KCRW Presents A Sound Eclectic Evening
From Launch:
Beck, Damien Rice, Liz Phair & Others Honor L.A.'s KCRW
Perhaps the ultimate highlight of the entire night, however, was the performance by Beck, who switched from somber acoustic covers of the Elliott Smith tunes "Alameda" and "Clementine" to an off-the-cuff rendition of "Happy Birthday" for a lucky screaming fan, and from his alt-countryish Sea Change numbers "Lonesome Tears" and "Golden Age" to a downright funky, Stevie Wonder-esque medley of his hits "Where It's At" and "Nicotine & Gravy" mixed with Nelly's "Hot In Herre." The latter received a stupendous standing ovation, and a grateful Beck reacted by gushing, "I have to give props to KCRW for keeping some good music on the airwaves!"
