10 Years of Mellow Gold
Last night I had a good time watching the 3-part documentary about Beck's "Mellow Gold", freely available at the great beck.com. Though not featuring Beck himself, interviewed are many people who were involved with the album and tour (even Edy Lopez, the artist who made the cool robot on the jacket).
There are also streams of the whole album and the KCRW Morning Becomes Eclectic radio shows.
I had caught the Mellow Gold tour in Montreal back in 1994, and it was certainly the most memorable Beck show I've seen (having also seen him on his "Odelay" and "Midnight Vultures" tours which were a lot more choregraphed, also very enjoyable but just not quite the same as seeing him jump around with his harmonica singing "One Foot In The Grave").
Lots of good memories!
