DAFT PUNK
Alive 1997 (Virgin)
Reviewed by Jason Thornberry

While I loved 2001's Discovery" I question the relevance of this live CD, seemingly a toss off recorded live on what appears to be a DAT recorder at a gig. This is like playing any of their first music at an outdoor barbecue or birthday party, and recording it all on a high quality boom box. It's all one long (45:31) track too.

Trust me, if you have 1997's Homework or the new album, then you have an adequate amount of tunage by these guys. Wait for them to go back into the studio, and save your money. They can't be that broke already.

GRADE: C-.
