Watching (for the 1000th time) in 2024. A singularly remarkable performance. Ben demonstrates sheer mastery of his craft here, and the audience is totally hypnotized. One of my favorite little moments is at about 00:28, at the conclusion of the intro; you can hear Ben humming to get the pitch of the first note. :)

Ben you are the Elton John of my generation. Thank you for getting me through some of the most trying times in my life. Keep rocking the suburbs!

Ben Folds is one of the greats. Up there with Lennon and McCartney.

I listened to him throughout high school with my best friend who has long since gone. He truly is one of the greatest... both of them.

I'm watching this in a quiet library and almost impulsively clapped at the end.

[mattkent]

He is absolutely one of the great piano pop artists of all time. I saw him in London in 2015 and he was absolutely incredible

If I hear Ben Folds in any capacity, I can't help but smile. This man has the amazing to capsize the listener into despair while giving uplifting by the same token. I remember in a small venue in Jacksonville, Oregon in 2015, I seemed to be the only one who snapped up for the audience feedback punctuations, got the recog from him and the rest but I remained in the song(s) the entire time. Very few artists evoke this psych-sonic connection, and I'd be hard-pressed these daze to find one better.

This song just hits me with those full body chills every time. I love that great music can illicit such involuntary responses.

[vonarndt]

That is some of the greatest piano playing a lyrics I've ever heard. Truly incredible.

[Vikingraider]

Randomly, someone reminded me of this song yesterday without even knowing they'd done so. Just used the word "Landed" out of context, and immediately I thought of Ben Folds. Searched Youtube and found him, and then searched again for a live version. Here I am, and here I've been for about 3 hours now listening over and over again.

The best live version of this song available to date for sure

[claytonmeister]

Only just found out about Ben Folds this month via a Jamie Cullum version of Brick. Can’t get enough of this guy’s music. Incredible.

[Leoj-zozw]

[DawsonMaxey]

Ben Folds is my favorite I'm so glad he still has long to live on

[forsimack]

The people witnessing this live must of felt incredible

[Chippy]

How can just one man make such an amazing sound ?

[Gitarkilla]

I was lucky enough to see ben with the Pittsburgh symphony and then I went and saw him with a regular band in pittsburgh and they were just amazing experiences. The symphony show was just bone chilling amazing the entire time it was a bucket list experience if you ever get the chance to buy a seat for a show like that do it. It was unforgettable.

I'm a musician of moderate ability. I can sing while playing the guitar, and can sing while playing piano on a couple songs. The differences between the piano composition and the structure of the vocal melody make for what sounds like a damn near impossible feat. I dont play piano much so i could be overhyping a little, but there is no doubt that Ben Folds is a legend as far as contemporary pop (popular) musicians go.
