Built to Spill

In the November 30, 1998, live recording at WOW Hall, Built to Spill was at an intriguing juncture in their trajectory. Just before this performance, they had released *Perfect from Now On* in 1997, an album that cemented their status in the indie rock scene with its intricate melodies and introspective lyrics. The band's ability to translate complex emotions into sound was a highlight of that era, and this live performance of “Broken Chairs” showcases their signature blend of dynamic guitar work and poetic resonance. Interestingly, lead singer Doug Martsch is known for his unique, unrefined vocal style, which adds a raw authenticity to their live shows, making each concert a truly immersive experience. Fans often rave about the energy of their performances, and judging by the video description, this was no exception—indeed, it sounds like an electrifying moment that left the audience buzzing long after the last chord!
