Sorry, yes the whole thing's on youtube but "unlisted", the other 2 didn't feel that their performances were up to snuff (a few mistakes here and there and Glenn wasn't overly thrilled with his vocals throughout) so I don't know if I should risk posting the direct link to it. They didn't want "Selfless" to be out there but... there you go.

Unsure how active this board is but I wanted to spread this around so enough 'fans' see it. A few weeks ago, some friends and I got together to perform an hours worth of Ben Folds Five in my home of Perth, Western Australia. I had a bunch of cameras running and have just finished editing the show. Here's Uncle Walter: https://youtu.be/Ua6GWlHpSwY

Setlist performed:
One Angry Dwarf
Philosophy
Uncle Walter
Don't Change Your Plans
Selfless, Cold & Composed
Jackson Cannery
Best Imitation Of Myself
Battle Of Who Could Care Less
Alice Childress
Michael Praytor 5yrs Later
Kate
Julianne
Army
Song For The Dumped
Underground

Hope ya'll dig it! This was a result of 2 rehearsals

What better way to honor Ringo Starr than with an all-star cast? That’s just what fans will get with The Lifetime of Peace & Love Tribute Concert, a new album due on Dec. 4.
Recorded as part of a 2014 tribute concert and celebration sponsored by the David Lynch Foundation in Los Angeles, the bill includes Joe Walsh, Ben Harper and Starr himself offering new interpretations of some of his most famous songs as a solo artist and with the Beatles.
Also featured are Ben Folds, the Head and the Heart, Ark Life, Brendan Benson and Bettye LaVette, performing with a house band that included Peter Frampton, Steve Lukather, Kenny Aranoff and Benmont Tench of the Heartbreakers. Walsh is Starr’s brother-in-law, and Lukather is a current member of Ringo’s All-Starr Band. Starr has also previously worked with Harper. You can see the complete track listing below.
Starr received the Lifetime of Peace & Love Award that evening. Proceeds from Ringo Starr: The Lifetime of Peace & Love Tribute Concert will benefit the David Lynch Foundation, which helps fund transcendental meditation in schools.
‘Ringo Starr: The Lifetime of Peace & Love Tribute Concert’ Track Listing
Ark Life, “Can’t Do It Wrong”
The Head and the Heart, “Octopus’s Garden”
Brendan Benson, “Don’t Go Where The Road Don’t Go”
Bettye LaVette, “It Don’t Come Easy”
Ben Folds, “Oh My My”
Ben Harper, “Walk With You”

But they did include it for whatever reason on the Live album - and then not Praytor but there it is, opening the set still. Interesting.

THANKS for the set list!!

Still super bummed Praytor hasn't gotten a look in for the live album. That song is the best song SOTLOTM has! I'd be satisfied if they at least played it live during one of their TV spots or something so I got a nice high quality live recording of it but they keep letting me down. SIGHHH

Can't please 'em all!

Hey guys, I recorded the stream and uploaded it here - http://depositfiles.com/files/l3dsbqpeo

Sounds really good and I split up the audio so interview/songs are separate. Enjoy

Here's a link to my recording of their show!
http://depositfiles.com/files/07g82qwbw

It's mp3 320k. It's a bit distorted and I had to go through and try and manually "normalize" the wave forms so the volume didn't keep going up and down but all things considered, it's pretty good.

Setlist:

Michael Praytor
Missing The War
Hold That Thought
Jackson Cannery
Selfless
Erase Me
Alice Childress
Sky High
Draw A Crowd
Landed
BOWCCL
Uncle Walter
Brick
Emaline
Tom & Mary
Do It Anyway
Narcolepsy
Rock This Bitch
Army
Encore break
Song For The Dumped
Kate
Underground

What's with Ben Folds/Five always booking females as the support act? Seems like a growing trend to me...
