"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

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]

The man is an entertainer! I've loved him since I was a teenager. It's been a long time.❤

Now THAT is a performance! Beck's the man!

[@StephenDoty84]

Yeah, Bowie used to phone it in by comparison.

[@allenthompson5584]

Perfect

[@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.

[@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?

[@StephenDoty84]

I never suspected he'd hit it this hard!

[@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]

[@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!

[@MrMofo80]

This is literaly one of the best videos on YT... u cant get more funkier, sexier, more weird and cool than this!

[@badder27com]

What a performer

[@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

[@DexterHaven]

7:14 Best line for me: "Betcha didn't know we were gonna hit is so hard!" ;) Honorable mention: 8:05 "Im rockin buffet tables and record labels... I'm rockin cheap whores and town cars."

[@diogopaiva6662]

[@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!

[@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.

[@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

[@wjcolclasure]

I think he may the best American artist of his generation...and he has been for the past 20 years.

[@ArthurShedsJackson]

Just saw Beck at Red Rocks Colorado last month. Dude was "off-the-charts" Great show!

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...

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

[@Wavelength247]

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.

You know when the keyboardist has gloves on that the performance grooves

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

[@BrixSnBs]

This is what live perfomance is all about.. i did not expect that

[@lifeisthemeaning]

He's even a better dancer than Beyonce.

[@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..." ;)

[@devonharrison9951]

Damn!!!! This live version is awesome!! They sound so much heavier in person

[@MrRufioooo]

Just wow.... where are you Beck? Please come back and be our All Father. The World needs your talent. And here i was sitting thinking The Dust Brothers made Odelay outrageously amazing. NOOOOT

@TairyGreen89 Yes. Yes I AM twelve. And yes, Beck is one of my favorite artists and I could not care less about what the music industry is spewing out these days.

[@DexterHaven]

This is crazy! How many lead singers go, "Let me put my coat on" and "I have to untangle myself" like it's part of the song? Bet you didn't think we'd hit it this hard?

[@Delftblue1960]

Beck is grooving pretty hard right here, it comes off as almost aggressive, and that is freaking awesome

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. I first encountered this version on the "Make Out City" bootleg about eight years ago and was blown away. You can find the full video of this show if you poke around the web.

[@Jagjim86]

@ 7:15 "Bet you didn't know we was gonna hit it so hard" hahaha Beck is the greatest.

[@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

[@El_Bicho_Feo]

one of the best performances of anything by anyone, ever! that drummer just slays me, also.
