[@davidcipolla4036]

Yes Justin Peroff is THE MAN!!! Sooo good, and adds the perfect touch to BSS. No drummer could replace him in BSS, that's for sure. 💯🙌

He's not just some actor, man!

[@citylims]

Strombo: So how much gear are you bringing? BSS: Yes.

[@homelessEh]

ALL THE GEARS

[@drownthepoor]

Ironically, they used mostly tiny amps here. Which they only seem to do when they know the venue is on point. I can remember being a band and absolutely needing to have a half-stack. I was a bass player though, and it was a metal band so I wanted hear the guitar players telling me to turn it down a notch for once :)

[@shionax9235]

i cannot express with words how much i adore this band and their music. they make me feel all the joy of life, by making loud noise and spreading love. i don't tend to share this band with other people because most people i know don't like this type of music, but they will forever be special to me.

[@thenderson5509]

Can't put my finger on it. They remind me of the late 80's. I'm gonna figure out what band they remind me of. I'm enjoying their music.

[@thenderson5509]

The Cure - Pictures of You Listen to it, I'll bet a weeks pay it was an influence.

[@philipchan5001]

Agree! Just lush!!!

[@Terrywl1668]

Their music has so many layers. Love them.

[@GRSM000]

AMEN BROTHER

[@sbingham1979]

There is something so special about this performance. The more I listen to/watch it the more I want to see/hear it again. It is just so heart-felt and moving. This band has obviously reached that pinnacle where true magic can happen in performances. I have just ordered 4 of their albums on the basis of watching this, as well as other KZbin offerings: KEXP in Seattle, and other early and excellent performances on the starsandspit KZbin channel. I am loving this band -- thank you so much for sharing this.

[@ninjapatman]

I agree. True magic is a good way of putting it. The energy is so strong. I think about this performance often.

[@woodzycon]

They are amazing

[@joemikehunt4407]

Finally a properly mixed live show from BSS!!! I am at peace...what a wall of beautiful sound.

[@GRSM000]

sounds almost like na studio album, amazing.

[@coachU2]

The set from Lollapalooza 2006 is also pretty good. No pro shot video on that though.

well this time they were "only" 4 guitars

[@loganbishop4445]

sound guy killed it. wow.

[@keithklassen5320]

Well you're not hearing a feed from the floor, this'll be a mix of all their feeds after the show is done. Of course it still does require a good sound tech to get this kinda quality from each individual instrument.

She is but Kevin’s voice is pretty special too. They are all incredible artists.

[@RSchep2]

Honestly, no band knows how to have fun with one another after so many years like these guys.

[@jorgecalderon4234]

This is one of the most magical live performances I've seen... so familiar, joyful and intimate, and at the same time so masterfully executed from a musical point of view, this moment is something you can call sublime, Im glad they captured it in such quality

Fell in love with "1972". I keep coming back for that song.

Amen!

Never heard of this band, but when the horns first hit in the 2nd song, i’m sold. Thanks, Strombo

Really fascinating watching all the electric guitars playing together and off each other in the first song - some beautiful sounds.

Oh man Socom 2 was so good. Green up!

@@ShaneAOF Foxhunt/Seals was my jam. What was your specialty? Remember when you could actually specialize in ONE map instead of being taken through dozens of non-unique maps? Green up!

[@ShaneAOF]

@@SwitcherooU Oh there's so many. I was a big fan of Desert Glory, Crossroads, Night Stalker, Fish Hook. Probably forgetting some but it was probably the best online experience I've had. The chat rooms and lobbies still seem more advanced than todays random mess. Plus the clan wars!

Can't tell if I'm more in love with Ariel or 1972...

Ariel's awesome.

i absolutely love the idea of broken social scene. never REALLY got into their music, i just knew it was an ever changing group of friends/musicians/ guests that just made music on their terms. without limitations. thanks guys, strombo, the CBC..........i listened last night, and now watching a fun atmosphere and wonderful songs.

DEFINITELY check out You Forgot It In People and their self-titled album in full if you haven't yet! Soo many good songs on those albums. Cause=Time, 7/4 (Shoreline), Superconnected, It's All Gonna Break......

I feel the same. I think their songs are great, I just cannot bring myself to actually like them much.

[@thomasbraun6097]

Can you explain me what broken social scene exactly is? I dont know them but i am just listening to the first song and im really enjoying it. Is it rather kind of a project than a band?

[@keithklassen5320]

@@thomasbraun6097 They have some fairly consistent members, and some less consistent ones, and then some who only come around every once in a while, like Haley's Comet or Leslie Feist. Brendan Canning is pretty much always there, as is Jason Collett.

[@StereoAnthony]

I've always felt the same also! When I first moved to Toronto in 2005 and EVERYBODY was talking about them, I tried and tried to get into them, but nothing really took. It was during a time when I felt like I was loosing touch with current music and thought I was just getting old, and didn't understand it, as with alot of music during that time, plus I was in a seriously dark time in my life where I felt completely lost for a number of years. Listening to it now though, I really like it! It sounds much better than I remember the records sounding!! I'll have have to go back and listen to the records! edit: Charles Spearin comes into the restaurant I work at all the time with his family.
