Last night's concert at Purdue was pretty much AMAZING. Ben Folds is an awesome live performer; he has mad piano and vocal skills and really knows how to bring the audience into the performance. This was actually the first concert I've ever been to, and I have to say that it surpassed my expectations. My only regret was not buying a T-shirt after the performance. The opening act was pretty awful, however. He sounded like he was whailing/shrieking/calling-a-mate through most of his songs. He also did kinda wierd, jumping dance moves that made the performance even worse. When he left the stage, though, and Ben Folds began his set, everthing changed. I particularly enjoyed Annie Waits and Zak and Sara. He also played some of the tracks off of his new album, which he just finished recording.
After paying $30 for a ticket in an auditorium that seated over 6000 people, I had to think about how much money this group was making with this 2 hour performance. Add on $20 for a shirt, and the amount is staggering. No wonder music groups are so wealthy...
