Concerts In 2008

Built to Spill

02/01/2008 - The Zoo

The Year started with an absolute highlight: Built To Spill. A band I didn't know about 3 years ago but is now one of my favourites. Endless guitar soli. Three guitarists on the stage and an encore that lasted 45 minutes for one song.

Something that survived time and is still fresh.
