    Not the best video, but you get to see a bunch of arms raised in V's. Jeremy starts around 5:35. I've been told he does this tag occasionally so there may be better videos out there from other shows.

    That's where it started for me and man did i ever wear that cd out. I believe i saw this concert on some obscure channel and i was hooked from what i saw. I met BH back stage at the langerado Festival 2007, such a kool guy him and his band IC's.

    I like the way he played out in the crowd, just like my friend Michael franti would do at some of his concerts.

    Been listening to a lot of Ben lately and figured with his upcoming solo tour, he needs his own thread.

    How cool is this:

    Anyone else a big fan?
    Holy shit, why have I never seen that before? :shock: That was the coolest Amen Omen video ever!

    I have much love for Ben and all his bands. The music is great and he comes across as such a great guy.

    NEVER SEEN THAT!!

    the percussion guy is soooo funny!!

    Heard this song on tour when he supported with PJ, i heard it the odd times (saw him about 8 times with PJ on that tour) and it just instantly hit me..I tried to find the best version, i've been through so many as he changes song all the time, this is the best. Couldn't wait for the studio version but it's not as good at this:

    I will not be broken - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK9idVFFVFA

    Up to you now, one of my all time faves.

    The 'yeah yeah yeah's at the start are so good! - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsg00HS_1_g


    His cover of 'drugs don't work' on the live from mars is fucking brilliant, the echo and his voice

    Which you prefer? The swift beated version or the version like you just posted?

    I first heard the song live like you posted and think I prefer it rather to the the heavier version.

    EDIT this is actually a 3rd kinda version you just posted.

    Yeah, I agree with you - I'm digging this version probably the most.

    Ah yes that version is with Criminals, the Relentless 7 version is the better one:
