This is- no exaggeration- my favorite live performance of all time. By anyone. Of any song. Ever. Seriously. I can't get over it. It's just so freaking emotional and powerful. I've seen it many many times and get sucked in every time. Thank god for the reunion- maybe they'll tour and I'll get to see it live in person. Here's hoping.
I love how Ben always has one foot back like that; is the piano such a wild beast to harness?! He has the energy and enthusiasm of great ragtime performers. One of the great songwriters for sure.
Hey guys, I'm sure that americasayslol is just way too underground for any of us to appreciate. We wouldn't have even heard of any of the incredible indie music *he* listens to.
Just another useless, arrogant hipster, no doubt.
@americasayslol Fuck you... you sorry fucking coward. I like the way you did this without respond back @ me so it appeared to others that you stood your ground. Nice one coward! I'd like to slap the dick out of your mouth.
He didn't sell-out you dumb fuck. You don't even know what the fuck sell-out means. Your username obviously suggests that you notice/copy trends and brandwagon statements... & decided to use one of the most thrown around statement most bands eventually hear.
@americasayslol Wait... did you say he works for a corporation to make mediocre music for mediocre people??? Holy shit!! LMAO!!! WTF??? You are a true 100% "hard-to-find' Grade-A, RETARD! Yeah, I know that I want my Corperation to be mediocre too!! LMAO... all corperations strive to sell mediocre product. HAHAHA.. You fucking idiot!
Tell your mom she's a strong woman. Spoon/breast-feeding a 33 yr. old RETARD has to get old!
you must be a young (spiritually) douchebag who thinks ALL ben folds is gold. You will wake up one day. realize whats art and whats not. Maybe take the time to find out who is just trying to make money and who is actually pourin out their heart. Your username shows how disrespectul you are and your words towards me are rude (though i admit i was rude myself by implying you were mediocre i apologize) but anyways, im going to go listen to some 13th floor elevators.cya lata
@americasayslol Your last comment really made me appreciate how special you are. However, it's not my fault your mom huffed drugs, ate paint chips, sucked HIV infested dicks, and snorted heroin from toilet bowls while pregnant with you; I had nothing to do with that.
However, if you want to talk music, I'll be to glad to share my meaningful and intelligent insight with you. Also, I'd take notes if I were you. But, until then, I'll be glad to simply teabag your comments anytime.
@americasayslol DID YOU REALLY JUST AGREE WITH SOMETHING & THEN TRY TO....ARGUE IT???? WTF????
ANY BEN FAN KNOWS THAT EVEN THOUGH THE SOUND, MOOD, AND DIRECTION CHANGED WHEN BEN FOLDS FIVE SPLIT-UP, HE IS STILL THE SAME GUY WRITING/PERFORMING THE SONGS; HE IS JUST MORE MATURE.
HOWEVER, I CAN'T LIE; IT TOOK ME ABOUT 9 YEARS TO GET OVER THE BREAK-UP TOO.
SO, LIKE I SAID---BEN FOLDS IS THE BEST SONGWRITER/PERFORMER EVER! I'LL TEABAG THE SHIT OUT OF ANYONE WHO SAYS DIFFERENT!
@americasayslol He was a business man then too; what does that have to do with anyhing? The entertainment industry is a business and he's a man; good work detective!
This DVD is butter tits!

To the fellas below, I understand your frustrations.
But.....people get older. You.....me....all of us.
Not easy playing on the road, being on a bus, that gets
old, it brings divorces, alienation. Being in a band is
cool in your 20.s, but not a simple situation at all.
