see you there thank you bro thank you crazy how you feeling after that egg oh the egg's fine right so basically on the train there was some hyp farm and they wanted to get pictures and I did pictures and then I think what happened is a lot of the other people on the train thought who's this famous guy we also want pictures so I did about 20 photos on the train and now we're in the station there's a lot of people looking like they're about to ask her a photo well um we've just been shooting something for YouTube for another video but it's time for us to get out of here we're in he where the festival is taking place let's go this is from the police by the way they're not going to pull me off basically they're saying if there's any I can't I'm not allowed to play any swear words in any of the music I'm not allowed to jump and rash is on the phone right now and I can hear the person from the festival in the background explaining it to him he just said it's ridiculous what's the point of the show I I need to I'm not editing my set I'm I'm on stage in 2 hours you can't just be like oh you're not allowed to play any swear words now but at the end of the day what they going they're not going to pull me off stage are they and if they do content content transition so big drama they're saying no swear words are allowed in a whole set and I'm on stage in an hour but I don't even get it bro like it's swearing in English we're in he in China if it was swearing in Mandarin then maybe that's offensive I don't know we're going to see what happens the start of my intro is just James Hy [ __ ] James Hy [ __ ] James hyp [ __ ] on a loop so that can't be censored um so we'll just see what happens if it's as dramatic as people are making out then we won't make it past 10 seconds into the intro so we'll find out straight away it's going to be great we're driving on the runway so I think this is a park that used to be an airport and they still got the runway there's Lo there people everywhere guys sending [Music] it you ready for the James high [ __ ] James [ __ ] James [ __ ] I just heard the crowd shot in Jame typ [ __ ] that is not allowed hold them one by one you got me bur you got me bur you got me burning you got me burning you got me burning burning burning got me bur with where are they what are they deef debrief debrief debrief debrief debrief debrief 9.5 it would have been a 10 but well we had all these rules didn't we I told you about some of them I wasn't allowed to play the [ __ ] and James hype [ __ ] I still did I tried to like filter some of them out so it's like I tried um good news we didn't get arrested um but also I was told to calm down while I was performing I mean come on mate like if you're going to B James hype you you've definitely seen videos of me performing you know what I do and then I turn up do what I do and get told to calm down is that what they said they asked you to tell me to calm down yes I didn't calm down but um yeah if it if it wasn't for all of that it would have been a 10 but the crowd were insane I love it I love Chinese crowds rash right it would have been a six but the fans were mental actually walked through the middle to the front of the house to come see Joe to turn down to his right there um so for that fact alone you got a nine so big up the fans his uh I'm going to go with a 8.5 it would have been up there for me but we' lost some of the outside wings of video like our second output of video uh yeah in like the last 25 30 minutes um and I think then with things like language bar made it really hard for to try and actually diagnose the issue and like I was outputting but yeah something happened clearly but uh I think it was sick it was crowds looked crazy um it was a really good show uh say 8.5 for me um I think the best thing was probably not smelling enough smoke when we got got off the stage but um no yeah the crowd was sick um everyone loved it and again people knowing your songs is just mad that so far away when apparently they don't have Instagram or YouTube or anything like that but still mad and and VPN is illegal yeah cappuccino um yeah W um I am going to say it's an eight um I thought the crowd were really sick james' set was really sick a bit Peak about not being able to play James high [ __ ] not jump on stage yeah a lot of rules um a lot of the in-house photographers weren't the friendliest so that made my night a bit bit long but it was good I think we got some sick content yeah and um yeah China is pretty mad China is mad China is mad you know what's crazy about this country we're in a city that we've never even heard of and it's bigger than London just let that sink in place is [ __ ] insane just so big when we flew into Shanghai I was like I just can't comprehend how big this place is it's so wild so yeah the crazy thing is he's asleep the the crazy thing is like not many Western people come to China as tourists but I feel like if they did they'd be like whoa China's crazy you know so yeah who does this transition go
