Saw him last night again, what an amazing show. Any other Ben devotees on here? I think he's the best American singer/songwriter of the last generation. Should be a huge star, and I can't figure out why he's not. He played for 2.5 hours straight without and a break and then came out for a 3 song encore. He's the most enjoyable live performer, consistently, I've ever seen. High energy, fun, and musically brilliant.

Simply put, Ben is the man.

I forgot I had tickets to see him in Brum in two weeks time. Looking forward to it, will be the 6th or 7th time now.

Need to have a long hard listen to Lonely Avenue in preparation.

Anyone looking for an entry point, I'd recommend Ben Folds Live and Songs for Goldfish if you can find it (it was a special edition second disc from Songs for Silverman)

Is he on in Lpool . I wouldnt mind going ???
 
I think it's great everyone has different suggestions for good entry points. I think that says a lot about his output. Every record has a least a few real classics.

I hadn't give Lonely Avenue as many plays as I should have. For me "Picture Window", "Doc Pomus", "From Above", Claire's Ninth" and "Belinda" are the winners.
 

Yeah he rocks. Love [Poor language removed], landed and jesusland. Might check him out if he's coming near me and im in the country.
