Deadmau5 Live @ UBC Thunderbirds Arena

by Jordan McGarry on October 14, 2009

Currently: Forcing myself to stop playing Uncharted 2 and write a quick blog post before I go and read for 3 hours straight.

So, if you read earlier, I went to Deadmau5’s (pronounced “Deadmouse”) concert at Thunderbird Arena, a week and a half ago. Just thought I would give you all a brief description of how amazing this man is. He comes from Toronto, and is now rated one of the world’s top ten DJs. He doesn’t use the traditional Turntable and Mixer set up, instead he uses a really unique system. I’m not sure how it works exactly, but it’s a lot different that what most DJs use, and it gives him so much more freedom. No two performances are alike, their all different because of it. The best thing about him, is that he comes out in every performance with a Mau5 (Mouse) head.

There he is, standing with all his awesomeness. The night he was here, playing at Thunderbirds Arena, had a 3 hour set. 8:00pm to 11:00pm was the Timeslot where I was literally in heaven. The lighting rig had a giant “Mouse” head as the rig above him, with spot lights coming from the side. It wasn’t the best lighting rig, and I wasn’t necessarily impressed. If you want to see some videos of that night, there’s one in an earlier post (2 down from this one) and here’s another one:

Alright, time to go read! Search Deadmau5!! (7:00min in the video two posts down is the highlight of the night)

Haha, that is awesome, except the video is unavailable to me (and probably others.)
