In case you were one of the very few who missed out on last Friday’s (July 2nd) Deadmau5 show at Soldier Field, our friends at RECTv have put together a visually-stunning highlight reel of the performance. Clearly not even close to being there in person, but you’ll get a good enough feel/vibe of the insanity.
http://www.vimeo.com/13164688It would have been that much better for Chicago to fully experience the new stage setup, but aside from the absent LED mau5head due to technical malfunction, thus prompting the use of many replacements, it was yet another wicked performance in line with all of Joel’s other shows this year. Regardless, he’ll be back soon enough and when he does, rest assured that the show will be bigger, better and technically flawless.
As an added bonus, we’re including an exclusive interview of deadmau5 by the UK Guardian’s, Paul Morley. Love the part where Joel talks about how he never wants to be typecast and tied down to a specific genre of music…
(We opted not to feature the full article follow-up by Morley as it was just a bunch of unjustified slander most likely stemmed from being lost in translation)
phives
Thanks for putting the Morley interview with this, I had seen the REC TV video a number of times but not this interview.
I read the article you’re referring to (http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/may/28/deadmau5) and was also unclear why he seemed so upset the interview didn’t include a full display of the mau5head. The interview turned out great, is it that surprising Zimmerman wouldn’t give a full view of the mau5head technology or let him wear it? The article makes Morley come off like an entitled snobish critic.
Private to Zimmerman: please do a show in Portland, Oregon.
