Deadmau5 - The O2 - 14 december

Carl Sagan

Was on the barrier right in between the cube and dj set ups until after deadmau5's first song. The amount of arseholes at that gig was crazy. So many fights and people acting like ****ing hardmen.

Was a great gig though! Got a kick in the face from Aoki.

Insane night, feltthe crowd were young, but everyone was mainly sound out! Cept for a few eejits, it seemed like everyone went to just enjoy themselves.

Who gives a S*** howsomeone is dancing, I kno for a fact that I wasn't dancing just so I looked like I was brill.. Just doing my thing like :P

True, most people didn't know how to dance to dubstep, was cringe.

Was a shame that the closer you got the more topless skangers there were.

There's etiquette for dancing to dubstep?!
Get real :rolleyes:

Professional Griefer

Some of the people there didn't know any of the songs, it was hilarious watching em.

Looking at the people on drugs doing the typical swirly hands thing looking at nothing.

At one stage during calvin harris some guy shat himself:eek: it was nasty

Probably the best night of my life. Managed to get right up the front, which I kind of regretted later because I couldn't see the mau5 head at all Steve Aoki was brilliant as usual, was delighted he played his Pursuit of Happiness remix. First time seeing Calvin Harris do a DJ set, and was pleasantly surprised at some of the songs he played. As for Deadmau5, words cannot do justice to the show that man puts on. The visuals are amazing and I don't know how he's going to top that. The only thing that is still pi**sing me off was the state of the crowd. It felt like I was at an underage disco with people swinging their tops around their heads, chanting 'woop there it is' and being surrounded by scumbags. I think every single time I looked back there was always a fight happening. Granted, I know there were people there to see Deadmau5 play but I just got the impression that the majority of the people there couldn't name three of his songs if you asked, and thought the gig was too good of an opportunity to get together a pop a few yokes. Rant over...

Jesus, as soon as i got on the dart and seen the amount of f**king kids roaring randomly at the top of there voices i knew what way the crowd was gonna be.

Bunch of drunk messy kids going to "The Rave" as they like to call it. Hadnt seen anyone i could think was over 18.

Was there with just one mate of mine. In the place 5 mins and some fat kid about 16/17 puts his head up to me, so i digged the cnut in the jaw, when him and about 5 mates legged it.

Calvin & Deadmau5 were so so, yeh he tried to get a bit of dubstep in cause its popular now, but went totally over the heads of 99% of the crowd.

When i got tickets yesterday i totally looked over the fact it wasnt over 18s. Really does ruin the night. Never goin to a gig that allows under 18s in again.

Yeah was a really great show, loved his set and thought the dubstep track (Raise Your Weapon) went down really well. It was certainly full of scumbags and annoying kids, though there were plenty of grand people there too in fairness. Agreed it's a pity it wasn't over 18s.

I really can't believe how big he's gotten over the last year or so. I mean I saw him in the UCD student bar last year followed by a sold out o2 this year, fair play to him!

If more people were on yokes last night there would have been less fights!

You know what I mean

I got a dig off a young one out of nowhere! Didn't know what to do. I clenched my fist but then my morals kicked in and I just pushed her away. Crowd was full of scumbags. Amazing night tho. Mau5s set was amazing and Aoki was class.

Liathroidi Dana

Difference between Scumbags and Young People... I'm sure give or take the age limit, there would be scumbags, maybe not of the same magnitude but still.

Carl Sagan

In fairness, the under 18 looking people weren't much of a problem. They were just a bit annoying. It was mostly the scummers around that made the crowd a bit ****, and they looked over 18.

Anyone been to one of his shows over seas? I wonder if it'd be the same?

df1985

I know people going to his show this weekend in London and theyre all well into their 20's although overall id say shows in the UK would be the same if they werent over 18's.

seen him in ibiza but cant compare that to here.

Charlie Haughy

Was a pretty good gig yeah, Strobe was epic! More scumbags at it though than at his oxegen 09 gig, but he wasnt as big then I suppose...

Thought Aoki was better at oxegen though! Whats with all the talk about the dubstep track in this thread? Are the irish crowd that new to dubstep??? It wasn't all that good anyway! Try a Doctor P or Benga gig for some top dubstep.... even pendulum's dj sets are about 50% dubstep now.

And about the way people were dancing.... if your watching and criticising peoples dancing, then your doing it wrong :rolleyes:

I couldn't care less about how people are dancing and dont see why others do...

Caliden

Does anyone know where I could find good quality pictures from the gig?

Also if there is somewhere I could download deadmau5's entire live set?

mau5's set was unreal !!!!! and aoiki was great aswell , i hate calvin harris i think he's a twat but still an ok dj

Dicksboro_man

why dont u like calvin???

just wanna agree with the lads above, it was fair funny to watch people not being able to move to dubstep but u ve gotta understand that not everyone listens to it and making fun of people because of the way they dance is the last thing u should be doing at a gig.

Enjoyed the gig very much but felt my age - a whopping 25!

The crowd looked fairly fresh as we were walking in too.
Saw one lad hop off a bus with a cig in his mouth and he looked about 12.

Mahogany

Wow that was some night.

I found everyone there to be pretty sound, I was expecting a scumfest aswell !

Hope he comes back soon.

Rizzla King

Anyone know the name of the last tune/melody he played or was it just a sequence he put together on the spot?

Delighted he played that unreleased tune he was playing on his ustream aswell before

Maybe Animal Rights was after this?

johnny_adidas

i think having to dodge the shoe/glowstick caused him to play this longer than expected
I had made my way to the front for the encore and was beside the little asshole who threw it.
I quickly 'pointed out' that the 12k odd people wouldnt take too kindly if he walked off stage there & then
