Beck, playing DC tonight!

did they use the bc stage, pa and lights? or did the supplement it? that place is so small it would be hard bring more stuff in. the stage must have been crowded.

I'm sorry I missed it! Hope you all had fun.

damn…

WOuld've loved to have seen that show.

IF anyone has anymore details about the show, please post them!

thanks

yes, no, and yes. only PA i saw were two suspended bins which i assume are the house PA, nothing else. from where i was most of the night (up against stage), there was no PA to be heard - it was all amps. i don't remember seeing any mics on the drums, so the PA (and for the front rows, stage monitors) were mostly vocals. not the best sound, mix was understandably off a little, but definitely acceptable.

6 people on that small stage: beck (guitar/vocals), second guitarist/vocals, keys/cowbell/backup singer, way funky drummer, bassist, and maracas/cowbell/cheerleader dude. no puppets.

the place was a flash-fest so i'm sure pix will pop up online, eventually.

Wow…it sounds amazing.

He did something similar in San Francisco in 2002 at the Exploratorium…one of the best shows I have ever seen.

man thats cool

beck….i am just destined to never see him!

also played "Wraith Pinned to The Mist and Other Games" by Of Montreal

also, from the middle of the room on one of the riser things, the mix was pretty good actually. I could hear all parts pretty well. It was an excellent really dancy set. Best show.

I hate you all, but then again i saw Beck at the Download Festival last month…but he couldn't live up to the set by MUSE :)

12 years ago today beck played a show at the old 930 club. was anyone there? that same night the jesus and mary chain played at WUST, what is now the 930 club. i remember this clearly because i was not allowed to go to either show as i was in a situation similar to young betty at the time. bummer. i did see beck at the "new" 930 a couple years later in august 96. modest mouse opened. that was a fun show.

Man, I almost forgot about Modest Mouse opening that show! Don't forget, though; Money Mark, the Beastie's keyboardist, opened as well.

I couldn't make the old 9:30 show because of age either, but an older group of friends made it, and were invited in early by Beck who made them PBJ sandwiches…at least that's how their story goes.

I'll never forget Beck asking the audience at the newer 9:30 show if they wanted to hear "Lampshade," and no one responding except my friends and I (who were intensely obesessed with all things Beck). Still a little bummed about that; I've seen him perform some rarer songs, but that would've been fantastic!

MUSE did rock. Even Beck said he hoped he could rock as hard as Muse someday.

yep, the two MMs opening for beck. i wasn't too into money mark, it got old after a while. modest mouse played a nice and agitated set, though. maybe. who knows how accurate my memories are? i definitely do remember beck playing a very, very early version of "debra" that just brought the house down. right?

meant to post this last night: Beck's geek cred

included are links to a few (old) pix… i haven't found any of last night's show, yet. anyone else come across any?

i like that David knows how i felt last night. it was pretty brutal. i can't IMAGINE missing The Jesus and Mary Chain…oh man. ohhhh man.


did you ever get to see them, before…you know?

I am so jealous right now.

This is why the Good Lord invented saying goodnight, going to your room, stuffing a dummy in your bed and climbing down the side of the house on a ladder, and hitchiking into town to see the show!

I was at that show and it was amazing, as you remember that it was a very small place. I was a dead Deadhead and got a pic with Beck after the show, I will search for the pic and post.

I was at the JAMC show…Mazzy Star opened up and Hope Sandoval was wearing angel wings I think. I actually have the setlist…for old time's sake:

Snakedriver
Taste the Floor
Blues From a Gun
Come On
Hole
Head On
Happy When It Rains
Girlfriend
Everybody I Know
9 Million Rainy Days
Catchfire
Sidewalking
Teenage Lust
Sugar Ray
