I have seen Ben live and let me tell you, if nothing else at least at that show it was most definitely live. He interacts with the crowd, makes jokes, sings impromptu songs (for instance he sang one 2 weeks ago at UPitt about a "lonely building" that was across the street), and even has the audience sing harmonies along with him. I'm not sure about your experience, it is possible that he was sick or something that night. I won't deny what you saw, but I will tell you the Ben Folds is a very entertaining, impressive live performer. He's playing here in a few weeks for our Slope Day (last day of classes) performance, I can't wait!
