Advantages: Seeing Ben Folds' talent as a live performer Disadvantages: Not enough favourites on there
...playing live is great, but seeing him as well is even better! Seeing his antics on stage will allow you to see another side to this multi-faceted character, a side I for one enjoyed seeing! By no means think that you will just be hearing songs exactly as they were on previous albums - Ben Folds adds a twist to the songs on this album that shows you an entirely different side to them, for example in Song for the Dumped on the DVD. Although the tracklist isn't as good as it could have been, Ben Folds Live is definitely worth it if you want to hear some great, witty, live piano rock performed by a true genius! The CD contains the songs: One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces, Zak and Sara, Silver Street, Best Imitation of Myself, Not the Same, Jane, One Down, Fred Jones Part 2, Brick, Narcolepsy, Army, The Last Polka, Tiny Dancer, Rock This Bitch...
