"That song doesn't usually last 3 hours! But we got into a serious thing! And then I forgot how it ended..." -Beck from Futurama

[@Blueskies2513]

I love futurama

[@prettyvacant3605]

Thank you for reminding me of that!

[@jasonwaltman3566]

What makes it such a great performance is that he has absolutely no f***s to give about acting the fool. He's gonna have fun and no matter how uptight the audience is they can't help but get sucked up by the energy.

[@homeownerwithacombover]

Yeah, Bowie used to phone it in by comparison.

[@allenthompson5584]

Perfect

I never suspected he'd hit it this hard!

[@lorenmars8181]

Beck is a robot doing "The Human." The Master of Molding Frequencies. The God of the Auditory Range.

[@dawsonwelsh6639]

yeah that sort of makes sense

[@Fig8907]

This is the best comment I’ve ever seen.

[@TonySnarf]

Dont analyse it, Just sit back and enjoy.. the man's a genius! Saw him live shortly after this.. to this day the best live show i've seen..

[@StephenDoty84]

Odd that you don't want others to analyze it. What do you care? He applied cologne while doing the robot -- it's fun to analyze that.

[@landonpoindexter114]

@@StephenDoty84 shut up and do what you’re told

[@NicholasZustak]

He's one of the best live performers out there

[@dauwg99]

I saw him open for RHCP and I was more impressed by Beck lol

[@BLACULA-Skeewoah]

The last time I saw him was here in Ireland, he headlined our biggest festival and played a 3 hour 15 minute set, including a 20 minute version of this... Out of the 750+ acts I've seen live/worked at over the last 14 years; he's one of the all time greatest!

[@blkmanbat]

That Dude Had it Going ON!!!!! Over 10 minutes of "Where It's at"...... F-ing Amazing!!!

[@DustinRodriguez1_0]

I saw Beck live in 1998. To this day it is still the best concert I've been to in my life. Beck is unreal as a showman. He just never stops, it's amazing!

[@catha.j.stuart2200]

He's still great! Saw him do his acoustic set in Sydney last year, it was awesome

[@VandergriftMoefies]

This is one of the best performances I've ever seen... by any artist! Damm I love Beck! Still above me how he hasn't gone down as one of the greats.

[@DexterHaven]

This is what they mean by the term "front man" for the band. Great showman.

[@SirHatchporch]

Not only is this my favorite version of "Where It's At," it's also my favorite Beck recording, period. If you don't have it, get your hands on the "Make Out City" bootleg, which has the entire show in excellent sound quality.

[@s1ap812]

any tips on where to pick this up?

[@neckermanncj]

I've seriously watched this whole thing 10 times already!

[@JPNYCv1]

The 1990s, from start to finish, was one hell of a decade for every genre of music. Beck had his niche and his Odelay Album was phenomenal!

[@cainjenkins6654]

Went from amazing loved 90s white rapper with rock added in to famous alternative rock. To beautiful and funky jazz and to orchestral beautiful deep songs and to this day is my favorite musician

[@101enj]

Cain Jenkins ABSOLUTELY WELL SAID! THANKS FOR THE AWESOME COMMENT!

[@DexterHaven]

+Cain Jenkins I like how Beck is the eccentric, underdog everyman. If you saw Adam Lambert and Beck in high school, you could see how Lambert could make it. Beck would make me wonder...

[@beauwilliamson6211]

He is quite amazing

[@Buggsucksatvideogames]

Beck is a straight up legend, how he's not one of the most famous performers ever is completely beyond me.

[@omgilovedischannel]

That was probably the greatest thing I've ever seen Beck do! Been a fan since Mellow Gold.

I ran the lightboard for this show. He was so fun and hit it hard!!

Beck y su banda: groove, elegancia y apisonadora a la vez en una actuación que te arrastra hasta el final.. y son 10 minutos!

Beck is channeling the spirit of Curtis Mayfield and James Brown and his supreme hillbilly badass funk ROCKED the PLANET!!!!!! 2 weeks until I see him LIVE...Lord have Mercy.

[@SlantedLand]

I seen this guy and his ensemble live twice, like twenty years apart. Respect to the master of grooves and whimsy.

[@dskywalker3397]

Nice.

[@shimtest]

he busts a move the whole tune

[@StephenDoty84]

And the crowd was against him at the start and stiff -- he had to win them over. That's even more impressive. "I know you wanna represent..." ;)

Thanks for uploading this. This is not only my favorite version of this song, it's probably my favorite Beck "song" and one of my favorite performances of all time.

[@jaredneedsalife]

Te best musician of the last 15 years , I'll second that. Odelay is 12 years old and sounds as fresh and cutting edge today as it ever did. Beck is an artistic giant albeit a very postmodern one and in my mind he, in terms of merit, keeps the company of Dylan, Van Morrison, Cohen, Lou Reed, Bowie . Sea Change showed he had depth in his songwriting and playing outside of studio based genre blending genius that is his trademark.The Information is a complex landmark record well ahead of its time
