I'll keep it short for Ben Lee and Ben Folds...Ben Lee was fun and entertaining, even coming out into the audience, a good opener, but nothing amazing. Ben Folds is such an amazing pianist, and a great entertainer, he included a cover of a Dr Dre/Snoop Dogg song which I believe was called Bitches Aint Shit, and he did a cover of some 80s song with Rufus, it was great. He left out quite a few of the obvious songs from Whatever and Ever Amen, but it was still a solid performance.
I had never seen Rufus Wainwright before and had only heard a couple of his songs, and I must say, he has to be the best live vocal performer of all time. The guy has amazing range on his voice, and can carry a note forever. His set was amazing, for anyone that likes him, here is what he played:
Maker Makes
The Art Teacher
Rebel Prince
The One You Love
Vibrate
Katonah
Little Sister
Poses
Between My Legs
Memphis Skyline
Hallelujah
Crumb By Crumb
Beautiful Child
Pretty Things
Gay Messiah
-------------
California
and he played one other song that wasn't on the set list, but I have no idea what it was!
