Thanks for posting this! Always happy to see BF5 content, especially when it's as good as this. As you say, they must've performed a longer set - the melodica on Ben's piano suggests Smoke was played.
this is a super interesting phase in their career -- heres my notes ben is... ben... i don't study piano so someone else can "grade" him here. robert is back to the big LPB-3, so his tone is fuller, which i love. He's going less for the speed of 94-97 and more for touch, which reflects the band as a whole. He's still shredding like crazy though. darren is in a super interesting spot- his kit setup is getting flatter, and more Reinhold-y as opposed to the jazz near-vertical slanted tom placement built for speed. his cymbals are in early reinhold/reunion positions now, with a flatter ride, and overall lower. His playing is, in my eyes, a perfect blend of the speed of WAEA/ST and the touch of reinhold. What a show.
Funnily enough, before we were given the footage here from Jordan, we did try asking in the comments on that video to see if they had a recording of Ben Folds Five as well, you can actually see that comment right now on that video from one of our personal accounts there lol.
If you're referring to the brickwall compression, that was on the tape when we got it. The remaster was mostly just removing tape noise and EQing. When I remaster the audio my goal is to present what's already there the best I can instead of heavily messing with it.
Hey just noticed this! Wonderful to see this up on your channel! It's an honor!
All of the Ben Folds fans and Ben Folds Five fans of the world thank you so sincerely for your continual dedication to rad Ben Folds finds
You are a national treasure (in the nation of Folds) for always posting the best videos.
9:43 OMG EMALINE!
IT'S MY FAVORITE B-SIDE OF ANY BAND/ARTIST EVER!
Been waiting YEARS for this to surface. What a version of 'Emaline'... Thank you 🤘♥️🤘
Dang never seen Darren play that many fills in One Angry Dwarf
This has finally surfaced thanks to you! I remember watching this show in high school. It replayed a few times if I recall. Fuck yes! Thx a million!
All thanks to youtube.com/@jordancooperlalala for providing their raw transfer!
This is literally when I first saw and became a fan. Because I happened to see this at age 15 I went on to play piano the rest of my life
Wow, great job on the touch ups!
I saw them in 1998 at Blossom in Ohio with Sean Lennon and Beck. Loved them. Tonight I see him in Akron at Goodyear Theater. Can’t wait.
I just got back from this show! great unusual requests in the 2nd half

Very astute sir.
Thank you! Had never seen this one before. ❤ from argentina
What's with the little pinky ring? I've never seen him wear that before.
Holy crap!! Is this in raw tape quality? Or did it went under some treatment?
It went under some treatment, check the description for what was done to the raw footage that was sent to us.
can we also get the SQUEEZE recording? lol (seriously though)
It's already on RUclips, here's the link: ruclips.net/video/88pFdQ0DFzw/видео.html

@@SilverStreet LMAO - that's why you're so awesome and amazing!!
the audio remastering on this is terrible.
