Built to Spill

In the summer of 2007, Built to Spill was on the cusp of releasing their album *Keeping Temperature*, which came out in 2009. At the time of the live recording in Sydney on July 10, 2007, their previous album, *You in Reverse* (2006), was still fresh and well-received, showcasing their signature blend of intricate guitar work and introspective lyrics. This performance at the Metro Theatre is particularly interesting, not just because of the intimate venue but also because it captured the band in a transitional phase—balancing the critical acclaim of their earlier work while looking forward with anticipation to new material. One memorable aspect of this concert is the way the band weaves their timeless hit "Reasons" into the setlist, eliciting pure joy from the audience and delivering a raw energy that's emblematic of their live performances. It's not just about nostalgia; it’s about sharing a moment that fans still cherish, blending the past and future of their evolving sound.
