Okay, I made notes in my phone to remember as I'm a bit forgetful and was feeling the pressure
(Yeah and due to living with a laptop with no sound I hadn't heard new stuff apart from Kylie and Free Coffee properly so please do correct me with song titles!
Opening:
assh*le (? name anyone)
Gone
You To Thank
<Then he puts tins and a cookie tin lid in the piano and uses the distorter which means...>
Free Coffee (f*cking love this one personally)
All U Can Eat
Jesusland
Landed
Brainwashed (? I think, he told the story about falling off a stage in Japan and bleeding all over the piano but carrying on with the show and then going and getting his head x-rayed...)
Annie Waits
Battle of Who Could Care Less (An unexpected but well received one!)
Goodnight
Kylie
Narcolepsy
Army (which he didn't dwell on as much as I've seen him do in the past)
Rockin' The Suburbs
Kate
Underground (one of my favs
)
Ode to bridge in Newcastle/RTB Newcastle - this was really funny, proper improv, told us about the indian he had earlier in Newcastle that had made him feel a bit off and about the millenium bridge (not that Ben knew the name of it, just loved the personal touch kinda made the fact he was actually in Newcastle hit home to me!)
Zak and Sara
Havanagila
<Now Ben tells us of how this line came into his head while he was in the shower standing with a bar of soap...If theres a god out there he's laughing at us, and our football team...>
Effington
Not the Same - with which he breaks the audience up into 3 part harmonies! was very fun, he got excited climbed on the piano and everything!
I really got the impression Ben enjoyed tonight! He was full of energy, lots of new stuff and some old which is good, dad didn't know quite a bit of it and I was quite prod of us being second row despite his injury! (which he didnt tell me till afterwards had swollen up during the performance so he couldnt bend it properly!)
I've got some amazing photos but I don't know how to upload them still because I am thick! I'll have a go but you could just check them out on my facebook peeps, if I love you enough anyway
Just can't wait for Glasto now!
Oh bought two tshirts, Dad didn't buy the "I loved Ben Folds before he sucked" Tour T as he felt as a bloke there was just too many connotations, however I bought one and a navy one with Ben faces on, £20 a piece is pretty steep tho!
Jared and Sam were on top form tonight as well, they work so well together! SO GOOD!
Still rather high...
mint show!
