^^^^All concerts on Earth are "no photography". Have you ever been inside an arena/stadium/amphitheatre etc before? I guarantee every one has a sign and a policy against photography. Doesn't mean people follow it, but it's there.

9/12/2008 9:41:30 AM

I have never been to a concert in a stadium.

9/12/2008 9:46:29 AM

I have a friend with a pair of tickets for $115 (face value).

If you want them, pm me and I'll get you in touch with him.

a little highlight from the awesome article:

Quote :

"That approach Folds has relied on for the better part of the decade dates to Ben Folds Five, the Chapel Hill piano-rock trio he led for seven years. Ben Folds Five, which became North Carolina's best-selling pop group of all time before breaking up almost eight years ago, will reunite Thursday to play its final album, The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner, in its entirety, followed by a set of hits from the two albums and collection of outtakes that preceded it."

i can't even comprehend how amazing tonight is going to be

I'll be right up front!

The band isn't opening; it'll just be Darren playing acoustic from what I've seen posted.

^MySpace is presenting it but I don't think they will be streaming it live. I have read it will be re-broadcast in October sometime.

I'm just hope nobody goes and yells out "ROCK THIS BITCH!!!" - in a perfect world they'd do exactly what Ryan Adams did once: find the person and throw them out.

9/18/2008 1:26:11 PM

Just FYI, my bro-in-law works there and said the security it going to be picked up from normal shows.

And if you have a student ticket, ie. had a UNC student get you a ticket, they will be checking for your UNC student ID. From that I got the impression that your NCSU student ID wont work and you wont be allowed in.

9/18/2008 1:46:14 PM

Why would a NCSU ID work? The student tickets were for UNC students only, and you had to have a oneCard for every one you bought.

Might stop by the Carolina Brewery beforehand if anybody wants to join me for a beer or 2

9/18/2008 5:04:08 PM

Anyone have a late notice leftover ticket? pm me if you do.

9/18/2008 5:11:22 PM

wow

only 500 sold to the public

with the 700 student tickets that leaves like 300-400 band tickets

crazy

9/18/2008 7:05:48 PM

fuck fuck fuck. why didn't i hear about this sooner. i really want to go. :

9/18/2008 7:39:48 PM

i enjoyed it. a little surprised they didn't come back out with the cheering and such, but it probably makes sense with how long it's been since they've played together... limited rehearsal time and such.

the whole set was pretty good. enjoyed hearing some stuff he doesn't normally play solo. most valuable possession was hilarious, and battle of who could care less was probably my favorite.

overall, good times, hopefully it'll come out on DVD or something in its entirety

9/18/2008 11:46:23 PM

So there's Darren Jesse opening. And that's it for pictures. About that time I noticed security grabbing people left and right with cameras so I decided to put it away for the rest of the show.

What a fucking night though.

9/19/2008 12:21:05 AM

it was everything i had hoped for. i just wish they played evaporated...i know it's not one of the more well known songs but it would have made it even better.

good stuff.

i really dug the crowd that went out -- everyone seemed really into and enjoyed themselves.

9/19/2008 12:44:19 AM

awesome show

9/19/2008 12:45:46 AM

set list?

9/19/2008 12:47:02 AM

After they played Reinhold Messner they came back out and played:

Jackson Cannery
Eddie Walker
Selfless, Cold, Composed
Battle of Who Could Care Less
Where's Summer B
Julianne
Song for the Dumped

9/19/2008 7:13:07 AM

I was getting really pissed off during Darren Jesse's set b/c this guy and girl sitting behind me wouldn't shut the fuck up. They were trying to talk over his singing.

The guy said "Who is this guy?" and the girl answered "I don't know. But he sucks"

are you kidding me? get the fuck out of here with that mess.


By the way, there were like 15 seats empty around me.

9/19/2008 8:26:30 AM

fantastic show!

totally made my week

^I saw you walking out last night

9/19/2008 8:27:28 AM

haha

I just checked my email for the first time since 6pm last night

Got this gem:

Quote :

" Here's An Important Late Breaking Bulletin for fans of Ben Folds and Chapel Hill Music: A number of tickets have just been released for tonight's historic Ben Folds Five concert at Memorial Hall in Chapel Hill. A handful of the tickets are available now via Etix.com, with the remainder available for purchase in person at the Memorial Hall Box Office, on Cameron Avenue."

from the cat's cradle newsletter. it was sent at 7:32pm

[Edited on September 19, 2008 at 8:30 AM. Reason : f]

9/19/2008 8:28:30 AM

Maybe that explains the two empty seats beside me

9/19/2008 8:30:16 AM

I'm really glad that Folds' dad came out for "your most valuable possession"

I was wondering how they were going to do that b/c at the Ben Folds concert in May, his dad didn't look too well. But he looked great last night!

9/19/2008 8:41:55 AM

Other than this flaming dipshit in a blue shirt beside me who felt the need to scream out every word at the top of his lungs into my girlfriend's ear for the entire show, it was fantastic.

9/19/2008 8:49:04 AM

i didn't check my email after four yesterday, but i'm trying to remind myself that i had a good time doing other things instead of getting the show email

Along those lines

Girl overheard after the show

"I recognized a couple of those songs... like... ummm... Army... and that one... something about Jane? I dunno"
