The above article misses a date... Bath on May 24, which is the one I'll be attending!

Yeah shouldn't be a problem selling them.Brixton was £37.50 plus fees.
Have to admit I'm confused why the London date is so cheap - £30 so less than the other tour dates, and significantly less than the Ben Folds Five Brixton date (which was nearly £50 if I remember rightly).
As far as I know from old shows, Ben and Co didn't do the Misirlou bit for "Philosophy" because "Misirlou" was used in "Pyser" at least as far back as the WEEA shows. (There are some rare early versions of "Pyser", like the one that opens Spare Reels, where Ben plays a completely different solo during the middle section before "Misirlou" became standard.) "Misrilou" didn't show up in "Philosophy" until the solo tour. After that it became standard for solo *and* full band renditions. However, the coupling of the two resulted in Ben actually concluding at least a few 2008 performances of "Philosophy" with the ending of "Pyser" instead of returning to "Rhapsody." (He definitely did this when I saw him in Adrian, MI that year.)I think it's fair to say I defer to your greater knowledge.
