Beck - Waking Light - (Live From KCRW, Santa Monica, CA, 16-04-2014)

Morning Phase Tour - 2014 "Waking Light" premiered live when Beck performed it on The Tonight Show around the time Morning Phase was released. (Father John Misty sang back-up on this version too.) Then on the tour proper, they played it at most all of the shows (44 of the 57 gigs). For reasons unknown though, the band chopped the middle instrumental and the third chorus out of the song on stage, going straight from the second chorus into the guitar solo coda. (At first, I assumed it was for TV time constraints, but they continued doing it that way all year.) Eight months later, near the end of the tour, they also performed it on Conan O'Brien's talk show -- by this point, the song feels a little darker with a touch more aggression to it.
