I own all the live dvd’s out by Ben Folds and this is another fantastic volume in the collection. This one is certainly special because he is performing in his own studio. The small twists thrown in there give it a light hearted fun filler! Anyone who enjoys a small piano and honest lyrics should give this a try. Since this was performed on myspace, it provides a new generation with Ben Folds.

Overall anyone who is a fan, this is a must. Anyone who does not know him (where have you been?), should check out Ben, he is a excellent artist for a time of crappy hacks and followers.

This is a fantastic treat for Ben Folds fans.

The set list is wonderful and does not rely too heavily on his standards; No Brick, no Song For The Dumped or Best Imitation Of Myself, and that is fine by me. I would have loved to see Landed or Late added to the set list ; but that is a minor complaint. Really it’s not even a complaint, really. Ben is in fine form, his band is fantastic. The audience is into it. They also become part of the show a few times. (Check out the “ringtone orchestra”). The reason this one gets a one star demerit is for the terrible acting, both with “titler” and the guy who “jumps” from the balcony. I like zany, but both of these “scripted” elements didn’t work for me, and took me right out of the show.

That being said, you should get it for the music. You should get it because Ben Folds knows how to write fantastic songs. You should get it because it’s Ben Folds

Definately one for the DVD Archive. Not only is it a first for the myspace live concert experience its also an exceptional performance by a truly incredible artist. Ben Fold in my opinion is one of a very few artists from out generation that is able to truly entertain a crowd with just a piano, bass and drum.

I bought this dvd as a gift for a office Christmas exchange and the recipient seemed to appreciate it.
