Beck recently kicked off his 2024 orchestral tour (get tickets here) at the Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery in the Seattle suburb of Woodinville, Washington on Wednesday (July 3rd) and the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on Saturday (July 6th).
Both sets began with the Morning Phase opening track “Cycle” before transitioning into “The Golden Age” from 2002’s Sea Change. From there, Beck sandwiched covers of The Korgis’ signature hit “Everybody’s Got to Learn Sometime” and Scott Walker’s “It’s Raining Today” around another Sea Change cut, “Lonesome Tears.”
Other highlights from the sets included performances of hits like “Where It’s At” and “The New Pollution” alongside more recent singles like “Blue Moon” and “Waking Light.” Beck also played his cover of Colourbox’s “Tarantula” from the Roma soundtrack and returned for an encore featuring “Loser,” which he performed without the orchestra. The Hollywood Bowl encore also included performances of “One Foot in the Grave” and “Devils Haircut.”
Beck’s orchestral tour runs through the end of July. He’ll play alongside the Boston Pops Orchestra, Philadelphia Orchestra, National Symphony Orchestra, and more. Grab your tickets here.
