Show Notes:
What a difference 4 years makes!!!! Not with Ben, but with the venue layout itself...compared to filming Primus 4 years earlier, that just wasn't gonna happen. So an "on the fly" positioning adjustment was made - 30 ft. from the stack instead of behind the soundboard, as the outhouses I mounted my cam on 4 years previous were now in a much different location. Same with cars, you could have filmed from the top of a motorhome before, but not any more.

Anyhow, back to Ben and his band...

Wow...just wow.

I think this one is nailed. Even included samples for the first time, and let them speak for themselves.

I will just shut up now and let your ears be the judge of this show recorded with a "ghetto" setup.

He's very innnocent, but not a criminal. Yhank Dennis for his ***lightning fast*** turnaround on this one.

It's not to be missed.

I can handle the "fuck off" department.

Maybe some Tim Easton next? Or Jewel in a couple weeks???

Rusted Root outdoors, open-air? After-hours party at Salmonfest hosted by Leftover Salmon???

Stay tuned...
