Beck - Sessions At West 54th

My Tivo caught this show! This a performance Beck made at the Sony Studios in New York back in 1997 for a television show called Sessions At West 54th.

I'm able to pull off the stream and create SVCDs and DVDs, but still haven't been able to get it to play as a normal video stream that I could post here so that you could download. I'll work on it over the weekend. Until then enjoy the pics.

This already circulates fairly commonly, but I believe the version is missing the last song or two. What setlist did you get? Is there a "High 5"?

When I get home from work I will post the set list. Don't have it here.

"I wanna do you like that Zankou Chicken"

You have to love that lyric!

That's all they showed? That's bizarre, when it originally aired--if I'm remembering right--it was a full hour performance. I have the show on audio-cd now, if anyone wants it; it's quite amazing, it was the very last show of the LONG Odelay tour, so the band (THE band) was super tight.

Yeah, that's the one. Beack mentioned it was the last show of that tour. I made draconian a dvd-r of it if you are interested seacaptain.

The first 35 minutes of the the show, Sessions At West 54th, are with Ben Folds Five. It looks like they are doubling up on all the shows on the Trio channel; two artists. Would have been cool to catch the full hour of Beck show!

Thanks, but I've got the whole set so that's fine.

If you want the audio of the full show though, let me know.

If you could pump that out to divx or some other downloadable format, I would make sure that everytime it rained, it rained pennies from heaven.

Here you go RiffRaff. It's a biggie at 66.41MB. I didn't have time to edit out the Ben Folds Five performance to shrink the size of the download. Enjoy.

Hey thanks, Phobicac!!!

But getting a 404... :(

Yeah...

The site that hosts the downloads got hit by that internet worm. Should be up soon. Sorry about that.
