I want to start this episode by giving a big shout out to the developers of the Audacity project. This is the software I use to put together this podcast and I just downloaded the latest version which includes a much improved Noise Removal utility. Hopefully you will notice much clearer sounding intros and outros going forward!The artist for this episode is no stranger to the Live Music Podcast and has probably been featured more than anyone else in one incarnation or another. Of course, there is a very good reason for this since Ben Harper and the various musicians that he plays with have a reputation for excellent live performances. If you have never seen one in person I highly recommend putting it on your bucket list. The concert I am featuring might be one of the best sounding of his recordings and I have been very enthused to bring it to you ever since I recently discovered it. Here are Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals from their May 22, 2003 concert in Berlin, Germany.
