Broken Social Scene Roll Call!

Who's going? I'm excited, cause I've only heard very good things about their live shows. I hope they play the fast (and superior) version of Major Label Debut.
I'll be wearing my newsboy cap and snapping a shitload of pictures. If you see me, feel free to say hi!

We moved, so I'll actually be catching the Seattle show on November 12th. I've heard good things, but I'm more curious about Feist, as I haven't heard any of her solo work. I like the stuff she's done with BSS and Kings of Convenience, so we'll see.

I am there. Just hope Leslie Feist doesn't see fit to lecture us on who Ron Sexsmith is again. Doesn't she realize some people grew up watching CBC?

Looks like I might have to unload my extra and go solo, but I'll be there.

Lisa Lobsinger has been doing "Anthem…" on the tour. However, your wish may come true. I was at the Philly show last night and BSS were there. Andrew Whiteman played with them the entire set and Kevin Drew did background vocals for a few songs. So I am quite confident that Stars will return the favour tonite (they've got an offnight and are en route to Raleigh so it all works out).

It would have been funnier if you just went ahead and reviewed the show before it happened.

from some boston blogger:
Last night was magical. The Broken Social Scene collective exceeded my high,high expectations for them. Ringleader Kevin Drew was charming as always, even apologizing for their "short" 100 minute set. They wove old songs and new ones together such that there were no questions that the new album is as strong if not even more spectacular than what we are already familiar with. Leslie Feist played the part of spazzy/sexy female vocalist, accompanying the other female lead (don't remember her name) who is still getting comfortable with the material and, more importantly, being on stage. When the houselights came on briefly mid-song, they were amazed by the full crowd packing Avalon (sooo hate that place!) and their energy cranked up even higher, if that's imaginable. I love seeing BSS perform. And it's obvious from their shows that BSS loves performing as well.

Holy…Fucking…Shit…
That's it - I'm moving to Canada
That might've been the best show I've seen all year. If anyone found a jaw, please let me know - I think I dropped it when they played "KC Accidental".

Damn straight. Best fucking show all year, hands down. The New Pornographers have NOTHING on these guys!
I just about lost my shit when they played the fast version of Major Label Debut, only as sort of a reprise to when they opened their set with the slow version. Gotta love when Kevin Drew asked if there was a curfew, then upon discovering there was none, just about tossed the entire setlist out the window. Also, watching Kevin and Leslie Feist slowdance during Lover's Spit was absolutely fucking awesome.
I can't think of enough good things to say about tonight's performance. :D

For what will probably be my last 9:30 club show for a long time I could not have asked for anything more. It was brilliant. You know a show is great when you forget there are others in the room.

The obligatory setlist have anyone? At the conclusion of the set it felt to me it was over so I bolted - did I miss an encore?

This show was the best show I have seen, ever. Fucking brill. I thought the Arcade Fire was the best show, but then I saw Clap Your Hands. Then that one was best. But now I saw this one, and it was bester. Fucking awesome. Does anyone have the setlist? Personally, I can't tell their songs apart from another, so I need the fucking setlist.
