Alive 2007

Daft Punk's Alive 2007 is the French-duo's second live release (last one being Alive 1997 - a decade thing), and was recorded in Paris, where they kicked off their world tour. It features a good mix of their tracks but is limited to them - as with any DJ, I would have loved to hear Daft Punk mix with songs other than their own.

Track listing

  1. "Robot Rock" / "Oh Yeah"
  2. "Touch It" / "Technologic"
  3. "Television Rules the Nation" / "Crescendolls"
  4. "Too Long" / "Steam Machine"
  5. "Around the World" / "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger"
  6. "Burnin'" / "Too Long"
  7. "Face to Face" / "Short Circuit"
  8. "One More Time" / "Aerodynamic"
  9. "Aerodynamic Beats" / "Forget About the World"
  10. "The Prime Time of Your Life" / "The Brainwasher" / "Rollin' & Scratchin'" / "Alive"
  11. "Da Funk" / "Daftendirekt"
  12. "Superheroes" / "Human After All" / "Rock'n Roll"
The Deluxe Edition comes with an extra disc that has a video and possibly the best song on the whole album, the show's Encore ( Human After All/ Together/ One More Time (reprise)/ Music Sounds Better with You).
