Performing with Pearl Jam last Thursday on the eve of Lollapalooza, and later headlining Day One with his own Innocent Criminals, the award for Most Dedicated Performer goes to Ben Harper. Need more evidence? On Day Three, Harper performed two songs solo on the kids' stage after flying to Baltimore on Day Two to perform at the Virgin Festival. Speaking to Spinner backstage, Harper admitted that his hectic weekend left him no time for his avid skateboarding hobby. Adding insult to injury, a few of his Pearl Jam buddies went skating over the weekend.

Nevertheless, Harper talked up his collaborations with his fellow rock veterans PJ, saying the two thus far were informal and unplanned. Just hours away from Pearl Jam's festival-closing set tonight, Harper said he hopes to sit in on their set -- particularly on the song 'Indifference." "I'm pushing for it from my end," he said.
