2006 as a great year for live gigs…
Was sorting through an old hard drive the other day and found these photos from Daft Punk live at Marley Park in Dublin - Aug, 2006. The quality is pretty low because this must have one of the first camera phones I owned. Anybody else remember their Sony K750i ? 🥹
I did. have some videos as well but I think they sadly died with the phone so I ripped one off YouTube.
Anyway, about the gig which did not disappoint. Audiences in Ireland are pretty legendary and this one was pure party from start to end.
Daft Punk in their helmets on top of the pyramid relentlessly banging out the tunes, even Robot Rock and some of the stuff off Human After All sounded good.
I didn’t discover till years later that they had used as part of their setup an Ableton rig to trigger and remix all the songs in real time which made for a pretty unpredictable and fun set.
Best memory though was getting a double decker bus into Dublin for a house party afterwards and the whole top of the decker bus singing Around the World over and over again and battering the seats and windows.
