Beck - 'Let the Doctor Rock You' Live Performance at Microsoft Corporate Party
On October 10, 1998, when Beck took the stage at the FMC Defense Factory in San Jose, he was riding the wave of his eclectic style, having just released "Mutations" the previous year. This album marked a shift towards a more organic sound, blending folk, rock, and even hints of world music, showcasing his unpredictability as an artist. The live recording of "Let the Doctor Rock You" is particularly fascinating since it’s an outtake from that era, implying that Beck was experimenting boldly with ideas that didn’t quite make it to his subsequent album, "Midnite Vultures." Interestingly, this performance was played during a Microsoft corporate party, offering a unique backdrop for his quirky artistry. It's somewhat amusing to think about this offbeat sound echoing through a tech event—talk about mixing business with creativity! The fact that this may be the only recorded version of the song adds an extra layer of rarity to this gem in Beck's live catalog.
