Ben Howard concert
Annexet in Stockholm, Sweden
Mon, 17 Nov 2014

I can only agree with the other reviews. Only one old song and almost no interaction with the audience - arrogant.

I was surprised at how stiff it all felt. Almost no interaction with the audience (apart from when the people in the audience started singing on "The Wolves" and he replied with a "yeah can you imagine how many people are saying that to me heh"). The opening act with Jack Garratt was much more alive and welcoming.
Even though I like most of the songs on his new album, I really think many people came there expecting at least a mix of both old and new songs, but alas.

I was so disappointed. The fans were basically screaming at him "play old songs!!" and were starting to sing "the wolves" but he didn´t seem to care. He didn´t even play ´keep your head up´, nothing. Weak encore, weak concert. Everyone felt left in shock and disbelief. Waste of money. Didn´t interact with the crowd at all, it all felt very cold and mechanical.

I also saw Ben at Berns in 2012 and that was an EPIC show! The best concert ive ever been to. The show last night was just ok... I was soooo disappointed at Ben! I thought the show was gonna be a mixture of new and old songs, sure he played "Black flies" from his old record but that was it. And i think all of us wanted to hear "The Wolves" for example. He was late for the show, and he didnt really interact with us in the audience, he said a few things, he sang and then it was over. Since it was his first show on the european tour i thought he would be more pumped and high on energy, but nooo.. It was good, but not great, and i know Ben can do better then good, because he really is GREAT, it's just a shame he didnt show that yesterday!

Saw Ben at Berns (Sthlm) 2 years ago. That concert was top 3 - best concerts ever for me. This one? Top 50 maybe...

We like you new album - but we don't love it (YET, since we haven't had the time to listen to it!), so please give us some old songs as well next time...

Great performance by Ben and the crew but I was expecting to hear some old songs as well.

No old songs. No feeling. Just routine.
