It's a shame that Beck is still so underrated as a composer, text writer, songwriter, poet, and especially arranger of ultimate funk and rock songs. This live performance illustrates perfectly how this genius is capable of translating a musical idea to an appealing show with even - to cite Rusty - a dancing Jehova's witness... - can't sit still to Beck's black tambourine!
Saw him in concert, he had several more ppl backing him up. One of 3 tambourine players whipped out a giant tambourine, about 4 feet long. I wanted to join and play tambourine 😳
I had a fish jump out of the aquarium once and flip around on the floor wildly until it eventually died. Kind of reminds me of the guy with the tambourine.
I think the tambourine doooood should run for President if he was serious about the job....any person that brings THAT MUCH focus and enthusiasm to a job....deserves a vote, LOL -Prometheus.
Not still, but again. They've reformed and Matt's the replacement for Paul Hester, he's played on the new album and is with them on tour, apparently as a full time band member instead of "hired hand".
two drummers. that's how hard it is to contain Beck's awesomeness
And a 3rd on percussion, straight fire, grooves for days
with that talent, they're percussionist.(word score)
Gary glitter use 2 drummer but....
How did Beck get a Jehovah's Witness to dance around like that?
dat funny!
Probably bought 5 copies of their WatchTower magazine (and said he was converting from Scientology)...
Looks more like a mormon to me

It's not a shame , it divides the true music lovers from the ones who don't care what they listen to
44 yrs old and I think Beck is amazing. I also love the dancer!
Brilliant...the drummer with a smoke in his mouth...the dude dancing in the background...love the energy...Beck ROCKS!!
easily one of the finest performances I've seen on Letterman.
Coolest tambourine player ever!
love the drummer dressed as a beatnik with an unlit cigarette in his mouth the whole time!

I'm forming a Beck tribute band called Tremendous Cardio.
Funny- I have this song on an iPod playlist that I call Beckcersize :)
Beck's done some great TV performances over the years. I'd like to see a compilation of 'em...

I can't get enough of this performance. Is there a better quality vid out there?
Thanks for noting that - I am a Deep Purple fan from way back and a massive Beck fan :)
How on earth can 5 people dislike this?
44 yrs old and I think Beck is amazing. I also love the dancer! Obama??? Ya, I like him too.
His band is always dialed in tight!! I mean solid man!
Is that Rocky Balboa on the Drumset? If he keeps doing these gigs, he'll never beat Drago.
But seriously, this performance is amazing.
Totally mesmerized by the dancer!!!
16 years later, this is still next level sh*t in so many aspects.
Awesome performance!
That does it! I'm taking up the tambourine.
excelent song great video brillant performance
That guy is my new idol. *wanders off to get her tambourine*
Holy Cow! I want to be able to dance like the wild tambourine man. Who is that guy?
so rad.
What is the name of the dancing tambourine guy? His energy is crazy!
Ryan Falkner
I wanna be the tambourine player
Saw them live in 2005 he was banging two trash can lids and wearing a green flight suit and aviators and had a cop stash. lol
***** What that Hype man ?
Hell yeah!
+Brandon Thompson Well I can check that off of my list of "Things I never thought I'd hear someone say." lol XD
Joel Gion from BJM has made a living playing tambourine.
man this is great. really influential. i love how there are two drummers and one of them is playing on really bad cymbals, but it sounds so good.
THIS IS AWESOME
I cant get enough
When Beck was at the absolute height of his powers.

Ryan Falkner - King of the Tambourine
you can't go wrong with Justin Stanley(g,K), Dan Rothchild(b), and Matt Sherrod(d)!!!...some of LA's heaviest cats!
Yeah, I heard it. It's very possible, seeing as Beck began working on The Information pretty much at the same time he started on Guero.
GranZombie!!!!! Thank you
HAHAHAHA, I love how Letterman pronounces guero it like an English word. Such a guero...
great show! performance is always much better when not taken serious! and they don't need fire ;-)
My band has a dancing tambourine player that is that awesome and he is a retired General
3 people just got punched by the spazzing tambourine guy
Ok...so the tambourine player/hype man is LITTY!
Wow beck almost got punched by that tambourine man in the end..
I didn't know they still had 240p videos on RUclips...
Dwight Shrute, ladies and gentlemen, on the black tambourine.
+Baron Kimball He's a WILD man!!! Love his dancing!!!
lol
YEAH!
gotta love the danelectro

I want that job!
rolisima caray...
We need more drummers.
WHO is the dancing guy?
That dancer taught Jack Black everything he knows :)
what a guitar solo tease at 3:15, come on beck....
i like the mormon guy, he´s opposite to Beck´s calmness, he brings action to the gig, and the song deserves it!!!
Hype men are very underrated. That guy gets a A plus for that hype
Beck's hair looks a lot better this way than it's current length.
And one of those is QuestLove
@J2digital haha da bomb, too good
Beck is the genuine article.
Beck is fuckin awesome
🤟 ‘Nough said
Hahaha, yeah, but not until the VERY END lol.
Beck influenced me to play and write folk music
yet another song with the Bo Diddley beat. ......... cool
Is that ?uestlove on drums?
Nope, it's Matt Sherrod. He's now playing with Crowded House.
SAME TOUR I TOOK MY 10 YEAR OLD SON TO SEE - GUERO, OH YEAAAAAAAA
i don't know what's up with it, but i loved it
@yousuck65432 Actually Guy Picciotto of "Fugazi" was doing it back in the late 80's before anyone else. Google it. Kid had some epic moves.
Not still, but again. They've reformed and Matt's the replacement for Paul Hester, he's played on the new album and is with them on tour, apparently as a full time band member instead of "hired hand".
@rastafury17 FOUR percussionists, actually.
The drums did most of the work for a portion of the song
sonzeiraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
3:14 Did anybody hear some Landslide in there?
Who’s the dude on tambourine 😂
I like how he needs 2 drummers, both working their hardest.
Is that? Is that David Grohl?
Now I know what aerobic victim's are!!!
@StrongBad3 hell yeah! i want to dance with guy!
he should've had a joint
