Beck live - Tropicalia

[rodferify]

imagine a duet :zooey deschanell and beck

[tgante]

I remember this concert, it was in 98 on Lisbon Colosseum and Beck played a killer setlist on an awsome show! It was some months before Mutations release and I remember he played Debra from the 1999 Midnight Vultures, and amazing versions of looser, beercan, high 5...

[scarydol]

i wish i would go to the show like that. Beck to me is like Lennon in 90's

[Just2Rusty]

Anyone know a link or somewhere to download a bootleg copy of this show? I'd kill to watch the entire set.

[dcg84]

Such a good review for our tropicalia!! Brazil!!

[Pickwickmusic]

some people know my mom is from brazil. beck knows that

[arielanunes]

música brasileira cantada em inglês para um público português.

[thetinys13]

Beck is just one of those great Singers that back up there songs live.

[jewels2uu]

i've seen beck so many times live and he ALWAYS plays this song.

[Omie789]

0:14 xD

[mistydreamz]

beck is hawt!

[TROPICALRAPTURE]

By the way, this song that is more um samba-rock, a 60's post-bossa-nova style. Bossa Nova is a 50's style and Tropicália, 60's.

[TROPICALRAPTURE]

quis dizer: o que não descarta a influência da bossa nova, of couse.

[dxollllloxb]

i like Mutations.

[nextgod]

i was there!

in 98

[glgaspar]

the funny thing is that there is a kind of bossa nova beat, but the name of the song is Tropicalia, wich is a diferent musical moviment. And It has some topicalia caracteristics, so its not exactly contraditory.

[TROPICALRAPTURE]

@glgaspar, bom, é muito mais para um samba rock a la Jorge Benjor né? O que não descarta a influencia do samba rock of course

[MrBastaru]

i dont think so..

[TheZerapadura]

bossa :)

[failboatville]

squeee! so adorable here, i just want to hug him. and his hair looks all floofy. XD

[GattoProud]

At 0:14 he looks so adorable!!!

[CoreyCL27]

this is the best song ever! way to go beck

[sheepers411]

He looks so young and adorable here. o:

[esomary]

@sheepers411

yeah, a mixture of Luke Skywalker and David Soul ;)

[ledzepguy]

Beck is just amazing in this performance!

[MojitoJane]

stunning!

[sparklingdark]

Beck was looking damn good that night

[sarahmhmyeah]

This is great! Beck is a beautiful man! His music is so amazing And this is a fucking great performance of Tropicalia. I LOVE BECK!! :)

[pmclaro]

Shit! I went to this concert and it was simply amazing. Full house, hot weather, every body going crazy, dancing throughout the show... Basically more like a huge party rather than a concert. Beck always loved to play in Portugal because of this, great atmosphere, no fights, everybody having fun.

Simply unforgettable! How I miss these concerts in Lisbon Coloseum...

[tacoforpacho]

odelay is the most underated masterpiece in the history of music

[flyingcowmachine]

This is off of mutations though... Unless you were just talking about beck's music in general.

[connberkshire]

Mutations is my favorite album, and this song shows the range of Beck's talent!!! I quit going to concerts a few years ago, but I'd kill to see him live, especially in a smaller venue...

[JPPraterCO08]

I hated Mutations at first, now it is my fav behind Guero. I like this song about as much as I like anything.

[robswartzer1]

one of my fav singles from him

[djkfdhfhl]

I, like people already said, think Beck should get some time off. You know get to be with the family, take a vacation.Then in a couple of months he can go onstage and tour, then he probably wouldn't be so tired and sound so warn down.I think when people say he is growing up that he is probably just not in the mood from being warn out.Not that he is getting old.

[olivia720]

In recent articles, Beck has indicated he's tired of touring (due to the stress) and that he doesn't want to tour again. He's done a lot in past years and may be burned out. But I think if he has some time off, he'll get refreshed and change his mind. I think it was the fatigue talking.

[emptyNINE]

When you say he doesn't want to tour again, is he referring to forever or what?

[olivia720]

Interviewer: "will you tour again?"

Beck: "probably not"

So if u take him at his word, that does mean forever. But he also said "probably" which does leave the door open.

Ppl change their minds a lot.

I do think it was the fatigue talking. He was currently touring EU, and was subjected to 10 hr bus rides that were hell on his back. (also travels w/ wife and 2 kids). So, imo, he'll tour again. Just needs a long break.

Stewoo is a good beck forum where u can find Beck articles.

[olivia720]

I also wanted to say, even if he doesn't tour again (which includes international/national)

I'm sure he'll do performances here and there, such as the LA area (where he lives).

And let me reassure you, he could do much scaled back "smaller" tours just in the US.

[semskees]

In an interview with Spin, (that's the one that you're referring to, right?) he also said his son was bouncing around the bus... in a bad way, and that sleeping on the bus was like sleeping on a washing machine.

I understand him not wanting to tour because of his family/stress, but he will be missed if he truthfully decides to stop touring.

[mnrlwtr]

i never see him in concert before :(

and i live in asia

[peterdpl]

Gostei disso!!!! I really like it!!!

[olivia720]

I don't think its so much that he's acting "grown up" on stage now, more that he's tired/not as energetic. He said so himself. He needs a break.

[CindyVision]

He's not even 40, though. I'd love to believe that though. When did he say that?

[thembubz777]

wow ive always wanted to see Beck live, he doesnt tour much does he? when was the last time anyone heard of him in the NE part of the US?

[CindyVision]

In October/November of this year.

[willy4u4u]

he looks like peter framptons kid..

[claahiwa]

What a cute! Love this freaky smile (?) at 2:07. Great music too, very... Brazilian? Fuck yeah, Beck rulez.

[ohgreatguru]

this is fabulous!

[CircusOfHeaven]

Beck is The Musician of our days

[CircusOfHeaven]

OH MY FUCKING GOD, Beck looks either like a kid or an angel in this vid.. and still enthusiastic.. it's a bit of a pity that he seems to act so "grown up" in his recent shows i mean, 27 or 37, who cares?

[LordSpanky]

he does look really young for his age ..im 28 .. and i must admit i look older than that ..

[thekidwiththefa]

Yeah, I'm bummed that Justin's touring with NIN right now, but whatevs, the show'll still be great.

[FrozenbySloth]

amazing, really

[kingate10]

pum ...pum pum¡¡¡¡ beck show,, tropicaliam

[odelux]

Bad news everyone, no JMJ (Justin) for this summers touring... :(

However Tron is on board (Brian)

[xshabootiex]

My favorite people in the band is Beck, of course..Justin, and Bryan.

[pablodmdp]

xshabootiex (1 week ago): "My favorite people in the band is Beck, of course..Justin, and Bryan."

which are those?

[xshabootiex]

Justin and brian? Justin's the bass,and and Brian's like casio dj stuff. I don't think brians in this video, but Justins the one at 2 minutes.

[pablodmdp]

xshabootiex: "Justin and brian? Justin's the bass,and and Brian's like casio dj stuff. I don't think brians in this video, but Justins the one at 2 minutes."

I saw Brian live in 2000, in Buenos Aires.

His hair was magestic.

[xshabootiex]

LOL. Brians awesome.

[yourtubeuser128947]

he is so hot, I really had no idea because when loser came out I didn't watch music videos, prob. because I was 8, but still!! I absolutley love his music, and I also love his beautiful face!!

[caribbeandhal]

slick

the lyrics space me every time...

nice

[xshabootiex]

Love love LOVE! Beck :D

[odelux]

We all love beck !

Beck is the bomb !

[njando42]

lol. he looks like luke skywalker!

[xshabootiex]

When was this? Was it really June 06? He looks HELLA YOUNG.

[SUPERBUGG842]

no it cant be, look how short JMJ's hair is

[xshabootiex]

That's true. I like it all afro like. LOL

[winechild]

os mutantes tribute

amazing

[xshabootiex]

Beck is so freakin cute!

[psychapallooza]

it's impossible to not love this man... :)

[sparkalot]

you said it!

[westieshelby]

wow I didn't think it was possible for Beck to be any sexier, excuse me while I go take a shower now

[DarkRitsuka]

LMAO, hear hear.

[sparkalot]

No friggin' kidding! He's lethal.

[Javyera]

Beck look so adorable

[Talymaya]

this is great, he looks happy. A lot of live clips of Beck, he doesn't look present, or like the stage sound isn't very good. He's really having fun! Thanks sound guys.

[jgxcmonkey]

wow!!

[butabong]

he's so cute

[sparkalot]

..ah that's an under-statement, he's positively stunningly adorable in this clip..

[takingbackaction118]

I think Beck is soo cute!! Ahhhhh!! This song reminds me of a commercial...like the beat and stuff. Its kinda funny. I love love loovvvee beck! Gahhh

[naomiomio]

i think that tropocalia is part of beck's Brazilian trilogy actually. the other two are deadweight and missing.

[jsnukem]

yeah i agree. I really like when he does that kind of bossa nova style. but I also like his hip-hop/big band/pop stuff like midnight vultures album. I don't know so much about the information..there are good parts of some songs, but mostly just noise...

[Angeloeu13]

come on...beck better than caetano,gil and mutantes?beck's music is nice but if you listen the others you will know that you're wrong...and caetano,mutantes and gil are the guys who create tropicália

[CyanideSyrup]

Gilberto Gil, Os Mutantes-like.

Ah, but I have to say, Beck is better than all thems. XD

[gmitsu]

well... to confirm you have to hear the major albums from the tropicalia movement.Did you?

[matheusdoria]

Actually Tropicalia is a movement of brazilian´s pop music in the 60`s.

[pedrovascon]

this music looks so brazilian..i believe the lyrics are about Brazil too..Its like a gringo's bossa

=)

[love4tchock]

He's so damn cute.

[psnk0002]

i ♥ beck

[icywisteria]

Actually, he is a Scientologist. His Grandfather was friends with ...um. Shit. The guy who wrote the book it's made on. Look up Al Hansen. The man was amazing.

[melman]

Does anyone know where I can find the video of Loser from this same concert? It was the best version I'd ever heard.

[docevil003]

OMG! This is the same kind of crap you see if you watch a vid by the great Cat Stevens (now Yussuf Mohammed)

All the fucking comments are on religion or politics...

Oh, I'm sorry... I was looking for a MUSIC video.

Go to the Google news comments and dive right into that cesspool if you want to rant about those things.

Let's just keep Youtube fun, shall we?

[000OOOooo]

oh ya. im atheist and Scientology sux

[jaysag]

hey, if you're athiest you don't have to be announcing it everywhere. what are you? Twelve? I bet you're like an eleven year old christian and just say you're athiest because you think it's "cool." seriously, get a life.

[000OOOooo]

i hate religion. all you do is complain and annoy the shit out of people that don't believe what you believe in witch is something you have never seen, have no proof, and is stupid but apparently to you, your belief is right. religious people have no real goal in life because you know how exactly how every thing happened because you read it in a 2000 year old book or what ever. so why dont you take your religious symbol and shove it up your ass and stop complaining on you tube for fuck sake.

[Marcbackman]

Scientology is as viable as a religion as Chrisianity, actually. I think you guys need to have a good look at your own views before you go out and put down others' because they are different to yours. Stop being hypocrits.

And that has nothing to do with his music. He was born into scientology, and has stated that he isn't into it, it's just how it is. Great video, Tropicalia is such a mellow song.:D

[bapyou]

Hey <u>Marcbackman</u>, "Scientology is a viable religion"? Kind of like brainwashing or idiocy is a viable religion.

[Marcbackman]

I said it's as viable compared to some of the other mainstream religions, I still think that Scientology is a big crock of shit (It's based on a science fiction book for christ sake, just read how they think humans came to earth and you'll see how ridiculous it is). But as we all know, Beck doesn't really dabble in it, he was just brought up with family members who were scientologists, and it doesn't effect his fantastic music, so just don't worry about it!

[bapyou]

OK Marc. Thanks for the explication. Just checking to see if you have a brain.

[timkick]

lawl

[dannyqueens]

Religion doesnt come into music for me, I love beck's music - im a christian and the two paths have never needed to cross in my life - his religion is his choice so if it makes you feel better shut your eyes, pretend beck is whatever religion you like...and LISTEN

[wariogamer35]

thats wat i think wehn i listen to beck i dont give a shit wats his relgion is just listen

[goobysmom2]

Beck's talent should be worshipped by all Atheists through Zionists!

[flobalobalob]

I'm a christian and i love beck!

[rkz]

k back to the music... was this during the midnight vultures tour?

[StellasAntics]

when will people shut the fuck up about him being a scientologist? oh wow, great, whatever, move the fuck on. SO ANNOYING.

[JinxtheSystem]

Oh my god, christians, listen up! I am absolutly sick of your complaining! Beck is an amazing musician! And another thing, christianity isn't the ultimate good! Many blind and deadly conquests have been made because of christians thinking that they are better than anyone (think the crusades...)Have you Jesus Freaks ever taken a look at yourselves? Didn't he say something about loving everyone, or am I just mistaken? So shut up christians, and enjoy the glorious music of BECK!

[TheOnlyLMV]

Shut Up about his religion >_> there's no point in you really being interested what his religion is, it's not like he's screaming "BE A SCIENTOLOGIST" in his music.He was born into scientology because his father is a scientologist.He was jewish because family members on his mother's side were jewish.

Aside from that,this is a great recording!I wish he had played at least one song from Mutations at the show I went to.

[BeckIsHot]

he's gorgeus and talented so leave him alone about his religion. i'm atheist. are you gonna attack me becasue i'm not your idea of good? hes fabulous

[bloab]

does his music have anything to do with relegion? didnt know that, and i dont realy care. his music is great

[UsagiCoulson]

beck is God!! he's an awesome artist

[moondogg1]

Just remember...Christianity was considered a cult once, as well...besides...look at the music he makes, and that music would not be there with out his upbringing.

[stjimmyssister]

I respect beck and his decisions and choices. We all have the right to decide for ourselves! Yet some decide to put down others for that matter.

[lucasemg]

Beck is more brazilian than me

[watcher0in0the0water]

granted her death was a sad one. then again many people have died in many religions, because of people in those belief systems. like i said - so thank whoever for music. (thanks for the info king)

[olivia720]

Beck was born into scientology . . . he can't really come out against it cause they'd make his live miserable if he did. They play hardball. He distances himself from it.

[otns]

Untrue

[watcher0in0the0water]

so much anger towards scientology, wonder why, just like anger against every other "thing" your not a part of. thank god for music then.

[Kingofyoursoul]

If you wonder why there is anger towards scientology, try searching for information about Lisa McPherson, a member of this 'church'.

[watcher0in0the0water]

Why what did she do?

[mightymikey1]

well, scientology is full of shit to be true, doesnt believe in mental medicine amd believes in too many absurdities, really it was never meant to be taken seriously

[brankin1]

he seperates himself from scientology, I believe.

Anyway, who cares? Beck rocks.

[orangevideo]

Don't get me wrong, I adore Beck....but don't state that he can't help the situation because he was born into it.

Scientology is a modern religeous cult started by a Science fiction writer in which you have to get rid of the REACTIVE mind and ultimately become a "clear". Its cloaked in secrecy, and is super vindictive to those who quit/expose the inner secrets. Beck may not champion his religeous views, and I think that is a good thing. His art speaks volumes, and much respect for that!

-peace

[colossalkegan]

you know, the fact that he could have left never once crossed my mind. pretty good point. As long as you don't lose respect for his music, there's no reason not to lose respect for him.

Beck's quite a wild guy, it's hard to believe he takes too many things seriously. I'd say scientology is probably among those "things". As long as he makes good music, I'll never lose respect. or stop listening, for that matter :D

[thavault]

actually that doesn't sound too weird. In meditation one of the goals is to become mindful, which is essentially to gradually get rid of your "reactive" mind and truly see things how they are.

[orangevideo]

the paramount difference from medtiation Vs Scientologys use of "getting rid of the Reactive Mind" is: A Polygraph machine run by a "Clear" officer of that Cult. Meditation is as old and legit as time itself, from Hindus to Buddists to Zen. The whole Reactive mind riddence from a Scietologist view is basic brain wash while one is at one's most vulnerable.

[orangevideo]

They electronically monitor your answers to very painful personal questions and put in their ideology while you are 100 percent exposed. That is a Cult technique. No spirituality involved.

[otns]

Sinister warp of a workable system that relieves Spiritual travail stress and restores ability, I should know , I am clear and would bot trade this for anything.

[stjimmyssister]

Ditto to orange video. Beck is a great artist, though theres one thing I don't get...

I remeber reading before that beck was jewish. Since when did he covert? And why do they say he was "born into it". I know that Q sounds stupid but can you please shed some light on it for me? Lol, vige..Becklicious...thats classic. I should set that as my catchphrase! Hahahaha...

[otns]

Untrue

[ovelhaeletrica]

scientology makes music?

[otns]

Why discuss his religion, that is his choice. It is his music that counts here. He is giving us his art to enjoy not his private life. A man like Beck is free to create and select his own decisions without caring what others think. I like to have power over my own choices too and do not need to get approval from others either.

[livetolaugh92]

right on!

[MorganHeartsMCR]

why is he just so naturally sexy?

hrm.

I thought scientology was more of like, a religion than a cult?

[otns]

You are right !

[orangevideo]

Brilliant Artists like Beck (like his Uncle) usually can float above all the man made spiritual structured dogma. I was VERY surprised he went into Scientology, now he can share quality time with the likes of Tom Cruise and John Travolta. COME ON BECK

[colossalkegan]

he didn't "go into" it; he was born into scientology, and isn't the most proud of his religion. If you lose respect for a musician for any reason other than his music, then you don't realize why you respected them.

[MorganHeartsMCR]

wow. I kinda get what you're saying.

like if you're in a religion against gays and like someone who was your best friend says they're gay then you are still their friend.. I think it would be the same with me and MCR, like if they all announced they were gay or something I'd still listen to them. but yeah, I get it... and I didn't realize he was born into it. it's like marilyn manson being born into christianity. there really isn't anything he could do about it.

[sftbh]

It makes me sad that I haven't seen him live *crosses fingers for new tour*

[PushItAway]

just because he has different beliefs doesent make him a bad person

[twobrains]

jdoncbus, True. I lost respect for Beck when I heard he was a mememer of the scientology cult.

[chickenkarma]

awesome

[foolybop]

beck is awesome, mutations is the best album ever

[leszno]

i love you beck

[jdoncbus]

beck is a great artist; too bad he is brainwashed by scientology.

[tom82dk]

has he just joined??? Never knew, he seem so much smarter.

[Olivoin]

Ooohhhhhhhhhhhh Beck!

=D

[Karl145]

anyone know the beck filmclip where he's using a fork as a capo?

[ShannaTheWally]

pay no mind i think...

[viqe]

mmm, Becklicious!

[mellow78]

yay, beck

[Jellysauce]

that was actually a pretty cool song.

[NightmareHippy]

Lol, you girls...

Beck is cool, original, I can't stop listening to his 1993 album Mellow Gold.

[flobalobalob]

indeed

[shonastarr]

Beck is such a hot sexy studmuffin in this here vid!!!!
