Their live set was captured, mixed, and mastered in real time via the world's only live venue and direct-to-acetate lathe cutting studio. We got choice cuts like 7/4 Shoreline, the Andrew Whiteman-sung Fired-Eyed Boy, a few from the aforementioned Old Dead Young (Curse Your Fail and This. Then, on the flip side, the album's 2-song B-side wraps with the slow-build anthem "It's All Gonna Break," a song once described as "Bob Seger on acid." Really, how else would you want a show to close? The band kicked off the set with emotive fan favorite "Cause = Time," then transitioning into "Stay Happy," the lead track from 2017's "Hug of Thunder," in all it's hypnotic, horn-driven grandeur. Epic, panoramic, and intimate all at the same time, the legendary Toronto collective Broken Social Scene began as an ebbing and flowing collective of artists in the late 90s, collaborating to create a distinct strand of indie rock that is both perplexingly maximal and straight-up catchy.

Broken Social Scene prove tonight that despite several years away from us, their music retains just as much colour, effortless cool and relevance as it's ever had, and we can only hope they stick around a little longer this time.Third Man Records had the pleasure of hosting the inimitable Broken Social Scene, carefully absorbing and recording their magnetic and unforgettable live set on the Blue Room stage.

Coaxing the crowd to let themselves feel OK, if not better, by releasing a cathartic, emptying group scream right in the middle of its roaring build-up, the band not only sound fantastic by this point in full, brassy brilliance, but they also remind us of the importance and power of coming together through music.

Rattling out a hell of a lot of quality cuts from albums past – from You Forgot It in People's Stars and Sons and Cause = Time to the shimmering Texico Bitches and the rousing World Sick from 2010's Forgiveness Rock Record – the band become curators and conductors of pure joy, steering us through an almost-summer soundtrack, eventually erupting into full splendour with a thundering version of Ibi Dreams of Pavement (A Better Day) from 2005's self-titled record. From owning Haines' swooning Anthems For A Seventeen Year Old Girl and Feist's rip-roaring Almost Crimes to straight up crushing the aforementioned Stay Happy with her 'ticking clock' dance moves, Engle's confidence and talent clearly rubs off on the rest of the group and very quickly they begin to galvanise, turning a relative cold front at the start in to a spectacular burst of summer sun. So, to think that what we're witnessing here is potentially a struggle, just lends her ability even more weight. What's crazy is that we're told tonight that she's apparently been having problems with her voice so bad, in fact, that she was hospitalised the other night and they nearly had to pull the rest of the tour. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 E F G A B C D I sus2 I 9 I sus2 E sus 2 E maj 9 E sus 2 I sus2 I 9 I sus2 E sus 2 E maj 9 E sus 2 I sus2 I 9 I sus2 E sus 2 E. While BSS mainstays, such as Stars' Amy Millan, Metric's Emily Haines and long-time alum Feist aren't on the roster tonight, you wouldn't notice, as Engle doesn't exactly fill their shoes so much as throw them out and proudly wear her own.
While she has made some appearances in the past – joining her husband, guitarist Andrew Whiteman, on previous tours – Engle has recently become a fully-fledged member of BSS's ever-expanding revolving cast, featuring heavily on Hug of Thunder, and pretty much steals the show tonight at every turn. However, as they begin to warm up, it's a trio of newer songs from the band's 2017 return Hug of Thunder (Protest Song, Halfway Home and Stay Happy) that surprisingly bring things into sharp focus, helped by the incendiary efforts of relative newcomer Ariel Engle.
