I've seen him three times, including Outside lands. The first show had a nice little acoustic set while the rest of the band was pretending to eat and drink at a table and then the band took the kitchen utensils to help out on the last song which I think was Hell Yes. And then about a year ago was the show with the puppets. That having been said, without the gimicks, the music does come off better in the studio.

Understanding that Festival positioning can play into your connection with the band too... but I am just back to Toronto from LA and caught the Hollywood Bowl Show. I've always connected well with Beck's Music. His dad conducted the Philharmonic Orchestra during a handful of songs which was cool to see... but in the end I felt a little empty musically leaving the show. The event of visiting the Hollywood Bowl was great though... as was seeing MGMT and SPOON. Nice new/fresh look on the site guys! I have to agree on the studio versus live comments in your review.
