Akae Beka at Miners Foundry, Nevada City | Rockers Movement 

My man RIP❤ Your gifts have not gone unaccounted for. I gave birth to my son with MIdnite playing throughout my labor. Blessed ❤️‍🔥💫

I was fortunate enough to work with Vaughn and his brother Ronnie. Growing up with their music from the Midnite days had a very big influence on me. But to be in the presence of Vaughn (Akae Beka) and to talk to him 1 on 1 has been the most powerful and spiritual experience of my life.

What can i say about THIS King words cannot explain ...He was on another level

The Prophet walked amongst us. We were and have truly been blessed to be able to listen, visit, and learn. Word, Sound, and Power is real. Rest In Paradise...!!! Peace, Love, and Respect...!!!

Ancestors are watching.. Vaughn is there watching as life continues to flow Like Rhyme..Roll call fi Lion🎶

Am 79 yrs.old female atheist, but if there is a hereafter, I hope to hear Akae Beka for the remainder of the hereafter.

R.I.P legend, as a reggae lover, I'm ashamed that until recently I missed this indescribable experience from his text.. it's true and deep. the whole band is one well-oiled machine, unbelievable. I can't get enough of this music. greetings from the Czech Republic

I forget about my worst problems when listening to Vaughn's voice and his teachings. Jah bless reggae music forever!

Revisiting Midnite tonight from remembering the song "new life" after talking with my wife about our first child she is bearing, realizing what an impact this band had on me when I used to see them play live every month or two an listened to them daily. 15 years later it is feeling so good to hear them again. I think this is the medicine for me right now 🙏🏽

I could listen to this groove all night. How he just sang through the melodies. The longest meditation. Peace.

Listening to this today stirs so many emotions. Was such an upful night. I had so much fun mixing this show as we had so much analog gear at miners foundry outboard gear I knew well and knew we would accomplish the new sound of Akae Beka. I recalled someone during soundcheck telling me he had heard that the Akae Beka sound was a little different than Midnite and I smiled and asked how. He said it was a bit more jazzy and had a lot more effects. I said let me know your thoughts later tonight after the show and he did come by the desk later and asked if we were recording as he would love a copy. I said I was recording and would share it when I got a moment. I was gifted the video by a long time brother and fan of Midnite. So I added the mix to the video and gifted it to the world here on RU-vid. So much gratitude for you Arch Angel. You changed my life in so many ways. Thank you for the many lessons you were a giant amongst us. Rastafari liveth.

You don't listen to reggae. You feel reggae ❤🙏Rest in Power Akae Beka

this is one of the cleanest mixes I have heard of Akae Beka/midnite Live shows...

........A totality of a different feeling of Music yes I have listened to Reggae but Midnite its just different....Word Sound and Power

I was so saddened to hear about Vaughn's passing; a true loss for the music community and the world at large, and most importantly for all those whom he personally touched with the music and the message. I'm sure many on this concert might have been delighted to being treated to a spontaneous hang with Vaughn after the show and the way he loved to hold court on the street, sitting on the curb [or wherever] and just kickin' a vibe. We met as young men in St. Croix - I was passing by with a group for about 11 days and we met during our last night there - and continued to grow our bond in DC when he and Ronnie moved here. The music took us on different paths and we saw each other less in the last 20 years. I built a family and was on the road for much of the time, as was he. He had that mission that he held so dear. No matter how much time went by we always connected like brothers and the distance always evaporated immediately. I'm proud to call him my friend. R.I.P. beautiful brother.

Jah Love Unite!!! Seems crazy to me that 382 people would thumbs down this beautiful message of love unity and peace, unfortunately shows the direction of USA...

Rest in peace, today is the saddest day of my life thank you for providing amazing moments in my life, your voice will never be silent look around us zion

I hae personally watched this around 100 times now. I LOVE this man. He is calming me, making me smile, making me cry, making me happy with his beautiful soulful music... it's sad he left this world so early. What an outstanding artiste. ONE LOVE and massive respect Vaughn Benjamin aka Akae Beka.

Still listening everyday the sun returns to the east welcome to the lion place new day I lift my arms in gratitude jah love akae beka

Happy to see that Akae Beka wasn't the ending of Midnite but a continuation of that legendary legacy.

I've had many spiritual moments listening to Vaughn Benjamin. He was like a beacon of light in the smallest and dirtiest clubs in D.C. Those who felt the music came from all over to witness the incredible energy and sound that emanated from his voice. I and I consider myself blessed to have stood in front of a true lion. Bless up Vaugh! 🙏🏼

I AM Shook at the sad news of Vaughn Benjamin's passing!...however... REST IN PEACE and POWER LION of JUDAH!...You are in the best hands now...however you will be missed in this Realm!... Thank you for the Music Medicine that you left behind for us still left to walk this Planet!... Peace Love and "LIGHT" 2U Forever!...

GOODNESS AND MERCY!!!!! MOST HIGH LOVE YOU BROTHER GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN BY THE RIGHTEOUS ONE'S- LOVE-

sadness abounds.. we were indeed privileged to have had him in our time

Love the way he lets the band express itself and feels the music, the bass line for sure, and the vibes generally. RIZ

Every Night! That Voice in my Sleep!

R.I.P. Vaughn Benjamin, your voice lives on, as does your legacy. 💕🙏🎵

......The Most Prolific Human Being to ever touch Earth

Will surely miss you prophet and teacher.. Roll call fe lion. Only Vaughn holds the mic in that unique style.. Selah!!

Bravo to the band for a job well done. Brother Bumpy, how nice it is to see and hear our white brothers embracing and adopting Reggae music with such Yaad feeling and vibe, which is the vehicle of bringing peace and tranquility to the nations of the earth.. Warms my heart!

Goodness and mercy delivered by the amazing Vaughn Benjamin, rest in Paradise now.

Repose en Paix Vaughn. Tu as été et restera un grand monsieur. Ta musique continuera comme celle de Bob à nous inspirer. Jah Bless

all six were fantastic. Rest in Zion Vaughn Such a direct ..

I can only give glory to the Lord the Most High, he took away a legend from us. You were a great one. Ak. B.K. RP

Blessings, 2 the bredgin...such an SPIRITUAL ENCOUNTER..IN ALL ASPECTS OF HEARKENING TO THE VOCALS OF HIS EXPERIENCE, IN WHICH IN TURN, IS ALL OF HUMANITY EXPERIENCE, WHETHER WE SHALL PERCEIVE IT OR NOT...BIG UP, ALWAYZ FIRE...BLESSINGS!

the legends are leaving us pure roots

Hmmm. This is my mix. I did the sound for this show. The console DID get unplugged because the Foundry still doesn't have a proper twist-locking power supply cable to the Front Of House. Maybe I should sponsor installing it myself. This isn't the first time this has happened...You can hear me adjusting the delay settings when the delay comes back on in it's saved setting. I digress...) I have MANY Midnite mixes from the first time they played the west coast at Sierra Nevada World Music Festival when it was in Angel's Camp,California, and I was the production manager and main stage ("Valley Stage") engineer. They played on the Village stage, which is the smaller one of the 2. Shaggy was on the main with about 35 people in front of him and there was about 4000 people in front of Midnite in an area that comfortably holds half of that. No disrespect to Shaggy, there was just that much of a buzz to see this band we had heard so much about. Thanks to Warren Smith for booking this kind of talent. I was very blessed to have done MANY Midnite and Akea Beka and Deserie shows over the years from my home town of Nevada City to the Belly Up, Aspen Colorado, Ragamuffins Festival at the Bill Graham Civic in SF, the Legends Of Reggae Festival at the Cruise Ship Pavilion in San Diego, Sierra Nevada World Music Festival at both Angels' Camp and Booneville, and of course, Reggae On The River, where I am the engineer for years. I am heart broken over Vaughn's passing. One of my favorite people in the Universe and a true brother. I guess I will have to post some of the files I have for the world to enjoy. Of note: Renegade Productions at River Ranch with the original line up, 2004, Tahoe Biltmore, 2005 with one of my favorite songs, Great Zimbabwe Walls, Truckee Amphitheater, 2005, The Independent, SF, 2005, with a great dissertation of David and Golliath in that version of Jah Is Holy. Some of these will be played on KVMR this Friday, 10/8 at 8:30 PST, (which you can get on the live feed online). Watch for those in the next few days, including this one without the camera sound mixed in for the crowd noise. Jah Bless Vaughn Benjamin. You will be missed my brother.

I didn't realize until today tat he passed away...I never heard anything in the media...I have a lump in my throat...God speed

Ron's absence is felt. He is also such a huge Presence.

Rip brother.you are a legend

awesome ...R.I.P brother...ur message will live till end of my life

30:05 "...Dont turn your face, from you know JAH, know JAH, show I a few more like I soulJAH..." Love to All the Fams writing here. Ilebrate with Joyful noise to the Life Giver HIM. JAH send the world another just like Vaughn Soul-JAH we pray. The works live for IvA.

Blessings! Truly have lost a soldier on the battlefield for Haile! Talked and shared a lol moment wit him several times here in Charleston SC The 1st and most memorable...we was giving thanks to Jah and I was so shocked to b chatting wit someone I listen to all day and everyday...he recognized the look on my face and we busted out lol. Great words of Beenieman.. Memories don't live like people do they will alway follow U! Much love and respect to Midnite and true fans!

Dec 28/2021, I watch this show often I enjoy it every time. Akae Beka my beautiful teacher.

Bless I brother! I was there, and at so many others to hear this human story and feel the sound. These are the celebrations that continue to inspire and lift us up to this day. When i first stood there and listened, it was a light in darkness. An honor to be in the room, and see all of those youth dancing at our feet. These are the lessons of reality that we miss in our public schools, and the true keys to lasting prosperity and a wholesome life. At my core, the human connection of this vibe is now a piece of who I am. The vibrations of sound are becoming so much more to know his physical body is now amongst us and his spirit within us all. But energy never dies. This is a movement, but THIS is the revolution. I AND I ARE BLESSED All humans, apply within 🔥👣

Politcals send to end this legandary's life among all the other great artists that are not here anymore as soon as the truth come out they want to seek world order i will never forget the one and only Vaughn Benjamin aka Akae Beka you legend will live on forever for the world know the truth may your soul find peace as you are in a better place now God Bless all the way from Aruba may youre music touch millions world wide thanks God used you as a instrument to teach one and another Bless I and I the most High Haile Selassi I
