About

BECK IN CONCERT:

Alt-rock icon and master of reinvention Beck made a return to form of sorts in 2014 with Morning Phase, a companion album to 2002's beloved Sea Change. Eschewing the irony and sampling featured prominently in many of his other outings, Beck's latest is awash with earnest optimism and acoustic instrumentation — the result is a lush, organic, emotionally charged tour de force that comes across as beautifully in live concert as it does on record. Backed by a full band, Beck hits the road in 2014 for the Morning Phase tour, which includes a much-anticipated appearance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, CA.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Born and raised in Los Angeles, Beck moved to New York in 1989 and cut his teeth in the city's anti-folk scene before returning to Los Angeles in 1991. In 1993, his limited-release single "Loser" became a surprise college radio favorite, eventually growing into a mainstream Top 10 hit and garnering him a flood of label offers. Signing with Geffen Records, he released Mellow Gold in 1994, launching to both critical and commercial success virtually overnight. 1996 follow-up Odelay would prove even more successful, spawning three hit singles and taking home several Grammys, including Best Alternative Music Album. In the ensuing years, Beck's creativity and fearless experimentation have made him one of pop music's most idiosyncratic talents — the acclaimed 2014 release of Morning Phase, his twelfth studio album, proved that he's just as vital today as he was 20 years ago.

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"Beck was ridiculously amazing. If you get a chance to catch him live, do it while you can. He is a true showman and should not be missed."

"As usual Beck put on an amazing performance. He played a few songs from each album (including the reader), and he played every last one spectacularly."

"He plays a mix of his old & new material, both acoustic & electric, he breaks out the harmonica, then plays a cover of Billie Jean. What!?! I only wish it could have gone on all night long."

    Both headliners great - Phoenix was my fave

    by D-ner on 2023-09-06Budweiser Stage - Toronto

    Unfortunately we got to the Budweiser stage during the last song of Weyes Blood so we missed the first two openers. The song I did hear was great though. Wished I could've seen more of that performance. Phoenix has a bunch of songs I know but I don't know their albums. That being said, their show was so uplifting, cool, fun and sounded fantastic. The visual display was made use of the best by Phoenix. The design of their show was top notch. The band seemed genuinely appreciative of the massive response they elicited from the crowd. The singer whose name I don't know did an epic crowd surf/walk during the last tune that really helped peak the excitement in the crowd. I'd go see them again for sure. Beck's music I know quite a bit more and I am a fan. His show was solid but lacked the enthusiasm and energy of Phoenix. The subtle irony in a lot of Beck's music felt strange after what felt like a joyous and authentic performance by Phoenix. He had a cooler demeanour that I found harder to engage with. The band was really fantastic. Joey Waronker on drums in particular blew me away. But all the musicians were great. There were a lot of tracks in the performance not played by the musicians. That in itself doesn't bother me but my preference would be to hear more of the musicians and less of the tracks. Personal taste. He played most of the hits you'd imagine him playing. The lights/visual display were also really interesting and all over the place, like a lot of Beck's music. I guess it had more variety but less cohesion than the Phoenix set. Still was great to get a chance to see a legend with his fantastic band and show.

    Best venue, worst concessions ever!!

    by Mike on 2023-09-06Budweiser Stage - Toronto

    The Budweiser Stage is a great venue! Beck was awesome! Sir Chloe, Weyes Blood and Phoenix really entertained! Whoever is responsible for the concessions either needs to be given a budget to improve them or be replaced! Absolute garbage distributors!! The concessions themselves look like they haven’t been updated since the 60’s!!

    WOW...it's like right now.

    by Bryan on 2023-09-06Budweiser Stage - Toronto

    Incredible show. The openers were a perfect addition. Phoenix & Beck compliment each other very well. Good vibes and great stage visuals. Beck has such a dense catalogue that you're not going to hear everything you want, but the set was a well curated selection of bangers from most albums. More of a focus on up beat stuff, which I dig. With a few acoustic tracks. Wish we played Nobody's Fault...but maybe next time. :)

    cage the elephant stole the show!

    by kellycoop on 2019-08-15Budweiser Stage - Toronto

    Cage the Elephant blew me away again!!! 3rd time seeing them. Matt gets weirder and more theatrical every time. Loved his costumes and all their songs, knew them all and the sound was great, could hear every word he and the band members sang. It was an amazing performance. I don't know why they aren't more popular, they are everything you want a live show to be. Telescope gives me goosebumps every time I hear them live. They keep getting better and better! Just love them all. Beck's show was good, but his sound was very low, couldn't hear him singing too well - and I was in the 5th row. My sister was in 20th row and said the same thing. His songs were more rock and roll than I thought, love when his band all jammed together. Just wish his mic was louder.

    We want more!

    by Concert Goer on 2019-08-15Budweiser Stage - Toronto

    We went specifically to see Cage the Elephant and Beck. Both were excellent! Beck played for far too short a time. I would have liked to see a 2 hour show from Beck rather than the one hour show he gave us. I imagine the two opening acts were good but not at the expense of only half a show (albeit great) by Beck.

    Lots of Love

    by Kimma on 2019-08-15Budweiser Stage - Toronto

    Love was the theme of the night. From Cage's loved up set and wild wandering lead singer to Beck's philosophical and funky takes of love lost and found, there wasn't a dull moment from beginning to end. Never to be duplicated - Toronto got a special show.

    Amazing live performance!

    by m. c. on 2019-08-14Budweiser Stage - Toronto

    Loved it! Only issue I had was Cage the Elephant not coming out to do an encore. Was very bummed. Other then that, show was beyond enjoyable!

    Awesome show!

    by Derek on 2019-08-14Budweiser Stage - Toronto

    Beck was high energy and seemed happy to be there. Cage the elephant was incredible too. The band had amazing energy and the lead signer went into the crowd like 5 times. Totally worth it!

    Great show, bad parking

    by Jenn on 2019-08-14Budweiser Stage - Toronto

    I went to see Cage The Elephant, and was not disappointed by them. The singer came all the way into the 400 section where I was and made the experience she special. Also the music was better than the recordings. The parking was terrible though! Both parking lots at Budweiser Stage were closed even though there were spots there, but they were “reserved”. It was such a hassle to find parking, and I almost missed the beginning of Cage The Elephant. The venue should plan better for shows.

    So much energy and fun!

    by Ash on 2019-08-14Budweiser Stage - Toronto

    Cage the Elephant had so much stage presence and energy. Beck brought that energy up even higher and had me dancing and smiling from ear to ear. Beck's audiovisuals were particularly entertaining to watch.
