Alive 2007 was a concert tour that took Daft Punk across the globe and was met with critical acclaim for its combination of music and sensory overload light shows. It included a headline show at Scottish festival RockNess in June, 2007 that Flip Realty recalls in the description.
The YouTube user wrote: “A few years back I recreated this stage while learning the Unity SDK for Vinyl Reality. I decided to then also use the stage to do a full show where I had to DJ Daft Punk's full set behind the stage as well as control the cameras. Thank you for the memories of RockNess Festival 2007 Daft Punk.”
