The older I get the more I appreciate artists like Ben Folds. Not only can he play an instrument and play it damn well, he sounds exactly the same live as he does on his albums and does not need to be drowned out by guitars to sound good. Every time I watch him I wish a genie would come around and grant me the ability to play piano. This is his most popular live song as he usually has the audience play the trumpet and saxophone parts. They all do a pretty damn good job here.
Unauthorized Biography is my absolute favorite Ben Folds album. I count such songs as "Narcolepsy", and "Don't Change Your Plans" among some of my favorite tunes. Nice pull from a great album.
This.
Also, saw this guy at First Ave a few years back and I agree wholeheartedly with Beau's "live as good as recorded" sentiment.
