Built to Spill - Stop the Show (live on Reverb, 1999)

[AtomicAntics]

I remember watching this episode back in the day. I had never heard of this band and I was totally blown away. Thanks for uploading this!

[cobyblack]

I just recently found out about these guys, they are great! Does it say Pixie on his guitar? Is it reference to Pixies? Which, by the way, is my favorite band

[taylorbortnerathing]

@cobyblack i think it is probably his girlfriend or wife. on doug's (the vocalist) guitar it says something like "kerena" with a heart next to it. the other guy (brett?) has "pixie" with a heart. i think if we were referencing the pixies he would have made it plural. it's probably just a tribute to their girlfriends or something, which would be really cool because it's the opposite of "rock 'n' roll"

[cobyblack]

@taylorbortnerathing yes, now I think you are right, I watched the time trap video from this show and noticed that it says karena on vocalist's guitar, so it must be the same with this guitarist, and I totally agree with you that it would be really cool, they don't seem to pretend to be something they aren't, they just play awesome music, the little thing today's bands put in second place while putting image in the first.

[taylorbortnerathing]

@cobyblack not ALL of today's bands do that

[cobyblack]

@taylorbortnerathing please don't tell me that you think that I didn't know that, but it is fucking standard. And most of standard bands have questionable goals. like money, but there are tons of original bands.

[taylorbortnerathing]

@cobyblack well i don't know you so i wasn't sure if you were one of those people who thinks that everything modern is bad and everything old is great. "they don't make them like this anymore" etc. i mean i think we're sort of in a bad time musically right now, but i don't think there's NOTHING good coming out and i also think soon good stuff will become more abundant

[cobyblack]

@taylorbortnerathing I agree, well I tend to think that older stuff is better. But that is because back in the day industry was interested in real talents, which could make great music and sell it, and nowadays they're making their own "talents", there's so much bad music and it is so hard to find something good, it looks like most people are much softer and lazier now, but there are and always will be true artists

[MrBuira]

Hermoso!!!

[rives33]

this song is unreal...

[barboaz]

The instrumental part from around 2:00 and 'till around 3:45 is as good as it gets

[JustinIsThe1UWant]

after awhile you know their style and that's enough to know they suck

[m0destm0useisg0d]

what is the title of the album that contains this live DVD?

[orbfile]

@m0destm0useisg0d There is no DVD of this that I know of. There is a live album that is a compilation of different performances including songs from the HBO show Reverb, which is where this clip is from.

[blackfoliage1]

Incredible performance. I prefer this version than the one actually on "Perfect From Now On."

[BadAsYou]

I've been looking for this episode forever!
