DJ SHadow came out at the start of the show and greeted everyone and thanked everyone for joining him, he explained that he was not a DJ that merely hits play and waves his arm in the air, he's a producer and a beat maestro, with exceptional disc skills to boot!

He then went in behind this large white globe and then the show began and what a show indeed. the 3d visuals on the globe and the backdrop were jaw dropping, and the sphere turned into every thing from a baseball, basketball to the death star and a snow globe and countless other things. Complementing the visuals was and amazing display of DJ prowess, remixing in elements from all albums, most notably Endtroducing and Private Press, but he chopped scratched and twisted all those tracks into glorious new renditions, ranging from hip hop grooves, to DnB, dubstep, classical, jazz and every thing inbetween, he also play trigger beats on pads with his hands and drumsticks to jam along with his creations. This was an amazing show for all fans of electronic and hip hop, no one left disappointed, and I'd be only to happy to go back for a second helping should he land in Aotearoa for a fourth time. 5 stars *****

Truly an unforgettable experience!
Reminds us that DJing is not about pop music, top 10s and simple club dance music but an art form!
His shadowsphere only added to the epicness of the night which was full of sounds and feelings communicable only by a few talented geniuses that continue to inspire me.
A living legend and a most courteous performer who knows how to greet his crowd despite his jet lag!
Cannot wait till his next visit back to NZ!!

I brought these tickets on a bit of a whim. What a good decision. DJ Shadow was amazing. His mixing and scratching was incredible. The light show that accompanied his pod was unreal.

I arrived a littel late to the gig and the cool Shadow beats were already flowing over a packed powerstation audience who were slowly bopping and swaying, never taking their intrigued eyes off the huge Orb that seemed to be floating and spinning in the centre of stage with beautifully clear and breathtaking visuals floating and spinning on the Orb itself as well the huge screen behind.

Suddenly the orb spun and there is our Dj Shadow inside with his decks and other music making paraphrenalia. Crowd cheers and he delves into more delicious beats.

From old to new, Shadow played some great sounds, even when he was "just fucking with" us- the crowd loved it, and I'm sure would've been happy for a lot more of his off the cuff creativity and playing around.

Just as the audience seemed to really be melting into the eclectic beats, Shadow thanks us and exited his 'shadow'. Credits rolled over the orb and Dj Shadow thanked us and left stage.

The lights came up and everyone stood around looking slightly confused, especially when we all realised it was barely 12am. Too short. Surely?

Cool beats but overall i felt like it hadn't even really scratched the surface.

It was a great show but I was unimpressed by how short it was. DJ Shadow came on at 9.30pm and was finished at 11.00pm. There didn't seem to be any support act either so found the whole thing a little bit expensive for what it was!

I wasnt sure what he could bring to the table after all these years, but that man blew my fricken mind! in the second half in particular...

The way in which he combined the visuals to create this crazy film experience, and had complete control over the crowd, and their emotions, he broke new ground, and I felt lucky to have witnessed it.

It was unexpectedly heavy on the drum and bass front, which was a pleasant surprise, as I felt It was an example of what was missing at all those same old DnB parties as time has gone on, I was wondering where electronic music could go, but this man proved there is still a bit of life left! He is in a league of his own!
