It's rare to see a rock concert where the lead singer is dripping blood all over his instruments, but the last time I saw Ben Kweller was the Austin City Limits (ACL) Music Festival in 2006. He appeared on stage 10 minutes late and explained to the roaring crowd of more than 30,000 that paramedics where working on him backstage to stop a nose bleed. Well, the paramedics where not successful, because within a few minute into his first song, his nose began to bleed again. He was not able to finish his set.
Anyway, the performance at the Kennedy Center was not nearly as dramatic. The main Concert Hall was packed with a mix of families, and Kweller groupies. Ben played a mix of ballads and his popular rock songs.
To my disappointment there was no mosh pit anywhere in the Concert Hall.
