Last night at the Hollywood Bowl in L.A., artists including Beck, Ed Droste of Grizzly Bear, Victoria Legrand of Beach House, Zola Jesus, Mike Patton, and actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt honored French pop luminary Serge Gainsbourg with a tribute concert.


Below, check out a shaky but audible fan-shot clip of Beck performing a trio of covers anchored by "Les Sucettes" (translation: "Lollipops"), a sexually suggestive song Gainsbourg wrote for singer France Gall in 1966, years before 50 Cent or Lil Wayne were born.
