A trip to Southern California to see Beck and Phoenix reminds us how enriching it can be to travel for music.
. Although different now, travel is better than ever. Today we travel to Southern California to see Beck and Phoenix in concert.
Upon learning that the tour was skipping Utah, I checked nearby shows to see what was available. The one that most stuck out was an August show at the OC Fair in California. Since my regional airport offers $100 round-trip flights there, Orange County seemed like a prime candidate. “Yeah, but I bet rising concert prices and California surcharges will make this hard to stomach,” I muttered.
Right away, we were greeted by good vibes. Located on the Orange County fairgrounds, the outdoor amphitheater sits in a natural bowl surrounded by palms. Phoenix went on first, and it was immediately apparent that the three level deep LED stage, live performance, and sound system would deliver a memorable night. Starting with “Lisztomania,” the band played a selection of their greatest hits, with a couple of live renditions besting their recorded counterparts.
