Broken Social Scene - Halfway Home – Oakland, Live, 10-26-17, 1st row, Fox Theater. Kevin Drew: We love your country!

Other Tidbits:

Brendan: This is our first time playing here!
Kevin: No, we've been in Oakland before... We played with Bloc Party. (in 2006)
Brendan (asks the fans): Is the Greek Theater Oakland or Berkeley?
Fans: Berkeley!
Kevin: Excuse me, sorry... Thanks for that set-up lol

Before and after the show, Brendan Canning came out to talk with the fans, which was very nice. A few hours before the show, he asked us if there were any particular songs we'd like to see them play. One fan said 'Anthems', and you can actually see Brendan pointing to her in the front row at ~0:30 before they perform it. lol After the show, Brendan talked to everybody in the merchandise line and took pictures with fans.

For Texico Bitches and Lover's Spit, Kevin went into the crowd, hugging fans and he high five'd me while singing, which was fun.

Sounds like you had a positive show, something genuine with BSS. I saw them in SF, they said it was the last concert before a long hiatus. They pulled out all the stops and had guests and all. I was a very generous show, and they did return years later.
