During the summer of 1997 Benjamin played a handful of gigs in the eastern half of the United States. This footage is from a show he did at Quincy Raceways in Quincy, Illinois, on August 9, 1997. If you look carefully at about 44:55, you can see my podcast partner (white t-shirt, hat on backwards) climb the stairs on the left to watch the band from the wings. Lucky dog!
