Writer's Block: Best. Concert. Ever.

Daft Punk at Wireless 2007 in Hyde Park, London.

Still gives me shivers - amazing music and lightshow, Daft Punk celebrating by mashing up 10 years of hits and a gob-smacking encore.

Second but not for a long way is Peaches in 2002 at Popstarz in London, 100 people, going mad, pre-fame (Set It Out had only been out for a short while) and she rocked and a friend got fake blood on him!

BTW Here's my only good pic of the DP lightshow:

I remember your DP post from last summer. Daft Punk Coachella 2006 was my best!

I have a couple mp3's from the concert and it sounded amazing.

I didn't know there was any MP3s from Hyde Park? Sure you don't mean Coachella or the Alive CD?

Bastard. I hate you because you saw them live.

Funny how I was at both these gigs you mention and only nearly had half as much of a good time you did.

Daft Punk, well, it was coming down to the end of what was a wild weekend and well, I wasn't into it at the time but I can't say they were rubbish cause the light show was something else and some of the intepretations of the songs were great.

Peaches decided she wasn't coming on til midnight and well, I have public transport to ride before then and work the next day. Actually left without seeing her.

You missed a good gig with Peaches - my best til Daft Punk.

Shame you didn't get into Daft Punk, there have been rock & normal gigs that have left me totally unwowed...although that's rare cos I tend to go to bands I do like, or festival/multiple lineups so there's usually something I like.

The only disappointment from last year was LCD Soundsystem (very poor, doesn't work at a festival) and not getting to see Simian Mobile Disco...

I was bored shitless during LCD. If you ask me, the whole thing at Wireless that was amazing was Faithless with a tied close second from The Editors and Mark Ronson.

Best gig ever - still - til the day - The Prodigy, Brixton Academt, March 1995 - that fucking gig changed my life.
