Review: Excellent deadmau5 Concert Tour DVD. - I'm a deadmau5 fan and have been ever since first hearing him on my XM car radio about three years ago. I've purchased and reviewed all his major albums (Random Album Title, For Lack of a Better Name, 4X4=12). In my opinion, Joel Zimmerman (aka, deadmau5) is a virtuoso musician whose choice of instrument is the computer. He's won major awards and if you wonder how such a young artist (about 30) can do such a thing, just give one of his albums (especially For Lack of a Better Name) a listen and you'll understand. In reviewing one of his albums, I mentioned that I had never attended an electronic music concert and probably wouldn't do so in that I was 75 and such concert audiences were dominated by 20 and 30 somethings. My walker would interfere with all the dancers (just a little joke, folks). But, to be more serious, it's a music of young people and very few 70s people would even be listening, let alone attending a deadmau5 concert. Well, excellent music is excellent music and the age of the listener has nothing to do with it, giving a willingness to listen. Young people are more willing to listen and enjoy. One of my readers sent me a note to the effect that deadmau5 was appearing in San Diego at Soma (a local night spot). I looked it up and tickets were available. I sought out a companion, but then the concert was cancelled. Later, I found that it had just been moved to Petco Park, the baseball stadium for the San Diego Padres. I considered it, but decided I didn't want to attended a concert in a baseball stadium. Alas, I understand I missed an excellent concert. Just recently, I discovered that deadmau5 had an available DVD of the "Meowingtons Hax 2kll Concert in Toronto." I had to have it! The DVD arrived yesterday and provided the evening's entertainment. The concert was excellent to watch and listen to. It was a long concert and had 25 selections. I immediately recognized about half and they were shortened versions of his stuff available on the CD albums. The songs were seamed together such that it was an almost continuous stream of music. The ecstatic fans raised their hands and swayed, pumped their fists and bobbed their heads. Joyous smiles were everywhere. The concert was held in a cavernous auditorium and I can't even estimate how many people were there, but it must have been well over 10K. An impressive light show and video display accompanied the music and added to the viewing pleasure. The concert-hall acoustics were reasonably good, but added a little "flavor" to the music. For a purer listening experience for deadmau5 music, I'd suggest going to the albums. However, the DVD added the live concert feeling and that made the experience worth-while in that sense, It was a long concert and the audience held up well and begged for more at the end. If your a deadmau5 fan, you've just got to view this wonderful DVD concert experience. I give it my highest recommendation! Gary Peterson Review: Deadmau5 on DVD is superb - First the negative of the disc itself: it is DVD format and not Bluray. Bluray would have been an epic release format. The positives of the disc: for a DVD format, the image is among the best DVD images I have seen. It is on par with Superbit releases. The audio also is outstanding. The format is Dolby Digital in 5.1 and the mix is superb through the majority of the show. The show itself was fantastic. If you are a Deadmau5 fan, then this is a must own title. Where the show is concerned, I thought that they could have mixed up the camera angles - near the end of the show, the fans lucky enough to be filmed repeatedly were running out of steam. Also, I think the addition of gogo dancers on the edges of the floor space would have made for even more fan energy.
