Saw the always great Ben Folds in concert at the Barbican last night. It was a rescheduled concert from last November when Ben had pneumonia and had to cancel the tour. This time he was only suffering from a cracked rib, caused by a freak luggage accident, and the ever-present fragile fingernails which have to be held on by bandaids, due to frenetic piano key pounding.
Here's a review of Tuesday's concert at the Hammersmith Apollo. It was very similar at the Barbican, including the musical version of Dr Dre's Bitches Ain't Shit which was simultaneously amusing and quite chilling as well, when we could hear all the vitriolic lyrics so clearly. The audience also all took part in some very enjoyable three part harmony singing, conducted by Ben.
