Beck w/ Sean Lennon's Goastt 6/24/14 Massmoca

Massachusetts museum of contemporary art is nestled in the bucolic town of North Adams. The museum is in the 1900s factory that made gasmasks for WWII. Joe's field, the open space behind the museum, was the site for this performance. Sean Lennon's band Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger opened the show. Loud and fuzzy, Goastt sped through a slurry set. Sean's vocals, at times, bore a genetic resemblance to his icon father.
I haven't seen Beck since the Odelay slot at a Lollapalooza in Hartford.  Beck's recent album, Morning Phase boasts the same lineup as the fantastic release Sea Change. Beck rarely comes to our area, and this show made up for lost time. Culling hits from all points in his career, Beck put on a great show. Devil's Haircut, Black Tambourine, Novocaine, Modern Guilt, Think I'm In Love, Golden Age, Lost Cause, Blackbird Chain, Loser, Guero, New Pollution, Paper Tiger, Heart as a Drum, Girl, E-pro, Hell Yes, an awesome Debra, closed the show with Two Turntables and a Microphone. The venue was packed, the weather was perfect, and the concert was memorable.
