Ben Folds conducted what appears to be his penultimate Apartment Requests livestream on Saturday. The singer-songwriter and pianist fit in covers by Jackson Browne and Elliott Smith as well as some Ben Folds Five classics.

After talking about recording his new album, Ben kicked things off with “How Many Years?” followed by Ben Folds Five’s “The Last Polka” and the “Rawhide Theme.” Next up, Folds delivered a cover of the Jackson Browne 1972 classic “Doctor My Eyes.” After “Free Coffee” from his 2008 album Way To Normal, Ben continued with “Ten Years Old” and “Don’t Change Your Plans” before giving a brief piano lesson.
