Hi, Brad. Greetings from a lapsed Witness. Excellent pieces. Apart from Wussy, I've seen more MF shows than any other act's over the past 20 years. When they tour, they regularly play near me at the Tarrytown (NY) Music Hall. And frankly, I've seen some underwhelming MF shows. Dullness can be an issue. No complaints whatsoever, however, about the splendid 69LS shows I saw in April. The band and its arrangements knitted, Stephin Merritt was Stephin Merritt, and the material! The record's an aetheist's miracle. P.S. Claudia Gonson came out both nights to sing one song: "If You Don't Cry" and personal-favorite "Yeah! Oh Yeah!"

I can definitely imagine being disappointed by the MFs if they weren't playing many of the best songs of their era!
