Built to Spill

In November 1999, Built to Spill was riding high on the success of their acclaimed album "Keep It Like a Secret," which had been released earlier that year. This album marked a significant point in their career, as it received widespread critical acclaim and showcased the band's distinctive blend of alternative rock with intricate song structures and poetic lyrics. The live recording of "The Plan" captures the band at a vibrant moment, just as they were solidifying their place in the indie rock scene. Notably, "Keep It Like a Secret" featured a more polished sound compared to their earlier works while still retaining their signature guitar-driven style. The performance in Austin highlights the band's energetic stage presence and the strong following they had cultivated by this point. Additionally, the video illustrates how Built to Spill adeptly translates their studio recordings into compelling live experiences, further solidifying their reputation as a formidable live act.
