Beck and His Backing Band: The Flaming Lips

I saw Beck play in Mershon Auditorium on the Ohio State campus. This was in support of Sea Change.

His backing band was the Flaming Lips. Not bad.

Wayne Coyne split his time on stage between playing guitar and encouraging the audience to cheer.

Beck mentioned that the last time he had played Columbus, it was at Bernie's. I remember that show. Bernie's could fit 100 people and there was a line around the block. I didn't go.

The other two times I saw Beck was at Lollapalooza '95 and on his Midnight Vultures tour several years later.

The Mershon show was the best of the three.
