Beck kicks off the 40th season of Austin City Limits on October 4th on PBS! Here's his classic "Loser" from his brand new episode. Watch Austin City Limits on PBS. For more visit acltv.com
Was almost completely unfamiliar with Beck, prior to last night. I had some kind of pre-conceived idea about him, based only on my age/his age, and simply never having really tried to learn anything about him. I tuned in to ACL last night, knowing that there must be something to him, given that not only has be been on ACL before, but that they would choose him for the opening show of their 40th season! I was absolutely blown away how much I loved his performance! I'm sorry now that I did not record it. Better late than never for me!
greasywrench jones Yes! I am also 61! The full episode is still up on PBS. I would imagine they will re-run it at some point. I will definitely be keeping up with ACL's schedule each week, even more than before! And I will not be so quick to "rule out" somebody, just because I don't recognize the name, or because I have a pre-conceived notion. ;)
MissAstorDancer I have been a huge Beck fan ever since his indie recordings (Mighty Good Leader and Stereopathic Soul Manure) - for more than 20 years. I encourage you to look up this songs and albums on youtube (and even to itunes if thats your thing), leave your pre-existing notions of specific music genres "at the door" and get to know his music. Beck's songs are a good companion, and you'll not regret doing it.
I like the way that the band plays the samples live. Also, he really took offense at the media claiming that he was embodying the "slacker" stereotype, as he worked really, really hard to find success and have this hit single.
i like him back when he was backed by the flaming lips! The best was when he was on lollapalooza 95 before odelay came out he played a few of the tunes from that album and it was great!
SonicRave1 Yeeees! I was volunteering at a university radio station ta the time and was fortunate enough to be able to catch both the Chicago and Detroit Lollapalooza shows that year. It was pretty unforgettable.
this prooves the biggest problem with rap music. It does not translate well into live performances. It is so cleaned up, edited, and enhanced in studio to make it sound easier to understand, then when the artist performs it live it is all mumble jumble
Beck is plain awesome.
Things are gonna change! I can feel it!
Beck has been on ACL a few times. always rocks the house, if you're a fan seek those performances out. Beck, the voice of a generation!

BECK LOOKS LIKE BOWIE HERE OMG
RIP BOWIE.
When Rap and Rock combined for an awesome song !!
I was at this show :D
Que envidia
Damn I just wish he said get crazy with the cheese whiz
Its the best part
I don't believe you!
The Lawyers at Kraft would be all over it. Copyright claims galore
a tip : you can watch series at flixzone. Me and my gf have been using them for watching all kinds of movies during the lockdown.
@Zachary Imran Definitely, I've been using flixzone for months myself =)

To me, this is the best live performance of the song he’s done. The energy is so vibrant
Dude's a Genious!
love the old silvertone amp! if it's good enough for Jack White and Beck it's good for everyone!
Best version
Perfect
I Would like to dedicate this song to Kanye
I would like rededicate it to Ye-his name has changed but he’s still a loser.
😂
This is a great performance

貝克就是帥❤
I swear that riff is lifted from Midnight Rider
Yeah, it's quite similar..
Both songs are played in the same guitar tuning and key. The notes of the main riff are essentially the same.
Odelay ❤
“I got tofu the size of texas”
beck is awsome..fav song.loser
Only Devils Heir Cut beats this!
If you like those two you’ll love “Beercan”.
I'm a big ol Beck fan .... but still I gotta say ... Cocaine is a hell of a drug!
Crack Is Better!
This is his best performance for this song lol
May i ask is the bass player the nine inch nail drummer cuz he looks like it
Can we get a vinyl of this recording please
The Shyyt fr.
The only good live version of this song as far as I've seen. By far my second favorite Beck song, the first being Where It's At.
Beck looks like Dean Ambrose
Whats up with all the amps
There are multiple string instruments. Keyboards usually go right into the PA, but the band might use the amps anyway as monitors.
I get the " Soy un Perdedor" but what is: Tofu the Size of Texas??
That's just a side note about how much tofu he had. What?
Too bad he didn't put on the bear costume for this one
what is beefcake pantyhose?
Common fucking sense compared to some of his lyrics tbh
Plus size women’s stockings.
who's the drummer?

Oh he can do it perfectly when he wants to. He just doesn't want to.
I love the way the band plays the samples live.
What a dead crowd ..
Some were dead and others on life support.
@@gotruut9145 indeed
Scientologist? WTF?
Wow, _that_ was disappointing. Still a creative genius, but here he is just channeling Justin Bieber.
Yes, he is channeling Bieber, who was a week old when this song was released back in 1994.
It sounded fine to me.
one of the gayest band s ever
