I saw ‘Air’ at the Hollywood Bowl and Beck showed up out of nowhere for some guest jamming at the end. He did some crazy spoken word thing and the crowd went insane when they shined the light on him I think that was like my 4th concert ever in life, excluding summerfest (doesn’t really count). I’m easily impressed…. Almost 30, I’ve been to 4 shows in my lifetime. Not a live music fan.
