Ben Harper

A very terrific and satisfying night of music. Ben’s son and daughter opened the show with a beautiful and memorable set. They were joined by a keyboard player. Ben started with some solo pieces on slide then the Criminals joined him onstage for a few songs before he played solo again. The ensemble was tight and really rocked. Ben played a bluesy song he wrote for Mavis Staples on slide that really stood out—-it may have been called “Freedom” or “Things Have to Change.” (?) After leaving the stage the band reappeared for an a cappella song followed by a abbreviated version of All Along the Watchtower segueing into another couple tunes—-then they said so long and thank you. They played for a solid two hours~~~~~a great way to kick off their current tour! The audience was enthusiastic and appreciative—-good times for everyone!

Amazing as usual! Ben Harper is a master of his craft and never fails to put in a great show. And the Riverside Theater made the show feel intimate.

An amazing show! Ben Harper is such a genuine, loving human being and it comes through in his live music, his stories he shared and the gratitude he showed the crowd. He played the hits, sprinkled in some astounding covers which I will never forget and gave the crowd their money’s worth and even more! I definitely will be seeing Ben again!

Such a great show, wonderful artist that I've been trying to see for years (I think he's usually out of the country performing) and to make it all even better, the show was free! We were about six back from the stage, the show was great (LOVED the voice of the keyboard player! WOW) such a nice audience, and a great location. Thank you!

My musical spiritual father! 🙌🏾 Except Oliver Charles, I discovered most of this band that night, it was a beautiful show as usual! 🎶✨ I mean it's Ben Harper anyway 😏 💕 Missed Leon Mobley though. Hope to see him again next time.

Le meilleur concert de l’année, plus de 2h de concert, une salle en feu, remplie de fans de la 1ere heure, Ben Harper ému, une grande prestation !

Ben was amasing, they were surreal! A passionate set by Magicians of Sound, opening with a soulful arpege that entranced us all. Mixing tracks from 3 decades, we embarked on an unforgettable journey of raising awareness and speaking out through poetic lyrics that rock every cell in your body and leave you full of questions and full of love. My kind of artist!! Organisation in the venue was not so good. Few toilets for all the people there, so the gardens and bushes, became the toilets. The scene du Amphitheatre where Ben played had 1 side access and it was a little difficult to get in and out, shame it wasn't opened on both sides. Plus, park was emptied, to allow in only ticket holders, the queue was enormous in the sizzling sun and so we missed the first concert with Kepa 😞 Ben and the Innocent Criminals were incredible! Merci a tous!!

Can’t really rate this 10 stars like it deserves. Thank you Ben, and the original IC’s for a night I will personally never forget. 20 years together. Let’s do it for another 20.

As a true fan this was a true treat! Been waiting for years for him to return to the Omaha area. Just wish he would’ve played longer, as it was only about a 12-song set.

Amazing. Great venue. Felt like everyone was able to be close enough to feel like part of the show. The drummer was good. Charlie brought a lot to the show, and Ben puts everything into it. The two covers, ‘Yer Blues’ and ‘When the Levee Breaks’ were perfect for them. Truly great show.

Ben Harper was stunning ! What a genuine artist - very talented and very real! And Charlie Musselwhire - OMG what a legend - so full of soul and blues - he embodied the joy of music! Don’t miss these guys !!!

Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals are one of the best live bands ever. They always put on a tight show. The Will to Live was the first song and it tore the roof off! The hometown crowd was electric and Ben said how much he loved playing for so many people he's known for years. All the changes were right on time. If the infectious groove of Juan's bass doesn't get you moving, Leon Mobley's syncopated percussion all over the reggae beats definitely will. Ben always does a great job with song selection and this time was no different. He interspersed acoustic songs into his set to give the crowd a chance to catch their breath. I've seen Ben six times and this was the best.The opening act; Tom Ford was very good too.

Ben Harper put on an amazing show. He shows so much compassion in his music and truly loves everyone that comes out to support him.The staff at Hard Rock was amazing also.

Du très bon son, un Ben Harper au top de sa forme autant à la guitare et slide que le chant et À CAPPELLA. Les membres de son groupe Innocents Criminals trop bien. Merci à the team

It was an amazing show! regardless of the fact the sound engineer did a horrible job mixing Ben Harper's vocal mic and the crowd was extremely drunk talking the entire time.

I was so impressed with Ben as a live artist! Seldom have I seen a performer put as much of himself in his show the way he did. He showed such passion and heart for his music and audience. It was truly moving! A musician of the truest kind. So glad I was there. I'll definitely go see him live again.

Ben Harper & the Innocent Criminals were brilliant. The sound, however, was mushy as always at Brixton Academy -probably my least favourite London Venue. Shepherd's Bush or Hammersmith next time hopefully.

Incredible! Absolutely worth the wait! Sidney Myer Music Bowl was an amazing venue allowing all fans to have great viewing of Ben and the Innocent Criminals 🙌🎶 Loved it!!

Excellent show! Took a half hour to get a beer, lent a girl my umbrella so she wouldn't get wet, and she took it home with her I guess. ;)

He was AMAZING. Having his mom his mom do a few songs was a bonus PLUS the venue was off the hook. Cannot wait to see him again and try another artist.
