It's a shame that Beck is still so underrated as a composer, text writer, songwriter, poet, and especially arranger of ultimate funk and rock songs. This live performance illustrates perfectly how this genius is capable of translating a musical idea to an appealing show with even - to cite Rusty - a dancing Jehova's witness... - can't sit still to Beck's black tambourine!
Saw him in concert, he had several more ppl backing him up. One of 3 tambourine players whipped out a giant tambourine, about 4 feet long. I wanted to join and play tambourine 😳
I had a fish jump out of the aquarium once and flip around on the floor wildly until it eventually died. Kind of reminds me of the guy with the tambourine.
I think the tambourine doooood should run for President if he was serious about the job....any person that brings THAT MUCH focus and enthusiasm to a job....deserves a vote, LOL -Prometheus.
Not still, but again. They've reformed and Matt's the replacement for Paul Hester, he's played on the new album and is with them on tour, apparently as a full time band member instead of "hired hand".
two drummers. that's how hard it is to contain Beck's awesomeness
And a 3rd on percussion, straight fire, grooves for days
with that talent, they're percussionist.(word score)
Gary glitter use 2 drummer but....
Brilliant...the drummer with a smoke in his mouth...the dude dancing in the background...love the energy...Beck ROCKS!!
44 yrs old and I think Beck is amazing. I also love the dancer!

It's not a shame , it divides the true music lovers from the ones who don't care what they listen to
easily one of the finest performances I've seen on Letterman.
Beck's done some great TV performances over the years. I'd like to see a compilation of 'em...

Black Tambourine (w/ intro & outro)
2005 10/03 Late Show with David Letterman: Ed Sullivan Theatre, New York, NY

haha, the horn section playing 'loser' at the end is awesome. :D
Beck is totally my favorite artist- he has always been a musical influence for me. totally da bomb
That's some tremendous cardio....
I had a fish jump out of the aquarium once and flip around on the floor wildly until it eventually died. Kind of reminds me of the guy with the tambourine.
i love green and pink together.
espesially soft tones
especially on beck
B\
the groove sounds like Hush by Deep Purple
Magnifique!!
Beck is AMAZING….
You go tambourine guy- this your song!
Awesome performance!
His band is always dialed in tight!! I mean solid man!
Totally mesmerized by the dancer!!!
I'm forming a Beck tribute band called Tremendous Cardio.
Funny- I have this song on an iPod playlist that I call Beckcersize :)
How did Beck get a Jehovah's Witness to dance around like that?
dat funny!
Probably bought 5 copies of their WatchTower magazine (and said he was converting from Scientology)...
Looks more like a mormon to me
How on earth can 5 people dislike this?
44 yrs old and I think Beck is amazing. I also love the dancer! Obama??? Ya, I like him too.
Needs more tambourine.
Thanks for noting that - I am a Deep Purple fan from way back and a massive Beck fan :)
beck is so good
fuck this is so legendary. goddamn it
lol, The guy dancing
Looks like he's having a seizure.
Thats his job, literally what Beck hired him for , and dang if he doesn't do it AWESOME
That guy is my new idol. *wanders off to get her tambourine*
That does it! I'm taking up the tambourine.
16 years later, this is still next level sh*t in so many aspects.
gotta love the danelectro
I can't get enough of this performance. Is there a better quality vid out there?
My band has a dancing tambourine player that is that awesome and he is a retired General
THIS IS AWESOME
I cant get enough
so rad.
man this is great. really influential. i love how there are two drummers and one of them is playing on really bad cymbals, but it sounds so good.
I think the tambourine doooood should run for President if he was serious about the job....any person that brings THAT MUCH focus and enthusiasm to a job....deserves a vote, LOL
-Prometheus.
Yeah, I heard it. It's very possible, seeing as Beck began working on The Information pretty much at the same time he started on Guero.
GranZombie!!!!! Thank you
great show! performance is always much better when not taken serious! and they don't need fire ;-)
Ryan Falkner - King of the Tambourine
We need more drummers.
When Beck was at the absolute height of his powers.
HAHAHAHA, I love how Letterman pronounces guero it like an English word. Such a guero...
I want that job!
Is that Rocky Balboa on the Drumset? If he keeps doing these gigs, he'll never beat Drago.
But seriously, this performance is amazing.
can go forever...
rolisima caray...
What is the name of the dancing tambourine guy? His energy is crazy!
Ryan Falkner
I wanna be the tambourine player
Saw them live in 2005 he was banging two trash can lids and wearing a green flight suit and aviators and had a cop stash. lol
***** What that Hype man ?
Hell yeah!
+Brandon Thompson Well I can check that off of my list of "Things I never thought I'd hear someone say." lol XD
Joel Gion from BJM has made a living playing tambourine.
Holy Cow! I want to be able to dance like the wild tambourine man. Who is that guy?
And one of those is QuestLove
you can't go wrong with Justin Stanley(g,K), Dan Rothchild(b), and Matt Sherrod(d)!!!...some of LA's heaviest cats!
3 people just got punched by the spazzing tambourine guy
what a guitar solo tease at 3:15, come on beck....
Dwight Shrute, ladies and gentlemen, on the black tambourine.
+Baron Kimball He's a WILD man!!! Love his dancing!!!
lol
I didn't know they still had 240p videos on TH-cam...
That dancer taught Jack Black everything he knows :)
YEAH!
Beck influenced me to play and write folk music
@J2digital haha da bomb, too good
i like the mormon guy, he´s opposite to Beck´s calmness, he brings action to the gig, and the song deserves it!!!
Beck's hair looks a lot better this way than it's current length.
Beck is fuckin awesome
yet another song with the Bo Diddley beat. ......... cool
Ok...so the tambourine player/hype man is LITTY!
Wow beck almost got punched by that tambourine man in the end..
Hype men are very underrated. That guy gets a A plus for that hype
🤟 ‘Nough said
Beck is the genuine article.
i don't know what's up with it, but i loved it
@yousuck65432 Actually Guy Picciotto of "Fugazi" was doing it back in the late 80's before anyone else. Google it. Kid had some epic moves.
Hahaha, yeah, but not until the VERY END lol.
SAME TOUR I TOOK MY 10 YEAR OLD SON TO SEE - GUERO, OH YEAAAAAAAA
WHO is the dancing guy?
Not still, but again. They've reformed and Matt's the replacement for Paul Hester, he's played on the new album and is with them on tour, apparently as a full time band member instead of "hired hand".
Nope, it's Matt Sherrod. He's now playing with Crowded House.
@rastafury17 FOUR percussionists, actually.
I like how he needs 2 drummers, both working their hardest.
3:14 Did anybody hear some Landslide in there?
sonzeiraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
bought this album after Katrina. Listened to it on the way to and from a strip club in Dothan Alabama while staying in Florida. Goodtimes.
he should've had a joint
Is that ?uestlove on drums?
2005
@StrongBad3 hell yeah! i want to dance with guy!

Now I know what aerobic victim's are!!!
