The best live Magnetic Fields footage ever is this track. Amazing footage, thank you. Somehow this captures so much more emotion than their more recent stuff, more band members and whatnot, this is just amazing.
@tallowyloch This show cost only $6-$7 to get in! I mean, I like the Magnetic Fields, but who in their right mind would want to pay $30-40 to see them now?!
Thanks for posting this great vid, and all the others from this 1996 performance. Wow!!! ... I'm a HUGE Magnetic Fields fan, but I have to admit that I'm really not that crazy about some of the more recent era concert vids here on YouTube. They seem a little too "recital" like, a bit distant and formal. This stuff, however, absolutely KICKS ASS!!! Raw, simple, and basic. Aaaand .......... O So Beautiful ... !
When I saw them in Chicago a couple years ago, Stephin kept telling the band not to engage with the audience when they said/yelled things. Maybe this is why.
