Beck captivated the audience at London's Royal Albert Hall on April 19, 2025, with a performance alongside the BBC Concert Orchestra. The show, the first of two orchestral nights, featured a blend of hits and deeper cuts from his extensive catalog, all reimagined with symphonic arrangements.
The 54-year-old musician expressed his enthusiasm for performing these songs with a full orchestra, highlighting that the arrangements weren't just strings added to existing hits, but integral parts of the original recordings. The setlist included The Korgis' 'Everybody's Got To Learn Sometimes,' a track popularized by the film "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," as well as covers of 'Tarantula' and Scott Walker songs.
Adding to the rock energy, the encore featured a mini-concert with a band including drummer Joey Waronker, known for his work with Beck and R.E.M. The night concluded with 'Loser,' during which Beck ventured into the orchestra pit, encouraging a lively audience sing-along. The second performance occurred on April 20, conducted by Troy Miller.
