69 Love Songs is exactly what it says on the tin: nearly three consecutive hours of amorous-themed tunes, all written by the group's mastermind Stephin Merritt. The album is a staggering showcase of his range as a songwriter, covering just about every genre imaginable and thoroughly chronicling the good, the bad, and the ugly sides of love.
The tour is currently in the middle of an eight-night run at Manhattan's Town Hall, where the band's original members are playing the album in its entirety for the first time in over two decades. Because a 69-song set is daunting, they are splitting the album up over two consecutive nights.
