Beck

In November 2002, when Beck and The Flaming Lips shared the stage at Bass Concert Hall in Austin, the artist was pushing creative boundaries following the release of his album *Sea Change* just a few months prior, in September. This album marked a significant departure for Beck, showcasing a more introspective and melancholic side, unlike his earlier genre-bending hits. The live performance captured in the video reflects this evolution, blending the emotionally raw undertones of *Sea Change* with Beck’s signature eclecticism. Interestingly, this collaboration with The Flaming Lips, known for their psychedelic sounds and theatrical live shows, added an extra layer of energy and unpredictability to the event. Fans at the time witnessed a unique fusion of styles and artistic visions—an exciting glimpse into Beck’s journey as he navigated the complex landscape of music and emotion after the critical acclaim of his previous works.
