I have waited years to see Ben Folds in concert, and the House of Blues was the perfect venue. He and his band have so much energy and love to get the audience involved. The setlist was a good mixture of new songs as well as older material that everyone loves. I will jump on the chance to see Ben Folds again whenever he comes back to my neck of the woods.
Ben Folds never disappoints! This was a phenomenal show. Ben played a lot of his old songs and threw a solo set in there which was really cool to hear. He even played "One Down" and "The Secret Life of Morgan Davis" (the latter I had never heard). Awesome performance.
Ben Folds was so cool. His piano technique was so amazing and his performance was so passionate. One regrettable thing is that, people in bar counter were sometime noisy.
Ben Folds and fellow musicians gave a spectacular performance--a high energy, non-stop concert. I stood up front, which is fortunate since I'm somewhat less than tall. I loved the different percussion instruments used. The House of Blues made a good venue for him.
Ben was Awesome as Always.The sound mix was good.However the complete lack of seating @ H.O.B. Las Vegas was a little disappointing.
It was amazing the crowd was great and they played for like 2 hours non stop. Toatlly Recommend going to see him!
Ben Folds, as usual, played a fantastic performance. Venue is relatively small and the atmosphere was great. Only complaints: anyone under 21 could NOT stand by the stage and instead had to sit down up on the second floor (the view was still perfect though).
