Headlining the Connector Stage at the 2010 Pitchfork Music Festival, Broken Social Scene played a loose but energetic set that was one of the highlights of Day One.

Shooting their set was a bit problematic. Photogs were only given one song to shoot all the fest’s headliners (they split us into two groups and each group got one song), so I was forced to work quick in a very crowded pit that made it hard to move around. After getting pushed up front I managed to find my way towards the back of the pit and ripped off some tight shots on my 70-200/2.8 VR I. Given the crowded pit and just as crowded stage (seven+ band members, lots of mic stands and stage monitors) I decided to stay tight for most of my shots as the wide shots were just too cluttered.
