My favorite thing is right before they played this, Doug asked the sound guy how much time they have and he said they had time for one more, so they ripped a 17 minute song off to close it out.

[@jrocpojangles]

It’s built to spill, you should know what you’re getting into when you ask them to close out a set 😂

[@missvincent7017]

That’s awesome! Lol

[@RednaZela]

Broken chairs your body conforms to. That lyric hits me so hard.

[@danielramirez6226]

You wrote that 7 years ago and I just had the exact same thought just now!!

[@VirmanaMarketing]

Broken Chairs is just an amazing song... ot sounds like hope and despair... and longing for something... like walking aimlessly in a desert and finding an oasis... the lyrics are flawless and the music is just perfect. One of my favorite songs and this live version is the best on out there.

[@ivankarczewski8582]

One of the best rock band on the planet (along with Ween)!

[@BrainDedd96]

modest mouse is a great band too

[@ApostateofHELL]

Agreed in TOTALITY.

[@adamlangdon11]

Two of the all time greatest..

[@Hungorthegiant]

chaboy!!!

[@dudemanaric]

Bro are you me? They're like my favorite bands hahahahah

[@jmorgan3977]

Considering the rotating lineup nature of Built To Spill, I bet Doug choosing you to play guitar with him has gotta be some kind of honor.

[@emelleoh88]

It hurts my heart... this song is a poem written by my best friend. That they made this song is so beautiful, and a testament to Uhurus legacy of kick ass creativity.

[@maximoplf]

Tell us more about it

[@hayleyb467]

Go on... ♡♡♡

[@aquamech154]

Any more details?

[@danbales6732]

Bump

[@2112iscoming]

I've always known this was based off a poem. Do you have any insights for us?

[@missvincent7017]

This is is incredible! Broken Chairs is my favorite ❤️ I want to go back to the night I saw Built To Spill, Smoking Popes and Jawbreaker play and just stay there forever! Built to Spill is one of the best bands EVER!!!!

[@brittgondolfi]

These men are my musical heroes!

[@pete_kane]

The ad role in the middle of the guitar solo at 5:44 ruined the entire upcoming year for me.

[@matthewryan4344]

Best indie band, along with Pinback!! 2 of my favorites. I honestly dont know who I love more.

[@riffsvanwinkle]

6:35 Doug’s guitar playing says indie rock legend but his shoes say grocery store assistant manager.

[@hayleyb467]

Which makes him all the morr badass!

[@hayleyb467]

Hehe more

[@arabcadabra8863]

That just made my day :)

[@hugotakeshi]

*assistant TO THE regional manager.

[@aphaiknaime5920]

This might be one of their best recorded live performances as a whole, so it’s a damn shame that there’s ads in the middle of it now 🙄, especially the one right after the vocal finally kicks in lol

[@SolamenteVees]

Doug's songs live rent-free in my head forever.

[@thirdunkle]

uplifting, transcendent and about as good as it gets. They are just terrific. Why did it take me so long to discover them?

[@mattvankirk4041]

Thats what Ive been saying for 6 months. Its like I had my head in the fucking sand all this time.

[@reidelsass7488]

These guys are my favorite nuance REAl rock band of all time

[@OrcsBR]

The joy in the face of the man and woman @1:33 is priceless!!!

[@KrautCat]

This song is playing in my head everyday.

[@missvincent7017]

I woke up with a bts song in my head today! It was rad. I’d love that to keep happening

[@abt6419]

20 year anniversary tour this year and I got tickets 😍😍😍

[@reel_girl05]

4:57-6:20 easily one of the best things I’ve ever seen

[@stephanemalhomme]

"Broken chairs" is such a striking visual metaphor, on one hand a chair, a supportive thing, what you get a rest on, or chat with family or friends on. And "broken" suggests violence and trauma, or simply the aftermath of a particularly horrific fight. Such amazing lyrics and melody. Argh. Always that band, and that song is one of their finest. Doug is without a doubt one if not the most talented rock songwriter of his generation.

[@Lunibruniful]

1. Doug didnt write this 2. The broken chairs, are society To sit upon such a chair, your body must conform to the flaws, and fit in, if you want rest.

[@aphaiknaime5920]

Also Built to Spill definitely still wrote the music for this song, but the words are a poem from one of their friends who has long since passed (Uhuru Black).

[@brentkelly9864]

Absolute masterpiece of sonic existentialism. Incredible.

[@joannaholder]

Saw this tour in Raleigh, NC. Still fucking amazing after all these years!

[@mikerichard1446]

First contakt was live on lsd.....my favorite concert in my lifetime.so thankful for this special moment!!!!!

[@daphne-blue]

man this song breaks my heart, I love it so much 💙

[@dannybursace9151]

Epic! Every time I listen to it I pick up something new....just fantastic.

[@ChristopherNeill]

I can't love this enough. Doug is the nicest rock god I've ever met, next to Jason Isbell.

[@johnkpublic]

who is the one doink that "thumbs down'd" this fantastical song?! C'mon......

[@dannybursace9151]

Who could give this a thumbs down?

[@Kelcb_]

“we’re done when i say we’re done”

[@matthewryan4344]

Doug is in 100 best guitarists of all time according to Rolling Stone! No wonder!! And yet no one knows this loud, silent legend!!!

[@kassandrarivera]

This guys are just amazing! I love listening to them just jam ❤️

[@ciarono1093]

I keep coming back to hear how the guitar harmonises with the lyric 'mirrors of apprehension'.

[@darcsaster]

iconic rock song. well played, sirs

[@joelm1209]

Oh man. It's great to see all the guys doing what they do best

[@innovatronicssderldecv5724]

Cada vez que la escucho explota mi mente, a mejor banda de rock...

[@straightcashhomey1261]

Anyone rocking a Vonnegut shirt is a total beauty

[@Cjloken]

Simply amazing

[@brucutu9378]

Brutaaal!! Temazo

[@AdamThacker79]

I demand compensation for the fact that my face is now just a puddle on the floor in front of me.

[@hayleyb467]

And someone help me find my socks!

[@ricenc]

So good. Bring back the extra guitars!!

[@drluch1522]

Greatest band ever. Every member is tight.

[@Magnaza]

Supersession!

[@DeathStigmata]

Didn't knew that Ricardo Montolivo was also the drummer of this fucking awesome band.

[@stephenrose9845]

Love it ! he could be considered the montolivo of drumming too. not flashy. hard working. consistent and always on time. the heartbeat of the team

[@neajeagle1346]

"una más" y se mandan una versión de casi 18 minutos... Más bandas así por favor!!!

[@matthewryan4344]

I will see him live in August 2021 in Milwaukee.

[@humbugHope]

How was it?

Just saw BTS at the Fillmore last night and they fucking SLAYED this tune. One of the best damn songs ever written IMO

[@justinbogenschutz3004]

All the young hipster kids, getting schooled by the old dudes on how to rock right.

[@nateatchison161]

Justin Bogenschutz these guys kill it every time. Word.

[@-0-getliffe476]

I'm an 'Old Dude' and Built to Spill were derivative back in the day, and they definetly arn't 'rocking right' with age. They compentaly do what others do much better.

[@lazerblade2]

Derivative? From who, the Pixies? Give me a break.

[@aquamech154]

Chris Getliffe What a clown 🤡

[@stephenrose9845]

@@-0-getliffe476 ok. lol. I know the exact dude you are at a concert. so lame. pissed because you arent 23 and discovering new music. Doug is easily better at guitar smithing than any of his contemporaries from that era and genre. get a grip. sorry that not every tour is a pixies/pavement/smiths/joy division/elliott smith resurrection tour. Go listen to wilco and spoon and continue being a hipster. Dug and Brett outshred any indie guitar duo ever. ill put them up against any duo on pure sonic guitar smithing.

[@Daniel-yt6sc]

Doug’s sweat makes a circle that looks like a sombrero and starts looking like zapata

[@konstantinosbg]

..epic....

[@reel_girl05]

I can’t believe this is even real.

[@timothysnow2173]

boy the ads really destroyed the experience of this performance. ya gotta be kidding me

[@jenniferwilz5487]

Carrie Underwood seems to really like this song.

[@walkallnite4223]

And Janis is singing along.

[@thenumen5245]

+Jennifer Wilz Merle is not impressed.

[@jenniferwilz5487]

? See the grinning poster behind the band.

[@LFRALPHNSTUFF]

this is such a fucking chune.

[@reidelsass7488]

Doug needs to teach me play/sing/write

[@robkolakowski3692]

Every band member replaced except the slide guitar. No substitute.

[@robkolakowski3692]

The slide guitarist would be the easiest to replace.

Doug Martsch looks a lot like Krist Noveselic. I'm sure I'm not the first to make this observation.

[@TheGuitarifier]

You probably are because he looks nothing like him.

[@kevinmurtagh4996]

I was just thinking the same thing the other day! And even more so than looking like him, his voice sounds IDENTICAL to Krist’s voice! Listen to interviews with Doug- their voices are 100% the same.
