When...May 27, 1999
Where..The Ritz, Raliegh
Who.....Me, Diane and David
Ben Folds Five-by far the best concert I've been to. The band was great, but the crowd sucked. We got there at a decent time and waited in line for them to let people in. SO, we wait and then when we get inside we're like 6 feet from the stage...then all the 12 year olds flock in and push their way past us. It was terrible...if another one slid past me I sware my foot would have been up their butt at that point. But, then the opening band came out, they weren't too bad, but they just weren't who I came to see, so I couldn't stand how they wouldn't stop playing--they played at least an hour to an hour and a half, one song after another. It seemed so anyway. Then Ben Folds Five came on *cheer!!!*, now that we were 10 ft from the stage. I still had a great time. Ben sung really well, he walked across the piano keys during one song, and the band played great. Definately a band worth seeing if they come to your town. :)
