Ben Folds and the MSO

Ben Folds and the MSO photos Saturday night, I had the pleasure of seeing Ben Folds playing with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra - one of his numerous gigs around Australia with our orchestras recently. It all started with the West Australian Symphony Orchestra, which got produced as a DVD last year. Anyway, I’m mostly posting this to link to the photos Kel and I took during the concert - we had seats in the 3rd row, nicely situated to take some good close up photos.

Ben also had a guest band in for the night - the Dresden Dolls - they came on and played one of their own songs (”Coin operated boy”), and then helped out with “Stephen’s last night in town”. At the risk of having Ben Folds come round to my house and draw a penis on my bathroom wall, I didn’t quite like the lead singer’s voice. Interesting style of music, but the voice just ruined it. I’m willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, and blame the sound guys, cause her voice doesn’t seem AS bad in the songs on the Dresden Dolls website.

Anyway, other than that, it was a great night. If you’re a Ben fan (and you should be), enjoy the photos. If not, well… that’s your loss.

    What’s this about Ben Folds coming around to your house and drawing a penis on your bathroom wall????? Why limit it ot the bathroom wall? Bedrooms are better for penis drawings.
