Pre-sale passwords… sign up at beck.com, or whatnot for those.

There’s more dates coming too, probably as he makes his way to the Northeast (and hopefully South?).

Hey folks, Beck’s tour of Europe begins today at a festival in Norway. The first 3.5 songs were webcast (”Devils Haircut,” “Nausea,” “Timebomb” and “Minus”)… check here, they may be archived there at some point (they’re not right now)? It appears there might be a different drummer from the Echo shows a few weeks ago too…

Anyway I’ll try to be regular with the tour show round-ups, as the tour goes on. If anyone’s at any of these shows and wants to send in setlists, pictures, recordings, or whatever, email us computergirls@whiskeyclone.net

I have updated the post below with a bunch of newer dates for this summer.  Looks like it’s going to be a fun Beck summer!
