Product Description

Amazon.com
While additional guitarists Brett Nelson of Caustic Resin and Jim Roth of the Delusions pop up in a couple of tracks on Built to Spill's Live, the person most responsible for the extra-crispy sound is Phil Eck. He produced the Idaho-based trio's last two albums, the critically acclaimed Keep It Like a Secret and Perfect from Now On, and here he mans the soundboard to make sure the band's dynamic combination of the intimate and the explosive comes through just right. Live is one of the shinier sounding in-concert documents in recent memory, sounding (at times) more like a polished studio project rather than a collection of live cuts. This works in the group's favor, especially during psychedelic moments such as "I Would Hurt a Fly." Live won't stem the fanatical bootlegging and tape trading among devout fans, but it's a fine sonic souvenir of alt-rock's quirkiest power-pop-'n'-jam band. --Jason Josephes

- Reviewed in the United States on November 8, 2004Sorry, overserious music critics, that's the truth. This is a guitar player's wet dream, a sonic masterpiece. The sound is crisp and clean, and the interplay between the left- and right-channeled guitars is amazing. Song selection and sequencing is perfect.
Without "Live," I don't know how I would have coped immediately after 9-11. I just got in the car and drove, singing as loud as my speakers could play.
Can't say much more strongly: If you like guitar, give this album a spin. It's what's right about music.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2013I found this live CD helpful in my greater appreciation of this band. I have never seen them live but I would highly recommend giving this a listen since it made realize how well they re-create the excitement felt in their studio releases.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2018The cover of Neil Young's Cortez the Killer is worth the price of admission alone.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 16, 2015Not many bands sound as good live as they do on their album. However, Built to spill is that rare jewel that sounds amazing in album and in concert. I highly recommend this album.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2014I am blown away by this album, 2 20 minute jam sessions, amazing
- Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2015One word. Awesome.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2006It took me a few years to finally buy this album, even though I am a big Built to Spill fan. The reason was simple, most of the songs were from an album I didn't particularly like when it came out (Perfect From Now On) and only a few were from my favorite two (There's nothing Wrong with Love & Keep It Like A Secret).
When I finally did buy it I was pleasantly surprised. First of all I had a renewed appreciation for the band when I had another go at 'Perfect From Now On' and loved it this time around. As a previous reviewer has said, the versions on here are mostly better than on the studio albums and really gives a good sense about the live-band they are. Making it even sadder that Doug never flies over to Europe, the last time I saw them here was around 1996... but fortunately I saw them in Boston and this album is very similar to the experience I had there.
The guitar sounds meander along in time like on 'Cortez' the killer but never get boring, like so many other guitar bands get when they have jams like this. And that's what makes this album special, even in 19 minutes you never get bored.
Great live album, not the best ever as some have said, but up there.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2020great quality live recording, really has the heart of bts in it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uno dei LIVE più belli!
Un gruppo che non conoscevo bene. Acquisto azzeccassimo. Niente da dire ottima track list e una grande versione di Cortez The Killer di Neil Young.
- MojomackReviewed in Canada on August 9, 2016
5.0 out of 5 stars Built to Kill!
Ok, I would say that Built to Spill is in my top few bands so it would have to be very bad for a bad review. That said, Cortez the Killer cover is worth the price alone. 20 minutes of awesomeness in one song; the rest of the CD is also good.

4.0 out of 5 stars Super Live-Album
Besonders die Cover-Version von Neil Youngs "Cortez The Killer"
ist grandios! Wer vor teilweise über 20 Minuten langen Liedern
in ihrem authentischen Live-Gewand nicht zurückschreckt, ist
hier bestens bedient.
