Final gig in Shanghai








Off to Shanghai the next day. We're booked into the Live Bar, a small underground club that reminds Jasper of New York's Knitting Factory, with a crazy waitress called Tiny. Not much bigger than an average living room in Belgium, but the PA is okay and you feel this club is breathing out Music!

It's hot again in Shanghai and we play our 2 longest and sweatiest sets on the tour and have our friend Irina as a guest once more. Awesome final concert! Statistically, there is an overrepresentation of Belgian and beer drinking customers and Chinese harmonica players that night.

One more day left to visit the SWFC-observatory the next day, currently the highest building in the world, 492 meters. We stay on the highest floor during the twilight zone to see the lights of Shanghai being switched on and turn the city into an amazing postcard. Shanghai is such an impressive place. Last drinks in the Cotton Club, watching Sugarmama do her thing, do we really have to leave? Belgium is waiting, one long flight away...
