The Daftendirektour was Daft Punk's first live tour that started in the June of 1997 and then ended in the December of 1997.
History
For this tour, Daft Punk used their home studio equipment for the live stage. As Thomas Bangalter of the duo stated, "Everything was synched up, the drum machines, the bass lines. The sequencer was just sending out the tempos and controlling the beats and bars. On top of this structure we built all these layers of samples and various parts that we could bring in whenever we wanted to". Unfortunately, little video footage of said tour has been released, the only well known footage was on D.A.F.T.: A Story About Dogs, Androids, Firemen and Tomatoes, which consisted of 8 different camera angles of Daft Punk preforming at the Mayan Theatre in Los Angeles on the 17th of December 1997. The only other officially released recording of said tour was the album Alive 1997, which was first released on the Daft Club website in early 2001.
