Seriously, if you weren&#8217;t sweating after this show you should see a doctor.  Electronic musicians Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo were stationed atop the massive techno-pyramid in their signature robot costumes.  From there they gave the dancin&#8217; faithful everything they wanted, and more.  It was my first time seeing <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Daft_punk\">Daft Punk<\/a> live, and I will definitely pursue them again.
