Tue 17 Feb – Ben Folds, Miniature Tigers
Though it's the first concert in my life. Okay, so let's start with the basics.
The Miniature Tigers opened, then Wibi did an acapella cover of
Underground, which was decent, followed by an unknown song, then an acapella cover of Don't Stop Believin, with a vocal guitar solo. Good opener, in my opinion.
After about a half hour (with a show starting supposedly at 7pm, they hit the stage at 9:30pm...), the three came onto the stage and immediately began playing Bitch Went Nutz. Here's the entire setlist:
Bitch Went Nutz
Effington
Brainwascht
You Don't Know Me (with Jared doing Regina Spektor's part. Remarkable vocal capabilities on this man!)
Annie Waits (thank god! old songs!)
Alice Childress (half the crowd didn't know this)
Army (albeit a fake, improv version. I have a vid)
Way to Normal
Cologne
Zak and Sara
Landed
Lovesick Diagnostician
Dr. Yang
Hiroshima
Fred Jones, Part 2
Lullabye (only piano)
Emaline
Kylie from Connecticut
Free Coffee (With altoid tins! And an effects pedal! And it didn't suck!)
Tom and Mary
Don't Stop Believin' (improv; lots of cavity searches)
Army (the crowd automatically knew the horn part, and I screamed "GOD PLEASE SPARE ME MORE REJECTION" as one of the few people. It was amazing.)
Kate
Not the Same (I had to do the falsetto part of the chorus since nobody else in the crowd seemed to)
Encore (of course; though it took 10 minutes of applause)
Fair (I WAS WAITING FOR THIS, YES)
Philosophy (though the ending was Dr. Pyser)
Then they exited once more, and for good this time, and the crowd kept cheering. We exited a while after and got Nick's Miniature Tigers CD signed (I fist-pounded the lead singer! Yay!).
Now it's 1am and I'm really tired.
