The show was a month ago, but I just realized these exist.  Some great HQ videos of Ben and yMusic performing for The Bridge in Kansas City.

Any show reports from last night?  I saw a FB post that said BF5 may have played Bitches Ain't Shit?!  Can't wait for the KC show tonight!

General Board / Ben predicted the future...

« on: December 29, 2011, 12:48:39 PM »

Saw this back in an old Rolling Stone article(http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/ben-folds-five-reunion-the-chemistry-is-back-20080918) when asking Ben about a Ben Folds Five reunion right before the Myspace gig..


As excited as Folds is to play with his old friends again, tonight's one-off show shouldn't be seen as a harbinger of a full resurrection of Ben Folds Five. "I kind of doubt it," he said of future collaborations. "If something natural comes along again, but I'm booked up for the next three years. Darren just put a new record out, and Robert's got a new baby. I don't think anybody's rushing to do that."

I guess it has been three years.

Tour Board / 10/22/2008 - Uptown Theatre - Kansas City, MO

« on: October 20, 2008, 08:14:00 AM »

Anyone else going?  I'm seriously pumped.  This will be my 20th show and the first true Ben show Kansas City has gotten in a while where it's not a festival or Ben's not an opener.  Since it's my 20th show I'm hoping it's like the Bears in Superbowl XX.  This show dominates all the previous 19 shows I've been to and then does the Superbowl Shuffle.  Actually, I'm hoping that Ben puts a picture up of Herm Edwards (Chiefs coach) during the opening to Effington so everybody laughs at our football team!

Sad news about some Ben Folds fans out of Wichita, KS.

The four on board, who included Ryan Biedron and John Rice, both 18, were returning home to Wichita from a Ben Folds concert in Tulsa, friends said. All three teens were seniors at Bishop Carroll High School.
