Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals live in Toronto

[Solomon]

From their tour a couple of years ago. HDNet channel in the US has been showing this concert recently. I guess it was the tour in support of "Both Sides of the Gun". Anyone else seen it?

Michael Ward, who I did not know of before, was playing lead guitar with the band and had some incredible tone.

Yep----phenomenal show! Both Ward and Harper were playing thru Dumbles. Harper's slide stuff was incred. The bassist was a monster.

 

[Gas-man]

Great players. It's a little weird though how Harper is always looking down when he sings.

I know you have to look to play lap steel like that, it just looks a little weird.

His tone was outrageous though and that bass player!

Pretty funny--when they were doing Burn One Down---big clouds of smoke were coming off the audience---major ganja burning happening...

Also---Michael Ward was in Jacob Dylan's band---One Headlight fame.

I saw BH with opening act Damien Marley. The most cannabis I saw smoked at any concert, bar none...
