'l DAH'PIIIIK K18- (1997) 1997 was the very first year of the Slam Tent and it was also the year that Daft Punk became million selling artists. They haven't IOured live Since but no one who was lucky enough to see them Will forget their appearances. The tent was treated to a rare and unbelievably funky cover of Lil' Lows' seminal Chicago jacking monster.

year and it may not be Surpassed in the effect it can have on the crowd. In 1999 Jeff came and blew everyone else out of the water with his Saturday closing set. The whole thing was
