After what seemed like an eternity of anticipation from a crowd chanting his name softly, Beck finally arose from his lair behind stage and began the night with an angsty classic, "Loser." Adorning his most recent look of long blond locks and cowboy hat, Beck gave a nostalgic performance realizing his audience grew up listening to albums like Mellow Gold and Odelay. He did up the pace a bit, playing "Gamma Ray" off his new album Modern Guilt, but the pinnacle of his performance was in hits like "Where It's At" and "Devil's Haircut" which make every bone in your body happy. And yes, even people in line for the port-a-potties couldn't resist dancing. A long-standing frontman, Beck has not lost his stamina and still manages to remain mysteriously omniscient. With a catchy pulse and captivating rhythms, Beck wooed the souls of a sea at people who didn't mind staying late after a long day of great acts. There was a blithe vibe in the air as fans enjoyed a few more beers and chatted with friends, while stretched across blankets. A sudden switch to the wicked beats of "Hell Yes" brought about electric chanting. The performance sparked conversation in my group realizing we forgot how much we truly liked Beck's music and how it pushed us through awkward transformative years. A quick iPhone search led us to discover that he is indeed 38 years old, but still sexy and soulful nonetheless. Critics and hipsters- say what you will, but he definitely surpassed by Becktations. -Candace Birkelbach
