Awesome music and grooves! Found you guys from stacking.NYC a.k.a. Tommy! Love the silver stacking community! Great job and great community!

[@Whazzupissed]

You're doing God's work with those timestamps my friend, thank you.

[@sbingham1979]

There is just something so special about this band: the beauty of their music often makes me cry. It is mysterious. Maybe twining melodies and intersecting complexity of many guitars, instruments, voices, lyrics and the long-term commitment they have made to their music and to each other (despite comings & goings of members). I honestly don't know of anything quite like it. Love them.

[@gabrielsalinas1655]

sounds like an old friend

[@tylerpurrden]

indeed, so glad they're back

[@attackinberlin5895]

Such an underrated band

[@danielemilazzo432]

Looks Like Just The Sun, what a song!

[@MikeSignorelli_]

Was just thinking this!

[@panameraboomin7925]

one of the best kexp performances in my opinion

[@chrisw1060]

I really like their sound, I’ve never heard them before

[@TurTurex]

I grew up with this band, hope they'll be around for my kids so they can say the same!

[@scottcarlass8887]

I saw these guys play a free concert in Salt Lake City and I've never seen 20,000 people so collectively lose their mind and rock out to such a rocking performance in my life. AND they played all my favorites and then some. 1000 times better than any top 40 band could ever dream of creating.

[@yevgenyo2181]

Like meeting an old friend, this music always improves your mood!

[@ray.a.m.]

2:46 when the sax and trombone come in...that sound instantly nestles itself into my heart every time

[@VacantChannel]

Makes my heart and eyes water just by seeing you guys all on stage like this.

[@Muhdah1972]

Like how KEXP is always giving good music

[@GeorgeCilley]

I've missed this band.

[@Siskiyouoffroad]

I was lucky enough to see them in Eugene on the last tour (20 year anniversary of You Forgot it in People). WOW they are good live. It was probably my favorite live show I've ever been to, which is saying something since I've seen Rush who are also spectacular live. Their music is so moving and makes me feel in a way most artists can't. 1972 and Hug of Thunder in particular.

[@kruggyy]

Saw them in dc at 9:30 club and can say the same. Best show I’ve ever been to

[@KevKavanagh]

They're truly something else! I'm going to watch this again just to be sure it really was that good...

[@littlebemen925]

Absolute legends. Love you guys and the memories I have made with your music.

[@cluurinsebyrum6317]

In Washington working building internet for the schools on telephone poles when im here i see much beauty and think of broken social scene ty so much for the music and really being about something more CHANGE love u all

[@comewatchmediealot]

Can’t believe I’ve loved this band for over 20 years and they still release absolute bangers. Still an absolute joy. Ten years ago I finally managed to make a record that was inspired by them and contemporaries I was truly proud of it’s called “help keep the sadness out” and it’s on Spotify and I-tunes it’s a band called lightboxes and nobody really listened to it other than a few hundred people that saw us play in the uk. Our drummer quit before our first tour and just as we got a small deal to record and distribute our second ep I gave up on music and spiralled into depression and became a recluse afterwards. Last year I got a children’s picture book published and it’s now available in the Uk USA and soon Korea which is great 😊 but I’m lonely and still not the person I was back then playing floor shows with my friends and making strangers cry with my best friends. Rock bands especially ones with 3 or more guitars really are the best fun and do so much to heal the soul. ❤

[@AndrewWells]

Feels like a rumpled moth-eaten sweater that still feels great to put on when you haven't worn it in awhile...

[@astroluxuk]

This has to be one of my fave videos of all time!

[@zeo1087]

I know this just came out yesterday, but it really should have so much more views, this band kicks ass!

[@danielestupinan2036]

What an amazing performance! Love BSS! This, and House of Strombo shows are videos you can't stop playing.

[@matthewallen1491]

Great show - thanks again for the live music, KEXP!

[@pauljansky7971]

LOVE THIS BAND SOUNDS GREAT /THANKS EVERYBODY IN THE BAND

[@carloiemmola4591]

Can we all observe a moments' silence for the bass lick at exactly 17.39. Thankyou

[@jasonshields9443]

I can't believe i initially missed this performance. So good. I've never heard Pacific Theme sound better. Kudos BSS and KEXP

[@enricomarchetto8855]

quanto li adoro! un sound che mi emoziona sempre. fantastici!

[@MikeSignorelli_]

Usually love the KEXP mixes, and admittedly, this is a tall order- but felt like they missed it with this one.

[@mvitellaro3322]

Man, ever since watching the first KEXP show (alt-j) I struggle to find a better outlet/venue for bands aside from Austin city limits. KEXP never disappoints.

[@lestermagoo]

Too true. We have a local station WMNF that still keeps non-corporate radio vibe like this station, but they don't have live performances on this level. Definitely a playlist go to

[@cjbcarr1]

justin peroff is a massive talent

[@mjewelch]

I saw the Broken Social Scenes without him, and ... yeah.

[@volcaniadread]

i like how long intros builds me the expectation for the vocal 💙

[@alley8503]

its a song tho :)

[@PornoDisaster]

Lovely as ALWAYS. Thank you BSS!

[@lakerskakeru4247]

I still believe they are greatest alternative rock band existing in this world. Hug of thunder was just an epic album. Hope they comes to Japan and do lives someday!

[@SR91313]

Honestly I was really happy with "Hug of Thunder" after the previous album, which while it wasn't awful or anything, it just wasn't quite up to their usual level.

[@cantmando1]

Sheer brilliance.....keep on keeping on!

[@sayjelpatel8083]

so many marvelous memories watching them play

[@skeif]

I wanna live in a Broken Social Scene show. A record is ok too.

[@chieflionface9922]

Saw BSS live back in 07 in Nashville.. one of the best shows ive ever been to.

[@TheShaneBot]

Awesome Possum. Thank You.

[@burberryclaretred6676]

I love seeing BSS at Danforth Music Hall and Harbourfront concert stage amazing amazing !!! And will never forget their opening for arcade fire

[@jjgabbana]

god i needed this

[@white_chicken]

love them all

[@tctc2727]

Yes!

[@user-io6ve7ir6n]

I love you so much KEXP for everything you do.

[@rodrigomartinez9095]

This is excellent

[@danijelmiklic8493]

Vrlo lijepo. 🍯

[@Noodleydoo]

Perfect album

[@claudio.cisterna.m]

Tremenda banda! muchos matices de estilos, placer al escucharlos. ✌🤟

[@lcarthel]

Serious St. Vincent vibes. Also, props to BSC for bringing out actual brass players instead of lazy samples!

[@jacquelineannepoitras4053]

I miss you Daniel and Vanessa oxo

[@burberryclaretred6676]

❤️love love !!!

[@NormPetersonsBarStool]

Very cool

[@uncomely]

great set :)

[@Green89_]

I feel nostalgia with this band more than any other music. It’s painful.

[@jwetenkamp]

My favorite hipster dad band

[@adamhume3757]

Love this band. Surprised about the ponytail competition though.

[@nicolasmrn]

Stay happy temón.

[@SoniaDeCastro1]

Great drumming on set

[@mjewelch]

Ariel Engle is the perfect, best singer for the BSS, and Charles Spearin is the tastiest musician in the world.

[@henrikeriksson6910]

So damn good i do love this gang♥️

[@burberryclaretred6676]

My Spotify rated my fav band BSS !!!!

[@seanmcleay6308]

fab

[@varrick1226]

BSS are great and make me so happy!

[@sjfleishnetworkportal]

[@erryy9535]

❤

[@seanmcleay6308]

👏👏👏👏

[@TheJohnnycreep]

33.39 counting the 7/4 beat : D

[@rickeymeagley418]

Do the thumbs down people go to shows and boo?

[@tylerpurrden]

seriously wth

[@ColeKempcke]

I don’t think those people even go to shows anymore

[@jeffashby8024]

Indeed, why not just click the forward button instead of thumbs down...takes the same amount of energy!?

[@white_chicken]

@@jeffashby8024 doesn't matter for the thumbs are up or down at youtube. the main thing is only reactions (likes-dislikes-comments). and of course "thumbs down" doesn't matter for real good music )

[@nicolasmrn]

The voices in Art director reminds of Grateful dead.

[@ismaelbelda1]

I need more cowbell

[@dans1234tube5678]

I love this, love, love it. Thank you BSS, and yeah...33:07

[@cameronvanberkum240]

I do not recognize the femme vocalist and she's tremendous ! anyone know who they might be?

[@5tereotype]

she is Ariel Engle, have a great band to, La Force, listen upside down wolf, soo good!!!

[@TheStormpilgrim]

"No, we're not Steely Dan. More like...Irony Dan."

[@chiefobeef]

Sweet Silvertone U1 - i want!

[@galuhpastrana8455]

What happen with Ariel? :(

[@StrumVogel]

Did they lost like half of their members?

[@peepeepoopoo-zz6ff]

the long intro does build expectation for the vocals but whos gonna sing? it would be funny if it was the guy hitting the cowbells starts singing lmao

[@alley8503]

its a song tho :)

[@superorangeish]

That first song was yearning for a guitar solo

[@spinkicker27]

Where is Lisa Lobsinger?

[@mdu-gf6ch]

The guitarist on the Jag looks like Martin Starr from knocked up. But all kidding aside this is flawless.

[@enrizes]

I luv post rock

[@inefavelerrante]

Why does 7/4 always feels that the singer doesn't know the order of the verses?

[@coachU2]

Because he probably doesn't.

[@inefavelerrante]

@@coachU2 talking bout the female singer. Even Feist changes the order of the verses in some gigs.

[@chinogambino9375]

Do these guys have a genre? Playlists just say indie.

[@Xarmah]

chamber rock

[@maxbaer7026]

that dance at 8:05.......

[@ernieballsting]

Kevin drew looking like j Mascis

[@mathguy8874]

Jeff Bridges

[@noneya2066]

l o v e

[@wowwow8617]

These guys must be real hungry

[@petervroom6603]

Grateful dead of indie rock

[@rogersanders6219]

Peter Vroom I’ve thought that for a while, I love both bands🔉❤️

[@woodzycon]

Love them 😊

[@RealZacharyLee]

Damn Slipknot went soft.

[@edward3553]

Anyone else think Kevin looks and sounds exactly like Jon Lajoie? Google it.

[@GayleMI]

3rd Infantry patch

[@panameraboomin7925]

anthony kiedis on guitar ftw

[@mutrie]

They're good, but they need more guitars.

[@shanesmith5825]

Great set. Maybe just cut 7/4 Shoreline. Felt kind of butchered

[@burberryclaretred6676]

?

[@NewYorkRawVideos]

21:02 feels like the right song to play at the end of a long day knowing humanity has failed the earth in fighting climate change.

[@bactareality]

How dare you, 😂

[@raulosorio8574]

this band could have been one of the greatest bands ever. sadly they decay so bad. sad to watch this. one of the best shows are from new work live from terminal 5

[@helethead]

These people who don’t wear shoes. Stop it. Just put some shoes on, when you go home wear whatever you want.

[@LordHaveMercy]

First

[@wesleyalan9179]

🍪

[@raulosorio8574]

can somebody put some shoes on that thing. we need the broken social scene girls back!!!! not this wtf?

[@adamglenen734]

Ariel's gotta find something less cringe to do with her arms when not singing horrible dancer great voice though
