Beck Devil's Haircut Live 9-6-1997 New York,NY

[zyxwut321]

Wow, Beck looked a little like Jim Parsons when he was younger.

[BlackHoleSun1921]

I like how he runs to get the guitar, and jumps toward the microphone just as he's about to play it, but then doesn't use it.

[barrelOFawesome]

super beck! he invented the mods haha

[MsLoosylou]

Beck is awesome but the guitar riff here is the same as used on the Liverpool Five's 1966 record " I can only give you everything". Check it out on You Tube

[MusicByTheMoon]

@MsLoosylou He knew that, it's called sampling.

[chirpkook]

@MusicByTheMoon they didn't sample it, they replayed it

[MusicByTheMoon]

@chirpkook Sampling can also mean replaying, it just means repeating really.

[chirpkook]

@MusicByTheMoon Oh. Fair enough.

[smilelikeapickle]

im watching the beck episode of futurama while listening to this...no futurama didnt introduce me to beck but by god its awesome he was on there

[shobijin]

Aaahh-f@cking-mazing

[2bin]

Beck...what an entertainer!

[deadhead155]

beast harmoica part !!!

[1MoreAsian]

no one rocks a better mic jump than Beck

[illuminatioracle]

no idea how anyone even back in the 90s could shit on this guy. experimentalism with electronics is good, especially when clearly he's got a firm understanding of music unlike the shit we have today which is nothing but droning sounds played by a bunch of rich kids trying too hard to be weird and 'the future of music'. ahem, animal collective, ahem.

[xxflareknightxx]

@illuminatioracle and the idiot of the decade award goes to..... illuminatioracle! congratulations!

[illuminatioracle]

@xxflareknightxx typical animal collective fan. a snotty veiny vain bitch who will define 'intelligence' as anyone who remains part of the hipster meme heavy, convince yourself of liking, groupthink mentality and will go out of their way to destroy anyone who goes astray. you're so smart, you're such an individual. you'd fit nicely in williamsburg brooklyn or portland because you're such a smart person.

[xxflareknightxx]

@illuminatioracle i never said anything about ME being smart, just said that you're dumb. i mean, you're consistently being wrong. you obviously haven't ever listened to an anco song, just follow the "ANIMAL COLLECTIVE IS DUMB HIPSTER MUSIC IS LAME" groupthink. i have 2-3 friends who like animal collective. i found out about them in itunes' recommended music. i don't know why you're comparing beck and anco. they make completely different music. stop being dumb and get over yourself.

[djswamptv]

DJ SWAMP in the house

[cocochanell7]

beck was awesome however the croud sucked!!!!

[justaman6972]

the dood's one of a few that has figured it out, how to really express yo seff honestly by saying fuck it ,this is who I am & what ya see is what ya gets... fool has style to boot and ya gotta respect that TUDE for jus bein real...

[Abbeyjackrose]

AWESOME :D

[Icarus19911991]

I love beck. He never has to make sense, he never has to take himself seriously, it's just all pure gold.

[snoozer427]

Is there DVD of this session materialised?? Gotta listen to the entire session! Perfect.

[stratokastered]

best performance of this song

[TairyGreen89]

haha that guitar spin at the end was badass

[LIFEONPLANETBECK]

@TairyGreen89 Apparently Tom Waits though so too, as he stated in an interview Beck did with him on his site; they go back a ways, from the same part of the country apparently. You have to marvel at how Beck manges to thread so many diverse genres of music into one cohesive song....

[jdriscoll2000]

is this the thing they did on pbs where ben folds five played first?

[Interstate08]

badass!

[Walruson]

AWESOME

[xXliesdullthepainXx]

Beck is always fun.

Lolz at 1:57

[xXliesdullthepainXx]

[georgekaplanful]

Poetry in motion

[sweetfly66]

[ablack492]

3:16 amazing

[squirtleenblastoise]

got the devils handgun in my mouth.

[Obehbi]

This is on my birthday! n_n

[rewgregson]

He gets the harmonica from on top of the amp when he walk across the stage at :50

[nil1234569]

めっちゃ格好いい!!

I love BECK!!

[LIFEONPLANETBECK]

This ENTIRE session is pure euphoria....

[nofxopivyrancid]

where did that harmonica come from?

[ashapasha]

back pocket, had to rewind, I was curious too.

[Redandrichbaron]

fututronic noob

[letshakehands]

what guitar is beck playing?

[kurco11]

it looks like some kind of Eastwood guitar...but i'm not really sure.

[TheSchoolsux345]

i think its a shecter

[hanumann]

Wunderbar!

[ChablesMan]

Joey Waronker is the most underrated drummer ever.

[donnyjayw]

Thats no shit!!

[thePolarPandaIsReal]

Good song based on a Them riff

[jasper1984ify]

Beck can indeed do any style and succeed.

[letshakehands]

awesome, what guitar is the lead guitarist playing?

[loosepickings]

devils haircut,cheers for the jekyll vids

[loosepickings]

the most innovative musician in a long time

[MrRobswartzer1]

I love the lyrics, they talk about city life

(The lyrics overall on Odelay are pretty awesome)

[Deepfish9]

Love the guitar line

[MojitoJane]

i'm so tired of hearing "i miss the old beck." it's called progression. would everyone still think he is a genius if he churned and spewed out the same thing over and over? aren't we subjected to enough of that already?

[stereoplastic]

I understand where your coming from, a lot of musicians are incredible and as they "progress" and change styles they become something COMPLETELY different and sound horrible. Beck still maintains a good sense of creating music even if its different every time. Hes still a musical phenom!

[bobhappyman]

if he did that he would be The Offspring

[JuJuHound]

@bobhappyman hahahaha oh man

[morrow94]

Miss the old Beck. He is so very talented. Loved this entire live session when I saw on TV

[cactaceous]

Miss the old Beck? Have you listened to his last 4 albums as opposed to just hearing them? Absolutely brilliant. He keeps on growing and changing instead of getting stale and making the same type of music over and over. He can try and succeed in any style he wants. I'll be a fan as long as the old Beck never comes back for two albums in a row. His next album should be completely acoustic.

[ThEZodiaC23]

if he did an aucoustic album it def would not be different you r forgeting mutations dude

[cactaceous]

I'm not forgetting Mutations or sea Change or One Foot In The Grave or Stereopathetic Soul Manure. Mostly acoustic albums. Bob Dylan has made countless acoustic albums and none of them sound exactly the same. Beck is such a talented and competent songwriter that he can pull anything off. Anyway, just because you are playing an acoustic guitar does not mean every song will sound the same.

[ThEZodiaC23]

okay just checkin you knew.. good job btw on knowing beck i didnt no if you knew though..... and i totaly agree if beck does do another acoustic album it will b like nothing else hes done

[C13Ladybee]

This is the internet mate. Google is a click away...

[shanghalf]

Odelay..

[hgldypgldy]

he looks like prince.

[musicgirl070408]

Beck is freakin awesome!

[nicolaaaaaaaas]

amo su corte de pelo

[marcispanis]

This is art, no doubt.

[musicgirl070408]

Beck is so amazing & talented.

[chililucy]

Was amazed when I saw this on TV and have been a fan ever since. So glad to find it here. Any more from this show?

[danielion999]

I loved the image switch from hippie street performer kid wih the jeans and slacker look, to the slick rock star with the leisure suit and ascot. Both were cool and shows how so much of music is image in the publics eye.

[prawnsalad]

I LOVE Beck

[SVinNJ]

I really dig Beck, but I cant stop thinking what might Beavis & Butthead might say if they saw this...Any thoughts on this???

[CircusOfHeaven]

genius genius genius

[eight6sevenfive3oh9]

I effing miss this show!

[JAYKAYAY91]

paul auster?

[pildorito]

this fucking rock!!!!

beck's haircut!

[mattmarsla]

flipping brilliant.

[Wavelength247]

Everything from this session was so rad. His early footage is such a blast.

[xTheOxx]

Those were the days.

I love his guitar, there. I think it's a Schecter.
