Here’s the entire Primavera concert. It’s the 20th Anniversary of Keep it Like a Secret. I was there at ground zero (Seattle) for the release of Secret and then, the next summer, six consecutive nights of long, fiery, triumphant and transcendant BTS homecoming shows with the Delusions (at the time a great live band with a promising debut record). I wish I could recall more details from those performances (I think Cadallaca was the opener for at least one of the shows and frenzied Latin lover Ricky Martin was atop the charts that week), but by then, June 2000, six months after the end of the magical 90s, The Rocket was crashing fast and I had a zillion other things with which to torture myself. My powers of perception were worn low and my my patience was gone completely. Still, the six nights of Built to Spill (and the Delusions), at which every Seattle hipster was practically expected to (and did) attend two or more of the shows, had the feeling of a last gathering of the 90s tribes to witness something gripping and built to last, which this Secret music was and continues to be. It has lasted 20 years and longevity is 9/10ths of importance.
