Never have I heard or seen talent at the piano quite like the way Ben Folds pounds it out. Not only can he jam out on the piano, he also has the ability to master the drums and the bass guitar.
He gets the audience involved, asking them to sing part of the harmonies during some songs, which makes it fun.
After singing the two songs he wrote about his twins, Gracie and Louie, when they were born, he had them come out to the stage and we (the audience) got to sing "Happy Birthday" to them while they each got a cake. It was incredibly cute.
He sang a Ke$ha song, which was hilarious, after telling us a story about how she dived into a pool yesterday night in LA to retrieve his cell phone after he threw it in to the deep end.
He kept telling us how awesome his bass player, Ryan Lerman (who was incredibly hot), was and brought his name up several times in order for us to remember him.
He sang "Hiroshima (B B B Benny Hit His Head)" in Japanese.
I'm always left feeling amazing after leaving a Ben Folds show (even though, really I've only seen two). It's not everyday you get to see one of your favorite artists show their true talent on the stage and I think the only way anyone could ever really understand is if they themselves experienced it.
I didn't take any pictures, mostly because I hate trying to multitask during a concert. I like to just stand there, dance, and sing along. But here's a picture of Ben Folds anyway!
