lights and videos that it seemed too good to be true... ie it seemed as though they had rehearsed 1 hr and 30 mins of pure exactness, or something else was going on.
 
Daft Punk are completely in control of their own lights so I don't see why it's so impossible to believe that the lights and music would be exactly in sync. They've regularly answered critics who've questioned their live performances because it's something that understandably annoys them.

It's a no win situation for them because people are complaining about the show being too perfect but if it was thrown together and the cracks appeared people would be complaining about that too.

they use ableton live which is what makes it sound "perect"

once all the sounds/samples/tracks are setup properly it mixes them perfectly too the bar 1/2 bar 1/4 bar. whatever you want

they're doing no different to what other "dance" acts do for there live shows today , chem brothers , groove armada, SMD and digitalism all do a similar thing with ableton and controllers or with the actual hardware in some cases(smd)

the samples and software synths etc are all set up and synced before the show so all they really need to do is use the midi controllers inside that pyramid to trigger sounds or fade stuff in and out, nothing special but nothing anyone else has managed to do so perfect either.

maybe your confused thinking they're claiming to use the hardware synths and stuff for the show , afaik they switched completley too software years ago . the last album "human after all" was made in 2 weeks with ableton ,a guitar each and a rythmn box..

as for there 1997 show , well wow thats just in a whole different league ,

they took all the studio hardware from thomas's bedoroom (reportedly so full at the time that they had to remove his bed :p ) and put it on the stage in the clubs , they then bounced around turning dials and sliding faders for over an hour making whole new tracks "live" and possibly the best sounds ive ever heard. alive1997 is without a doubt the best cd ever made imo. its pure genious
