Beck

In February 2000, when Beck took the stage on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" to perform "Mixed Business," he was riding high on the success of his album "Midnite Vulture," released just months earlier in November 1999. This album showcased his trademark blend of genres, brilliantly weaving together funk, rock, and electronic sounds—the perfect concoction that had fans buzzing. “Midnite Vultures” included elements of surrealism and commentary, reflecting Beck’s quirky artistic vision that had gained momentum with earlier hits like “Loser.” Notably, this live performance also highlighted Beck's exceptional showmanship, engaging the audience with his offbeat charisma. It's fascinating to think about how this period marked a turning point for him, propelling him into mainstream recognition while still retaining that beloved alternative edge. Plus, can you imagine the energy in the studio that night? It must have been electric!
