Built to Spill @ 9:30 Club
Fresh from a stay in the Catskills playing this year’s New York installment of All Tomorrow’s Parties, Built To Spill came to town last night with just one album in its repertoire for the evening. The trend of playing classic albums in their entirety continues to grow, particularly with ATP’s Don’t Look Back series initiating so many such shows for their festivals. And if you’re going to spend time rehearsing the whole record, might as well take it on the road rather than just keep it for the one festival, right? It’s lucky that BTS decided not to limit their performances of 1997’s Perfect from Now On just to the ATP festival date; last night’s 9:30 Club crowd was treated to a performance that infused the decade-old record with renewed vigor.
