BECK IN CONCERT:
Alt-rock icon and master of reinvention Beck made a return to form of sorts in 2014 with Morning Phase, a companion album to 2002's beloved Sea Change. Eschewing the irony and sampling featured prominently in many of his other outings, Beck's latest is awash with earnest optimism and acoustic instrumentation — the result is a lush, organic, emotionally charged tour de force that comes across as beautifully in live concert as it does on record. Backed by a full band, Beck hits the road in 2014 for the Morning Phase tour, which includes a much-anticipated appearance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, CA.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Beck moved to New York in 1989 and cut his teeth in the city's anti-folk scene before returning to Los Angeles in 1991. In 1993, his limited-release single "Loser" became a surprise college radio favorite, eventually growing into a mainstream Top 10 hit and garnering him a flood of label offers. Signing with Geffen Records, he released Mellow Gold in 1994, launching to both critical and commercial success virtually overnight. 1996 follow-up Odelay would prove even more successful, spawning three hit singles and taking home several Grammys, including Best Alternative Music Album. In the ensuing years, Beck's creativity and fearless experimentation have made him one of pop music's most idiosyncratic talents — the acclaimed 2014 release of Morning Phase, his twelfth studio album, proved that he's just as vital today as he was 20 years ago.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Beck was ridiculously amazing. If you get a chance to catch him live, do it while you can. He is a true showman and should not be missed."
"As usual Beck put on an amazing performance. He played a few songs from each album (including the reader), and he played every last one spectacularly."
"He plays a mix of his old & new material, both acoustic & electric, he breaks out the harmonica, then plays a cover of Billie Jean. What!?! I only wish it could have gone on all night long."
Beck was phenomenal and Phoenix was also amazing! Best show of the year!
He’s fabulous!!! I wish he would perform in St.Louis……
This was my first Beck show and he delivered! Despite of the 3 digit temperatures we were experiencing in Texas , Beck's energy and performance was unstoppable! The band was tight ! The multimedia stage backdrop was enhancing , fun and colorful ! I enjoyed the set list immensely! It was a good mix of Beck's music catalog ! I will definitely see Beck again!
This is the 4th time seeing Beck. Each time has been amazing. Each time is something unique. This time was the Summer Odessey tour, so we got all our favorites, plus the recent collaboration with Phoenix. It was an amazing show.
Great show. The stage was unique and entertaining and the band sounded great.
Beck puts on an incredible show. I’ve seen him perform three times, and I’ve never been disappointed. I love the way he incorporates his opening bands throughout the performance. His visuals are spectacular. He’s a top notch performer. It was especially cool to see him play with musicians that recorded and toured with him years ago. His set was tight. I absolutely would see him again.
Excellent venue and as always he puts on a great show. We had a great time and were accompanied by our kids so that was even more fun!
This was the best concert I have ever been to! Everything about it was spectacular. The sound, songs, art, musicians were all incredible. Beck was mesmerizing! His voice is so so beautiful! He was cool, sexy and brilliant! It was a very tight show. All the feels! Fun, loud, California beach vibes along with hardcore rock & roll plus melodic songs from “Sea Change”. Funky songs from “Modern Guilt”. I was lucky enough to see him in Austin, Chicago, and DC. I cannot wait for his next tour!
Both Beck & Phoenix put on amazing performances!!! Very impressed with both!!
Fantastic show. Beck's combination of mediums, from the music to the stage to the laser show, is so impressive. He takes us on a different trip every time, and I'll gladly go again soon.
