So I finally called him in about 2012 or 13. “I’d run into Pharrell in elevators and we’d always say we wanted to work together. “I’d been wanting to do a record with him for like 20 years,” he said. Hyperspace wasn’t the first time Beck attempted to collaborate with Pharrell Williams. I remember one point looking up and the entire audience had left except for maybe four or five people, one of whom had gotten a concussion.” And I felt terrible! I remember giving them a hug - they were crying - then I went backstage and Gibby from the Butthole Surfers walked in and screamed that was the best show he’d ever seen. Somebody said somebody got hurt, so I came out and they had a huge welt on their head. I think a mic stand fell and hit a fan in the head and stopped the show. I remember the show being a bit chaotic I was probably overcompensating.
Of course, we were thrown in front of the whole music business at South By Southwest. It was my first tour with a band and I think we didn’t really know what we were doing at all. “I remember Johnny playing and then afterwards we met and hung out a little bit. “Johnny Cash did open up for me, which I thought was absurd,” he recalled. He once gave a fan a concussion.īeck does indeed remember that 1994 SXSW quite well, and not just because of The Man in Black. This particular date underscores his connection to the American indie-rock underground by featuring Throwing Muses singer/songwriter Kristin Hersh on the same bill.Īt the start of his 1 o’clock session, Beck claimed, “I’m not even awake, this is like nine in the morning for me,” but he proved to be a funny, insightful interview. On Saturday, he’ll leave synths behind and give an acoustic show at the Moody Theater, the first of a handful of gigs that find him reconnecting to his roots as a folk singer. The SXSW keynote is the first step in Beck getting back to action after a pandemic-assisted hiatus following the late 2019 release of Hyperspace, a moody, stylish record he made in collaboration with Pharrell Williams. Such an honorarium provides an ideal moment for a spot of reflection, and Beck’s keynote Q&A with New Yorker staff writer Amanda Petrusich did indeed touch upon many different areas of his career, clarifying certain myths and misperceptions while still maintaining his playful mystique. The headliner on that showcase? Beck himself.įast forward 28 years and Beck has become something of an elder statesman, armed with eight Grammys and making the cut on this year’s ballot for induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.
