The Magnetic Fields @ Town Hall: Yeah, Oh Yeah!
While the gig was truly sensational from start to finish (with Stephin as bitter and sarcastic as ever), it's worth noting a selection of highlights. Of which I have to draw attention to Stephin Merritt's gorgeous solo take on 69 Love Songs staple, 'The Book Of Love', which received the loudest cheers. Distortion's 'Too Drunk To Dream' and 'The Nun's Litany' (hilariously sung by Stephin, not Shirley or Claudia) were also crowd-pleasers. The sweetest treat was a piano-heavy take on Holiday's 'Take Ecstasy With Me'. Finally, the show-closing 'Grand Canyon' proved to be the perfect culminating number. The Magnetic Fields continue their Town Hall residency tonight, Saturday and Sunday. All engagements are sold out. Visit The Magnetic Fields at their official site.
