Fred again.. has shared his historic b2b set with Daft Punk‘s Thomas Bangalter, with the complete performance now streaming on YouTube. Watch the show below.
The last show of Fred’s already incredible USB002 tour, the Feb. 27 set at London’s Alexandra Palace marked Bangalter’s second public performance in 20 years, with the first one happening just months earlier when he performed side-by-side with Fred, Busy P and Erol Alkan at Because Music’s 20th anniversary celebration at Centre Pompidou in Paris.
Ending with a purely blissful play of Daft Punk’s 2000 all-timer “One More Time,” the two-hour All Pally show had everyone deep in their feels, and Fred especially.
Not only did the producer call the set “the greatest show of my life” near the end of the performance, but on Saturday (March 28) he commented about the show on Instagram, stating: “So I had a dream last week, and basically all it was, is I was 80, sat in a like a care home, and I kept saying to the nurses ‘just play it again pls.’ And I was just sat there watching the usb show with Thomas over and over again. And then I sat there being like ‘look that’s me! I’m there!’
“I usually have a rule that I don’t watch anything back,” the post continues. “I just do the thing, and then try to stay present and just sorta keep working on writing music, like I’ve still never watched our Glastonbury set. Or most things tbh, but yeah with this, I justtttt. Can’t. Stop. Probably because a lot of it isn’t my music, so it’s not subject to my usual very critical inner voice about stuff. Instead I’m just a fan more proud of a sort of human moment than anything else.
“Now I know in a way it sounds kinda morbid in some ways Buttt lemme tell you, one thing was very clear when I woke up. It was not a nightmare, it was definitely a dream.”
