    <3 Ben Folds/BFFive so much. He is one of those super rare artists that even having listened to every song/album of his probably 1,000 times now over the years, I am still not sick of them and can throw on his entire discography and not have to skip any songs.

    Ben Gibbard/Death Cab/Postal Service and Eddie Vedder/Pearl Jam are probably the only other artists/bands I can think of that are similar for me in that regard. Maybe Queen too, but I usually have to be in the mood for them and some of their songs are definitely skippable (e.g. Fat Bottom Girls = meh).

    p.s. Rockin' the Suburbs is prob my fav Ben Folds album, too. So this was a great song choice. ;)

        I fucking love you. As soon as I saw Eddie on the scaffolding at the start I knew exactly what concert it was. It's legendary! And all the other copies I have seen are 4:3 and have been garbage...

        I fucking love you. As soon as I saw Eddie on the scaffolding at the start I knew exactly what concert it was. It's legendary! And all the other copies I have seen are 4:3 and have been garbage quality though... so thanks a ton for sharing this!!!

            Already downloaded and watching it now. ;) I use Video Downloadhelper though, since I download a lot of stuff... coversongs especially, since they are my passion and they tend to disappear fairly regularly from YouTube and elsewhere, so I back up most of the ones I like.

                You can with VDH too, but it works with more than just YouTube. I have yet to find any publicly viewable streaming sites that VDH doesn't work with, since it can even download those obnoxious sequentially loading/segmented video files. It can even download just the audio layer if you want. It's a pretty comprehensive suite, and with the companion app installed can also convert the files too (e.g. FLV -> MP4).

                    A lot of sites (esp. porn sites ;) use streaming formats/protocols (e.g. HLS, MPEG-TS, etc) which break up the video being served into tons of separate files and feed them to you sequentially. As a result, when you try to download them with software that can't handle that, you often end up only getting a small portion of the video instead of the whole thing. VDH doesn't have that problem though and can stitch them together just fine.

      Yeah, REM is up there too... though some of their songs are a bit hit or miss for me. I would probably throw The Tragically Hip, Rob Thomas/Matchbox Twenty and Our Lady Peace in that list as well but they too can be a bit hit or miss as well, IMO.

      p.s. Cool channel BTW. Ever get hit by a DMCA for uploading those old interviews and concert footage?
