gmoney Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 http://tinyurl.com/benfoldslive ImAVeePee Records/Sony Music is proud to release Ben Folds Five Live, the first live album from piano-pop trio Ben Folds Five. Recorded in 2012 on their first tour in more than a decade, this new set - available on CD and double-vinyl - will be the perfect prelude to the band's spot on the Last Summer on Earth Tour, which will see Ben Folds Five filling amphitheaters across America alongside Barenaked Ladies and Guster.For longtime fans of Ben Folds' biting, piano-based power-pop songs, the past two years have been full of excitement. In 2011, Folds reunited with bassist Robert Sledge and drummer Darren Jessee to record the first new Ben Folds Five songs since 1999 for the career-spanning compilation The Best Imitation Of Myself: A Retrospective. Inspired by the collaborative spark after so many years apart, the trio reconvened in Folds' Nashville studio to record their fourth studio album, The Sound Of The Life Of The Mind. The album was an immediate hit, peaking within Billboard's Top 10 - the band's highest-charting release.Ben Folds Five consistently thrills audiences with their high energy performances, and Ben Folds Five Live captures the band in top form across four continents through 2012 and 2013. The band deliver powerful renditions of their most beloved classics like "Jackson Cannery," "Brick" and "Song For The Dumped" as well as new hits from The Sound Of The Life Of The Mind, including "Do It Anyway," "Draw A Crowd" and "Sky High."

minor incident Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I would've preferred a (new) Ben Folds live album. I've always thought he's way better live on his own than with Ben Folds Five. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

booms528 Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Not sure if I want this enough to actually buy it... I'll probably wait and see if I can pick it up on sale somewhere later. I was at that Boston show, though, which makes me want it more, so I'll probably get it eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesecrets0308 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I guess this is cool. Would much rather see reissues of Whatever and Ever Amen, The Unauthorized Biography ..., etc. Run tell dat! Whatever and Ever Amen and Reinhold Messner both need a serious reissue. I have very fond memories of both of those albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
