Errybody is in Daft Punk mania! Next up for euphoric release is Los Angeles then Berkeley. I and the rest of the determined are meeting up on the floor of the Sports Arena and Coliseum tonight to go apeshit in similar fashion to the lego re-enactment of the last time they played in America at 2006’s Coachella. It looked exactly like the video above—I was there.
I know Mike B of Mike B vs Dickie G is gonna be the show tonight. He’s got massive stacks of wax and he shared this gem this week. A forgotten 1994 B-Side from the first single on UMM (also Soma Quality) that sounds like it was made yesterday. Daft Punk, you talented bastards:

Good choices, I’m a big fan of Assault ever since it popped up again on the hype machine.
I wish I could have travelled down to LA to see the show.
@ the Seraph:
Mike B ripped it and first had it on hype machine. That dude has so many rare old records. See him DJ in LA on Sunday at LAX with Curtis Vodka and Flufftronix:

Yeah I saw that, I actually commented on his blog when he posted it. Like I said, if I could get to LA I’d be there in a flash.
man, i did fly out for the show. absolutely incredible. what an incredible performance! now i can forgive myself having to to work on the night that they played at coachella. that was the best show i’ve ever seen.
Ed Banger & Throne of Blood are hosting Official Daft Punk and Rapture after parties, all party info is listed on http://www.mas-forever.com in the events section.
So excited for these!
BEST SHOW I’VE SEEN. I liked the fiber optic suits.
@ Lori:
That’s great how there’s these Ed Banger/Throne of Blood after-parties all over the globe!
L.A. didn’t get one. :< …But, Mike B and some others put on the the ‘Dafterparty’ with Curtis Vodka and some other folks. At least someone was looking after us!
That show was amazing, definitely the most fun Ive ever had a show (beating out Spank Rock in DC)…Its funny though- after hearing Daft Punk live I dont think I can listen to Justice again. As fun as Justice is there are not even close to the same level as Daft Punk. Like no where near.
LAndon - yeah seeing the live show really shows up the “new daft punk” label they’ve been given. Not that I don’t love Justice mind, but daft punk live is just about the best fucking thing ever.
I was there and I have to say - it was absolutely ridiculous. Best show I’ve been to all year.
the vibe was insane! it amazes me how concise their theme is, how well crafted, decided and executed. they have that down to a science. performances like those can’t be compared to other concerts, that and the audience was going nuts. that helps too.
This is exactly what I expected to find out after reading the title Punk mania: Live, Favorites and a B-side at http://WWW.MISSINGTOOF.COM Thanks for informative article
