Ben Folds ReCap

Awesome concert.

He played mostly songs from his 'Songs for Silverman' album (to be expected, I guess), as most of the arrangements for the Orchestra were done about 3 years ago.

I was really blown away by the richness of the sound coming from the orchestra, it's totally different to listening on headphones, or even a properly set up stereo. Hamer Hall is a pretty intimate venue, with super comfortable seats.

I thought it was interesting that there was not a lot of 'concert' type behaviour - Lighters going during ballads, standing.. from what I could see, it was nearly all people just sitting and appreciating the music - which is great - OMG - How old am I?!
