Date: April 1, 2007
Event: V Festival
Leg: The Information Tour - Leg 2 (Australia/Japan)
Venue: Avica Resort
City: Gold Coast
Country: Australia
Notes:
Beck apologizes before "Movie Theme" for his voice, as he's suffering from a cold. Beck seems in a good mood, but yea, he's mostly speak-singing, not able to give it his all. The band helps out, so there's a bunch of almost group vocals, like the chorus of "Loser" (along with the usual "drive-by body pierce," Tron adds "cleanup on aisle five!" and "carnivorous plants!"). The recording also makes the show sound more boring as you can barely hear any guitar (vocals and bass are clear though). Also, it's a big festival and Basement Jaxx on a nearby stage sometimes drowns Beck out a little (esp. during the acoustic stuff). Not an essential bootleg by any means, but maybe for the curious only.
