Saturday Sounds - Broken Social Scene - Live at Pickathon 2018

Broken Social Scene are an indie Toronto band and musical collective who've been performing since 1999. Depending on where and when they're playing, there can be anywhere between six and nineteen members on stage. I've been lucky enough to see them four times since 2004, when I took my tween daughter to her first big concert at Harbourfront and we became fans for life. Parts of their July 2009 concert. again at Harbourfront, was featured in the film, This Movie Is Broken, and was of of the best concerts I have seen in this century. 

They've just released Live at Pickathon, recorded at their appearance on Ausust 4, 2018, on Bandcamp. It's an excellent performance and beautifully recorded. It's free to listen to; I'd gladly pay for it if there was a way to download it. I recommend it highly.
