(2006-2007)

Daftendirektour was the first concert tour by French electronic music duo Daft Punk. For this tour Daft Punk opted to utilize their home studio equipment for the live stage. As Bangalter 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."

There is no tour date public appeared on video. Only a performance video of "Rollin' & Scratchin' can be seen on D.A.F.T.: A Story About Dogs, Androids, Firemen and Tomatoes where also elements of "Alive" it can be seen on Mayan Club performance in Los Angeles, California.

The elements that comes after "Revolution 909" is called "Pulsar" by the music duo Retro/Grade and after "Alive" comes "Can You Feel It" by Todd Terry.

A live album entitled Alive 1997 it was released in 2001, which featured the Que Club performance in Birmingham on November 8, 1997, was selected by Daft Punk themselves for release, as they considered it to be their favorite from their Daftendirektour.
