213 -- Ben Folds -- Wednesday, July 26, 2017 -- Wolf Trap -- Vienna, VA

It was hard to fully enjoy this Ben Folds show considering Hark and I had to arrive half an hour in, Ben had to play half a set, and that day, our president attempted to ban a group of people who helped capture Osama Bin Laden. 

To Ben's credit, though, he played well, and there was no filler in the setlist.

--- Strong songs as we entered: “Zac and Sara,” “Not the Same,” and, fittingly, “Army.”

--- First time I've see an opener have an encore -- nice!

--- A few seconds into “The Luckiest,” Hark realized which song it was, grabbed me, and said, “This was so worth it!”  Awww at Hark also playing the melody on me during the song.

--- Unexpected return to “One Angry Dwarf” from James Porter's mixed CD.  Nice ending.

Grade: B
