Beck - Bumbershoot pics, setlist & 2008 Tour Dates
photos by Chris Graham
The headliner for the [first Bumbershoot] night, the musical chameleon known as Beck Hansen, did not disappoint. His set was filled with almost all of his alt rock hits, many of which were given different arrangements than on record. Beck live had more raw sound compared to the more polished sound you hear on his records, which gave the set somewhat of a garage rock feel.More pictures, the setlist, and tour dates below....The set started with "Loser," which was given a country blues arrangement. From there the hits kept coming with "Hell Yes," "Devil's Haircut," "Black Tambourine" and others following.
The big surprise of the set was a funky, plugged in cover of Bob Dylan's "Leopardskin Pillbox Hat." I would've though given Beck's folk rock success with his "Sea Change" record that a Dylan cover by Beck would have been delivered acoustically, but that was not the case. [Kitsap Sun]

Seriously though, I love Beck more than anyone but cut that hair.
GA tickets are United Palace? Isn't that place purely seated? I've never been but where the hell would GA be?

>United Palace ... where the hell would GA be?
I think along the perimeter walls of the orchestra? At least that's what I remember from when the stooges were there.

Beck is totally wearing a wig....the man had thinning hair 10 years ago..Wayne Coyne was quoted in Vanity Fair saying that when they toured, Beck was obsessed about losing his hair.

I actually think the GA for United Palace is at the very top or at least that is where it was for Eddie Vedder.

Darlin' don't you go and cut Beck's hair, do you think its gonna make him change?

"is MGMT playing a private show tonight? I'm hearing they're performing on a rooftop."
If they're copying the Beatles in that regard, I hope they, too, will break up afterwards.
