In the footsteps of Pearl Jam, Ben Harper plans on making a large number of his live performances available to the public. Harper has gone as far to say that practically every live performance may be available. Harper has access to the tapes and they are all categorized and organized in a library so all a fan has to do is write in and request the specific show of their choice. There is no specific date as to when this project will launch, but in the meantime Harper will soon be embarking on a summer tour with Jack Johnson.
