BEN FOLDS LIVE was released back in 2002 (I bought it when it came out, and still have it here at Rock Father HQ), but until now, there had never been an actual BEN FOLDS FIVE LIVE album. That changes on June 4th with the release of the official live album, BEN FOLDS FIVE LIVE (ImaVeePee/Sony Music Entertainment). Recorded in 2012-2013 during their first tour in over a decade, the new record will give listeners a preview of what to expect whent the band hits the road with BARENAKED LADIES and GUSTER for the LAST SUMMER ON EARTH 2013 Tour.
The tracklisting for Ben Folds Five Live:
You know… though it wasn’t released as an audio-only version, I also have THE COMPLETE SESSIONS AT WEST 54th, a 1999 DVD release of a 1997 performance. Worth seeking out if you can find it.
