5_moves_of_doom Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 I'll make this as short and sweet as I possibly can. Just picked up one of Built to Spill's albums. Thought it was really good. Coincidentially, I discovered that they're playing near me in 10 days for $16. So, the question is -- for anyone who knows much about them -- are they any good live? Would it be worth it? Thanks to anyone who answers. Sorry the post is so brief, but I just want to know as soon as possible.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 Yeah, I think so. Some people complain that band has no stage presence; anyone who says that has a valid point—Doug Martsch never looks comfortable if he isn't staring at his guitar—so you'd have to really be a fan of the music, which, fortunately, is strong enough.
nl5xsk1 Posted August 3, 2004 Report Posted August 3, 2004 I personally haven't seen them but the live tracks that I've heard were really good, and the people that I know that have seen them have said good things. You've got little to lose by checking them out ... I'd say go and then let us know what you thought.
5_moves_of_doom Posted August 3, 2004 Author Report Posted August 3, 2004 I think I'm going to go ahead and give them a try. Not much to lose, seeing as how it's only $16 or $17.
nl5xsk1 Posted August 4, 2004 Report Posted August 4, 2004 They're actually playing 2 nights in Boston at the end of September, so I might actually go check them out as well ... pending your 'review' of the show. If it sounds worth going to, I'll probably check out one of the Boston shows, or maybe the Friday show at Lupo's in RI, just because how cool Lupo's is.
Narcoleptic Jumper Posted August 5, 2004 Report Posted August 5, 2004 they're an incredible live band. i don't know what they ^^^ are talking about.
