Recorded at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy, an 18,000-capacity sports arena in Paris, on June 14th, 2007. The CD captures the exuberant multi-media spectacle of Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo’s first hometown show in 10 years in front of a capacity crowd of thrilled fans. This two-disc set is packaged as a bound book and contains an enhanced cd featuring five extra tracks from the show’s encore and 50 pages of photographs shot on tour.

Bonus content:
10-minute audio of the live encore: “Human” / “Together” / “One More Time (Reprise) / Music Sounds Better With You” / “Stardust (Instrumental)”
55-page booklet
Enhanced with the “Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger” live video

This to me is probably the best live cd I have heard. All the songs we know and love are mixed perfectly. Daft Punk really knows how to put on a show. I do believe that if you are new to daft punk you shouldn’t pick up this cd. The great part of this cd is to be surprised and see how well they mix the the songs. Knowing all these songs by heart and hearing them in a whole new way is what makes this cd amazing. If you are new to daft punk you may not see the greatness. For any Daft Punk fan do yourself a favor and buy this cd! (review by a fan from amazon.com)
