Ben Harper’s Aug. 4 concert in Los Angeles will be the subject of the DVD “Live at the Hollywood Bowl,” due Nov. 18 from Virgin. The performance was filmed by directorial team the Malloys, who have previously shot videos for Avril Lavigne, Metallica and the Black Eyed Peas. Their clips for Harper’s “Diamonds on the Inside” and “With My Own Two Hands” are included on the DVD.
