Interstellar started great, but they seemed to want to play the most repetitive daft punk songs. It was a weird set list, they played "one more time" early and then you had to wait through a bunch of "filler" daft punk songs. I had seen them before at the old metro gallery, and this was much better. But I have also seen daft punk live a few times and I think it just works better with synths and djs, although i have much respect for the musicianship with the horns.

but it wasnt filler daft punk songs.... they were playing the discovery album in order. also following the movie insterstella 5555 which is where their name came from i am guessing? it prolly would have made more sense if the movie was also playing while they played.

They were good at what they do but i do agree booking a more high energy band might be more fun.

They 100% needed visuals and stage production.

They played the entire Discovery album song by song in order, and each song in its entirety. Too true to the source imo. A lot of the songs are not conducive to the live show they did. Also the acoustics of the venue and the poor sound engineering didn’t do them any favors

Daft Punk would probably agree that a band performing their album in order at a party is a pretty weird set list.

The lack of enthusiasm in the crowd for many of the songs they played was proof enough that the set list was a miss.
