From December 3rd to 5th in 2003, indie rock collective Broken Social Scene performed the three sold out hometown shows at the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto. The band had just returned from a tour that took them across the US, UK, and Europe in support of their sophomore album, You Forgot It In People.

The record had been released the previous year and was already on its journey to becoming one of the most celebrated indie albums of the decade. Pitchfork had called the album "endlessly replayable, perfect pop" giving it a Best New Music designation and the BBC called it "absolutely, utterly essential," setting into motion the band's swift ascent to global recognition.

On this live bootleg, you'll hear a group of friends joyously performing for their community, the people of Toronto who supported them when Broken Social Scene was just a two-person instrumental curiosity, before all the awards, the late night television performances, and invites to Glastonbury and Lollapalooza.

This collection features songs from You Forgot It In People, select tracks from their follow up self-titled record (including a 15 minute rendition of "It's All Gonna Break"), and the rarity "Jimmy and the Photocall," a long-time fan favorite that never made it on to an album!
