Daftendirektour


Daftendirektour was the first concert tour by French electronic music duo Daft Punk. The tour spanned from January to December 1997.

History

For this tour, Daft Punk used their home studio equipment for the live stage. As Thomas Bangalter of the duo stated, "Everything was synched up—the drum machines, the bass lines. The sequencer was just sending out the tempos and controlling the beats and bars. On top of this structure we built all these layers of samples and various parts that we could bring in whenever we wanted to." Little video footage from the tour has been released. A clip featuring "Rollin' & Scratchin' can be seen on . Elements of the track "Alive" can also be heard as it was performed at the Mayan Theater in Los Angeles, California.
A live album titled Alive 1997 was released by Daft Punk in 2001, which featured the Que Club performance in Birmingham from November 8, 1997. The recording was selected by Daft Punk themselves for release, as they considered it to be their favorite from the Daftendirektour.
