5.0 out of 5 stars a great show, June 4, 2004

This review is from: Ben Harper - Live at the Hollywood Bowl (DVD)

I bought this DVD on a whim being a slight fan of Ben Harper's music (i.e. owning one CD). This is a great show that shows up perfectly on DVD with great sound and camera work. The show opens up smashingly with Glory and Consequence, that guitar work by Ben is awesome. However, my favorite track by far is Amen Omen. The opening piano is wonderful and the lyrics are beautiful. Amen also has a couple of great guitar solos; it is simply a stunning song that I watch it over and over. Blessed to Witness is another great song. This DVD is just a great bargain for any audiophile.

4.0 out of 5 stars An excellent show by my favorite artist., November 2, 2004

This review is from: Ben Harper - Live at the Hollywood Bowl (DVD)

This is what I've been hoping for for a while now. A DVD of one of Ben's live performances. This man has built his reputation based on his live shows, and this one doesn't dissapoint. The show starts out pretty typical, but Ben's energy and emotion seem to build as the show progresses. This is a great place to see him perform lots of his classics as well as many of his newer songs from Diamonds on the Inside, and quite honestly I think these songs are better in the live format. This line-up of the Innocent Criminals is really good, with an organ and a second guitar which leave Ben more space to concentrate on his singing. Although not as much as before, Ben still is able to showcase his incredible guitar work along side Mark Ford who's style of guitar seems to be strait from the late 60's early 70's. Now we need to get older shows on DVD also, or a Solo show would be nice.

This review is from: Ben Harper - Live at the Hollywood Bowl (DVD)

This DVD rocks! Any true fan knows in their mind and heart that Ben Harper stirs the soul, especially in his live performances. This show is even more special as it is near his hometown in California. With a few of the newer songs, along with his personal narratives, this DVD shows the spectrum of his music. From 'glory and consequence' to 'amen omen', it is amazing to see the breadth of musical tastes that this music reaches. Check this DVD out - for the fans it is what we know and love. For those of you who are new to Ben Harper, grab this DVD and find out why the following of Ben Harper is so loyal. We search for something and someone real in our lives, and Ben Harper shows us a form of art that stirs in us so deep and pure.
