Live Music Journal: Broken Social Scene!
17 years ago
General
Wewt! I saw Broken Social Scene at Jannus Landing in St. Petersburg, FL on Friday.
...
Wow.
What a Show, Land of Talk opened for them and counting the Openers they played for FOUR HOURS! Land of Talk was some good Pseudo-Brit-Rock, but with a Canadian, Female singer. Very Interesting.
Broken Social Scene was pretty Amazing. They are one of those 'Unstoppable Musical Forces', like the Arcade Fire and Wolf Parade. Their concerts are very engrossing, and this one did not fail to deliver that powerful 'Wall of Joy' experience.
But by far the best part of the Concert was when Kevin Drew walked the audience through some Canadian Screaming Therapy. In the middle of what I think was 'KC Accidental' he stopped and said that he wanted to do this with us. He asked us to bottle our fears, loves, hates, hurts. Everything. He asked us, on the count of three, to scream them out at the top of our lungs. The music started back again and He counted...
Three...
Two...
One...
All 1,100+ people in the Venue screamed into the night sky.
Kevin had His arms over thrust over his head and a look of Utter Joy on his face.
Shit was magical.
You always know a Great Concert when you are exhausted and grinning like an Idiot when you leave. I was both.
