Ben Howard concert review
Jahrhunderthalle in Frankfurt, Germany
Mon, 24 Nov 2014

I wanted to go to his concert three years ago but it was sold out...in 2012 he got sick and on the next concert I was on vacation....so it was now the fourth time that I wanted to see ben howard live... I am disappointed. the artist I admired was not on stage. I remember empty corridors and the times where he had not even one album. I really missed the old album. It was really depressing listening to all those sad sounds and not having something else. I really like the new album as well but on the concert it was just too depressing I guess. DISAPPOINTING.

Leider ein mehr als enttäuschendes Konzert. Es kam so rüber als hätte er "stur" seine Songs abgespielt und war froh als er endlich die Bühne verlassen konnte. Ein Lied als Zugabe? Und keine große Konversation zum Publikum. Auch die Bühnenshow mit den vielen Lichtern war mir persönlich zu viel. Leider kein Vergleich zu seinen alten so tollen Konzerten :(

Never been so disappointed by a concert in my life. Great band and good sound, though. What an arrogant prick Ben Howard is. To say "I've played that here before one year ago" is like saying "fuck you, paying consumers who I owe my life's dream to". I wasn't expecting the entire old album, but why not play like 3 songs from it? The new album is worse than the old one and I kept wondering why they play the exact same song over and over. What an idiot. I will steal his music from now on, and never pay to see his bigheaded ass again.

I decided to write my reference here and we will see if I am the only one. When I go to a concert, it is because I admire the artist, and I want to hear any, not all, but any of his popular songs. Why Ben Howard didn't play any?? Why the concert was so short after one hour delay?? Why he even almost didn't say a word to the public? Why the guy who played before him played just ONE single song? I have many questions. I mean, I love his music,and I enjoyed, but I don't pay that money again if I don't receive a full show.

I loved the concert! Ben was right when he told the crowd "I played that here already.". Every song on his new album is worth playing on a concert. New tour = new songs.

I really love ben, there is no other artist, who is able to mix such great melodies with his extraordinary voice!

Nevertheless i never have been such disappointed from a concert as i was yesterday. I can't understand why ben plays the whole new album und ignore completely the olde one?!? That's not okay and so next time, i surely won't drive 400km in order to see him again :(

I missed the old songs too. Ben should have realized that the public has wanted old songs

I missed some older songs as well as some more conversation with the audience. However, Ben is a great artist.
