Beck - Beercan (Live - First TV appearance?)
Beck performing Beercan live on Australian TV show Denton in 1994.
I believe this was Beck's first TV performance. Presenter Andrew Denton asks Beck whether this is the case and Beck appears to confirm this.
Denton also featured a segment where the musical guests selected a random song from a barrel. The bands then had 30 minutes or so to learn the song before performing it at the show's conclusion.
I won't spoil the surprise regrading which 80s schlock pop hit Beck got lumped with....
Not the best quality, but worth it for the historical significance.
For those outside Australia, Andrew Denton is the only true maverick on Australian TV. Among his many career highlights was the the show Blah Blah Blah, which featured legendary Australian band Lubricated Goat performing In The Raw nude! But that's a post for another day....
