This DVD is one of my cherished possessions.

[@grahamclews1571]

Same here

[@dipren443]

Amen.

[@willieboy555]

His drummer is just bad ass. The whole band is bad ass.

[@goctagonrecovery3270]

The most badass power trio

[@xtubeinator]

Ben actually majored in percussion at UNCG. 🥁

[@tvscribe]

Darren!

[@patton303]

This is the most vicious, unhinged amazing fucking band I’ve ever seen live in concert and I saw the original Pantera three times.

[@ChrisHillmanKnows]

0:30 Dude dancing in the background is my spirit animal.

[@theaziz2001]

The drum fills are INSANE

[@michaelbdougherty]

And the bass solo is one of the most face-melting things in rock history, and it's one bar long.

[@ezrac704]

0:54 is possibly the best bass moment of Ben Folds Five imo. Absolutely crazy

[@tedcarr1]

and @2:44 also crazy we both decided to vibe out on some BFF today

[@jimijackson]

The cameraman missed a few of the important bass parts lol I was thinking...I'm not a bass player, but switch to his hands!!

[@mysusbigsoss2101]

3 legendary musicians right there

[@GoldenEmu1]

Three out of five ain't bad

[@mcnultyssobercompanion6372]

lol...with the stool at the end. Awesome.

[@timsullivan67]

Can we talk about Sledge on the bass on this song? Holy Hell!

[@rabbitscooter]

Darren Jessee is amazing. He's not just a killer drummer (and I'm saying that as a drummer myself) he also co-wrote some of BF5's best tracks. And he plays guitar and sings with his own band, Hotel Lights. He deserves a lot more credit than he's received, I think.

[@xtubeinator]

Ben Folds.. My old dorm next door neighbor… 🎹 🥁 🎤

[@zkxe-mr6vy]

Were you there when he threw his drums into the lake ?

[@jimijackson]

I love the break down

[@clintonwilcox4690]

The classical pianist in me is screaming WHAT IS BEN DOING TO THAT PIANO?! I still love BF5, though. :D

[@ethancooney3331]

lmao there intro was basically every primus song, great song

[@AlexW58]

first thing i thought too was primus

[@randomspontaneousidiot4239]

It did sound like Primus!

[@nicelydunwell5681]

Trey ruined Les!!!!!

[@crlyhdedfnck]

Best Death Grips performance

[@Owlpunk]

LMAO

[@virginiaschrapel6142]

This was Our Song.

[@Owlpunk]

That must have been quite the relationship! :D

[@patriciofernandez2711]

You were doomed from the start

[@nicolemonade]

absolutely unreal - BF5 FOREVER

[@timothydillow3160]

Huevos he has Talent also great lyricist great keyboard player great voice a true gem in the bucket of sand

[@davidmeyer8293]

Great performance of a great song. Sound guy probably had a heart attack though

[@jasonogle38]

Sometimes as a sound man this is what you want to happen

[@jimijackson]

Is it just me or was there a static spark on the bass? Lol (when he's touching the lead)

[@ezrac704]

I wonder if anyone from these performances actually became a fan and they weren't before.

[@MagnumMuscle1000]

I saw them at Lollapalooza in '96 and became a fan instantly.

[@Vallnerik]

Me.

[@drewdog7482]

Meeeeeeeee! ✋🏽

[@aagrape3377]

yeah first footstep. Thankyou for your posting. Ｉ really appreciate it.

[@022rty]

His piano tuner had a heart attack after watching this video.

[@Freq412]

LMAO, love these guys!

[@vinta1371]

epic performance of epic song

[@dabbinrascal7975]

Sledge-hammer!

[@sebastian.arancibia]

Hands down.

[@daneschipp]

Got chased around a karaoke stage singing this song by a 50 yr old woman swatting at me. I think possibly because of the lyrics, but my singing is awful too. So that's probably it.

[@jeffysworld2740]

Nicely done..

[@shalo8443]

Kane wo kaese ！！

[@Mike__S]

Thank you for posting this track! I originally found this video here on KZbin many years ago and it disappeared about 5 years ago(perhaps you obtained the rights to it). This is my favorite of the early performances!!

[@mhermit]

Great example of a different kind of heavy.

[@michaelratcliff8634]

Just a a tremendous fucking band!

[@Ataribot]

Must have been epic

[@nedl428]

Does Ben use that melotica cause I always see it but never see him play it

[@CarlWatkins]

Check out Stephen's Last Night in Town from this same recording. It's on this channel as well.

[@jimijackson]

At 4:04 what is the drummer mouthing?

[@verydirtyflow]

Losing my edge....

[@skibidifortnite100]

does this mean what i think it does or have i seen to much brain rot 😭

[@jimijackson]

Wait a second...i never noticed this. Why does ben have two bandages on his index and middle finger on his right hand?? 00:52 when he adjusts the mic in the closeup on his face.

[@thingiezz]

I'd have to guess from glissandos. Those things will rip open your cuticles

[@philspill6854]

Whaat fuzz on that bass?

[@prestonjones7775]

Green russian pi big muff. I use one myself and I absolutely love it

[@philspill6854]

@@prestonjones7775 duh theres it is at 1:22. Guitarist thats looking for bass tones for recording. Thanks

[@prestonjones7775]

@@philspill6854 no problem!

[@Kurros121]

The piano was so abused. I'm sure Ben paid a lot for it tho...

[@kevinpinon6108]

I think it was his own piano as far as I know. He used to bring his own piano to BF5 concerts.

[@TheRacboys]

Charlie brown has a band lol

[@TheRacboys]

Beware of cd with this song it is really in Japanese not english.

[@xtubeinator]

There are good/bad reasons for that…
