"BECK-tacular!"
I've seen a lot of the world's best and this guy and his entourage stole the show last night. An amazing performance with artful, non-stop motion graphics and lighting that was absolutely phenomenal – not to mention top drawer 21st century music. Loved the British band that opened "Oh Wonder".

Sound issues in first several songs
The band seemed to be struggling to hear each other. Not together on changes in songs, poor execution. Band had to take a break while issues were resolved.

Great show, Great venue!
Beck put on an awesome show!!! There was some technical difficulties with sound, but he played some acoustic until they figured it out and really made the most of it! The venue was awesome and it exceeded our expectations!!! Would definitely see him again!

Beck was great, the tech was not
First, I loved the opening group, Oh Wonder. They were catchy and fresh. Beck was awesome! He played all the hits you’d expect and the great new tunes off his new album! They were having tech and sound issues throughout the night, which was unfortunate, but overall I’m glad we went!

The building was beautiful! The only negative thing I have to say was that the staff seemed a little confused on the seating. I had to move three different times and even then I’m pretty sure I was still in the wrong spot. Other than that, great!!

Beck is a true performer
Beck was awesome. Very much an artist, he was exciting to watch and connected well with the audience. It’s always nice to see a performer that is truly a musician, Beck is one of those experiences.
BECK IN CONCERT:
Alt-rock icon and master of reinvention Beck made a return to form of sorts in 2014 with Morning Phase, a companion album to 2002's beloved Sea Change. Eschewing the irony and sampling featured prominently in many of his other outings, Beck's latest is awash with earnest optimism and acoustic instrumentation — the result is a lush, organic, emotionally charged tour de force that comes across as beautifully in live concert as it does on record. Backed by a full band, Beck hits the road in 2014 for the Morning Phase tour, which includes a much-anticipated appearance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, CA.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Born and raised in Los Angeles, Beck moved to New York in 1989 and cut his teeth in the city's anti-folk scene before returning to Los Angeles in 1991. In 1993, his limited-release single "Loser" became a surprise college radio favorite, eventually growing into a mainstream Top 10 hit and garnering him a flood of label offers. Signing with Geffen Records, he released Mellow Gold in 1994, launching to both critical and commercial success virtually overnight. 1996 follow-up Odelay would prove even more successful, spawning three hit singles and taking home several Grammys, including Best Alternative Music Album. In the ensuing years, Beck's creativity and fearless experimentation have made him one of pop music's most idiosyncratic talents — the acclaimed 2014 release of Morning Phase, his twelfth studio album, proved that he's just as vital today as he was 20 years ago.
FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:
"Beck was ridiculously amazing. If you get a chance to catch him live, do it while you can. He is a true showman and should not be missed."
"As usual Beck put on an amazing performance. He played a few songs from each album (including the reader), and he played every last one spectacularly."
"He plays a mix of his old & new material, both acoustic & electric, he breaks out the harmonica, then plays a cover of Billie Jean. What!?! I only wish it could have gone on all night long."
