Photos of a helmet-less Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, best known under their pseudonym Daft Punk, are rare. However, they do exist.

Daft Punk fan website DaftBootlegs has unearthed a collection of snapshots from the French pair’s inaugural tour in the mid-1990s. About 21 years ago, Guy and Thomas made history when they performed at events like Global Gathering, The Carros Festival, Heavenly Social, London After Midnight and Tribal Gathering. The nostalgic photos depict the duo performing in club and festival settings alike on classic gear like the TR-909.
