Ben Harper, Paramount Theater, Oakland, CA, Canon Elph SD1000
Saw the incredible Ben Harper perform last night. He was as beautiful and soulful as always... I had to promise Matt that I would stay away from the tour bus after the show. :)
Posted on November 18, 2007 09:55 AMI just saw him on this tour back in September at Radio City Music Hall -- absolutely fantastic! I just wished it was longer, but then again, I could watch him perform forever...
Posted by: Mandi at November 23, 2007 07:44 AMThe new album has been on daily rotation on my ipod...I saw a recent interview with Ben where he was asked if he ever feels limited by other peoples opinions of who he is. His response both made me laugh out loud and is something I have kept in my mind since: "There is nothing I could care less about than what people think I am."

"Give me your forever. Not a day less will do."
The mere mention of that man's name gets my ovaries all in a bunch. I've seen him play three times. Not enough.

Posted by: jen maiser at November 18, 2007 10:50 PMI saw him on Brisbane's river stage, and Jack Johnson made a special appearance. Awesome moment :) and the security guards not knowing what to do when every third person lit up a joint for 'burn one down', that was pretty funny.
He is a special man. Good on you for going.
Posted by: laura at November 18, 2007 09:45 PMswirly and i saw him in Santa Monica - riding his bike down the pavement with his boy on the back. we were both stopped our tracks and star struck. my one hollywood moment on that trip.
Posted by: Frida at November 18, 2007 06:57 PMoh.......you are a lucky chick. i have been to about 4 shows and my favorite was at the vogue in broad ripple. i still remember what i wore. i was only about 3 ft from him. he is a beautiful creature. actually will to live in the vue's cd player. listened to him the whole way back from indy.

Posted by: kelly at November 18, 2007 05:10 PMYou Lucky Girl!!!
I love his music too... but, haven't yet been fortunate enough to see him perform in person.
I'm so envious, but glad for you that you got to go see him. Sounds like you had a wonderful evening.
:)
yup, love love love him!
Posted by: Sue at November 18, 2007 03:15 PMmmm, fabulous fun. i saw him play in Sydney a few years ago. i've been listening to Lifeline this weekend. some wonderful songs, as always.
Posted by: amy at November 18, 2007 03:04 PMAh, yes, Ben Harper in concert...I remember seeing his show in 1997. I was mesmerized and my friend smiled sweetly and said, "Don't you just want to throw your panties on the stage?" Indeed!
Posted by: princess_smartypants at November 18, 2007 02:40 PMShould i be ashamed that his name doesn't ring a bell? Will see if his music does ring a bell ;)
