He is amazing! I definitely recommend seeing Ben Folds. If you are a fan of his or just a fan of music, it will amaze you. He could of played forever and I would have sat there content till the end of forever!!!
Ben Folds with his piano was amazing! He was on, as usual and played a wonderful show- full of energy and as always involved with the crowd.
Last night, Ben Folds brought the house down - as he always does. Like a fine wine, he seems to only improve with age!!! It's rare in today's music industry that a performer entertain so effortlessly - no pyro, no dancers, no gimmick needed. Ben, his piano, his unmistakable voice and lyrics, his humor - just pure, raw talent! Need I say more?! His musical genious never fails to amaze me...I could honestly listen to him every day!
Great show magnified by a great venue...Ben Folds never disappoints.
I've been to three concerts of Mr. Ben Folds. My first was pretty good. second- unforgettable. the third one--last nights-- amazing, Ben was so connected with his audience and played some obscure songs that i absolutely love, such as Give Judy My Notice and Time. Real Ben Folds fans really would've enjoyed the show.
Excellent...great mix of songs and nice intimate environment
The old Ben is back, knocking out numbers from album one to the present and with the sarcastic and quick wit that makes him the superb performer he is.
My 4th time seeing Ben Folds. He always puts on a great show. The only thing I would have preferred was a different venue- I hate sitting during shows.
This show was amazing. I have never seen Ben Folds live and was blown away by his ability to captivate an entire theater as he pounded away on the piano and drums. He even had the audience sing along at one point. The venue Town Hall was quaint and beautiful, and had a real homey feel. I will definitely be seeing him again! xoxo
First time seeing him play, and I really enjoyed it!
I've seen him live before, but, he just gets better. And the band that opened up for him were fantastic!! we even bought her CD. Such talent. What a night.
Folds is a bit of a musical genius so the music is great...but his on stage persona, honesty and sense of fun bring everything up a notch. No big support band here. He played piano, sang and did a bit of accapella sound work on the mike. Warm up singer and guitarist joined for "You Don't Know Me". Other than that it was just Ben & Piano, which was wonderful because he knows his music and it's timing and sounds live just like he does on his recordings (which is unfortunately rare in this day of studio mixing).
I had the best time!!! He really is amazing, he was funny and really got you into the music, even if I didn't know the songs they were all my favorite when hearing them live.
Ben was amazing - go see him any chance you get. Fantastic show.
Great show. Unique. Played a good mix of songs. Lots of stories and audience participation.
So awesome. Ben is an amazing performer, whether you know his music or not. Had such a great time.
Ben Folds has never put on a bad show! If he comes to a town near you, see him!
This was my fifth Ben Folds and each show continues to be better than the last. Folds is very engaging with the audience. If I had the time and money, I would follow Folds on tour. Absolutely see this show if possible!
Great show. Ben Folds never disappoints. We had great seats right behind his back so we were able to watch his madman hands.
Yet again Ben Folds delivers an upbeat, yet emotionally moving live performance. If you've seen him with the band you certainly know that they can rock the house but if you've never seen him in his most natural state - a man with a piano - then you are missing out. He has an honest, natural talent like no other.
