Holy crap. I’ve seen them before, but this show was amazing. There are a lot of things to appreciate about their set, but I will refrain from reducing it to a list and just …. sigh

The Magnetic Fields - I Wish I Had An Evil Twin
I wish I had an evil twin
running ‘round doing people in
I wish I had a very bad
and evil twin to do my will
to cull and conquer, cut and kill
just like I would if I weren’t good
and if I knew where to begin
Down and down we go
how low no one would know
sometimes the good life wears thin
I wish I had an evil twin
My evil twin would lie and steal
and he would stink of sex appeal
all men would writhe
beneath his scythe
he’d send the pretty ones to me
and they would think that I was he
I’d hurt them and I’d go scot free
I’d get no blame and feel no shame
‘cause evil’s not my cup of tea
Down and down we go
how low one would not need to know
all my life there should have been
an evil twin

There are only a few bands whose albums I make it a point to collect, and The Magnetic Fields is one of them. So far, the count is up to ten albums (one of which has three volumes) and one EP.
I have never seen them in concert, but that will change in a few weeks! Wheeeee!
