We just released a new upload! This is probably our most important upload regarding the history of Ben's career. The first Ben Folds Five concert from 1994 (at least under that moniker)!

We've also reconstructed a 2011 Ben Folds concert from videos that were scattered between 4 different DVDs. We don't have a true setlist so we don't know if we're missing any songs, nor do we know the true order of the songs, so we did our best approximation. Enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=lhS2...

Is this thing on? Check out our fan made Reinhold Messner EP called "Reinhold Revisited" where we made edits to various songs on the album, most notably combining Hospital Song, Army, and Regrets into one song as it was originally intended! www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC7P...

Sorry to bother, just following up on if you were able to do this?

Silver St. @silverstyt.bsky.social · Jul 17

I appreciate it so much, thank you!!

Silver St. @silverstyt.bsky.social · Jul 17

Gotcha! I'm just trying to find a lead on anyone who'd have some of the files that were hosted there that are now lost to time. In particular I'm looking for live concerts. There's a Darren solo show in New York that is completely missing now. Do you have any idea how we could get ahold of these?

Just a heads up, We re-uploaded a few tracks to fix phasing as well as de-clicking. Here's a link to get right into the playlist! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkQH...

We re-uploaded the Caleb Southern session demos as well as the Sony/Tree demos onto our YT, as they are now all in better quality than they were before thanks to a re-transfer of the Sony/Tree tape, as well as a transfer of a new tape, the 1994 Ben Folds Five cassette tape. Links in reply!

Did you know? Christmas Time Rhyme is censored on streaming platforms as it removes "fuckin'" from the verse that plays at 2:26 in the song. Take a listen to the uncensored version below, sourced from the CD! www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO6R...
