Leg: 2006 Summer US Tour

Venue: Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium

City: Santa Cruz

State: California

Country: United States

Notes:
Beck toured throughout the summer of 2006, mixing Guero and Info songs. Info wouldn't come out until October 2006, so it was a preview tour of sorts.

A frenetic "Black Tambourine" really gets the show started. Tron adds all sorts of madness to a terrific "New Pollution." Early airings of "Information" (2nd live version ever), "Soldier Jane" (3rd) and "Movie Theme" (1st!) are fun. "Hotwax" moves directly into "Hell Yes"--less a medley than a really quick transition.

One of the earlier Dinner Table sets tonight, and it's a unique one. They all join in on "One Foot In The Grave," as it slowly turns into a folk stomp--and Beck is making up lyrics I don't recognize! He briefly turns the song into "Lonesome Whistle," before settling in on "Clap Hands." Beck tosses a few random lines of "Debra" over the "Sexx Laws" banjo solo, really a perfect place for it.

This was made from an optimum floor location and is about as good quality as could have been done.
