So was it really worth sitting up on the lawns, on a freezing cold night while planning to steal the blankets of the people sitting infront of me? Definitely. Beck not only puts on a concert, it's more like play. Complete with extravagant stages and lighting.
So where to begin, he played most of Odelay, with a few songs from Mellow Gold, and a hint of his other more folk albums. His set was complete with his trademark harmonica solos during various songs. He revealed a numerous of influences in his music, from folk to rap often in a single song; that's what makes him so incredible to see live.
The most memorable song of the night was "Where It's At", in which he had his most interaction with the audience. At his "signal" we were supposed to simultaneously yell "where it's at", but of course, nobody caught the signal since they were to wrapped up in watching Beck.
Another honourable mention for the night would be the DJ who spun for Beck in a few songs. He had his own set lasting no more than 15 minutes. That time was used successfully to show off his absolutely amazing talent for spinning. This included some very flashy behind the back record changes and scratching to the melodies of rock songs by bands like Deep Purple and AC/DC.
One disappointment, Beck didn't perform "High Five", which is even more fabulous live than it is on the CD.. oh well, can't have everything I guess.
