Although we expected it to blues heavy we were hoping to hear a few Ben Harper classics. Left slightly disappointed. Hope to see him again when he will be playing his trademark music.
Legendary Charlie Musselwhite & Ben Harper true musicians who performed for 2 hrs to give the audience a night to remember !
Great show - it's a blues show with a huge helping of classics.
The main acts sound was too loud and badly distorted as a result which was disappointing
Twas good. Go see if you get a chance as these 2 legends will not disappoint
An amazing set by Charlie & Ben,supported by a very talented band.
From the first note to the end of the last encore, a completely satisfying 2 hours of great music.
I was anticipating this performance for months and I wasn't disappointed. The soulful playlist of rhythm and blues, heartfelt ballads and southern swing had me mesmerized. Ben's mastery of slide guitar and his Jeff Healey like style of playing with such passion was incredible to witness. Charlie echoed his rhythms in perfect balance. I purchased a signed copy of his vinyl"No Mercy in This Land"
Was happy to see this show in an intimate setting. They played for quite a long time and did a couple great covers.
Is it possible this artist just gets better and better every time I see him? He always plays intimate settings and always brings his best to the stage, because he’s in love with his music and u can feel that with every note. An amazing evening a must see for any music lover!
Brilliant! Two blues men who have magnificent musical chemistry on stage. Would see them again in a heartbeat.
What a great show – this is a more mature Ben Harper, at-ease and connected to his material and his audience. This is my 5th time seeing him, and one of the best.
The concert was freakin outstanding! No need for a lot of flash, pomp and circumstance. This is genuine music, real soul, true blues, authentic passion. Ben Harper is an inspirational artist but combined with the historic impressions of Charlie Musselwhite, this entire performance was a masterpiece!
great show , seats a bit tight but i would make due again !!! 2 hrs went by in 20 mins , thats what it felt like ,lol:)
enjoyed the show but it seemed a bit short sound was good and i always enjoy the music hall nice to see charlie in good voice after all these years and ben is quite personable
This show was out of this world. The musicality far exceeded my expectations and brought the album to life. The musicians had outstanding communication on stage and brought a great energy to the show. The harmonica and guitars just sang. It was beautiful. I took a friend that had not listened much to the album and he loved it too.
This performance sits in my top10 performances. The band was tight, Ben did some fantastic work on the slide, and Charlie just killed it. The mix was incredible - there was so much clarity and as an audio engineer, it made my night that much more enjoyable. I would definitely see this show again.
The start time of this event was later than it should have been. If the event was going to be this late why not get a young and up and coming band to open. Then if you are going to start this late why only play for an hour and a half including encore. Other than these problems the band was quite good and charlie was a surprisingly good singer. If there is a next time maybe a better venue like Massey Hall would be more appropriate. And whats up with the Danforth Music Hall ripping out the seats on the main floor. The venue was much better with proper seating. I'll give it a 3 out of 5 more for the venue and tardy start time than for the excellent performance although it was a little short.
My girlfriend and I have seen Ben Harper seven times now, in a variety of different venues—Massey Hall, Molson Amphitheatre, Kool Haus, and now Danforth Music Hall—and it's always a unique experience. This time around, blues was in the air throughout the night. I hadn't been to the Music Hall since they removed the seats from the first floor, and while I missed being able to sit and rest, there's no chance I would have sat down at any point during the show anyway. And because the floor gently slopes down towards the stage, sightlines are great from everywhere in the room. No matter where he's playing or who he's playing with, everyone should see Ben Harper at least once, the experience is unforgettable.
It was amazing to see Ben Harper back in Toronto & what an incredibly special treat to have Charlie Musselwhite playing with Ben & the band. Charlie is true legend & together with Ben Harper, it made for a magical night of the blues!
