Ben Harper - Burn One Down (Live at Bonnaroo)

[@connormacalpine6714]

No one will ever be as happy as the man on the drum. :') Ever.

[@withpatience2010]

Have you ever seen Carter from Dave Matthew's band on the drums? I guess drummers get all the frustration out and have peace!

[@jojo-wo3ns]

He burnt one down

[@RisetotheBottom00]

Look at the drummer in the Aint No Sunshine video and try to say that again lol

This is 110% the best version of this song. Absolutely incredible and back when I was a freshman in college in 2009, it’s how I found out about bonnaroo and since then I have been 7 times and would have been more had life not gotten in the way. This song is so beautiful and important to me it’s unreal. Much love

[@Nazgul_Obituary]

Bro same, heard this freshman year in college 09... Such a good ass song!

[@captainbiberon4812]

This is the "festival/concert" I wish I could of been at of legal smoking age (19+) here; I'm jealous of you in the best way. Cheers.

[@norseman__]

Anyone else like this better than the studio version?

[@MrNofnway]

I like it better then dogecoin.

[@aliciaswanson7069]

Definitely

[@rickyhunt4075]

This has more of a reggae feel.

[@Patricksadie67]

Absolutely!

[@wakingdisaster8449]

I like this version a lot better then the studio version now its time for me to burn one down 😁

[@AlienEgo420]

Holy shit! This brings back some memories!! I was at Bonnaroo at this performance! And yes, I burnt one down during this song! I burnt many down! I have never seen so much smoke in one area in my life!! That was such a great weekend! Such a great artist! One of my favorites!!

[@tubeaddict871]

my bedroom on a nightly basis has more smoke i assure you

[@LaymansLinguist]

Me too! I remember Ziggy coming out with him and the cloud just got bigger.

[@spacewrangler68]

I was there.

[@lauragunn247]

I went to a slightly Stoopid show that was indoors and omg the smoke 🤣🤣 ppl were even pulling out bongs and passing blunts the to band while they played. It was great

[@Cute_Dogs453]

Greek Theater, Griffith Park, L.A. 2006 Ben with Damian Marley opening. Leon came out at the top of the amphitheater smoking a huge hogs leg of a joint drumming all the way down and to the stage. The cloud rose from the pit in an instant. Thing of beauty.

[@d0idivanas]

And the drummer is having the time of his life!

[@gekidosama]

I'm pretty sure that dude is the happiest guy in the universe.

[@Dr.Disrespect]

Greatest weekend of my life...hard to believe it was 14 years ago and I was 22

[@captainTubes]

omg bro 2002 I was there too, I feel the same. I wish I could go back u.u

[@gtabanjo8476]

+Stephen Roberts I was 18 and about 2 weeks out of high school. That first year was epic.

[@shindyneutral1319]

So greatness from that weekend 14 years ago got not beaten so far? ( i'm interested)

[@donnout]

@@shindyneutral1319 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤭

[@jeremykeenan3533]

I was 15!

[@mgourlay4818]

Ben Harper, Jack Johnson, & Neil Young back to back on Friday afternoon. That was Bonnaroo in its glory days.

[@AlienEgo420]

Agreed! I was there during this performance. I haven't been since 2007. Used to go every year until 2007. Now it's gotten more mainstream. There are only a handful of bands that play there now worth seeing. The rest? No thanks!

[@VisitPuntaGorda]

Some amazing memories from 2003

[@williambaugus927]

Damb right

[@courtnims2583]

Sunday Ween!!

[@thehalokidster]

This guy done the impossible and wrote a 'sincere' song about weed! it's a piece of art!

[@andream49]

I LOVE how happy the bongo drummer is! His smile is priceless

[@danhazing3832]

+Andrea M same

[@TheTheRandomShow1234]

Andrea M djimbe player, those are not bongos

[@goatitisful]

This was the version I smoked to in the woods with friends during lunch in high school. Graduated 2006.

[@ThePotpixi]

I am in love with the drummers smile every time I watch this I cannot help but break out in a tearful smile of pure powerful joy. That smile alone could save the world! This song is beyond awesome.

[@tonytoneradio]

We were there! 18 years old, just graduated high school and fully immersed in the music!

[@owenowens3457]

“ fully immersed “ 👌

[@5winder]

God bless everyone who's burning one down... the good Lord gave us the good herb --- to save us from alcoholism, drug OD's --- and cancer.

[@blucat4]

Yes! And the most terrible affliction of all - taking life seriously!! 😄

[@tim7roy]

I was there - sitting in the back, shaded from the 95 degree heat, enjoying the show with my brother and sister, taking the man's advice :)

[@LipitzanerStallion29]

Damn my boy can play that drum like nobodies business and man do I love that slap happy shit eatin grin, he must a been soooo baked, man I loves it!

[@ammcroft]

This song came to my head yesterday. I listened to this song so many times in highschool. This brings back the memories. Wow...We are old! These were the days.

[@strummergurl66]

Very awesome live version of Burn One Down :)~~~~ totally love the dude playing Djembe...he ROCKS!

[@julesklein2267]

Anyone know his name?? Love his energy

[@ramseyproductions2720]

forever grateful for my dad showing me ben harper

[@r__b6095]

That drummer is a phenomenon

[@klarrisapilon]

Still a gem of a song and I still listen to it today 💜

[@wilhelmhesse1348]

Just two people on stage making the best music ever! Ben Harper = Legend

[@sed715]

one of my favorite performances from that weekend!

[@WebKilledRadioStar]

Burn one down Benny! You were awesome at your Brisbane accoustic show. You bring such joy and life through your music.

[@duneduder]

A joyous drummer, and an anthem of a song...

[@blungazz]

The drummer is cool to watch. So happy.

[@MrNofnway]

I'll take one of whatever he's having please!

[@sunshinzmommie1]

I really like this song and I find a double meaning in the lyrics :) Not only is it, obviously, a song about smoking the glorious green, but also about our natural rights as humans....we should all practice these rights without waiting for them to be given to us by some government. Freedom, it is a state of mind.

[@dh2890]

Yoooo I listened to this and found the 2nd meaning to. 11 years later. Peace playa

[@Chriscuitz]

First thing I did when I heard Colorado and Washington legalized it was turn this song on. Thanks for getting the ball rolling...

[@contactkeithstack]

damn this was amazing. Christmas morning, it feels like a nod to Bradley Nowell. Much missed.

[@bucksman56]

Ben and the bongo player Rock! Great song!

[@titletowngaming8691]

Anybody else at this show? What a great time that whole weekend was.

[@anthonytruman]

I wish I was. Looking forward to the next bonnaroo!
