Beck

In the summer of 1996, when Beck took the stage at the Eurockéennes Festival in Belfort, France, he was basking in the afterglow of his landmark album *Odelay*. Released just a year earlier in 1996, *Odelay* marked a significant turning point in Beck's career, catapulting him into the mainstream with its eclectic sound, blending folk, hip hop, and rock influences. The album produced hits like "Where It's At" and "Devil's Haircut," which resonated with a generation craving innovation. Interestingly, Beck was known for his lo-fi aesthetic at the time, often combining genres in ways that felt fresh and wildly adventurous. By the time of the live recording, he had already become a fixture in the alternative scene, showcasing a unique energy that made his shows a compelling experience. The performance at the festival was a showcase of that creative spirit, capturing the spontaneous essence of both Beck and the burgeoning alternative music movement in the '90s.
