Ben Harper & Avion @ The Joint


Ben Harper Setlist The Joint at Hard Rock Hotel, Las Vegas, NV, USA 2005

What I remember (in 2024)
A & I went with Quinn and Megan.
We expected it just to be a concert, but it was a benefit, and tables were set up down the front, where people were having dinner during the show.  We were stuck at the back and could barely here the show over the noise of people talking and having dinner, and showing no interest, down the front.

Motorhead, Corrosion Of Conformity & Zeke @ House Of Blues


What I remember (in 2024)
Went with Dave.
Was pumped to see Zeke, but their show didn't suit the venue.  They're a band you want to be on the same level as, and close to, so you can feed off their energy.
I knew of Corrosion of Conformity from old punk documentaries.  Now more of a heavier rock than punk.
Motorhead, and yes I should just say Lemmy, was everything I thought they'd be.  Four on the floor, straightforward, brutal rock and roll.  Great show!
