Built To Spill Live Concert Performance of 'Get A Life'

Date: 1995

In January 1995, when Built to Spill performed "Get A Life," they were riding high on the release of their third studio album, "Perfect from Now On." This pivotal album, which hit the shelves just months later in March, showcased their signature blend of alternative rock and introspective lyrics, earning them critical acclaim and expanding their fanbase. The live recording captures the band's energetic essence and dynamic stage presence during this transformative period in their career. Interestingly enough, "Perfect from Now On" is often regarded as a cornerstone of 90s indie music, highlighting their evolution as songwriters and musicians. This concert not only marked a significant moment for the band, but it also reflects the DIY spirit of that era, with Jon's video shot on retro Video 8, making it a cherished artifact of both the band's history and 90s music culture. What an incredible window into a time when alternative rock was carving out its place in the mainstream!
