    I remember that Witnness set. I seem to remember he also said we were the craziest crowd he had ever seen and I can imagine a guy like Beck has seen some crazy crowds.

    He did that at electric picnic last year, must be a fairly regular thing.

    Seems a bit strange that the ticket prices are the same in dublin and cork seeing as there's the 'extra' Jonny Greenwood in Dublin. Am I reading that right!

    +how does anybody feel about Beck being a scientologist! ...

    I thought he was excellent, but was only on stage about 1 hour max.

    Started strong, then meandered into some new album stuff, then blew it away with some of the big tracks for the last 2 or 3.

    The sound was a bit off at the start and there were spikes of feedback throughout the set that seemed to happen whenever Beck was simultaneously singing and playing guitar.

    I thought the whole show was a bit too rehearsed and by the numbers. There were times when I thought the band would just cut loose for a jam for a minute or two and they reined it back in. When they did go for it, the crowd really responded and show ended on a high for the last 3 songs.

    I missed O Emperor but it sounded like they were just finishing up as I was heading in at around 8:40.

    Don't know exactly but I think it was around 9:20/9:25 that Beck came on stage.

    He was great. Crowd was a bit dead to begin with (boggled my mind the lack of reaction to Devils Haircut as an opener) but once he played Loser they finally got into it. I don't think it was the new songs that caused the lull, it was a few of the lesser known tracks back to back.
    I loved it though, perfect mix for me as I saw the greatest hits set at electric picnic last year and wanted it mixed up a bit. Time bomb, Gamma ray and Beercan were nice surprises.

    Seriously €60 and he was only on for 1 hour?

    I hope he plays more than an hour tonight. Maybe with it being the first date of the tour there were some teething problems and everything started a little late.

    I'd say he played for at least an hour and a half.

    It was about an hour and 15-20 minutes. He came on around 9.15, finished around 10.35
