Ben Folds Five performed live at the Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival on June 10, 2012, marking a significant reunion for the group after their hiatus. Prior to this performance, the band released their last studio album, "The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner," in 1999, before disbanding later that year. Their return to the stage at Bonnaroo was not just a nostalgic moment for fans; it also renewed interest in their unique blend of alternative rock and piano-driven melodies. The live recording served as a celebration of their comeback, coinciding with the release of their first new album in over a decade, "The Sound of the Life of the Mind," which came out later in September 2012. This performance was notable as it represented both a revival of their legacy and a fresh chapter in their career, drawing in a crowd eager to celebrate the return of a beloved band.
