Saw deadmau5 last night at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver. For those that dont know who\what deadmau5 is (I didnt until a couple of months ago):
Joel Thomas Zimmerman (born January 5, 1981), better known by his stage name Deadmau5 (stylized as deadmau5; pronounced "dead mouse"), is a Canadian progressive house and electro house producer based in Toronto, Ontario
This was a DJ\house\neo-trance show that started at 7PM DJ Sir Thomas, DJ Skirllex @ 9PM, and deadmau5 at 10:30. When I got there, around 8PM, the venue was pretty empty and slowly filled in; by the time deadmau5 came on it was probably 70% full and might have been close to capacity by 11ish. Skirllex was good and got the crowd going, I was hanging out in the balcony people watching, but the main act put on a major show! The setup was a wall of LED and other nights with the center piece being a ~12 cube pointed out into the crowd with the three sides made up of LEDs. During his set deadmau5 would control the lights, video, etc on the wall and cube. Its hard to guess at the months of work it took to get the samples, colors, lights, videos, & graphics all programmed in and pull off such a great production.
By the time deadmau5 came on I had moved to the center of the floor, right in front of the sound board with the railing right behind me. So I had one of the best sounding spots with a great view and nobody behind me, pretty hard to beat. During the show there were 4-8 women dancing around me, I was dancing amongst them have a great time. The crowd was mostly in their late teens to early 20s, it was 16+ show, but there were plenty of people my age their also. I was dressed all in black, industrial/goth look, and put in my demon contacts (all black iris with a red rink on the outside) just to freak people out some. I stayed in this spot during the whole show, as did a few women that I shared some grooving time with. Glad I went to the show, very different style of music then any others Ive been to in a while and I get to see deadmau5 again later this month in New Orleans at Voodoo Music Festival.
Lots of pics on his Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/deadmau5
