@ohsosickwithit, the fact that you disagree with my comment doesn't make my comment stupid. I'm presenting a point of view and you, you are just criticizing me. Use your brain; think about what I'm saying and post a comment with a counterargument if you have one.
His lyrics are very unsophisticated in my opinion. And that is typical of people that don't read much. I do like his music. A lot. Which is the reason I was watching this video in the first place.
@gavilanchocolatero listen to diamonds on the inside-those aren't unsophisticated lyrics. and remember rockNroll and rhythm and blues songs aren't generally sophisticated lyrically...perhaps you should stick to opera songs while on the tube-lol.
Notice at about 3:27 he looks over to his left and yell's "where you at?" because his bass player missed the bridge. His bassist is a groovy player, but must have spaced out while Ben was soloing.

I love burn one down to superrueben, but recently I have come to love Ben's edition of the verve's song " The drugs don't work." I also love "she's only happy in the sun" and "my own two hands." Obama should use that song.
Ben is by far one of the most influential, inspiring and phenomenal artist of our time...he exudes magic and eloquence when he sings and plays..and he lyrics can be prophetic, uplifting, emotional, and revolutionary. He is so versatile in his playing abilities...and he kills it on the slide guitar. I am so blessed to be alive to witness such an amazing performer and artist. Cheers to you Ben for giving us so many beautiful moments...and songs to remember them by.
it was AWESOME he did this crazy thing where he slide his guitar up and down his arm and stood up and looked fuckin insane and then for the last song he sang acapella without a mike and then all the instruments came in and now i can die happy XD
Outstanding!

his lyrics are childish. "the difference between gold and brass" is an analogy that a 5th grader would use. I wonder if he's ever read a good book

@gavilanchocolatero well at least he has a video and all you have is a stupid comment on youtube
"I wonder if he's ever read a good book" U sound like a No Good "Know it all" ...Peace Out
