Ben Folds will always have a space in my heart. His music was a big part of my teenage years. So to be finally able to say I saw Ben Folds Five live is a special thing. The band played a show a week before their Bonnaroo performance, but before that, they hadn’t played a show together in 13 years. That’s a long time.
They didn’t lose anything on the way. They weren’t too dramatic about it, just went along their business rocking out all of the classic jams that graced the ears of many a generation in the 90s. Ben Folds is always a pleasure to watch live, and the rest of the band seemed just as happy to be playing again.
Many great things to praise about these guys being back. But honestly, just being able to hear songs like “Brick”, “Army”, “Narcolepsy” was enough to put a smile on my face, sending me down a memory lane of sorts.
They got a new album on the way, so hopefully the good vibes keep on coming from BF5.
