Ben Folds
Okay, now one for my memories in the way I usually write concert reviews. :)
So, as usual I have an awful memory for setlists. I know I'm missing a few songs and the order is completely off. Not gonna try and fix it. I know Jesusland was like, the 2nd or 3rd song...
Annie Waits
Zak and Sara
Still Fighting It
Gone
Fred Jones Part 2
Gone
Losing Lisa
Not The Same
Bastard
You To Thank
Jesusland
Landed
Trusted
All You Can Eat
Learn to Live With What You Are
Bitches Ain't Shit
Brick
Such Great Heights
Boom. There it is. Or most of it.
Highlights:
Still Fighting It. Everyone was just so charismatic during this song. It rocked.
Fred Jones Part 2. Love, love, love. So lovely! <3
You To Thank. This was a fast favorite song of mine and I REALLY wanted to hear it. LOVE.
Jesusland. I love this song. It was so great live.
Landed. Soooooo lovely.
All You Can Eat. I love this song. Haha, I keep saying that. But really, I love it.
Bitches Ain't Shit. YES. SO happy to hear this. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
Brick. Awesome. Ben was by himself onstage and the whole crowd was singing along and it was just really lovely.
It was such a fun show. Ben Folds is so fun! He attempted to make us shit our pants with his synthesizer. One thing I loved was that he was randomly like, "There's a great reverb off these glass walls! Check it out!" and he waited until the crowd was dead silent before blasting the synth. Haha, and the reverb was cool.
I'm a big fan of singalongs, so everytime he stopped singing and looked out for the crowd to sing, it was awesome. I love that shit.
The three part harmonies he got us into at the end was my favorite thing of the whole show. Especially when he jumped up on the piano and started directing us and it got a bit ridiculous.
Considering that I'm pretty new as a Folds fan, I had SUCH a great time at this show. Ben is so wonderful. I can't wait until I get to see him again.
And yay at having seen all 3 of the Bens. :)
What a great end to the semester.
Edit: Oh and btw, cool pre-show music! Tom Waits - Going Out West. And Folds came on to The Final Countdown. LOVE THAT.
