Built To Spill - 'Car' Live Performance at Troubadour, West Hollywood

Venue: Troubadour Location: West Hollywood, CA, United States Date: July 1, 2006

On July 1, 2006, Built to Spill performed at the iconic Troubadour in West Hollywood, right around the time they were transitioning from their album *You in Reverse*, released in 2006, which showcased a more polished sound compared to their earlier, rawer work. This live recording, though not capturing the entire song “Car,” reflects the band's signature blend of complex melodies and introspective lyrics that resonate deeply with fans. A fun tidbit? Doug Martsch, the band's frontman, is known for his unique guitar techniques and heartfelt performances, making shows like this one electrifying experiences. At this point in their career, Built to Spill was still riding the waves of critical acclaim while maintaining their loyal following, solidifying their place within the indie rock scene. Who doesn’t love a good live moment that reminds us why we fell in love with music in the first place?
