14 DAY TRIAL // Daft Punk, aka Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, cleaned up the 2014 Grammy Awards last night, scooping up 4 of the much coveted statuettes. They also helped deliver one of the most amazing and memorable performances of the night.
However, as you can see in the video above, they had some help with that. For a live rendition of the most infectious song of 2013, “Get Lucky,” with Pharrell Williams, they didn’t just bring Pharrell up on stage, but also legendary musicians Stevie Wonder and Nile Rodgers.
The result, a showstopping number, can be found in full and in HD in the video embedded above.
The entire audience was up on their feet as these fantastic performers did their thing and, no, it wasn’t just because they were in awe of Pharrell’s hat, which he seemed to have lifted from a park ranger.
Even Yoko Ono was dancing her shoes off and she seemed to be investing even more energy into it than she did when Ringo Starr and Paul McCartney performed as part of the much mediated Beatles reunion. Just saying.
Daft Punk and Pharrell won the Grammy for Best Pop Duo / Group Performance with “Get Lucky,” and Best Dance / Electronica Album for “Random Access Memories.”
