and Jack Johnson played on "High Tide Or Low Tide."
My sister and I went to this show together and had a fun weekend in
Berkeley. Unfortunately, we just weren't that thrilled by our third
Ben Harper show. This is what I wrote in my journal the next day:
Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals...were less than thrilling. Too
much slow, acoustic stuff, too much that was too blah, and not enough of
the really wicked rockers that we both like the best. We got there late
and parking was hard to find. There wasn't much empty space at the
venue, either. We were pretty uncomfortable and agreed that 1) large
general admission shows are not our thing, 2) we probably won't go see
Ben again the next time he tours, unless we know what his setlists are
like beforehand. Sad. We've seen him twice before and he freakin' ROCKED
both times. Not so, this time.
