Ben Harper song

edited August 2010 in Other Music
I was at the Belfast and Hyde Park gigs a couple of weeks ago, both of which were just phenomenal, and had never seen Ben Harper before. I only caught the taiol end of his sets both times and he closed both times (I think) with the same song. Quite liked the tune but have no idea what it's called. Can anyone help?
Caught a bolt of lightening, cursed the day he let it go.

    His recent live cd/dvd is a must. It's amazing. The sound is so alive, they did a great job on it. Saw him in Rockin Park just before Pearl Jam and he opened with Serve Your Soul and that was just amazing. Caught him a few years ago with The Innocent Criminals and I must say that group were so great musically. I really like Relentless 7 though. It feels much for looser and rocking. It's the most rocking Ben Harper has been for awhile.

    I love that song, but not a fan of the gospel part in the middle, can totally live without that, kind of lame imo, but its not for long, still this song kicks arse

    I downloaded White Lies For Dark Times this morning... I'm a complete Harper convert after seeing him on tour so much. I highly recommend it. It's cost me £3.79 to investigate and i'm so glad I did :thumbup:
    Been to this many PJ shows: Reading 2006 London 2007 Manchester & London 2009 Dublin, Belfast, London, Nijmegen & Berlin 2010 Manchester 1 & Manchester 2 2012...

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    Half way through his set at Hyde Park I decided the grass looked comfortable and a snooze was the order of the day.
