Shanghai Police Pull Plug On Fatboy 7/12/2001
Fatboy Slim had an unforgettable gig in Shanghai at the Typhoon club on Wednesday night. This was Norman Cook's (Fatboy Slim) first DJing excursion to China and was part of a six date tour of the Far East.
He worked the crowd into such a frenzy organisers got worried because the floor was vibrating so much. The gig was stopped after Fatboy Slim had played for only one and a half hours and the police hustled him off the decks.
Police then ordered promoters to play slow romantic music to calm the crowd down (not a noted part of any Fatboy Slim set!). Fatboy Slim managed to get back on for a 15 minute encore, then the lights were turned on and people were ushered out of the venue.
(I got this from the fatboy slim site, anyone have similar stories?)
