Beck - Debra (Best version ever?)

Taken from http://www.whiskeyclone.net

On November 28 1998, Beck stopped in for his annual KCRW appearence. It was right after Mutations had come out, and he had already been working on Midnite Vultures for a few months. I believe it was the first time in awhile that he was playing with his regular band, and their chemistry during the whole show was just incredible. At the end of the show, a spontaneous, unplanned "Debra" busted loose. There was still the familiar bass, horns, and falsetto, but Roger's piano really filled the song out, and Smokey's acoustic guitar was a gorgeous touch. The whole thing seems to me to be the perfect mix of humor and sleaze, structure and feel, tight but loose. At various times in its life, the song has leaned towards one side of these dualities?but tonight, it really rode the fine lines between them. At the time, a lot in this version was a surprise, but it turned out to be a preview of the Midnite Vultures arrangement. Unfortunately, the acoustic guitar and piano didn't last. "Is this the same song?" Beck remarked afterwards."
