Daft Punk – Alive 1997 (CD)

Before *Alive 2007* became the benchmark live electronic album of its era, there was this: a raw, relentless document of Daft Punk in their earliest touring incarnation, playing to crowds who were still figuring out exactly what they were witnessing. The 1997 performances captured the duo at peak post-*Homework* momentum, before the pyramid, before the helmets became iconic, when the energy was urgent and the rooms were electric with something genuinely new.
