ben harper isn't all that bad. i mean, come on, he didn't write a song called "bubble toes" like jack johnson did. man, that song goes in the wtf were you thinking category.

Try sitting in the back on the floor.  The view ain't too good.  The upper level has super duper stadium seating and I would fear that if I got up to fast I'd go toppling down 20 rows.
 
 Otherwise it is a rather nice venue.
 
 And as for Ben Harper, he just wasn't cut out for motown songs.  And now I'll leave him and the Jack Matthews Mayer Band alone.

i have had positive experiences there, but i think it depends on your seats. if you are in the first 30 rows on the floor, or the first section off the floor, you're okay, after that, the viewing is tough and the sound really gets distorted.
 
 i was there for the opera this winter while the renovate the opera hall at the kennedy center. now that was interesting.

Ben Harper is the only time i could actually say a Led Zeppelin cover wasn't completely butchered.
   
   Bubble Toes!! haha, thats too funny. and dont forget about "Sexy Plexi" , a song about his love with a window...or something.

actually, i sit near the front door, and rarely wear a toga.
