Ben Folds - John Mayer Roll Call

I'll be there in Section 111. Really just going to see Ben Folds play for an hour. Hoping not to fall asleep while John Mayer is up there.
Maybe Folds will beat the piano with his stool. That's always a good time… I would be there he weren't opening for John Mayer at the Verizon Center…

Just laugh at the faces Mayer makes - that should keep you awake.
Have Fun!
The show was pretty entertaining.

Missed James Morrison completely while eating dinner. Don't know any of his stuff, so don't know that I missed anything.

Ben was solid, as usual. Sound at Verizon kind sucked, and all the John Mayer fans there didn't really "get" Ben Folds. Crowd was talking through the first 3/4 of his set. But I still loved it.

John Mayer was surprisingly good. I thought it was going to be a fairly mellow bluesy show. But he rocked out pretty decently, sounded good, and…much to my surprise…is a pretty damn good guitar player.
Why is it a surprise that Mayer is a good guitar player? If Rolling Stone magazine is to be believed, he's a guitar God.

And what is there to not "get" about Ben Folds?

You did yourself a favor by missing James Morrison.

I agree, Mayer is a damn good guitar player. Gravity was a great live song.
count me as one of the people that doenst "get" ben. he's a good performer and all, i just dont like his music as a whole–i'd like it more if he werent singing.

i love his interaction with the crowd, but he just doesnt do anything for me.

i missed james morrison and thought i missed ben, but ended up hearing about half of his show.
