I can die happy now.
Seeing Broken Social Scene is a rapturous experience. If the Church held BSS concerts every week, I would convert.
They were missing several key members, and they're still brilliant. And Funny. And Nice. And generally overall Awesome.
When I first listened to the new album, I could kinda sympathise with people about how it was too"muddy" or too "dense." That is wrong. Go see them live. It's revelatory. Every element of the band, every part just fits in perfectly well together, everything.
To break down the concert via stats:
There were always atleast 6-8 members on stage at any time.
There were 4 guitairists/bassists. Who also played trumpets or sax.
Whenever there was a solo, there was atleast 3 people involved.
There was 1 very sexy looking lady with a violin. Another in a polka dot dress. And 1 audience member.
It went for 2 and half hours.
Best. Concert. Ever.
Even better than the Unicorns. Blasphemous, maybe, but...true. Fuck everything, go see them live.

BSS are so good that even there SOLO'S require 3 people.
2 bands populated entirely by frontmen doing a duet. Amazing.
