Beck

Salt Lake's annual Twilight Concert Series is taking place again this summer. They used to take place at the Gallivan Center downtown but was moved to Pioneer Park in recent years to accommodate the growing crowds. Thanks to the Twilight Concert Series, I have been able to see a few of my favorite bands such as Shinedown and Red. Awesome shows!

This year's line up featured Beck, one of Jake's favorite artists and whom I've been familiar with over the years but really found a love for once Jake and I started dating. Beck is just great. I consider him such an underrated artist. He has some of the most fun, quirky, any-occasion, good ole clean music. You seriously just want to move and groove to his catchy beats, and his slow songs are just relaxing. The show was last night and was announced to be his first stop on his tour, which I thought was fun and proved to be worthy of a great way to kick it off. 

He played many of his radio hits such as "Loser", "Where It's At" and "E-Pro," all proving to be big-crowd pleasers. I was actually surprised of how great the show was. He was very interactive with the crowd, frequently taking time to talk to the audience and mentioning how he hasn't seen such a lively SLC crowd since 1996...chalking it up to "something else in the great Salt Lake than just salt." He was very energetic despite his plain Amish appearance (black, Huckleberry Finn type of hat n' all) and had some awesome nerd dance moves. He even busted out a lively harmonica solo near the end. It was a great night, great show, great artist. We will be sure to see Beck again if he tours here.
