Just wanted to chime in here and say this show absolutely blew me away last week here in LA. Great sound, amazing light show, bunch of rolling freaks. Good times, good times.

Was it the same setup as Coachella, with the pyramid and such?

cosigned. i was on the floor about ten feet from the barrier and the crowd was about half in awe and half so out of their minds they didn't know what was happening. but it seemed everyone was having fun.

Im glad to be seein them at The Greek instead.
Went to a new years massive at the Arena a couple years back and it was kind of a run-down spot

SOMEONE ANSWER ME ABOUT THE GOD DAMN PYRAMID!!!!!!

yeah, sports arena is a dive and way huge, though they did sell it out.

yes, they had the pyramid.

The Coachella show was the best live performance I've ever experienced. I'd love to go again but can't justify the ticket price for one band.

So are they better up close, or is it all the same standing farther back? I need to strategize if/when I bail the LCD Soundsystem set to get a spot for Daft Punk at Lolla

I'll be there.....cannot wait !!

the pyramid!!! 10 days to toronto...

I cannot reiterate it enough. If you have not seen Daft Punk, do your soul a favor and go see them. If it's sold out, find a way. Daft Punk at Coachella might rank as one of the top 5 moments in the history of Earth.

The man asked a question, people. We need some opinions on this matter.

Get up close. As close as possible. THEY'RE FRENCH ROBOTS IN A PYRAMID. You can't just hang back and watch them from the lawn seats.

that is our plan. we are getting as close to being on that damned spaceship as we possibly can. i am seriously stoked. we are under ten days before the pyramid spaceship lands and Chicago can get down. this is going to be awesome.

BAD ADVICE! Stay at least 100-200 feet back so you can see the full spectacle but still be in the thick of the dancing frenzy. Being at the very front is not the ideal place for this show as the performers are way up high and aren't doing much anyways.

As the only person at the entire festival who'll be getting close for Satellite Party, I'll already be at Daft Punk's stage an hour early. Just have to avoid the temptation of running across the field for LCD.

disgusting, even by my low standards

I have to ask why? Nuno quit. I'll probably end up catching some of the Satellite Party set just because I want to be on that side of the park for LCD/Daft, but all I'm really hoping to hear are a couple Jane's Addiction songs.

Except for the fact it's pre-recorded. There's nothing really "live" about it.

Wasn't some of Roger Waters' stuff at Live Earth pre-recorded?

Key word here, "some". But lets not compare the 2007 world wide ticket sales leader with a guy doing nothing on stage with a computer.

CORRECTION: 2 guys doing nothing on stage with a computer

I love it when people who obviously don't need sales to validate the music they love (Montana's top ten so far list) point to sales in their arguments.

No shit? Nevermind, I'm out. So glad I learned this ahead of time.

I figured he had to be the only reason someone would want to see Satellite Party. Sorry for your loss, Yancy.

the title "2007 world wide ticket sales leader" sounds like it deserves a championship belt or something like that. perhaps a crown?

King Mabel, that sounds about right.

i'm pretty sure that's what Roger Waters looks like, no?

As much as I'm disappointed not to see Nuno, I'm thrilled I won't be standing far away from LCD only to realize it's for naught. And I'm glad he quit that shite band. Can you say Extreme reunion? I can.

Perfect.

'Cause Roger Waters live is as terrible as 1995's King of the Ring?

Eh....that's a bit too try-hard.

You're trying too hard to make "Too try-hard" a catch phrase. Stick with the classics like "too adult contemporary", "sounds like soccer mom music" and "We've got two words for ya".

No.

I just thought Roger Waters was a fat black man with a scepter and crown.

You mean he isn't?

this is so weird, because i often refer to The Greek as "my house."

I refuse to turn this thread about how awesome Daft Punk is into another "Montana is old and doesn't get electronic and pop music" discussion.

You've got to set 'em up.
