Leg: Morning Phase US Tour 3 (South & Midwest)

Venue: Ryman Auditorium

City: Nashville

State: Tennessee

Country: United States

Notes:
So every once in awhile on this tour, Beck opens his show with a more acoustic set with his band, before rocking out for the end. I guess playing the historic Ryman is enough of an occasion for such a change, so that's what they did.

Beck mentions how the seeds of Morning Phase happened in Nashville, when he started "Blackbird Chain" and "Say Goodbye" there for a record he didn't quite finish.

"Lonesome Whistle" was just a short tease of the song, Beck sang the opening lines right before the band kicked off "E-Pro." He also drops "making gentlemen cry realistic tears" into the beginning of "Hell Yes."

Beck sang Happy Birthday in the middle of "Where It's At" to someone in the front row, and had a bunch of kids play tambourine (both his kids, as well as some family friends). He also pulled audience members on stage to dance during the song.

Highlights: "The Golden Age" from the acoustic part, "Novacane," "E-Pro," "Hell Yes."

Not the greatest recording, it's clear but also feels distant and the explosiveness of the band is dampened a bit.
