Built To Spill!!!!

that's awesome, AT.

i didn't know you were into them.
i'm surprised you guys haven't seen me mention this band before on the forums. but i probably only do in the psychedelic forums, so you probably wouldn't have seen it.


i made my mind up
convinced my brain
i lied on accident
trying to explain

but all the things that i was told
and the people that told me
how could i not believe
the bad things that
everyone else sees?

~the first song

 

I hadn't heard of them before...
I listened to a portion of all the tracks...
I'm :leaving:

You didn't even invite me?? (lol.. j/k.)

Hope you have a good time. It's in Buffalo, correct?

 

Enjoy! :2thumbsup:

 

it was in ithaca tonight

buffalo tomorrow


SO. FUCKING. GOOD.

 

What was the set list like? I was really hoping they'd play the weather at the show I went to, but they didn't.

 

they played Stab like 2nd. that was awesome

and they played a lot of good stuff, my memory is kinda hazy right now though.

but i was just reading about the show at Irving Plaza...man i'm jealous! they got Get a Life, In the morning, Goin against your mind, Car....they didn't play any of that here.

some off the top of my head they played:
You were right
carry the zero
they got away
big dipper
don't fear the reaper cover
yeah...i'm hoping someone documents this better than i did

 

i'll try to get the whole set up here eventually:

Traces
Stab

Kicked it in the Sun!

Strange
The Plan
Liar

You were right
carry the zero
they got away

(encore)
don't fear the reaper cover
Big Dipper

 

What substances did you imbibe in before or during the show?

 

two hits of acid and two sips of beer.

 

Nice!

They played that cover to don't fear the reaper also. I thought it was good but wondering why they did any covers?

Also a bad religion song, fuck what was it..

Untrustable
Goin against your mind
Carry the Zero
Liar

Damn, I'm having a hard time remembering. I mean I was drunk and on boomers but still

 

they are kinda known for doing cool covers right?
they've been doing this Don't fear the reaper one, and a Smith's cover, 'how soon is now' on this tour. i wish they woulda played that instead.

they've covered I try by macy gray.
and of course the infamous Cortez the killer

i think virginia reel around the fountain is a cover - though it's by the halo benders, another band that doug was in


one of the guys from slam dunk came out for don't fear the reaper, and pretended to play along on the guitar. he was like dancing back to back and doing funny stuff with the bass player. and they had a guy hammering on the cowbell haha.


how fucking terrible were those opening bands?
i thought i could hear some slightly good guitar riffs by the warm hair, when the dude would shut up long enough. but then again, maybe the acid was just starting to kick in?

then built to spill took the stage and we knew what real good music sounded like.
Traces is a good one to start with. one of my favorite actually.
"i know it's hard
sometimes for you to tell
where you end
and where the world begins"

(oh man that was so damn good last night!)

they opened with that at both shows that i've seen. and they played stab both times which might be my favorite song if i had to pick one. i dunno though

 

and the show you went to was Oct 25th? at jackson beach?

it's one of the only ones not on this site

i'm hoping mine gets put up there. uploaded to youtube would be golden!




do you remember what they opened with?

this is a good one. i wish they would have played ONE song from their first album. such as first song, get a life, revolution, built to spill

Hahaha you are super stoked just like I was the day after. Man, I don't even know what they opened with. At that point I was kind of just in awe to actually see them and felt like I was peaking. I think it was Liar but I'm not 100% on that.

Yeah I saw them in Jacksonville Beach. Have the ticket stub up on my fridge still haha.



About the covers, I didn't know that and this was my first time seeing them live so I was kind of surprised. They did such a good job with don't fear the reaper though, it was like being back in the day or something. And we walked in with about 10 min left on the 2nd opening bands set, I think slam dunk? They were kind of rockabilly and had the female bassist, and they were doing crazy shit with the mics. I kind of liked them. They would've gotten annoying fast but had a good sound :2thumbsup: Then the singer was standing with us for most of built to spill's set

 

yeah that was slam dunk. i didnt like them much. they played 1st last night though. then The warm hair.

 

Now I'm really bothered that I can't even remember what they opened with. I wonder if it is on youtube
