Ben Folds - Zak and Sara (Live In Perth, 2005)

[@bruceh9780]

I was at this concert 18 years ago, still one of the best concerts I've ever been to.

[@BluesShouter]

A sure sign you're thoroughly enjoying what you're seeing is when the smile on your face breaks into a laugh. It's like there's too much positive reaction to be contained by just a smile.

[@lyricbot8513]

Very true.

[@randmiller88]

For me it was the strong "L" right at the end of "asshole"

[@antzpantz]

Nearly 4am in Perth and I'm going to sleep well tonight. 🙏 One of the best shows I've ever attended in my lifetime.

[@KarlSchoenefeld4]

Best version of this song I've ever seen. Perfect sounds so cliche, but I really don't see how it could get any better than this. Saw him with our St. Louis symphony at Powell Hall and they were outstanding, but this is better. The atmosphere... the intro... it all flowed together very well. Good on Ben and the Aussie symphony.

Lucky!!!!

[@elizabethblackwell6242]

I was at this concert. It was magical.

[@high-defRJ]

Not only do I love this version, but I love how Ben enters in: The nattily dressed members of orchestra play the introductory opener of their concert, that making it seem like a concert of a theater/early film movie soundtracks. But then enters Ben Folds, looking like as if he came out of the room from his sleep, after having some beers from night before after working on his arrangements, forgetting that he had to dress up for the occasion. But Ben Folds is a musical genius, he can get away from looking like a regular Joe in a concert.

[@TomFynn]

In other words, he came onto the stage like an Australian.

[@Gardener7]

That's his best shirt! 😂

[@mionessecretgf]

I LITERALLY LEARNED ABOUT HIM IN MY MUSIC CLASS YESTERDAY- I COULD WATCH THIS TILL 3 AM

[@TheJoyrunners]

You have a good music teacher

[@rogerweiland6384]

You have 20 years of genius to catch up on!

[@youdontmatter2me]

You know you’re good when there’s a beautiful symphony backing you! 🖤

[@masondicroce917]

Wait, one of my favorite Ben Folds songs has an orchestral cover?! Christmas has come early!

[@andrewhopper3481]

There's an album of the entire performance with WASO! It's on Spotify/probably other places, if you like this one you should check it out

[@masondicroce917]

@@andrewhopper3481 Ooo, thanks for letting me know!

[@roundthecorner4904]

Probably one of the best entrances

[@jeffa4110]

This is why I hit him up every chance I can. Ben gives it always

[@Mediaright]

Legendary video.

[@maggiegee8378]

Nearly 20 years old. Still great.

[@Futt.Buckerson]

Such a great segue from the fanfare into Z&S. It literally makes me laugh every time.

[@stephenmkatzasc]

I have just discovered Ben today. Im totally knocked out! What an immensely talent man. Sitting here in the South of France wondering if he’ll show up in Provence.

[@Szlvage]

You gotta love it.

Hello there, how are you doing

[@IoEstasCedonta]

Happy 20th anniversary!

[@jeffrobeson3167]

2:06 TBH that piano sounded messed up. Also 3:23 i crack up how he made profanity sound dreamy and nice! XD

[@golls17]

2:06 that's the whole point. He's not playing any specific notes, basically clubbing the keys

[@jeffa4110]

Crap. So good Ben!
