Ben Folds - Not the Same

[AtotheDamn]

sick version!

[hollium]

I love the version on the university a capella album! I can't stop listening to that on Spotify.

[petruswoo]

heh heh, benfolds that jokester :D

[Parkerman1700]

It was AMAZING at Fayetteville, he actually got the whole crowd into making a song type thing.

He used one hand to control the left side of the crowd, and the right hand to control the other.

[Ooooooooooooooooo595]

@Parkerman1700 Where Fayetteville?

[emimenman]

COOL

[Marshall7302]

this was cool. Its one of my favorite songs by just Ben Folds. (minus five) I LOVE it when regular pop groups who are talented them selves join with full orchestral accompaniment. To answer a the last question.. i think he was just playing with the audience cuz they were doing good.

[rachel24442]

he does it when he plays not the same, he has the audience sing that part every time he does the same thing with army its amazing especially bc most artists wont have the audience do anything at concerts ilovebenfolds

[towerdefense]

He's just being .................Ben Folds. (=

[popnutty]

@towerdefense :> I know , it's like stop being a show-off already and just play the damn song already. It's as if he's bored of performing his own songs for his fans or he's too egotistical for his own good and wants to play "teacher" like Jon Brion. Please, we like your music but stop making an ass out of yourself and get off your "high horse"!

[lilestfozzy]

@popnutty its not that he is bored but he is making it fun for him and the audience! i would love to be at that show to see how amazing this guy is! i play the piano and i don't think i will ever be able to play like him just because of how well he knows music!!!

[PreventChildObesity]

@popnutty Like lilestfozzy said, it has nothing to do with ego or being on a high horse. It's called audience interaction, and it used to be a major part of concerts back in the "folk generation". It's something fun for the audience, it adds to the song, and it adds to the experience. The way he was playing around at the end was just him enjoying his job and giving the audience a good laugh.

[iheartTheOfficexo]

This is soo cool.

This is my favorite song by him (:

[basedrummer06]

nice. that horn sounded amazing at 1:44

[singingslayer]

thanks to the lady making the video awkwardly singing with it :(

[skatardrummer]

I'm super jealous of that tambourine player.

[carahatestrig]

OH. MY. GOD. and I thought it was cool when i was singing in the crowd in NYC. we didn't have a symphony orchestra!! I'm so jealous!

[EPaps1316]

I consider you lucky, I heard him in the Niagra University gymnasium, still a great experience though. I went with a friend who also went to see Billy Joel later that year, and he said Ben Folds was a greater performer.

[istillheartherain]

this was amaaaaaaaaaaazing

[sylvioros]

SUPERBB(2b's)!

[ColdandComposed]

Ben Folds = Amazing. NICE seats by the way. I wish he'd do Orchestra gigs near me.

[skatardrummer]

For real man. He needs to get the DSO next time he comes to Michigan. Seriously.

[timmyj233]

This was such a great moment, he didn't even teach us the parts. It was really beautiful.

[bootsbomber64]

Augh person nearest to the camera is way off key when they do the Ahhhhhhhhhhh--->AHHHHHHHHHHH thingy where he conducts. its quite irritating. But Ben folds still kicks ass

[gerryiam]

right key, wrong notes :P still sounds awesome :D

[skatardrummer]

lol. It happens. If everyone was a spectacular singer, there would be no amazing singers or musicians and then Ben Folds wouldn't be anything special.

[mince07]

Was this is in Adelaide Australia? BF your the man!

[alibmohsin]

awesome, he's amazing thanx for the vid :)

[AndyWenman]

Oh yeah, I remember this!

[Sepharite]

Ben Folds is my God. Thanks for the vid~!
