I have a great Doug story. The nicest guy in the world.. about 15 years ago my wife and I travelled 6 hours from Thunder Bay Ontario to Minneapolis to see them at first ave.. we didn’t get tickets ahead of time and found out quickly that it was sold out. We were told by a local to try the local book store down the street from the old Let it be Records.. I asked the man at the counter if he had any tickets for the show and he said no that they were all sold out and sold out everywhere else.. I hear a sweet raspy voice behind me say “I can get you into the show” low and behold it was Doug! We talked for a good 10 minutes and he was so nice and he put us on the guest list. Such a down to earth “rock god”. Thanks Doug!

[briandesousa]

Doug is the most unassuming rock god ever.

First day I met my wife we ended up at a built to spill show( nuerolux in Boise) decided that night we should get married as a joke, well fast forward 28 years jokes on us - our youngest(18yrsold) went to her first Built to spill show with her boyfriend this past nice to have them as the soundtrack of our lives ... so thankful

No one asked, but I once cried in a bar when I heard them play the first note of "Time Trap".

[riffsvanwinkle]

I will probably listen to this a hundred times over the next eight years until the next time Built to Spill plays KEXP.

[stephenburke]

This bass player is giving me life. Nothing I love more than a band member singing lyrics to no one. Shows how much they love the tunes.

[BipolarDinosaur]

I just seen Doug live on Sunday and man, what an amazing performer.

[jclfsfg]

Built to Spill is like the reliable father of the PNW. They show up to all the games and actually care.

[vivkonz]

I stayed after to talk to Doug a few months ago and while we were chatting a homeless man came up and unassumingly asked us for money for a beer. Doug went into his tour bus and gave him 2 nice IPAs lol. I ended up having a great conversation with him and the opening band for 20 or so minutes, a night I'll never forget

[jimnowierski]

It's lame that Doug wasn't featured on Idaho's state quarter.

[ututat]

I want to wish all the Built to Spill fans a very pleasant evening.

[Gramercy_Stiffs]

She is a weapon on the bass and an absolute ray of sunshine to boot.

Dug is a wizard as ever but Melanie makes their shows pop, such an amazing performer. Hope she and Teresa stay on for the long haul.

[heywally]

Stellar set. I’m 70 …. no other music like Doug’s in my lifetime and I’m appreciative, especially these days. Love the “power trio” format too.

[WillWheeler-qb]

Hurt a Fly gives me a goosebump, makes a single tear run down my cheek. I will always miss her.

[Nick-ipfc]

man, this guy is such a fluid guitar player... KEXP sound mix and engineering is on point as always

[bito]

Love Cheryl, love Built To Spill, what a Friday treat.

[SambeFolio]

Doug's voice tells you he cares about the wellbeing of humanity.

[elizabethbednar]

I was just telling my daughter about hanging out with these guys after the concert they were so nice
