After paying off one of the security to get all of us on the ground floor, we soon took in the sounds of Sebastian and Kavinsky who were warming up the crowd. The two DJs staged two sets in between Daft Punk and Ratatat. There were near 14000 people there, and sold out. We got there aruond 6 and the show wasn't starting til 8 o'clock with Daft Punk playing at 11!

Ratatat had an awesome back drop with what looked like to be shapes of silly putty, stop animation combined with speed and words. It was a really awesome set with sounds of wildcats during the song. They had the crowd going and this performance was better than the first time I saw them. I thought their set was pretty quick but still awesome. After that the battle began.

This was the first time I saw Daft Punk so I was totally ready to smash through the crowd to get in the front. After 20 minutes of the second set from Sebastian & Kavinsky, we were nearly there. Maybe about 6 rows back, trying to hold our ground. I think my right leg muscle got bigger. During the set, the curtains were closed, which got everyone excited. After ten minutes we saw a hand, or atleast a couple fingers sticking out of the curtain and it was awesome! They opened the curtains to reveal a giant pyramid thing covered with two huge screens. The synchronized lighting and video was completely amazing! They played a nearly 2-hour set and of course after ten minutes of encore chanting, they came back out with full on tron-esque red light lined helmets suits. I can't believe I almost turned down the opportunity to go!

Daft Punk and same set wil be playing Berkeley, Seattle, Denver, Chicago, New York, until they hit Canadia! If you are near one of those cities, I would TOTALLY recommend grabbing a show.
