I whole heartedly agree with your review of the Daft Punk show except for one thing. There were far more than 15,000 people in attendance. For a basketball game there is a capacity of about 16,000. The floor alone had to have somewhere around 10,000.

They did play Pink. I am positive. My homie went and reported back. The Mayan would have been sweet. I like the Mayan. I have had the soundboard of the Coachella show for just as long. There were definite differences, although a lot of similarities. The sequence was identical in a lot of places, but not having seen the show before, it was ill. I would definitely see it again.

All you people not smart enough to catch them the first time around got a stay of execution. Watching that same set over a year later SUCKED! (April 29th 2006, Coachella - July 21st 2007, LA Sports Arena) After I had memorized it for the past year of my life. I understand going to places they hadn't been, but LA had seen that set (Indio isn't LA, but who goes to Coachella... LA). And whoever didn't see them at Coachella aren't real fans so Daft Punk shouldn't care about them anyways... They need a new set. Just b/c electronic songs repeat over and over doesn't mean that their sets should too. P.S. Don't nobody tell me that their set wasn't the same. Encore was cool and Burnin' was burnin', but the set is the same.

actually, they played at The Mayan Theater in 1997 not The PInk (which only holds about 100 people, tho it's possible they did a guest DJ gig at the Pink while in town)

Better than sex is pushing it. But for anyone who is itching to try and either missed the first time around or can't get enough...it was just announced that they're playing Vegoose!!!

Daft Punk OWNED IT! I only wish it didn't have to end! The tickets were hard to get and now you know why. If you like dance music at all, you can't ignore how important DAFT is to music. I hope they will continue to bless us with timeless dance anthems for ever... they are robots afterall, right? The sports arena is one of the worst locations in America, but somehow the promoters worked with the D.P team to turn it into a haven of sound and light for one night... Congrats to them.. because the Sports Arena should be torn down. For one night, no one cared that it was a hot, wet, packed, dance factory or that the bartenders sucked and took bribes, nor that the conditions are closer to red neck state farm... nor did they care that the parking and security conditions were equal to a prison yard.... lets get DAFT PUNK back in a stylish LA upscale location.. like the Hollywood Bowl and let do this "ONE MORE TIME"

Sloane - yeah seeing them at Red Rocks is going to be fucking ridiculous. You are going to have a blast. cutephase - no drugs needed. The energy in that room was off the charts, regardless.

C - I won't take this as rubbing it in that I didn't take your extra ticket, instead I'll just say it's fuel to the fire to get jazzed to see them at Red Rocks on the 31st!!!

stunning show but not new, almost identical to the set they did at coachella, my religious experience occured when i saw that show at urb.com several months ago. If curious check it out there under videos.

I was on a complete Music and Dance high at this show!I love their music and have been dying to see them.I managed to get a 3rd level concourse seat(for what was said to be a sold out show) and I had a blast the whole time.I hope they come back to LA soon and realize that they are much loved in the City of Angels.I'm still blown away by the show.For me,the only artist that can top this show,is themselves.I await their return!! ROBOTS!!!

I was down on the floor amongst the sweaty masses. Despite the heat and humidity, the music willed you to dance. Phenomenal show. See them.
