Alive 1997

Alive 1997 is the first live album by French electronic music duo Daft Punk, released on 1 October 2001 by Virgin Records.

John Bush of AllMusic noted how "radically different" the live versions of Daft Punk's tracks are compared to the originals, and that the release accurately captured the energy of the stage show.

[1] Fiona Reid of Hot Press felt that the audible audience enhanced the record, making it reminiscent to sound effects heard in Homework.

[3] Sputnikmusic also felt that it was superior to the duo's later live album Alive 2007, in particular highlighting the singular continuous flow of the 1997 performance.

[6] Q called Alive 1997 "45 minutes of breathless electronic excitement"[4] while Uncut wrote that it "has a shrill rawness that vividly captures a night of sweat-stained gymnastics".
