Built to Spill

In January 1994, when Built to Spill delivered that electrifying performance of "Car" at the Capitol Theater, they were riding the wave of their critically acclaimed album, *There’s Nothing Wrong with Love*, released just a year earlier in 1994. This album marked a pivotal moment in their career, showcasing Doug Martsch’s signature blend of introspective lyrics and innovative guitar work. The Capitol Theater gig became one of those magical moments that encapsulates the spirit of the '90s indie rock scene—raw, unfiltered, and brimming with authenticity. It’s interesting to note that around this time, the band was gaining a loyal following, bolstered by their engaging live shows. Doug’s charisma really shines through in this performance, connecting with the crowd in a way that feels both intimate and grand. Talk about capturing the essence of a moment; the old-school video magic really lets you relive the energy of that night!
