[@tallowyloch]

The footage from this show is the best Magnetic Fields footage on youtube. So wistful and nostalgic, before the band decided a single-line acoustic orchestra was the best way to present their music.

[@flixnet17]

8 years later, Merritt suffers from a hearing condition known as hyperacusis, which is why has a huge impact of why he performs the way he does now

[@joeydanielski962]

@@flixnet17 Still nice to see the songs represented this way.

He is a handsome Bear now! 😍

[@sm1thsisdead]

It's so weird to see Stephin playing an electric guitar and ... standing.

[@johnboys4697]

Standing ! 👍

[@sinnvollproductions]

It's really special, I agree. They decided to change their live gigs because of Stephin's hearing problems though.

[@gamothnpanagiamou]

All the summer days Where we used to play Walking hand in hand Castles in the sand So you said goodnight But you meant goodbye Now our love has died This is why I cry, cry From the madding crowd Pointing up at clouds Summer turned to fall Pictures on the wall So you said goodnight But you meant goodbye Now our love has died This is why I cry, cry So you said goodnight But you meant goodbye Now our love has died This is why I cry, cry

[@lancashirebomber9744]

as close to god as we try to get without thought

[@PLEROMAZERO]

...why i cry?

[@jacobrheaume1]

Stephin Merrit is a modern day reincarnation of Ian Curtis
