September 6, Ben Folds, Sydney Opera House - Concert Hall
An amazing, amazing show. Before the show, audience members wrote requests on slips of paper in the foyer. Ben chose songs from the overflowing fishbowl and played whatever came up. They were mostly oldies, all of them goodies. From time to time, he forgot lyrics, but the audience always helped out. This was most probably the best concert I have ever attended.
Here's the set list I sent Meg, Christina, and Lance after the show:
The Luckiest
Smoke
Battle of Who Could Care Less
Underground
Don't Change Your Plans
Tiny Dancer
Such Great Heights
Rockin' The Suburbs
Magic
Landed
Rock This Bitch
Cigarette
Fred Jones Part II
"Fred Jones Part III"
Bitches Ain't Hos
Hiroshima (Japanese Version)
Emmaline
Same After That
One Angry Dwarf
September 3, Aida, Opera Australia, Sydney Opera House - Opera Theatre
This was the best of the three operas I saw this year. Graeme Murphy choreographed, which made the production not just about great opera singing, but dance as well. In particular, The Triumphal March had some spectacular dancing.
