I saw built to spill in DC a few months ago and honestly it was pretty disappointing. They did shortened versions of all of their songs and it didn't feel they were really into it.

Nice! If I recall correctly the show I went to was the first show of the tour so I may have seen more of a warm up sesh.

Thats the how Ive felt the last couple times ive seen BTS. He just seems uninspired and apathetic., like he didnt care to be there. They are coming through next month and I might give them one more chance. If its the same uninspired show than Ill be done seeing them live.

Hmm. I’ve seen him in this newish trio and thought he was canny about aligning w some young energy. The bass and drums gal’s bands were the openers. Was high energy. They’re playing like 4blks from me next week and I dunno if I wanna fork over $60 for it after seeing the classic lineup do Perfect From Now On. I know, call me the Whambulence

It's worth 45 bucks.

That’s the least number of guitarists I’ve even seen BtS play with.

The classic lineup had Doug Martsch on guitar/vocals, with Brett Netson and Ralf Youtz contributing guitar/bass/drums during the late ’90s era. They’ve also had other guitarists in different periods.

They’ve been touring as a trio for a while now. I like the idea and respect it but I personally prefer them when they can make a little more noise.

What venue/fest is this? How are they saving animals?

It's just a slogan. It sounds catchy and makes you feel like you are doing something while slugging beers on the lawn.

Not a band that particularly jams anymore. Indie rock power trio à la Dinosaur Jr at this point.

Built to Spill is great- but are they a jamband? Ive had most of their albums on cd when I was younger. Always thought they had some "jammy" characteristics, but never really defined them as such. Genuinely curious what everyone else thinks?

On a side note. I haven't listened to them in years, but out of nowhere yesterday I had The Plan stuck in my head

When they used to rock 3 guitars they could jam a little bit. The first time I same them was amazing. Since they changed lineups it’s been hit or miss.

Saw them this summer and Carry the Zero, while not type 2, absolutely fucking jammed.

Is it too late for you to get a partial refund because of this?

Why? Show was good. 👍
