Beck :: 10/12/1996 - Brixton Academy, London, England, UK.

Notes:

One of the more popular recordings from 1996, this captures Beck on the U.K. leg of the late 1996 European tour. Opening with the high-octave Thunderpeel, the show comes across high-adrenaline, with everyone going full pelt. The usual, mid-tempo Lord Only Knows is given a faster, “can’t stop now” rendition, while Minus and The New Pollution keeps up the urgency.

The acoustic set tones everything down a bit with good renditions of Asshole, One Foot In The Grave and Pay No Mind (Snoozer).
