Beck :: 06/09/1996 - W. 54th Avenue, New York City, NY, USA.

Notes:

Originally recorded for the popular Television show, Sessions at West 54th, Beck and the group are in fine form and possibly produce one if not the best performance of 1997.

It’s obvious that a lot of preparation has been put into the performance, with Beck doing the whole James Brown meets Mick Jagger attitude to a tee. Standouts include note perfect performances of Devils Haircut, Novocane and The New Pollution.

The acoustic section is well represented, with performances of the popular Rowboat and Asshole. An outing of the rarely played Ramshackle is a highlight.
