You can put me down for two more nights the next time they hit the on the road.Ĭheck out pictures from both nights on flickr. On three straight nights, no less.īut really, no matter where they play or who comes along for the ride, it is a spectacle unlike anything else in music today. They have thankfully gained enough popularity so that they can fill a venue like this to capacity with real fans who know what they're getting into. While there are always plusses to seeing anyone in the intimate confines of a small club, these shows just felt right. It is a completely overwhelming experience to see them perform on all cylinders like this. Everything about these guys is huge, from the number of personnel to the monumental sound. Seeing them on a stage this big allows them to let loose in ways a smaller club may act as a restraint. While many may complain about the various inadequacies of Webster Hall as an indie venue, I think we are lucky to be able to see a band like this take on a venue this size. Regardless, there is just so much coming from the stage at once, a single night to soak it all in hardly does the collective justice. With so many pieces in place, it’s hard to deviate from the plan without somebody missing the memo. Aside from a little stage banter from frontman Kevin Drew, These shows really didn’t differ too much. Not too shabby, but you need to go in expecting at least 12-15 of the same songs you heard the night before. Let me know (2) tickets to Feist & Lucy Dacus. Im interested in exchanging my GA floor ticket for tonight, April 21, for a seated first-level ticket. What's funny is it's not as if they have hundreds of songs to draw from or anything. Planning on being down at Massey at 8.45 so can meet up then. Saturday July 1st Surrey, BC Bill Reid Millennium Amphitheatre.
This is the one band that I not only am willing to go see more then once in a row, but I expect to make it a multiple day affair when they're around. Wednesday June 21st Toronto, ON Budweiser Stage.
It's hard to believe that members from three of their highest profile side projects (Stars, Jason Collett and Feist) weren't even there due to coinciding tours.
#WEBSTER HALL BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE FULL#
A total of 19 members on stage at one time, including a full horn section, Two drummers and countless instrument switches. Playing their first headline shows in the city in over a year, they managed to round up as many of the troops as they could muster. Was lucky enough to catch two of their three sold-out Webster Hall sets. I treated myself to four and a half hours of Broken Social Scene this weekend.
