Shanghaiist came out with its review of the DJ Shadow show in Shanghai and their assessment was the exact same as mine:
"So one of the world's best DJ's came to China this weekend and where did he choose to play... Richy, one of the worst places on earth unless you happen to be a gangster, a 15 year old Shanghainese girl, a strange man that likes rubbing people's legs while they dance (this happened to us the last time we went there) or an Edison Chen wannabe. As for the show Shadow played an amazing set (the best we've ever heard him play... he dropped Organ Donor about 5 minutes into his set) but the crowd was just confused. Hipsters and Puxi trendies clashed with Chivas and green tea drinking dice players for space in ridiculously over crowded club. Richy completely over sold the tickets to a dangerous level and the bouncers were really aggressive in dealing with everything from taking photos to drawing on the posters outside the club."
For a glimpse of Shadow at his finest, check out the Organ Donor video on YouTube. Fine stuff. Yo Shadow, next time play the Shelter!
