Date: May 26, 1998

Leg: Pre-Mutations Europe Tour

Venue: Zeleste

City: Barcelona

Country: Spain

Notes:
This show was filmed and broadcast on Spanish TV, and in 2015, it ended up on Youtube -- it appears that someone taped it on their VCR back in the day and uploaded it for us. The broadcast includes subtitles for Beck's lyrics! Ever wonder what "Diamond Bollocks" is like in Spanish?

I do not know if the concert was longer than this hour, and more was played that did not make it to the broadcast.

I am also impressed with how many changes of clothes Beck went through in one hour. Makes the whole video feel chopped up to me...

Anyway, it's a fun enough gig, audio quality is a little faded/distant which kills some of the spark. But this was peak Beck/band and always great to see.

They open with an intro jam, which I'm not sure I've heard before. The long endings on songs like "Hotwax" and "Deadweight" were my favorite parts of the show.
