Beck - Guess I'm Doing Fine (live)

[mkeene78]

As with every Beck album they are all distinct in their own ways, Sea Change has a feel like none other though. Something he went through and we all go through at some point or another in our lives, and he was able to put it music in the most brilliant of ways. Agreed... it definitely got me through some tough times.

[starrymooney]

Is Beck going to create some more music? Seachange was so gorgeous. of his later work, I really loved The Information. Modern Guilt less so, but...

[TwigDjango]

I only just realized now that he completely skipped over the second verse. Still a great performance.

[crisatunity]

I love this song. I didn't appreciate Sea Change at first, but now I really do, funny how music opinions change over time.

[bighock80]

every album by beck is completely different. thats what makes him so good.

[TheArizonaMark]

too bad Beck believes there is no right or wrong......

[peloduroo]

What a voice!!

[andy191266]

there is no doubt this is from a great album and its a great song

[TheWiggz22]

If this guy didnt touch you in some way well we are all lost!!!!???

[teamwangcomics]

Mutations, Sea Change and Modern Guilt come together to form an amazing trilogy. I regularly throw all three on a playlist and let it go.

[PabloACosq]

See change is a 52:24 song. Epic conceptual work.

[harwicke]

Sea change...best album of the last 10 years.

[Rexicano]

someone actually disliked this? 4 people?

Crazy.

[Huskertuba]

love the essence of this song and album...so dark and mellow

[FrankEtHeiko]

jesus, so beautiful. tears...

[JKLAYMEN]

this man is amazing , the best musician of the actualitty , for me ...John Lennon , Jim Morrison , David Bowie , Mick Jagger , Ozzy Osbourne , Michael Jackson , Bono , Robert Smith , Kurt Cobain , and now..Beck , for me they made all

[Mrkip2]

mayby I will sing like him one day

[lenejaV]

@Mrkip2 Hope you will son, hope you will...

[antifarsas]

that´s right. I like to listen the live version, but I would like to see him playing soccer with mexicans too. please vevo, bring me back the official video, please!!!

[jormalk]

Does it really matter to you guy's that he's into Scientology. His music comes from the soul, which is more than I can say for most music nowadays.

BECK RULES!!!

[whole27]

i don't see any difference in delusion and ignorance between a scientologist and a christian and a muslim and a hindu and on and on...every religion is highly unlikely due to the fact that they can't provide any evidence for all their far fetched claims, period. Highly Unlikely at the least

[Dallasdeckard]

Sea Change was his finest album. In my opinion it was the most honest and personal sound we've ever heard from him.

I think he has been so associated with "eclectic" and "innovative" that he feels it's necessary to continue on in that direction. I don't believe it would hurt anyone's estimation of him if he focused on one genre of music, rather than filling his album's with such variety. His slower, darker stuff is amazing, I wish would pursue that direction again to the fullest.

[deefandumb]

is he really a scientologist? he says a lot of strange things for fun, hopefully this too

[rayredding72]

Im so ashamed Ive ignored his work for so long. I thought Mellow Gold was fun and knew Grammys had been won but was too "cool and indie-rock" to buy a record. I love when you teach yourself a lesson even if its not to be a doucher.

[AraGuitar]

he kind of looks like a young paul gilbert from the side

[killthebadguy]

Who gives a shit if he's a scientologist? He's a cool person and this is a cool song. That's all that matters.

[SuperTrancend]

oh fuck hes scientolotist lol sob

[JRTayl0r]

what concert is this i wanna get the show if i can

[Selerdor10]

I was never a Beck fan until this song.

[Digitalgirlichi]

He is always wonderful live, I can listen to this for hours...

[fledgehog]

michael cera's balls finally dropped!

[jamtoez]

sea change got me through some tough times... 

[Zeokoz]

@jamtoez

Same here man. Our kids and their kids and their kids will look back on Sea Change when the going gets tough. The album just has this universal stigma about it that anyone can relate to. In short, it's fucking gorgeously depressing.

[MrDpanimal]

Where does his jacket go 2:20-2:50? 

[Nokiathrower]

@MrDpanimal

See change :D

[Nokiathrower]

@MrDpanimal I think that they cut this video becouse of some mistake or something. As you can see , this song is little shorter (1 min) than the original version.

[brent01b]

what a truly talented dude. 

[vindicadre]

Beck can sing. Beck can make jokes. What can't he do. Hilarious. Beautiful song.

[Hellsbells1993]

His voice is sooooo good in this video. Such a good song.

[MsLisa567]

He has a beautiful voice

[strongwxnc]

Best of this album. My wife loves to hear me play this. This is a very cool video. Thanks for posting!!!

[mateofleckito]

If Beck wanted to, he could probably be a pop superstar like John Mayer, but he just does what he truly feels and I respect him for it sooo much. This is amazing.

[doppido]

It might just be me, but he kinda looks like Michael Cera.

[PAULFC93]

@doppido

No man, Michael Cera looks like Beck......wrong way around dude

[jewels2uu]

@PAULFC93 they just have similar haircuts. beck is much better looking. btw, what a great song.

[PAULFC93]

Fuck, this is a great preformance.

[jbarr7677]

you know that youre listening to a truly amazing artist when you can strip away all mix effects etc... and still love the raw, core talent

[johannamm21287]

The thing is, Scientology wasn't even really out in the media much until the whole Tom Cruise incident. Now everyone who is one is labeled a nutcase. Personally, I don't care what religion someone is. Beck is a tremendous talent and from what I have seen/heard a good human being. This song is beautiful. (And I love his joke at the beginning--great physical comedy to balance out the song that follows.)

[walkwithears]

This song won my heart. <3 beck.

[Deadcasual]

Best musician ever. Period.  Ever.

[diamondblu7]

sea change is life changing

[ChickenGoujons]

I do love his slack-jawed, slightly dazed rapping, but Beck really is such a lovely singer too.

[elmartox]

lo puedo mirar una y otra y otra vez y no cansarme.

[zenarrrow]

I do not like Becks funky stuff, Sea Change is about the only stuff I like from him. This cd was incredible different from anything he did, quite unexpected.

[krilla]

@zenarrrow listen to mutations and you will change your view. amazin songs.

[warhols25]

Laid back like J. J. Cale and at the same time awesomely powerful as Bob Dylan and Led Zeppelin together

[xXhelpXx]

This is really beautiful. Much better than on record (that doesn't mean that the record is bad...it's awesome, but this is better). His voice just sounds so incredible live.

And that harmonica joke in the beginning. cute :-D :-)

[PAULFC93]

@xXhelpXx

Yeah i agree... not many people are better live than on an album.....but he's one of them..

[fadingad]

Love Beck. The Scientology thing scares me. Usually for closet homos and rabid homophobes. Science Fiction novels really weren't meant to be religion. Oh well. Opiate of the masses.

[wasabihansen]

this is simply beautiful and incredible!

[ChablesMan]

Beck has always had cool hair...

[reforest4fertility]

"protest song"? his music is great, but his muse is sick & devoid of incendiary political content

[capablemachine]

"Incendiary political content" is a bums way of getting their songs played and/or listened to. It's also, like most politics, a complete waste of time.

[illeagle0]

This guy is probably the only Scientologist I'd ever care to meet. Seachange was a fantastic work.

[Beck436]

@illeagle0

He isn't even a practicing one. Hell, he doesn't even mention it unless he's asked.

[217Hovey]

@illeagle0 Get out of here! I heard that years ago! Thats got to be a joke. I am going to the google machine to investigate.

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

@illeagle0 This guy makes Scientology look cool!

[MrGrieves1000]

@illeagle0 i think he was born into it. which is more than we can say for tom cruise's crazy ass

[House38500]

@illeagle0 Yeah me too.

[sorenkierkegaard2008]

Beck is a beautiful hidden island in the dark, sunless, world of creativity.

[gabika00]

How amazing is this song, Beck is so different at the last time I heard.

[bcglass]

This whole album is rock solid, love how he changes from funk to slow every other album, pc

[iammready]

This is definitely a sad but sweet one - Thanks- Giving sub * - *

[makemejelly31]

I knew that i loved his voice in the studio versions of his songs...but live. Oh my God. A voice straight from Heaven. Beautiful. I'd love to see him live someday.

[ahlandias]

Talented... very much!

[MetroidFan621]

As for Sea Change.....I've actually saw it on a greatest albums list. I can't say that about Veedon Fleece.

[jaredneedsalife]

Well Astral weeks usually makes the lists. I am well into Van Morrison - and I think Veedon Fleece is his unsung masterpiece. Taking nothing away from Astral weeks though. Its just a matter of taste, and I personally prefer Odelay to Sea Change.

[MetroidFan621]

That's cool. Odelay was easily the greatest of Beck's eclectic albums, and I still have a special place in my heart for it.

[QuipHop]

This is one of my more favorite Beck songs... So pure and simple, with delicious melodies and wistful charm...

[fullontwenty]

People forget that Beck is human, and has deep feelings and emotions. Listening to Odelay, then Sea Change makes you go WHOA!

But he does it.

[nicra103]

Is it realy live record? i mean is it short version of this song, becose when i watch it i see him one time with jacket other time without and he still play:)

[rralphhplarr]

this video deserves way more than 34k views

[MojitoJane]

this is achingly beautiful . . . makes me cry every time

[MrRobswartzer1]

Going from Midnite Vultures to Sea Change was smart.

Good move Beck. Showing us the non-funky, sensitive, romantic side.

[benwisco]

Amazing. Sea Change is by far my favorite album. Helped me through many a break-up.

[sickdrummerdotcom]

Sea Change is one of those albums that just seems to come from somewhere we'll never understand. His best work IMO and one of my top 10 favorite albums (start to finish) of all time...

[MetroidFan621]

Yep, definately top 10; and I've heard a lot. Sgt. Pepper, Joshua Tree, Ten, Automatic For the People, etc.

[jaredneedsalife]

oooooo, wow - you heard beatles, U2, and, oh my god - I can't believe it REM. Sea Change is a fantastic album but I think it probably lies outside the top ten which includes.

Bob Dylan - Tangled up in Blue

Van Morrison - Veedon Fleece

Rolling Stones - Exile On Main street

Neil Young - After the Goldrush

Warren Zevon - Warren Zevon (eponymous)

Leonard Cohen - The Future

[MetroidFan621]

Dude. Cut the sarcasm. Plus that's just your oppinion. Oh, and if you want to make a point, get all the album names right. "Tangled up in Blue" ISN'T an album. The song Tangled up in Blue is from the album, Blood on the Tracks. Guess what, I'm only a casual Dylan fan and I know that. Rolling Stones? REALLY?! That's so much less known than who I mentioned. I've listened to After the Gold Rush. Lyrically it's genius, but musically it really isn't THAT special.

[MetroidFan621]

Seriously, the fact you make fun of me for liking mainstream albums and then say you like a Rolling Stones album is one of the worst facepalm moments I've seen.

[MetroidFan621]

Believe it or not, I've actually heard at least as much as you, I was just comparing this to albums EVERYONE likes. If you don't.....well, that's your oppinion and you're entitled to it; but most people would like what I said.

[MetroidFan621]

Sorry if I came off as insulting; and that I replied about ten times. I really should just mention that I actually do know really good obscure albums, not necessarily all top ten, but I'd recommend checking them out:

Joy Division- Unknown Pleasures

Midnight Oil- 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band- Trout Mask Replica

Dinosaur Jr.- Living All Over Me

Screaming Trees- Dust

[jaredneedsalife]

Nah it was me I was being a jackass (a great Beck song in itself). and I did know that Blood on the tracks is the name of the album, just a mistake. I love capt beefheart - although I have to say my faves are lick my decals off and shiny beast (bat chain puller). Owed'T Alex - what a song. Joy Division are great and Good call with Dinosaur Jr, I even have a soft spot for thier new stuff. I did not mean to sound so arrogant. and I can see now you know your stuff. so take my apology.

[11xzxzxz]

Jared - good list, not into L Cohen. The Replacements - Let It Be Neil Young - After the Goldrush Buffalo Springfield - Buffalo Springfield Again Love - Forever Changes Graham Parker & the Rumor - Heat Treatment Marshall Crenshaw - Eponymous Elvis Costello - This Years model The Velvet Underground and Nico The Impressions - Best of Van Morrison - Astral Weeks Beatles - Hard Days Night The Doors - The Doors The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds Bob Dylan - Highway 61 Revisited

[jaredneedsalife]

Nice to see Love there. And of course the Velvets - who were such a self admitted influence on Beck himself. There are a couple of albums I have not seen before that I will take up, so thanks. Incidentally where do people stand on midnite vultures. I wasn't a fan at first release but I have been listening to it the ast few days and I think its pretty damned good. Just too esoteric for people to embrace. Tracks like Milk and Honey, sexx laws and of course debra - are great and unique.

[11xzxzxz]

Jared - Well I have very good limited taste (ha) but you really have great "music diversity" which I so dearly lack. There is a lot of new stuff I haven't tried and will probably never try. Honestly, I can't say I know Veedon Fleece but just know Astral Weeks is a remarkable record (I stopped listening to Van probably not much after Saint Doms Preview). I listened to the Lion inside of me to quote Van and moved away from him. Only once in a while will I like him e.g. "Natalia"

[Schneider10101]

Early Cohen is good. Not so early Cohen is not so good.

[11xzxzxz]

OK thanks.

[Schneider10101]

:D :D :D

[xxdawntodustxx]

My Favorite beck song!

[xxdudummesauxx]

mine too

<heart3

[spacecowboy0707]

possibly my favourite recording here on youtube

[warnpeace14]

it's from his 2002 performance on Austin City LImits, i think from various contributors, almost all of the songs from that show are on here somewhere...

[twlawrence]

@warnpeace14 This doesn't look like the ACL stage.

[twlawrence]

So where did this video come from? was it a TV special or something? any info on this performance would be great!

Beck. Solo. Acoustic. My mind is blown!

[robswartzer1]

Sea Change is such a beautiful album

[rightbrigade92]

what concert is this from

[SaddamsStuntDoubL]

Only you...and your sister...I think her names Debra.

[anetchi]

[JLKAJFLKDFKSDKJF]

[APublicDomain]

Ever seen this mate... I quote

"This video is not available in your country".

England......Very Frustrating.

[jbluemchen]

[andyinoregon]

Damn! This is just about as fine as live music gets. Thanks so much for posting.

[hcadaver]

this is probably one of the most sad songs of like, all time.

still, i love it. i'm not too crazy about much from sea change, but this is one of the songs that i really love.

[fugizopp]

when his voice starts its like sex!

[eclecticbgirl]

my thoughts exactly, fugizopp!!! ahah :D!

[casamesadoof]

damn this song can kick my ass sometimes. Great tune

[Levintar]

I'd say that THIS album can kick my ass almost every time... :D

[magikmalick]

Same for me :-) Great songs, great voice, amazing strings.

[4ourty5ive]

Was the 2nd verse edited out??

Good performance nonetheless.

[emptyNINE]

Sounds like it.

[langsense]

sorry, I don't have info on the video or the editing. I downloaded it years ago from kazaa, so there wasn't any info available.

[spacecowboy0707]

This version is so much better than the studio version. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Sea Change, I just think that this performance is so magical

[catgumart]

when was this? anyone know?

[langsense]

I'm sorry, don't have that information. downloaded this from kazaa a few years back.. it wasn't a good site for information with the downloads.

[insertfinger]

@catgumart i saw the whole gig on mtv2, it was 2002 methinks, they played round the bend aswell and the guitarist he's got with him used a violin bow on an electric guitar, sounded awesome. i cant find the vid for that anywhere though.

[1984dman99]

@catgumart

It was Beck - Live in San Francisco DVD

[1984dman99]

@catgumart

[NoSheep2]

open tuning...anyone know it?

[karmaman7]

E A D G B E

[drifter4sure]

hehe

[spacecowboy0707]

shivers down my spine <3

[Nevan]

He has his blazer on at one point, then off in the next shot and back on again.

Beck is truly amazing. Even his costume changes are awesome.

[ASTRAALLEN]

If copyright owner wants to contact me as well I'd be happy to discuss it in person. :)

That rocked!

[IronBars01]

I'm sure Beck could give a shit.

Brilliant.

[kisscatastrophe]

such an amazing performance from an a amazing album, I'm not a big fan of any of his other records, though I do own most of them (from "Mellow Gold" to "Modern Guilt") but I'd say "Sea Change" is one of the best records of the last 40 years. from the melodies, to the lyrics, to the production and mixing. top notch. he can work in any genre and have it be interesting. truly a talented guy

[AnimeaddictedFJ]

cute song... Love it

[PointThree]

What a powerful voice.

[didikakanell]

sea change iz da besd frrom bek

[DloMustachio]

is that really how you spell things?

[foreverWHOfan]

i love that beginning part haha.

go Beck!

[svenguillotien]

dreed122: you are in idiot savant without the savant

beck's new disc is COMPLETELY about fathoming creation and his being

yeah it's completely without emotion, you're right

I love this song so much

[heathernelsonxo]

Beck = Love. (: ♥

[cantbeatAVA29]

how old is beck?

looks young but has got a very powerful voice

good song

[johnielsen08]

He's 38

[JMPhish]

Whoa... skipped a whole verse!? WTF? Ah, whateva. It's still a good video.

[Taylorblonde]

he is a musical genuis, his music is emotion which can mean alot to people when they hear it. it still escapes me why he isnt still a hit.

[Dreed122]

if you haven't noticed, there is no emotion in music anymore... Even Becks new stuff is emotionless.

[Taylorblonde]

becks stuff is still emotional, its not as emotional as this though, it seems emotionless bcuz he sings different, but i really dont care, hes a great singer too!

[sctshman]

I love to make blanket statements because they are so true, you my friend just beat me too it....

[PointThree]

Holy shit, I love Beck.

[hankfletcher]

Man, this just gets me from the opening lyric to the last chord. Beck's a genius.

[Markrp24]

Are you freakin' kiddin' me...Ive got a man crush

[electropentatonic]

lmao

[universal24]

he is amazing, greatest musician ever(opinion)

[elmartox]

i wish it could last longer, he has such a special voice, the lyrics ♥

beck is great.

[Lifeson25]

Awesome song!

[subaruwrx234]

Amazing Amazing Amazing. Beck.
