I love Ben Harper, have seen him a few times, and always found him to be a compelling performer. Earnestness is now a fault or a mishap?
On the other side, although I haven't seen him in person since I was working for the caterer at the MTV 10th Anniversary party, I couldn't agree with you more about Prince - hella good on stage, although he is hella short.
I would offer up a few goods: Derek Trucks Band, Allman Brothers (current line up is more energized than at any point since the death of Duane), Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, Deep Banana Blackout (yes, I am a jam bander), Bob Dylan on a good night, Super 400 (completely effin awesome band from Troy, NY)
Bads: Bob Dylan on a bad night (it's about a 50/50 shot, really)
I havent been to enough concerts in the last few years to want to bad mouth anyone, really. More live music is better, in my opinion. I would almost rather listen to a shitty performer than a great recording.
Oh, and I really really really want to see Pink live at some point.
