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 😳
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!
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".
Beck's done some great TV performances over the years. I'd like to see a compilation of 'em...

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
love the drummer dressed as a beatnik with an unlit cigarette in his mouth the whole time!
Black Tambourine (w/ intro & outro)

haha, the horn section playing 'loser' at the end is awesome. :D
Awesome performance!
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....
That guy is my new idol. *wanders off to get her tambourine*
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.
Holy Cow! I want to be able to dance like the wild tambourine man. Who is that guy?
you can't go wrong with Justin Stanley(g,K), Dan Rothchild(b), and Matt Sherrod(d)!!!...some of LA's heaviest cats!
I didn't know they still had 240p videos on TH-cam...
🤟 ‘Nough said
Dwight Shrute, ladies and gentlemen, on the black tambourine.
+Baron Kimball He's a WILD man!!! Love his dancing!!!
lol
We need more drummers.
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.
I want that job!
Beck influenced me to play and write folk music
I like how he needs 2 drummers, both working their hardest.
3:14 Did anybody hear some Landslide in there?
@StrongBad3 hell yeah! i want to dance with guy!
hahaha im so happy for the gloomy song
Now I know what aerobic victim's are!!!
loadsa reverb as well
No matter how old he gets, why does Beck still look like he's 10?
Unlit cigarette in the drummers mouth
letterman's house band is playing loser when the show comes back hah nice
This is less than stellar.
No, it's stellar. Maybe even interstellar.
forogt to add if he does think hes in that contest, nowonder hes happy cos hed fukin win it

It's not a shame , it divides the true music lovers from the ones who don't care what they listen to
I'm forming a Beck tribute band called Tremendous Cardio.
Funny- I have this song on an iPod playlist that I call Beckcersize :)
Coolest tambourine player ever!
the groove sounds like Hush by Deep Purple
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.
Is that Rocky Balboa on the Drumset? If he keeps doing these gigs, he'll never beat Drago.
But seriously, this performance is amazing.
easily one of the finest performances I've seen on Letterman.
Brilliant...the drummer with a smoke in his mouth...the dude dancing in the background...love the energy...Beck ROCKS!!
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.
How on earth can 5 people dislike this?
44 yrs old and I think Beck is amazing. I also love the dancer!
Best commercial for Geek Squad ever
hahaha I really like there back-up dancer.
And the drummer that has the cigerette is awesome. hahaha.
That's some tremendous cardio....
I can't get enough of this performance. Is there a better quality vid out there?
Needs more tambourine.
Oh my oh my, hes a genius baby, oh yeah, genius. Beck you rule my musical world man.
fuck this is so legendary. goddamn it
Beck is AMAZING….
What is the name of the dancing tambourine guy? His energy is crazy!
Ryan Falkner
one of the best ever... lookin like a young Van Morrison.

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
3 people just got punched by the spazzing tambourine guy

That drummer with the cig in his mouth is sooo ridiculous.
HAHAHAHA, I love how Letterman pronounces guero it like an English word. Such a guero...
Mr. Happy Feet in the background - Too funny! Great Music!
Ok...so the tambourine player/hype man is LITTY!
Hype men are very underrated. That guy gets a A plus for that hype
That dancer taught Jack Black everything he knows :)
When Beck was at the absolute height of his powers.

His band is always dialed in tight!! I mean solid man!
I love and hate the guy playing tambourine
Ryan Falkner - King of the Tambourine
WHO is the dancing guy?
Wow beck almost got punched by that tambourine man in the end..
GranZombie!!!!! Thank you
That does it! I'm taking up the tambourine.

I've been called worse by better.
Beck is totally my favorite artist- he has always been a musical influence for me. totally da bomb
I love thst dancing guy!

He can't dance. That's the whole point. He's just part of the performance, and he was added for extra weirdness. That's just how Beck rolls.
@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.
16 years later, this is still next level sh*t in so many aspects.
"Live music is better ... bumper stickers should be issued" ... Neil Young 1980
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.
I'm tired of seeing top comments get replaced by bullshit secondary top comments.
Nope, it's Matt Sherrod. He's now playing with Crowded House.
Hey who invited Paul McCartney and napoleon dynamite?
