I used to be a BIG Ben Folds Five fan... I think Ben Folds is immensely talented and I loved their style of music and the fun that went with it. I had their first two albums, saw them live in manchester in 96, didnt get the one about the army and havent yet got his solo album. So imagine my suprise when in HMV on Friday I spotted a NEW Ben Folds Live album! Apart from the fact that it had a free live DVD in the box too (which is amazing! his rendition of Elton's Private Dancer - one of my favourite songs ever is awsome!), there is a live cd with 17 tracks spanning mostly his more recent material - well what did i think of it - ITS AMAZING!!! Why oh why did i not get his latest material before!?!?! There is one song called "Not The Same" where he gets the audience to do the backing choir sounds and its brilliant!

 

Ben Folds you are a genius - please keep going!!

 

:P

did you ever hear the song air (it was on some soundtrack) i like that one........ and i have Whatever And Ever Amen........i liked brick. when was that *ginger's thinking* its seems like a long time ago.

yes air is amazing - BB is amazing - there must be room for Ben and his piano in your room!! :lol:
