Last week I recorded this 2007 show off-air:

It's a total treat to watch both Beck & Tal Wilkenfeld, a terribly cute little girl who also happens to be a devastating bassist. (Here's Wilkenfeld in a bass-heavy jam:

Beck has evolved a pickless style, using primarily his thumb, but also relying heavily on the vibrato arm & forever rolling his Strat's volume knob with his fourth finger. While quite capable of turning out some seriously eye-watering shred, he usually plays with the laid-back ease of a virtuoso.
In this age of fancy effects & down-tuned madness, Beck gets some incredible music out of a plain-looking s-s-s Strat -- the vibrato arm is custom-bent & there's an odd-looking nut, but otherwise it looks like a totally stock bolt-on Fender. And Wilkenfeld, though standing in front of an impressive amp, plays a four-string bass.
The only downer is that there are entirely too many changes of camera angle, apparently trying to make the gig "exciting" for non-guitarists. Aside from that, I highly recommend it for guitarists & bassists.
