Academy 2 (Main Debating Hall)
26th November 1994

This was Beck's debut UK show and no one in the sold out MDH expected what was to take place over the course of 80 minutes. I was a fan of his Mellow Gold album and liked a few tracks from his earlier albums so thought I know where this gig was going... WRONG... we were treated to everything; extended dub reggae jams, solo country-blues mumblings, white boy slacker rap and the occasional guitar thrash wig out. We lapped it all up and he received one of the most rapturous responses at a gig i'd ever witnessed.

Highlight of the night was Beck prompting the entire MDH to clap their hands and stamp their feet for a 10 minute barn dance - the place took off. Amazing.
