Today, musician Beck has unveiled stunning new video of the first ever live performance of “Ride Lonesome,” which is the “instant classic”(PARADE) that opens the artist‘s“drop dead gorgeous meditation on heartache and solitude”(NME) album of the same name. Performed May 7 of this year at the Sydney Opera House, the live debut of “Ride Lonesome” finds Beck accompanied by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra and live band mainstays Jason Falkner (on bass and vocals), Roger Joseph Manning Jr. (on piano and vocals) and James McAllister (drums).
Buoyed by an otherworldly orchestral arrangement provided by Beck and his father David Campbell and featuring conductor Nicholas Buc, “Ride Lonesome” with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra is nothing short of revelation one that brings new dimensions to the new classic Beck ballad NPR proclaimed “as moving and beautifully produced as any of his most beloved work.”
Also, Beck is currently in the midst of the Ride Lonesome Tour, which has been making its way across North America, receiving uniformly warm welcomes to nightly assortments of material from the new album alongside hits and deep cuts from classic albums Morning Phase, Sea Change, Mutations, and more.
