Ben Folds Five – January 23rd – The Ogden
Until last Wednesday night, it had been a very long time since Ben Folds Five performed in Denver. A packed house of hardcore fans were at the Ogden to witness everything that made Ben Folds Five so great: the short stories of oddball characters, the distinct vocal harmonies, Folds’ trademark prowess as a witty improviser and talented pianist, and even an impromptu rendition of the classic “Rock This Bitch” that delighted more than a few fans.

Ah, classic rock, it just has this way of bringing people together. Last Thursday the 1stBank Center was a melting pot of Denver demographics as couples in their 50’s jammed in next to guys in their 20’s along the rail right in front of Tom Petty’s mic stand to hear him sing classics like “Refugee,” “Here Comes My Girl,” and “Free Fallin’.” It was a testament to the longevity of this 61 year old rocker and his band that even after all these years, he is bringing new fans to the party while he keeps the older ones coming back for more.
