I Just got home from the shanghai concert and yes the bass player was missing. Brandon and Mike played a softer set which had a lot more of a personal feel and this was also due to the small venue and proximity to the band (My 600rmb ticket landed me in the 4th row). I really dug the acoustic sound and brandon was fantastic live!!!! I'd pay double to see them live again in shanghai with the full group going at it hard but on this occasion it was great. Tracklist was quite good, although myself and a few around me were a bit bummed that Megalomaniac was not played! and i personally would have loved to have heard Dig but i enjoyed everything else all the same. Great concert guys.
