Ben Folds Tickets

I have seen Ben before with backup musicians, but this was Ben and a piano, period. Any musician that can captivate and audience alone for over 90 minutes is a genius in my book. I would pay twice the amount of the ticket price to watch that again.

Great show. Lots of energy, opening act was good (Katie Miller) and Ben played a lot of fan favorites. Show was interactive and fun. Waited for three years to see him and was not let down! Also, he debuted a new song and played two other new ones.

Plain and simple, this is what I call a great artist with superior entertaining skills. I am very impressed by his performance as well as the special guest Kate Miller's opening. It was not just another concert but this is one of the most unforgettable concerts.

This was the best concert I've seen in recent history - possibly ever.

Piano show. Ben complained about his fingers turning into ground meat early in the set but it didn't affect the performance until about 75% of the way into the show. In fact, he was amazingly perfect---not a wrong note until late in the show. Three new songs. Two were smash hit quality. The third (Levi Johnson's blues) was funny but not a great song. Brought in opening act Kate Somebody for a duet on "You Don't Know Me". She obvioously hadn't rehearsed this song before today and didn't really "get" the song, but she did her own thing which was great but competed with ben instead of supporting him. He compensated by raising his energy on the song, but it didn't really work. A minus instead of Aplus like the rest of the set.

At times it was as if I was hanging out in Ben's living room and others an amphitheatre. So quite yet powerful. Its been way too long for me to have missed him all these years. I am not sure if he is this way most nights but the fact that he was performing @ Bloomington which has an amazing school of music, he spent some time explaining writing and chord progressions. Very informative. Do not miss Ben Folds - you may even want to pack up the minibus and follow him around the states. Bravo!!!!

This show was great. We were in the absolute front of the crowd, within 4 feet of Ben. What's more, we actually met him - he was staying in the hotel that was next to the HOB (which we were also luckily staying at). We ran into him in the elevator and got our picture with him. His bassist was a very nice guy (he took the pic). This happened shortly before the show - during the show, the bassist kept looking at us and smiling/ nodding. The setlist was very good - played alot of Way to normal, plus the alternate way to normal songs. Overall, very energetic. He did interact with the crowd a little, but not as much as in past shows.

I saw Ben Folds perform both at the Blue Note in Columbia and at Grinders in Kansas City. As always, Ben Folds puts on a great show....combining both his new music with his classic hits. Although you would never see a poor show, I was much more impressed with his Kansas City concert. In Columbia there was poor crowd involvment and Ben did not play as long becase of this lack of enthusiasm. In Kansas City, he played for at least two hours and everyone in the audience was actively participating in the concert.

First-Ben Folds at the Blue Note was not the case-it was in the middle of 9th street closer to broadway. The concert was fantastic. The opening act-was a little of an odd choice (english folk singers) but they were cute-so maybe that was what Ben was going for. Regardless, it was a concert that showcased what Ben was best at-entertaining the crowd and playing a mean piano. The band members were great-with the bass player being the standout. Very young crowd-it was great seeing them enjoy Ben-who I have enjoyed since Naked Baby Photos.

This concert was a great time! The atmosphere was awesome and ben folds really made sure the audience had a great time.

This was one of the best concerts that I have ever been to. Ben Folds is such a great performer, he really seems to genuinely enjoy playing. The band played for about two hours, even through the rain (which Ben wrote a song about on the spot). I had a great time at this show and would highly recommend seeing Ben Folds live if you haven't before.

Ben Folds is the man. I saw him in STL a couple years ago when he opened for John Mayer and he was really good so I was excited to see him again as the headliner. He just brings so much energy to his concerts and it is great how he involves the crowd as well. Since his concert I have listened to his music even more and have gotten more into it. His combination of guitar and drums with the piano and the occasional tambourine makes for a very unique sound. I would definitely go see him again.

I love Ben's sense of humor, and his music is top notch. It rained a little on the outdoor show, but nobody particularly cared. He sang us a hilarious made-up tune "It's going to rain in Columbia tonight..." There were some great, fun audience participation moments. He played a nice long set full of familiar songs from throughout his career, and did several from his latest album. Very, very entertaining. Look forward to seeing him again, as this was my first time.

The Ben Folds at 9th street in Columbia was great. We were very close to the stage and the feeling was of a personal concert. The sound was great and the fact that the show was outdoors was a total plus.

Ben Folds always puts on a spectacular and stunning show. His music is so energetic. He is truly a master on the piano. I always have an amazing time at each of his concerts, and I don't think there is a price that could keep me from going. If you love Ben Folds, you must go. If you like Ben Folds, you must go. If you just like a good time and an awesome concert, you must go.

Ben IS best solo or with professional studio musicians. The keyboardist in the back right corner was awful and even overshadowed Ben's piano bridges and fine riffs often. Ben was seen trying to quiet his drummer to no avail and the basist (Robert Sledge?) new the older tunes and ok to bad on the new. I am a huge Ben Folds fan!!! Just drop the "5" and I know that Ben and only his Baldwin Grand are the BEST anywhere!!!

My husband and I have been wanting to see him for ten years! It was so much fun! And, House of Blues was the perfect venue.

This was my third time seeing Ben Folds and he has still yet to disappoint me. He plays very well and usually has some pretty good jokes scattered between songs. He will take requests if he feels like playing the particular song someone shouts out. The only disappointing thing about the show was that people kept talking during songs, and it made the songs he played by himself hard to hear.

Ben Folds was absolutely AMAZING! Unlike some other artists, he is better live than recorded, if that's possible. He kept things fun and upbeat with improv that you can't hear on an album.

Great concert! Involved the crowd a lot. Great music.
