[SexReflex]

[momusicbranson]

[professionallewis]

This song kicks all the ass.

[cco43]

Playing this song must be a fucking workout.

[PoseidonHestia3]

[wajimataka]

フジロック12!! カモン！

[krisztin2]

Was this the last song of the gig?

Looks like Ben is a hurry : )

[DeViLzzz2006]

I often tear up listening to his music. There is so much emotion and so much feeling in his music mixed in with unbelievable musical talent. I can't believe he is this good.

[jmcieslak0]

No one takes command of a piano like Ben Folds. Goddam he's so good on this song it almost makes me angry.

[ovinophile]

Sometimes I have dreams where I can sit at a piano and play as effortlessly as Ben Folds.

[PoseidonHestia3]

@PoseidonHestia3 look whos callling who creepy

[PoseidonHestia3]

@PoseidonHestia3 sorry if we dont agree, but im not creepy!!

[HeuristicThought]

[HeuristicThought]

straight up a very good band.

[robmanmusic]

[BSNewsandStories]

As a dwarf, this song is awesome

[derekdamned1]

[tweakedoutllama]

SEPTEMBER 75...

[baritonbassie]

Voor de Nederlandse liefhebbers: VanVelzen speelt dit ook :)

Ik zou willen dat ik zo kon spelen. Helaas dat zit er voorlopig nog niet in :P haha

[ptje1971]

@baritonbassie: leuk voor van Velzen dat tie een poging waagt :)

[Gretgor666]

pretty good!

[rbegenov]

this sounds like hyped Jamiroquai!

[Dragonfly6673]

He is real genius.

[derekdamned1]

amazing

[Beatboxkid01]

ben folds has magic in those fingers

[lakewater00]

omg he's so young and handsome! even though he still is.

[caboolturescumbag]

fucken prime example of making a song kick twice as much ass as it normally do. play it twice as fast........ theres another on here at an outdoor event and he kicks ass there too....

[smitty73100]

only video ive seen with 0 dislikes

[jburgess04]

@smitty73100 Seriously. Even the most amazing videos on YouTube have a few dislikes. This performance commands (and demands) respect.

[mrbolovski]

@smitty73100 i never understand dislikes , they obviously know the tune, which ever they are playing, i dont go here and type in shite i dont like!

[meesbroersen]

@smitty73100 1 dislike.. TROLOLOL

[Joozt112]

Yeah!!!

[murderousbastard83]

Jessee is playing too fast, as most drummers do live. But they still sound fucking incredible live.

[jed6195]

My goal in life as a musician is to one day be able to do this song in it's entirety

[kdheithaus]

runaway tempo ... it makes me feel frantic

[imshippyupup]

Not enough bass. That's why Ben sucks now. He left a rhythm section who kept him from being a pathetic writer.

[kettner3000]

@imshippyupup Oh go back to listening to Limp Bizkit and Nickleback you uptight faggot. Ben's fucking phenomenal and you can only hope to have half the talent he does.

[imshippyupup]

@kettner3000 Idiot.

[rhcp500]

almost all of his best songs sound better with just him and a piano.

[TheOnlySDF]

@rhcp500 correct good sir.

[snapperz716]

@rhcp500 there are some songs that are great with him and a piano, but almost all of his best songs are with this band.

[Herletters1216]

This song is just a big ole FUCK YOU and i love it!

[phillipotato]

this is too fast

[yankashar]

GREAT!

[kylewithbeard]

Uh, nobody in the audience get crazy, not even a slight headbanging. Were they given some kind of drug before the show?

[dougsusername]

@kylewithbeard it looks like it was filmed for a tv show, and when bands perform on TV unless it's outside they usually tell the audience to keep it down, mic-ing issues I presume.

[MrNigelH]

This is a very good performance, but if you watch closely, it seems as though the video is playing slightly faster than real time. I've seen this performance from the DVD and don't remember it being that fast.

[starfoxz13]

@MrNigelH naw its normal hes just THAT good

[AnarchalPatriarch]

@MrNigelH At the beginning it's maybe 0.2 seconds behind, judging from the sound of the cymbals.

[q0zi]

I know Ben is incredible at playing the piano, but I never gave enough credit to Robert and Darren. Damn they could play and sing as well.

Prime example: 3:25

[q0zi]

Could someone sync the video with the audio?

[NoFearNoFlame]

HOLY SHIT! How does he play piano like that?!?

[BowProStudios]

@NoFearNoFlame Simple, he's Ben Folds. Truly one of best pianists I've ever seen.

[killerfurball]

@NoFearNoFlame because he is not a mortal man

[1demonicapple]

@NoFearNoFlame

He used to be a percussionist you know?

[SoberKennedy]

@1demonicapple ...and a fucking excellent one, too. He's also an amazing bass player, believe it or not.

[upyoursize]

@NoFearNoFlame He's actually playing with his penis. It's invisible.

[Mazun]

@upyoursize piano wankin'

[NoFearNoFlame]

@upyoursize greatest reply so far to my comment

[meesbroersen]

@NoFearNoFlame like a boss.

[GregThePanda]

@NoFearNoFlame idk, but as a piano player everytime i listen to one of his songs i feel of mix of horny and suicidal

[aloysiaweber1]

They are such excellent musicians. How I loved Ben Folds Five back in the day. Thank you for posting this. Very good quality!

[AntiTraci]

Greatest band to come out of the 90's!!!!! Distorted bass? No guitar? I Luv IT!!!

[2010profile]

Very good quality video, Awesome song, variations from the original, and they all performed very well. Thank you for posting the DVD.
