The special guest for these dates on The Joshua Tree Tour 2017 is 2015 Grammy Album of the Year winner Beck.
Starting with the anti-anthem “Loser,” from the post-modern era of the 90s, Beck delivers a unique take on American music and culture, which is a great compliment to this tour. His live set draws upon classics from the dozen albums that have cemented his place within modern music.
No Beck record has ever sounded like his previous albums from twin Best Alternative Album winners “Odelay” and “Mutations” the fluorescent funk sounds of “Midnite Vultures,” the sadcore sound of “Sea Change,” the well-received “Guero,” the alternative hip hop of “The Information,” critically acclaimed “Modern Guilt,” and the three- time Grammy winning “Morning Guilt.”
Just like his recordings, seeing Beck live is an excellent yet unpredictable experience to witness.
