Notes:
This show has been uploaded by an audience member in its entirety on Youtube. The up-close video is pretty great, but the audio is a bit muffled, like the energetic punch of the music has been sucked dry.
Anyway, the setlist starts out pretty normal, until after "Mixed Bizness," Beck decides to try out a new song. "We haven't played this in 15 years," he tells the crowd, before they break out a relatively tame, but still fun to hear, "Hollywood Freaks" for the first time since The Information tour ended in 2007.
This gets them going, and they try "Dear Life" for just the third time (sounds great despite being rare). Then they try "Gamma Ray," which Beck says they don't very often - it has been 2 or 3 years, and is the first time with this band.
Beck introduces "Colors" by saying it was his attempt to be a psychedelic Michael Jackson. During the solo acoustic set, Beck gets a little tongue-tied during "Lovesick Blues" and gets lost, ending the song, calling it a "parenthetical version."
During the band acoustic set, Beck starts strumming the intro "The Golden Age" before realizing that's not the song they're doing. "Sorry, fake out," he says to the crowd, who boo. "Hey, we did 'Golden Age' last time we were here," Beck responds (true) as he figures out how "Guess I'm Doing Fine" begins. He misses the mark for the start of the song a few times, even as the band kick in. (They eventually get through it, but never play the song again after this.)
Beck sings "fax machine anthems get your damn hands up" from "Hell Yes" a few times during "Loser."
