Fuck yeah, this thread rules. Good work. I still need to listen to the information. It's on the "to-do" list.

I really wish we could see Matt Mahaffey backing him on guitar again.

The Information was an overblown, indulgent mess. I'll take Guero any day.
Mutations doesn't get enough credit, and is probably my favorite.
You sound like a legit fan, so its a shame you didn't get to see him in hisheyday. I'd cautionagainst developing expectations based on videos of the '99 tour. That Beck is ten years dead.

Yeah this BECK headline while a great surprise, has me kind of worried. Watching the Youtube of the Bridge School Benefit not to long ago, he played (almost)exclusively songs from Sea Change. While that isn't the worst thing, I just hope he brings something a little bit more upbeat come Sasquatch.

I'll eat crow. I'm listening to Midnight Vultures and it's pretty awesome. Get Real Paid is unreal. I guess having only ever heard Sea Change gave me a pretty skewed impression of him.

I never really thought about that.

If I could have the opportunity to hear him play one song it would be "Novacane". Oh, and "Sould Suckin Jerk".

He's an artist I can always come back to and will forever love. Odelay is probably my favorite album ever, and helped get me into all the music I listen to meow. Sea Change is totally different and I used to listen to it over and over after a bad breakup. I was trying to explain to a friend recently about how eclectic his style is and that any one song can't be representative of his sound, and she just thought I was being silly. The OP did a good job in conveying all the different places his music goes. Other than some of his lo-fi really early stuff, the only thing I've never gotten all that into was Modern Guilt. An album that wasn't mentioned that I really like is his Stray Blues B sides collection. Here's its lead song:
Timebomb is a kickass one off single he did a few years back that I've always loved:
Jack Black was in the Sexx Laws video, so it'd be awesome if they did something together at Sasquatch. The video is also a good example of showing that Beck's always had a sense of humor and playfulness throughout his career:
OP, any chance you could update that first post with videos of songs you mentioned over time? It'd help lure people into loving Beck.
I have only seen him live once, which was back in 2008. The show was good but not incredible. Coming out of it I felt I really liked it, but that was largely because I was finally seeing someone I'd loved for years. He had pretty good energy that night and did a good job of interacting with the crowd and making an effort to be fun. This is the thing I'm most excited for at Sasquatch. So glad to see some fellow appreciators out there.

I'm sort of hesitant with this Beck set as I know it couldn't be this, but who knows...

I've said it before and I'll say it again: nobody will ever be as good as Beck than he was during his Midnite Vultures tour.

Lets all just hope that Beck channels the same Sasquatch magic as Modest Mouse, a band who sucked live through and through for many years and albums, did last year. They were fucking Kings that night!

That's what I'm hoping. And hasn't he not done a show in a really long time do to his back injury? Let's hope this is his outlet to let out all that pent-up energy.
