:: following up on Jon’s post yesterday about the José González’s show at the Shanghai Children’s Art Theatre, I went to his second performance in Shanghai last night at Glamour Bar. José again put on a great show, with an intimate stage arrangement that allowed for everyone to get up close. One highlight of the night was José showing off his Chinese and saying “牛逼!” (niu bi) to the crowd, something he must have picked up in Beijing a couple nights earlier. Below is a video I took on my phone of “Teardrop,” his last song of the night. Again, kudos to and his team at Split Works for bringing José to China. // SL

牛逼 taught to Jose minutes before the show by our very own Abe Deyo. Nice touch by Jose.
My highlight was the Aussie guy shouting “would you please all shut the f*ck up” to all the rude, braying bar-rats. Why come to the show if you’re just going to laugh and shout your way through it….??

Hah. Leave it to Abe. My highlight was that guy at the end at Shelter, Mr. MBA Keeping It Real.
Hope the 9am lobby call wasn’t too painful — safe travels to you and the boys. (You’re off to HK too, yeah?)
And hats off to you, Claire, and the Spli-t team. Thanks again!
