Members PB Wilson Posted September 18, 2005 Members Share Posted September 18, 2005 Built To Spill is coming to town shortly and I'm wondering if anyone has seen them live and I'm wondering if I should go. I haven't listened to them much, other than their live cd with a 20 minute version of Cortez the Killer. Whatta ya think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fourth Floor Posted September 18, 2005 Members Share Posted September 18, 2005 Go for it. I'd love to catch a show. But they've never been here. A much underated band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ollenorin Posted September 18, 2005 Members Share Posted September 18, 2005 ive seen them twice... first at a festival here in Stockholm 1999, and then at roskilde 2000. They are GREAT !!! check out Doug Martsch guitarplaying..hes got one of the best frettingarms ever...SUPERFAST...also hes got some fantastic solos and writes great songs. He usually wears shorts, a beard and plays a strat or a tele. Their best album is the second one "theres nothing wrong with love"...the classic song is "Car".

Members quesoreuso Posted September 18, 2005 Members Share Posted September 18, 2005 I've seen then twice. The second time was on 9/22/01 in NYC. Kind of a creepy time to be in NYC. They rocked it and did covers of What is Life? (George Harrison), Dream Police, Imagine, and the coolest, three guitar, note for note version of Freebird you'll ever hear. Strange watching a roomful of hipsters rock out to the most cliche loved/hated song ever. They have a new record on the way I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
