Alive 2007

The beauty of live music isn’t just hearing your favorite songs performed in front of you – it’s hearing the little twists, licks, and additions that artists throw in as they make the music in front of you. Daft Punk takes this to the logical extreme here by remixing their entire discography against itself, taking their many famous motifs and layering them upon one another to create something familiar yet entirely new. People on this project love to complain about live albums, but this is something entirely different and honestly stands as a distinct album in DP’s discography and one of their best overall. My major regret in life is not being born early enough to see this tour!

This is the rare live album that actually enhances the listening experience by being live. It really feels like you’re at one of the best dj sets of all time where every song is club classic as soon as it starts. It’s even better when you’re high.

First I thought there is more than enough Daft Punk on the original list and by user added regular albums. Certainly for electronic acts a live album is more or less a best of album. In this case I must admit that the live versions add a lot musically and are a lot of fun to listen to. The album is a bit long, but keeps being interesting.

I wondered why I would want to listen to a Daft Punk live album instead of the studio albums. Then I started the album and the opening minute of Robot Rock / Oh Yeah had me schooled and I was a believer. Absolutely incredible to hear Daft Punk perform live. The mixes of songs are phenomenal. Absolutely loved this ride, maybe even more than the studio albums. Damn I wish I could have seen this show!

Easily one of the all time great love albums. Every song has evolved from its album version onto some new type of beast. The transitions are like sweeping joyful moments

Rating: 10/10

Awesome livealbum! One you wished you were there

I mean yeah, of course

Fantastic! Definitely made me wish I'd been there.

Yes my go to Daft Punk album, not a fan of live albums but I can make an exception for this one, just works so well!

An excellent concert set as a retrospective

What if there was a cool french dance party?

Don't usually enjoy live albums but this was really good

Brilliant DP live album that mixes tracks together with skill and passion. I find myself grinning like a fool through some of it because it is so infectious and clever. When the bass drops....

I generally don't like the idea of live albums included in this list. It's somehow important that *Discovery*'s in it, but it seems that the rest of Daft Punk's career could be better represented through later studio LP *Random Access Memory* than through *Alive 2007*. Also, I sort of think that the global grading for this record is somewhat too high as it is right now. That being said, I readily recognize that the nature of this beast makes it special. It's as much a live album as it is a "remix" one (and a very propulsive one at that). And most of the different versions of tracks also found in *Human After All* within the tracklist can easily be considered as stellar improvements compared to the originals. Special mention for the slightly accelerated and higher-pitched version of "Television Rules The Nation". Now is that enough to include the album in my own list? I don't think so. Yet that doesn't mean that the music on it is bad. It just goes on a little too long at times, and it is not intended as bringing anything that's really "new" anyway. So it's just an off-shoot in the French act's discography -- an excellent one, but an offshoot nonetheless. 3.5/5 for the purposes of this list of essential albums, rounded up to 4 8.5/10 for more general purposes (5 + 3.5) Number of albums from the original list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 465 Albums from the original list I *might* include in mine later on: 288 Albums from the original list I won't include in mine: 336 ---- Number of albums from the users list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 14 Albums from the users list I *might* select for mine later on: 26 Albums from the users list I won't select for mine: 45 (including this one) ---- Émile ! J'ai répondu à ton message. Regarde six reviews au dessus !

I’m sure it would have been better seeing them do this. It was a bit 2D.

Another daft punk album. I've been waiting for this to load some more user albums, and when it finally does, it's just another fkn daft punk album. And a live one at that. For crying out loud, was that the best you could come up with? After they've already been in the main list, and the user list, multiple times? 2/5 and boooooring.

Wow. What a choice. I would have loved to have been there with that mix and the inevitably fantastic light show.

French house. Me ha gustado. Un 4.

Banger. However, kind of a best of so: 4/5

Have been waiting for an excuse to listen to this one. A little long and insignificant for this list though. I love it though. 4 3

I'm sure being at this concert (or concerts I didn't read up on the production) would have been a five star experience but as a recorded experience it was fine but not extraordinary and very long.

Pretty cool live album with the mashups of their famous songs. 90 minutes of daft punk hits is always pretty enjoyable. For a live album this isn’t that bad. You hear the crowd here and there but for the most part it’s just solid daft punk from their great albums. 6.7/10

Ugh I hate live albums. People screaming is the worst part of live shows, and listening to it recorded is even more grating. It's still Daft Punk though.

This was a really well produced live album that gives about as close a sense of what a Daft Punk live show is about as you can get in a recording. I don't really know their music all that well though, so I don't have the enthusiasm for this that other reviewers have. For that reason as well, any interesting nuances or change-ups in these songs would completely have gone over my head as a listener. Still, a pretty fun listen, if an overly long one. Fave Songs: Around the World / Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger; Da Funk / Daftendirekt; Television Rules the Nation / Crescendolls

live album.......... ............. .......... .... no

I guess I'm biased on this album. I'm so sick of Daft Punk. And a live album. This did not sound appealing at all to me.

You'll be listening to a live Daft Punk album without all the drugs required to actually enjoy the live show...

More live albums in the recs than the main at this point, truly insane
