ELI5:What does Daft Punk actually do in a 'performance' on stage? I'm wondering what more they do than simply hit play on their songs.

I watched Daft Punk's performance at the Grammy's with Pharrell Williams and Stevie Wonder and was curious as to what the two guys actually control on their computers on stage. Does anybody know what they do specifically, or have experience doing a DJ performance like that themselves?

Some DJ's just press play, but other DJ's orchestrate, mix, cue and compose live - a feat that's no walk in the park. Nowadays, recent technological leaps mean that the degree to which a performance is pre-recorded really depends on the artist and what approach they've decided to take.
I know in the past daft punk has done a lot of difficult, time-sensitive live work, but that may have changed with their recent ascension to super stardom.
