DAFT PUNK
'ALIVE 2007'

Daft Punk's amazing Live Show is released on CD on November 19th 2008.

The 'ALIVE 2007' set will be available as a single CD edition, plus a two-disc case bound book featuring the show's encore, "Harder Better Faster Stronger (Live)" video and about 50 pages of pictures taken during the shows.

The live version of "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" will also be issued as a single, along with a video, directed by Oliver Gondry that will feature footage shot by fans at the tour closer in Brooklyn on August 9.

"It is a montage of people shooting the song in the audience with 250 cameras," Daft Punk's Thomas Bangalter says. "We were inspired by the Beastie Boys' 'Awesome, I F***in' Shot That!' and tried to do that in a four-minute video."

After the phenomenal reaction to their live shows Daft Punk have slated some extra dates: The band will touch down in the US on October 27 to perform at Las Vegas' Vegoose Festival. The duo will then be heading to Japan and Australia in December.

After such a long hiatus from playing live, the group admits it was blown away by the response to the shows, "We pretty much felt it everywhere, which was fascinating," Bangalter says. "It was a big deal each time. It's a big deal for us each time, too, which is what keeps it fresh."

Hardest, Best, Fastest, Strongest Live Album Ever! (or at least since Alive 1997).

(Virgin/EMI)

Album live du duo français Daft Punk - Sortie le 19 novembre 2008

ALIVE 2007 sera disponible en CD simple et en double album édition limitée. Sur cette édition limitée, livre-disque composé de 50 pages de photos prises lors des concerts, on retrouvera en bonus le long rappel du live (10mn) et le clip du single « Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (Live) ».

La version live inédite de « Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger » sortira en single, et sera accompagnée d'un clip réalisé par Olivier Gondry. Cette vidéo, tournée par des fans du groupe lors de leur dernier concert a Brooklyn le 9 août dernier, "sera un montage réalisé a partir de 250 cameras prêtées au public à l'occasion du concert" a déclaré Thomas Bangalter. "On a été inspiré par 'Awesome I F***in' Shot That' des Beastie Boys mais en essayant de démultiplier les moyens, sur un format court de vidéo de 4mn".

Après une tournée de plus d'un an (Etats-Unis, Canada, Japon, Chili, Argentine, Bresil, France, Angleterre, Ecosse, Irlande, Allemagne, Pays-Bas, Luxembourg, Italie, Espagne, Portugal, Belgique, Pologne...), les Daft Punk reconnaissent qu'ils ont été surpris et comblés par la réaction du public. "On a eu ce sentiment à chaque concert, ce qui était fascinant" raconte Thomas Bangalter, "c'était très fort partout... et important pour nous à chaque fois, ce qui permet de rester spontanés."

The "Hardest, Best, Fastest, Strongest" Live Album Ever ! ou au moins depuis Alive 1997...
