Description:

Back in August of 1998 Ben Folds Five were one of the first guests ever to appear on a brand new show called "Session at West 54th." Having just recently released their first album for Epic Records, "Whatever and Ever Amen," the band recorded one of their best sets for the fledgling show. Of course, due to the requisite editing, only a handful of the songs BF5 recorded ever made it to air--but now, for the first time, you can see the band's entire performance. Songs: "Sessions at West 54th" - Missing the War, Kate, The Battle of Who Could Care Less, The Last Polka, Selfless Cold and Composed, Brick, Steven's Last Night in Town, Smoke, Philosophy, Emaline, Theme from Dr. Pyser, One Angry Dwarf and 200 Solemn Faces, Underground, She Don't Use Jelly, Song for the Dumped; "Spare Reels" - The Battle of Who Could Care Less, Philosophy, Missing the War, Brick, Jackson Cannery, Song for the Dumped, Don't Change Your Plans, Army. DVD features: Spare Reels footage: 45 minute short film

5If you love BFF, you'll love this.  Jul 13, 2009
Fun fun fun - This has to be Ben Folds Five's best collection of live performances. Great music, great musicians, great video quality and sound. I will be jamming to this for years to come.

5Ahhhh, the memories.  Jul 08, 2009
I am purchasing this DVD for the second time, as it somehow got lost during my last move. I am one of the fortunate fans that was at this live recording. ( I can be seen dancing in the background from time to time, LOL) BF5 were a fantastic band, and anyone that likes their music would enjoy this intimate performance. It has even more special meaning to me as it brings back such a fantastic memory. buy it !

5The Five at their best...  Jul 19, 2006
This DVD is a great purchase for pretty much anyone who appreciates Ben Folds Five's music. Whether you be an avid fan or someone who just likes a couple of their/his songs.

The DVD is a colaboration of their best works from the 1st 2 albums (Ben Folds Five, Whatever And Ever Amen) played in a small studio with an intimate and enthusiastic audience.

With Ben Fold's smooth lead vocals and awe inspoiring piano, the amazing harmonies from Darren Jesse and Robert Sledge coming over so perfectly in this live recording - you feel as though you are there watching live. It makes you wonder why they ever broke up!

This DVD is a must have in anyones collection.

5The performance that made me a fan  Apr 21, 2006
It was 1997. I was fighting insomnia, and losing, so I turned on the tv to the local public television station. It was 1 AM.

I was assaulted by a manic man pounding a piano with two backup musicians, a drummer and a bassist. I was fascinated by the high-energy, yet melodic performance. I did not know a piano could be that loud. And what was that in the lyrics, "One Angry Door's Fan?"

I had to know more. I'd found a new favorite band, and I didn't even know their names.

I soon learned that I'd stumbled across Ben Folds Five, giving the performance that's on this very DVD. Ben Folds Five - The Complete Sessions at West 54th is a heady mix of rock, jazz, and punk. It's a great sample of how Ben Folds and his band sound live. If you've ever been to a Ben Folds concert, you'll know what I mean. If not, this DVD is a good introduction.

Best. Band. Ever.
