Beck with the Flaming Lips - Morning Becomes Eclectic, KCRW Studios, Santa Monica, CA, 11-24-2002

I recently posted two albums of Beck performing for the "Morning Becomes Eclectic" radio show. He really likes playing for this show, and typically does so every other year or thereabouts. So here's another one.

This one is rather unique because Beck was backed by the critically acclaimed band the Flaming Lips for a 2002 tour. At the end of their tour, they did this performance. Beck did all the lead vocals. But he also sang one song by the Flaming Lips, "Do You Realize?"

As is typical for these radio shows, there was lots of talking between the songs, with both Beck and Wayne Coyne, lead singer of the Flaming Lips, talking a lot. I cut that way down, limiting it to only the parts where they discussed the songs they were about to play.

Actually, this wasn't the only performance Beck gave for this radio station in 2002. He did one a few months earlier, with only one other musician. The song list was largely the same, and I think the Flaming Lips performance is more interesting. However, he played three songs he didn't play in the other show. So I've added those to the end.

This album is 51 minutes long.

At first, I was going to use a photo of Beck and Wayne Coyne of the Flaming Lips playing together on the Austin City Limits TV show in 2002. However, that photo was rather low res. More importantly, I discovered a YouTube video of one of the songs ("New Pollution") from this exact show. So I took a screenshot of that. Unfortunately, it only shows Beck, since the Flaming Lips members were scattered all over the studio at the time.
