Beck

Back in November 1996, when Beck performed at Cirkus in Stockholm, he was riding high on the success of his album "Odelay," which had been released earlier that year. "Odelay" was a watershed moment for Beck, blending genres like a mad scientist with folk, rock, hip-hop, and electronica, capturing the restless, eclectic spirit of the '90s. The live performance, featuring tracks like "Debra" and "High 5," showcased his unique style and theatricality, qualities that made his concerts an unpredictable, joyous affair. Fun fact: during this time, Beck was experimenting with different sounds and arrangements, which set the stage for his later works. So, when you watch this live recording, you’re not just seeing a concert; you're witnessing a artist at a pivotal moment in his evolution—an exhilarating snapshot of a truly innovative musician in his prime!
