Saw the Ben and Relentless7 last night. It was the first time I've had a chance to see Ben live (was supposed to go to the Lifeline your, dammit!).

They brought it. Great rawkin show full of energy!

Personel favorite moments were a nice rockin version of "Better Way", hearing "Spanish Red Wine for the first time(love that song), and an unbelievable version of "Under Pressure". That gave my chills.


Awesome show, now I just need to see him with the Innocent Criminals.

    He sure didn't dissapoint! I saw him 3 times this tour and each night they got better! I'm sure by the time they hit your way they were kick ass! So glad you enjoyed the show as much as I did! :)

    He must hate St Louis and Indianapolis. There's never any shows remotely close to me.

    Glad you made this thread! What an amazing show. Where were you in the venue?

    Under Pressure and Lay There and Hate Me were my highlights of the show.

    This was my third time seeing him, and I enjoyed it just as much as every other time I've seen him. Love the new band.

    Oh, and they were rocking all right! Pieces of the ceiling were falling, haha. Jason and one of the crew guys were kicking it backstage.

    I was standing right next to the soundboard by the bar (go figure). I love St. Andrews. Doesnt matter where you stand or what time you get there, always a good view of the stage.

    It was my first show there, what an amazing place. Couldn't be easier to get to either driving from the other side of the state. Can't wait to see another show there.

    Literally haven't seen him since 98 at the garden. What are his sets like, i know he has a new band (and i am really digging that record, (fly one time on uber repeat right now), is he playing a lot from the new record?

    What are his hits, or essentials that I should know?
