Check out this amazing, never-before-seen footage of Big People kicking ass at the Rockin' the Hills festival at the Wild Rose Amphitheater in Bottineau, North Dakota. The band took the stage on Saturday, July 1, at 2:15 pm. Ben's health was declining and he was losing weight rapidly, but his attitude was strong and he was still jamming like a true rocker!
This footage was generously given to me by Joe Dlearo, and is shared here with permission. There is more to come as we approach the 22nd anniversary of this incredible bit of Big People history, so please stay tuned.
Did you know there is a Big People Facebook group? It mainly serves as a centralized collection site for all information, photos and memorabilia of the band, as well as biographical tidbits and current happenings of the various members. Join here: groups/remem...
