Alive 2007 was different, though, because it mixed selections from Homework with material from Discovery and Human After All. A decade earlier, the robots had played songs from their debut Homework on their “Daftendirektour,” which resulted in the live album Alive 1997. It brought fans closer to Daft Punk than they’d ever been before while still maintaining the air of mystery surrounding them-if not enhancing it.Īlive 2007 was not Daft Punk’s first adventure on the road. That’s why, ten years ago, the Alive 2007 tour was such a big deal. From the very beginning, the duo has been hesitant to speak publicly or give interviews, reinforcing the illusion that Daft Punk is truly from another reality.
Yet first and foremost, the world knows Daft Punk as robots-precisely, according to lore, two musically gifted men who were turned into robots in a studio accident. Sure, a quick Google search will yield you the names of the people behind the spectacle: French DJs Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter. Clad in shiny helmets, suits, and gloves, they seem like they’d be more at home in a sci-fi film than at an awards show. There’s always been a certain mythic allure surrounding Daft Punk.
