Beck

In March 2000, when Beck delivered his captivating performance of “Mixed Bizness” during a live broadcast at Canal+ in Paris, he was riding high on the success of his album *Odelay*, released back in 1996. This album had catapulted him into the mainstream, showcasing his innovative blend of genres from rock to hip-hop, and earning critical acclaim as well as a Grammy Award. By 2000, Beck was poised to release his next project, *Midnite Vultures*, which followed just a few months later. Interestingly, during this period, he was known for his eclectic stage presence, often characterized by its playful experimentation—evident in “Mixed Bizness,” where he infused his act with a stylish flair reminiscent of '70s funk. It's fascinating how this performance not only exemplified his genre-bending sound but also captured the quintessential Beck spirit: quirky, unpredictable, yet undeniably captivating.
