Beck

In August 1996, when Beck graced the MuchMusic Studios in Toronto for a live performance of "Derelict," he was riding high on the momentum from his groundbreaking album, *Odelay*, released just a year earlier. This album catapulted Beck to prominence, thanks to its genre-blurring mix of folk, hip-hop, and rock. "Derelict," a track that embodies his eclectic style, showcases the playful and chaotic vibe that characterized much of his work during this time. It’s fascinating to note that *Odelay* was a significant departure from his earlier, more lo-fi sound in *Mellow Gold*, illustrating his evolution as an artist. By this point, Beck had captured the attention of both mainstream audiences and alternative music lovers, making his performances electrifying spectacles. Just imagine the buzz in the air as fans gathered to experience his unique blend of sounds live—what a moment that must've been!
