The Magnetic Fields are one of the bands I’ve liked the longest while still having never seen them. I narrowly missed seeing them (for $8! oh, those were simpler times!) in 1999 and didn’t manage to see any tours after that.

In the end, it was somewhere in between. [...] [...] Going into the show I had reasons to want this show to be good and reasons I secretly hoped it would be bad.

And you didn't even like Low yet. I still haven't ever found a used copy of that record. Maybe I should just buy it already...
