Ben Harper and Relentless Seven

So I ordered the White Lies for Dark Times from BH's site. I of course had to get the Limited edition and while it seemed like it took forever to get here it finally arrived on Friday afternoon. Its a great set with vinyls, cd's,dvd, t-shirt and some Danny Clinch photos. While I knew I was getting the photos(7 total) I was a little shocked to see that the one shot is signed by the band. It was a nice little bonus that I wasn't expecting. Oh and it was $79.99 so the price was great as well.


Did anyone else get this set or am I the only one?

    same here! i just hope that BH plays before PJ on the same stage and not on the other side on the Park. the official lineup (with times/stages) is supposed to be posted this Monday, i think.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    Saw 'em on Saturday at the Mile High Music Festival in Denver.

    First thing Ben says to the crowd, "We won't be playing 'Burn One Down' tonight, but we have a lot of other good music for you! :D

    Great show!! They played most of the new White Lies album and covered Under Pressure.

    If you haven't picked up the new album yet, please do so now, esp if you are going to see them open for the boys! SO GOOD!

    I was standing towards the back, but didn't see many folks singing along.

    I am still digging "White Lies For Dark Times" and am waaay stoked for the two Seattle shows!!
  • aNiMaLaNiMaL Posts: 7,117
    God damn this is a terrific album. It s really kicking my ass.

    Loving "Keep It Together (So I Can Fall Apart)" at the moment.

    We are in for such a treat to see this band as the opening act for Pearl Jam.

    Bring on both Seattle shows and the Clark County show!!!!

    You know it!! Have you seen Ben before? I have seen him once with the Innocent Criminals for their last album "Lifeline" and was blown fucking away. Now with R7...on the same stage with PEARL JAM....my head may explode before it's all said and done. :mrgreen:

    Never seen Ben, but I love his records, and he did a great job with Relentless 7. This will be my 4th PJ show. I can't control my excitement!

    dcfaithful, what's your favorite Ben Harper album?

    I really dig on Welcome to the Cruel World, Fight For Your Mind, Lifeline, and the newest White Lies for Dark Times.

    Welcome To The Cruel World, without a doubt. The Three Of Us has got to be one of the best instrumental openers ever. Beautiful tune.

    Fight For Your Mind is a good one. The Will To Live is great too.

    I just cannot put into words how excited I am that THIS BAND is opening for our very own PEARL JAM.

    I am glad I am seeing the show three times. Honestly, i cannot think of anyone else that I am into and dig and respect as much as PJ, as I do for Ben Fucking Harper!!!

    These shows are gonna kick a lot of ass.

    Could not agree with Animal more! I was first turned on to Ben during his opening gigs on the 96 tour...and I have been hooked on his stuff ever since!! Even the album he did with the Blind Boys of Alabama is amazing stuff!!
    Two weeks away!!!!!! :D
    I will not lose my Faith, it's an Inside job today....

    They haven't announced that? I could've sworn that they did...I'm probably wrong in my assumption, but I thought it was Ted Leo and The Pharmacists... :?
