Will Tynor: "01/03/93: Green Day, Horace Pinker"
Jason Keenan: "I filmed the show and it was humid as hell from all the standing water."
Jon Walworth: "Hate to get all Green Day on your ass but that was a great night too. The toilet water, the hair loss that followed (gotta blame something). I used to have a video of this show but lost it. This was from the last show. Green Day did a show the following day for all the people that didn't make it in."
Silver Dollar’s last shows took place on Saturday, January 2, and Sunday, January 3, 1993, and were headlined by Green Day. Originally booked as a single gig on Saturday night on the inside stage, the band, which was on the cusp of signing its breakthrough deal with Reprise Records, added an outdoor matinee the following afternoon due to the enormous turnout.
Ramsey: We did the Green Day show indoors, because we figured, if it’s the last day at the fucking club, we’re going to do it indoors and blow things out. It was totally the right decision. The energy was amazing inside. We had something like 500 kids crammed in there and another 1,000 out the back door.
Tynor: I went there the first night not even thinking I was going to get in because it was an indoor show with a 400 or 500 cap. I was just dropping off a tape for Bill Ramsey. People were complaining that their friends got in but they didn’t. I saw Billie Joe [Armstrong] in the front of club talking to a lot of the fans who couldn’t get in, which was really cool of him.
Ramsey: Green Day stayed over that night and didn’t have anything the next day, so they stuck around and played a matinee, since so many people couldn’t get inside.
Walworth: I had a friend that got me and my girlfriend in because I was videotaping it. They played most of the songs off Dookie, only we didn’t know it yet. It was the first time any of us had heard “Longview” or “Basket Case,” and I was like, “Wow, what’s this?”
Ramsey: They did [“Big Yellow Taxi”] by Joni Mitchell, because the rumor at the time was they were making the building into a parking lot for one of the stadiums, so that’s why he played that song. Someone recorded the first show, [and] I think that bootleg is one of the Silver Dollar’s biggest claims to fame.
Ramsey: The toilets overflowed and flooded everywhere and people were standing in two inches of water, which I’m sure wasn’t the safest thing. I didn’t see any floaters, at least. |

punkdvds: "Video shot by George Hewitt, give the man some credit... Thanks."
Mike Fuentes: "True story. I remember being at my friend's house playing that game while Green Day was there hanging out. Austin, TX, 1993."
Christopher W. Puryear: "Billie had a real bad case of the flu. I remember the guy in Austin made them play anyway. You could tell he felt like crap."
Tajstah: "I remember pretty well for it being so long ago. I remember the guy with the spiked mohawk, he was the singer for the band that opened for Green Day. They were called Orafist. I also remember the guy in the crowd with the Santa hat. I am trying to identify myself but unfortunately it's just too blurry."
"...Moving to a little more well-known band, has anyone heard Green Day? They put on an incredibly energetic live show in Austin (and more than made up for the absolutely horibble opening act, Orafist), and are actually coming here to College Station soon. They have a great 'neo-pop/punk' sound, with simple, yet still good lyrics."
Jonathan: "So there I was, staring at a flyer for a concert that coming Wednesday at Austin’s “The Back Room” on East Riverside. A concert I was too young to even go to. The band was called Green Day and they just looked crazy. Their lead singer had dreads and the Kerplunk! album art with a cute punk rock girl and a smiling flower looked just enough like a comic book and Japanese manga to make me want to check it out. And she was holding a smoking gun. Maybe it was just a lighter. And would I have loved to go the show? Honestly, I'd have murdered to go the show." |

Shelley Anderson: "Green Day was my first show. They were so small I didn't know who I was going to see. Just following friends to a show."
Gainesville Observed: "Green Day performed there right when the group was signing with Warner Bros. 'It was the Kerplunk tour for their last independent release,' Bryson said. 'Expectations for the show were small until the week of the show, and then it sold out in advance.'"
Matt Walker: "Green Day had played in Gainesville ... at the Covered Dish with Pasteeater; its members crashed on the floor at SpokeHouse. Scott Huegel recalls singer and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong shooting bottle rockets out of his ass in the middle of the street that night!"
Jana Miller: "...When they were still on "Lookout!" and before they got all 'rockstar pretty'. At the Covered Dish in Gainesville, FL on January 27, 1993. Paste Eater opened. Show was $5 and all ages. ...My BFF's band opened for this show and they were staying with them. Total dirty van touring punk band sleeping on the floor. When they went major label and then blew up I was a bit in awe. Kind of felt like it had all been an act. Never even listened to Dookie. Only heard what you can't escape on the radio. Sometimes my alarm goes off in the morning and they're playing and I just have to roll my eyes and turn it off. That's the only time I briefly hear what's on the radio." |

lint028: "I was there! 5 bucks for that show."
Miami Herald: "Green Day played to about 90 people at the Square in 1991 - and 400 in 1993."
Bill True: "Green Day playing my club on South Beach in 1993. They performed at Washington Square many times before they got way too big. I ended up on stage at the end of this show doing security of all things after the melee broke out. This was their last show at the Square."
coachjak12: "I'm getting so OLD. Can't believe it's been over 20 years already. I was the tour promoter at the time for the guys. This was during the East Coast 'Kerplunk!' tour. This was almost a year to the day before the world met "Dookie". We shot this video just for fun, it was the seventh show of the east coast part of the tour and the crowds were growing. By the end of my part of the tour, prior to the guys heading off overseas for a stint, they received word that Reprise wanted to meet with them. That meeting would change everything." |

kytsch: "That was with Green Apple Quickstep from Seattle, WA. I sang two covers with them that night."
WhiteTim: "My friend who was at the Green Day's 1993 Emo's show said the club was packed to the wall, that hardly anyone could even walk."
itchykorean: "Damn, now this is old school Green Day right here. I remember this show being hella packed. And Emo's wasn't the biggest place."
James Brandon: "They were better, but that Emo's show was untouchable. Getting to be so close and the overall intensity of the band/crowd. I miss that night. The club was packed, inside and outside and everything got destroyed. Everyone I knew from Orange Grove Skatepark was there. I just remember the Green Day flier said $5 for under 21 and free for over 21 and being so mad because I had to pay $5."
Matthew Juarez: "Tre Cool kept trying to persuade me into letting them sleep at my house because they had no place to crash yet. It's funny to imagine them looking for a place to stay now, seeing that they are probably occupying an entire swank suite at a hotel near Toyota Center at the moment."
onewheelup: "I was there that night, and, well, every Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday nights. Those were good times, I remember seeing this girl Kelly that I went to visit every Sunday night. I was like, 'What are you doing here?' And she said, 'It's Green Day.' I was like, 'What's that?' And she said it was a band. I was like, 'Oh, sorry, never heard of them.'"
Cary Jackson: "I skated down and rode the ramp on the patio awhile before the show. I remember their tour van was a Bookmobile, and they traded books with folks. ... They played Sweet Home Alabama, and let people onstage to try to sing it, and as soon as each singer screwed up a line, Billie Joe would literally kick them off the stage into the crowd." |

BullwinkleCheech: "Yeah, he told me about the show. Most of it was Dookie stuff and pretty comparable to what they had done before. Not really anything worth mentioning except for the remarkable fact that Dutchies (for fuck's sake) couldn't handle some marijuana smoke. He went to both shows. Nothing really special about it. Just the regular stuff at Green Day shows except for the one where Billie broke his ankle. He said that Billie insisted on playing but was accompanied of the stage by security guys. Mike told the crowd they would check it out and left. A few minutes later he and Tre came back to announce the show in Melkweg was cancelled but that they would be back soon."
"Green Day at Doornrosje Nijmegen, May 1994: The eve of the big breakthrough. Longview comes Tipparade inside. I didn't bought a ticket. It wasn't even sold. As far as I know, their only concert around that time in the Netherlands. Great. Encore is beautiful. Dookie is the logical sequel to Kerplunk. Everyone's favorite punk classmates. Their strongest song "Welcome to Paradise" fits fine into "Dookie". Even Ernie from Sesame Street is a big fan. The songs are all catchy. Curiously, Longview is the first single. While the album version intro Chump is much stronger. It seemed to me a wrong choice. You fall now so halfway inside. Without knocking the door open. However, it hits you like a bomb. Success that continues with Basket Case. Only then will only put the highlight on single. When I Come Around. The tone is a lot more serious. For me, this will remain a classic. The memory of that hike of about three hours. Lonely in the midnight. VPRO recorded the next Dutch concert at Melkweg. However, Billie Joe Armstrong broke an ankle after tripping over the technician, ending the concert." |

Billie Joe Armstrong: "Armatage Shanks" was first recorded at the BBC in 1994. We were doing a BBC session and I went to the bathroom and noticed the toilet brand."
Mita Adhikari: "I remember it was very much an old school session. We recorded the songs live, followed by a few overdubs., hardly anything, and it was done. Although they were a very three-way unit, Billie Joe was definitely the unspoken leader. Tre liked to clown about and Mike was the guy who was sort of serious, but everyone took notice of him when he spoke because he had a very dry acid wit."
Steve Lamacq: "As soon as they were finished, they loaded their gear back in the van and went off to play London's prestigious Astoria 2 later the same night."
Steve Lamacq: "Is it true that you recorded a song and then got the engineer to throw it away?"
Billie Joe: "Yeah, he erased everything. But I found the title for the song here... I went to the bathroom and saw the words 'Armitage Shanks' and that's what we called it." |

Lauren Bell: "...never knew my dad did the sound for Green Day, my favourite band, and my mum was probably there, 6 month pregnant with me, insane!"
Lis Tigi Maguire Coyle: "I worked that show too. People broke the windows to get in as they only played London and Leeds. Your dad will have assisted the touring crew with Green Day, and they had their own engineer. It quite possibly was my pal Randy Steffes, though I don't recall. He certainly worked for them back then."
James Winston Wright: "I remember being slightly boozed and trying to sell Billie Joe Armstrong my spare ticket for his own show outside the venue. Didn't know who he was back then, it was '94 I think."
Steven Nicholls: "I came after work to see that gig, I had to sweet charm Becky on the door to let me in as it was full. They'd already shut the doors to get rid of people hanging around, luckily they'd opened them again to let some air in when I arrived..." |

Kristin Ruhle: "I went to BFD and thought the lineup was great, the music was fun - what there was of it! They tried to cram too many bands into too few hours. Hats off to Green Day for literally stealing the show and hogging the stage! (Too bad it came at the expense of some of the other acts, e.g. Toad the Wet Sprocket.) The Green Day T-shirts were also a steal at $15 (some of the other bands wanted $20 plus for a 'generic' shirt! And the Pretenders shirt sucked - for $23 I'd rather have more colorful artwork, thank you!) - no wonder the souvenir booths ran out of 'em!"
Jeff Lefferts: "I really liked the 'solo bass' section of Green Day - everything but the bass was really quiet. When the sound finally kicked in, the bass was buried (an exception to the otherwise good sound)."
SPIN: "A few days before, I'd seen the band play "BFD," a modern-rock showcase hosted by San Francisco radio station Live 105 at the Shoreline Amphitheatere. On that rarest of Bay Area days, a 100-degree scorcher, Green Day appeared third on the bill, at 3:30 in the afternoon, after a dazed and heat-struck Beck. The amphitheatre, which seats about 20,000, quickly went from half-empty to almost full - much like when Pearl Jam played second at Lollapalooza there in 1992. The crowd wasn't punk in the least - over the course of a nine-hour day I spotted one guy in an MDC shirt and felt sorry for him - but its enthusiasm for Green Day exceeded anything the other ten bands playing could have hoped for. Before too long the high school kids, piled onto the lawn in back, were moshing like water over a sandbank. And who could blame them. There's something that can't be equaled about seeing people almost exactly your own age getting to be real live rock stars. The members of Green Day have become rock stars in an eyeblink; their third album, Dookie (the first for Warner Bros. after two on the indie label Lookout), has risen to No. 31 on the Billboard album chart after MTV Buzz Bin airplay for the video "Longview." At Shoreline, Green Day played the part to perfection, headbutting the microphone, shredding flowers, darting around in shorts like a baby AC/DC, tossing out snotty banter ('I hope you guys are beating the fuck out of each other and go home with fucking bruises,' said Billie Joe), and just plain acting as if throwing out loud rock music on a hot day was what life was all about. During 'Longview,' a song about masturbating bored in front of the television, Billie Joe had whipped out his dick and shaken it around during the line, 'I'm feeling like a dog in heat.' Later, during a day when bands were playing half-hour sets and then retreating with mechanical bows, Green Day refused to come offstage. Maybe it was problems with the sound, or maybe Green Day just isn't happy without a little conflict. It did feel a bit rote, hearing the band vamp while roadies whispered threatening things into Billie Joe's ear, and the singer suggested to the crowd, 'Now that they're angry at us, we could rip out the seats.' Still, even coming off a grueling European tour, with no day off in between, Green Day's enthusiasm gave an empty show its only feeling of common purpose." |

Steve Koepke: "Jul. 5, Tue. Green Day at Slim's a/a. $15 9 PM"
Gil Warguez: "Taken outside Slim's in San Francisco after the Green Day show. Billie Joe and Adrienne had just gotten married a couple days before. I don't remember the name of the girl on the right. I do recall that she was in a band."
Green Day Rising: "Slim's in San Francisco was actually a pretty good gig for the band normally, but on this night (July 5, 1994) I think most of the 500 people in the audience knew this was a bittersweet goodbye. Dookie was getting good airplay and the summer ahead was going to be huge with 20 Lollapalooza dates and Woodstock 94. Billie Joe was just on fire that night. He had just gotten married, found out that he was gonna be a dad, but didn't skip a beat. I'd never speak for him, but I think he knew Rock was the path forward and there was no looking back."
@br16ade_r055e: "I obtained these autographs on July 5th, 1994 outside Slim’s in San Francisco before Green Day’s concert there that night. I believe it was before the band’s soundcheck since I recall that it was still daylight. Billie signed the back of the booklet (on his solo photo) and the disc itself with a black Sharpie pen. Note that he signed the booklet and disc 'Billie' instead of 'Billie Joe.' A guy (friend/roadie?) with Billie asked me if I wanted him to sign the booklet, too. I said sure. He signed (signature looks like 'Rich') the back, on the photo of Billie, Mike & Tré. I was in the front row during the show. After the show, I took a photo of Billie holding hands with his wife Adrienne outside Slim's as he was approached by a fan. Billie and Adrienne were newlyweds. They had just gotten married on July 2nd." |

MarQ Manner: "Pansy Division was a gay punk rock band that opened for Green Day at The Ranch Bowl in the early 1990's. They asked me and my friend to walk them to their van as they loaded equipment. Not sure what I would have been able to do, but they were pretty scared about playing the Midwest at the time."
Kevin C.: "A week after I left Omaha a new band called Green Day played the Ranch Bowl. I read it got torn down. That's a shame because I don't think there was another place like it.
Armstrong also reminisced about passing through Omaha during the band's early days, on a tour to support its 1994 album, Dookie. 'We played at this bowling alley. Was that the Ranch Bowl?' he said to cheers, recalling the former bowling alley and rock club on South 72nd Street. 'Where else can you play at a kick-ass rock club and work on your spare in the meantime?'"
rockcandy.omaha.com: "Kiel also caught Green Day a few years later. The punk band's major-label debut, Dookie, was doing really well, but in Omaha they played the Ranch Bowl.
While opening act Pansy Division played, 'I was standing about halfway back from the stage, outside of the cluster part of the crowd, watching. Looked to my right and remember noticing a really short guy with a few facial piercings and green hair standing right next to me watching the show. We both stood there and watched, enjoying the show.' 'It wasn't until Green Day took the stage that I realized the person with whom I had watched the Pansy Division set was indeed Green Day's drummer Tré Cool. It was so hot with that many people in the place, the windows were fogging over and singer Billie Joe Armstrong made some comment about that.'"
John Warsocki remembers the time Green Day played the Ranch Bowl because drummer Tre Cool tried to bum a smoke off of him. But Warsocki was only 15. He didn’t smoke and none of his friends did either. While they watched opening band Pansy Division, Cool also wondered aloud how the audience would be for their set. He shouldn’t have been worried. “The place went nuts when they played ‘Longview,’” Warsocki recalled. Green Day went nuts, too: “They were full of energy just bouncing around the stage.” Sean Purcell had a similar experience. Only a teenager, he and a friend didn’t have tickets but thought they may be able to sneak in. It turns out they didn’t need to. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong saw them and told security, “They’re with me.” Purcell and his pal watched from the side of the stage. Aaron Baxter was there, too, and the show set the bar for what he expects at shows now. “Billie Joe (was) jumping around, having fun playing music and being an entertainer to the crowd. I remember him commenting on a baseball game playing on the TV over the door and doing the whole, ‘Hey, batter batter,’ routine,” he said. The band remembers the show, too. When Green Day played Omaha in 2009, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong recalled the venue while talking to the audience. “We played at this bowling alley. Was that the Ranch Bowl?” he said. “Where else can you play at a kick-ass rock club and work on your spare in the meantime?” |

"Billie Joe wore a T-shirt reading, 'Fuck Longview', but he played the song."
Sean: "Summer 1994. The Orbit Room in Grand Rapids, MI. Green Day supported by Pansy Divison and local ska heroes Mustard Plug. Green Day was touring in support of their first major release "Dookie" and everything was cool. My friend D. and I, securing nights off from our service industry jobs, headed to the show and ended up running into the same people we always ran into at concerts and clubs in the area. You know? The cool people. Everyone danced their butts off, jumped around and cheered a lot. The crowd showed up early to see Mustard Plug and quickly became bored with Pansy Division. The latter were okay musicians but their music was like listening to Two Live Crew except it was punk rock and the band, if you hadn't guessed by the name, was comprised of 3 gay men. Funny at first then... Yawn. Green Day rocked the house right. And everyone went home happy. They played the song below toward the end of the set." |

Michael Edelstone: "The most oversold and crowded show I've ever seen. Also my first mosh pit."
Mark Hall: "I lost a contact lens to that mosh pit! We're old, but few can say they saw a show like this. Most crowded show I've ever been to. They blew up after they set the date me thinks." |

Dr. Zhivago: "I saw Green Day around 1994 at this little CT venue called 'The Sting' in New Britian. They put on a great show way back when also."
Nancy Anderson: "They opened for the Green Day show that I brought the boys to at The Sting in New Britain, July 31, 1994. What a great show that was! Small venue, about 100 degrees inside, they were hosing people down in the pit it was so hot."
schlitsz: "When I saw them, it was at a small (now sadly defunct) club in New Britain, CT called The Sting. Between the time we bought the tickets and the show was when they started to blow up at radio and MTV and all that. It was pretty funny, actually, because nobody at my school knew much about them when the tickets went on sale. But when the school year was coming to an end and the show was approaching, people were complaining that it was sold out. Me and my buddy that I went with loved that. All the trendy kids had to stay home." |

metadiary.wordpress.com: "I went with my friend Darby, an obsessed Smashing Pumpkins fan. I was excited to attend this outdoor music festival to see the Pumpkins, Green Day, and, to a lesser extent, The Breeders. We were dropped off on Roosevelt Island and spent a sweaty day wandering around, among the crowd of alterna-kids, hippies, with a few punks and goths thrown in for good measure. I caught one or two songs from The Breeders set and then was completely blown away by Green Day, whose catchy pop-rock songs were the highlight of the day for me (little did I know/expect they would attain such mass popularity and go on to create a Broadway musical). I missed Nick Cave's set which I didn’t mind (this was many years before I would develop even the slightest fondness for his music) and enjoyed the Beastie Boys as much as I could for not being a big fan. Then it was a seemingly endless wait for Smashing Pumpkins, my then second-favorite band, to take the stage. They proved to be merely ok. Fuzzy guitar riffs blended into each other, a pre-bald Billy Corgan had less angsty charisma than I hoped for, and I was disappointed that they didn’t perform my favorite song of theirs, 'Mayonnaise.' It wasn’t long after that I discovered Nine Inch Nails, who ended up overshadowing the Pumpkins (in every sense of the word) in my personal music history. I’ll be honest, I didn’t find Lollapalooza all that special. I appreciated the communal anything-goes vibe Perry Farrell was going for when he created the annual event, but the heat and the density of people taught me outdoor festivals are not my thing. I felt trapped on that island, out of place, and a little overwhelmed. But it did give me bragging rights and a couple of cool points (well, maybe), since Lollapalooza was a big deal back then for music junkies." |

PedroAidaRVA: "I was at Lollapalooza '94 in Charles Town, WV, as close as they came to DC that year. Anyways, I remember the place being packed for Green Day and the pit was insane! I had to get out of there. Surprised to see everyone saying it was sparse for them at other stops."
Jason Christopher: "For my sister's 15th birthday, I did the proper thing as a big brother and took her to Lollapalooza'94 in Charleston, WV. This was her first concert. And what a mix it was - strong lead-in from Green Day! L7 rocked! George Clinton proved p-funk is NOT something you consult a eurologist for! Rap represented! Tribe' and the Beasties... On the unique side, Smashing Pumpkins did walk offstage complaning about debris flying through the air! the audience all raising middle fingers in a "bird fest!" Rock and roll, rebellion, relaxin'. Great time. May well have added terrific insiration for my sister who is accredited tattoo artist Darcy Nutt. She's alsothe singer for Uzala, heavy metal from Boise! Nest year, back to Shoreline in California for Lolla '95!"
"Through mutual friends, I was introduced to a girl named Sarah at her house party about a week earlier. Let's just say she immediately had a hold on me. Then, there I was cruising around in my '88 Chevy Celebrity when I pulled up right next to her and her friends at a stoplight. Through the brief chatter, I fixated on her in the passenger seat, hoping she had heard about my interest through the grapevine. As the light turned green, I mentioned we should get together sometime and she leaned out of the window, her short, jet-black hair catching the wind and her bright eyes smiling, and said eagerly, “Meet us at Lollapalooza!” Sure, that Summer between high school and college was unpredictable (especially to my parents) and my answer to Sarah's offer was obviously a quick affirmative, but I thought the chances of us finding each other in the crowd were slim. Somehow, some way, smack dab in the middle of the pit for Green Day's blistering opening set, you know, where the air swirls hot and heavy and the dust and sweat intermingle to form a thin coating, that's where I was found. Not by Sarah, but by her friend who led me to her side. As we stole curious glances at each other, sheepishly grinned at each other, I think we knew. We knew that this was OUR Lollapalooza. Like so many who are reading this have felt. The day was planned just for us. The bands were playing directly to me and to you. There is nothing else that matters. And so Sarah and I threw caution to the proverbial wind and owned that day in 1994. We knew we'd never forget The Breeder's performance of “Cannonball” and L7's “Wargasm” or the wild antics of P-Funk or the crazy hype of the Beastie Boys. When the fire hoses rained down and cooled our heads for a few minutes, we both had that look of clarity, that look of joyous acceptance. When Sarah slipped and became a victim of the inevitable mud pits during the B-Boys set, my first instinct was to do a belly flop next to her. Our faces were graced by matching mud splatters and we were beautiful. Together. Surrounded by thousands of others who spent that day at Charles Town Racetrack like it was their last. Singing to their favorite bands, circling the pits, high-fiving strangers, hugging their best friends, holding their soulmates. As mud dried to a brittle crust and the Smashing Pumpkins soared in the background, Sarah and I embraced each other, intertwined in a grimy, passionate kiss. The kind of kiss that makes people grossed out with envy. A kiss so long that I couldn't tell you any of the songs the Pumpkins played, only that Billy Corgan bantered a long time in between songs. It was our Lollapalooza. It was my Lollapalooza. When I hopped into my pal's van for the ride home that night, he grimaced at my appearance. So there I lay on the floorboards, covered in the day's festivities and my head overflowing with wonder. Reflection uninterrupted by the hot shower that awaited me at home. I'll never forget staring down at the drain as it all washed away, the brown water gradually turning clear, leaving behind only memories. It's 2011. Sarah and I are still friends, I'm still listening to Green Day, L7, and the Beasties, and I'm still going to my Lollapalooza."
"I remember I was 20 years old, and had been in the army for a year now. A group of my friends and I drove from Aberdeen Proving Grounds, MD to check it out. The weather was HOT, we spent a lot of time in a traffic jam, trying to get in to park. Since I wasn't driving and the cars weren't moving, we were blaring the Beastie's and running from car to car, buying beers off of people to pass the time. By the time I wandered into the concert, I looked forward to see a sea of people in front of me. Green Day was playing "When I Come Around" and the vibe was amazing. They were inviting guys on stage who could play the guitar, one by one they would come fuck up and jump on the stage. One guy got on the stage, grabbed the mic and started screaming 'I got a huge dick! I got a huge dick!', Billie Joe told the guy to prove it, so he pulled his dick out and started shaking it around, and then also dove off the stage. Most of the day was a sweaty blur, I squeezed my way up to the front to watch A Tribe Called Quest, and they put on a good show. It was a sweaty, dusty mass of people and heat. They would occasionally hose the crowd off to cool us off some. And you could also go buy a $4 bottle of water, but usually someone would just pass out and get carried on the top of the crowd to the front or side for assistance. George Clinton also put on a great show, and diaper guy rocked it out... As the day passed, and a few mosh pits later, time was getting close for the Beasties to play. The crowd got tighter, and louder. This was the year of Ill Communication, an amazing album and I REALLY wanted to enjoy the show. There was no way to feel the vibe of it all from where I was. I made my way back, away from my friends, away from the huddled mass of flesh compressed in the front to an open spot further back. As they came on, the sun was coming down. I remember LOVING the show and was screaming louder than ever when Q-Tip came out and sang "Get it Together" with them. The of course finished off their gig with a chest shaking version of "Sabotage", lights flashing on and off as Ad-Rock belted out "Why?!" So into the music, it was like the thousands of people around me were gone... That was it for me... I was exhausted. I knew the Smashing Pumpkins were coming up next. But, I was spent. I had come to see what I wanted and headed back to the car to pass out. Come to find out that the Smashing Pumpkins would end up flipping off the crowd and walking off because people were throwing mud at the stage, it must of messed up Billy's make-up and pissed him off. Oh well! It was an amazing concert at an amazing time in my life. I cherish every memory of my time there. As the years go on, I start to forget parts of the show. So, I needed to come here, to relive my memory of the concert and hopefully let you relive it also. I added video from Youtube from the tour, I couldnt find any from our actual show, regretfully..." |

Peggy & Scott: "I wasn't lucky enough to catch the first year but made it for the second in '92 & the '94 show. I saw the Breeders (Kim Deal - wow!), the Beastie Boys, Lush, Green Day, A Tribe Called Quest and the most intimidating, evil sounding band I've ever seen, Ministry. Those were great shows! Speaking of disrespecting authority, I missed the first day of my first "real" job because I was convinced by my 'good friends' to stay over in Charlotte, NC after the show, 'We can drive back first thing in the morning dude, don't worry about it.' I didn't make it that first day but luckily the owner of the company had his own history of disrespecting authority and gave me a break."
Unknown: "I was so wrecked in 1994 at Raleigh I was seeing fractals. Ended up getting out of the sun by hanging with some gypsies in a tarot tent. All I remember was that it was close to the MAPS (Multidisciplinary Asscoiation for Psychedelic Studies) booth. I think one of the gypsies was Casey Niccoli. Ever since then I've had a thing for gypsies even buying an Esmerelda doll. Because of that I am publishing this anonymously."
Skack: "Not a big Green Day fan, but I saw them at Lollapalooza 1994 where they caused a min-riot at Walnut Creek which was, at that time, the coolest thing I had ever seen in my life. I can appreciate them for what they are and their impact on punk rock. You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and then you have ... Green Day. Green Day."
edveder9: "T-Shirt from one of the first big concerts/festival shows I went to when I was younger. One of the coolest concert experiences. Beastie Boys should've been the headliners though! All I remember is that place went crazy when they played! Definitely wish I could of gone to the 1991 Lollapalooza and saw Pearl Jam... But this one was awesome!!! Do feel privileged that I got to see Green Day early in their career!" |

The Young Werewolves: "21 years ago this month I went to Lollapalooza in Charlotte, NC. This was the one that Nirvana was supposed to headline. A couple dates before this show a brand new opening act was added, a trio (that when I first heard them thought, 'I wonder what part of england are they from?'). A single was just starting to bubble up on pre-Internet video channels. As soon as they hit the stage, kids went nuts rushing the security gates, front row, screaming, 'Sellout!' The lead singer lurches forward, 'That's Mr. Sellout to you, Mr. I-bought-a-ticket-to-Lollapalooza.' The band was Green Day." |

jettera: "I was there too. Madness."
Jamie Nelson: "It was an unbelievable 3 days there. I had been 21 for only 3 months so I was in the party prime of my life and this was the biggest party in the world! I remember throwing sod after this show..."
Robbie B.: "I was at this show. My tent was 100 yards away. In '94 Green Day wasn't totally mainstream yet. This was the third stage. Before they went on an African band played. They were so boring. Bongos and a lot of percussions. Then the stage turned and Green Day was on."
Christopher Powers: "I was there. I wish they'd show the crowd more so I could find myself, but I remember seein' these guys. I just didn't really realize who they were at the time. Fun time, but it did rain a lot. I thought it was fitting, it reminded me of the original '69 videos I'd seen. I remember thinkin' it was cool that since I had missed the original, at least I was young enough to enjoy the encore. I was 24 at the time. Helluva ride from Bluefield, WV to Saugerties, NY and back."
Ray Brunelle: "My parents were at this concert. Fucking lucky people! I would've been all crazy screaming the lyrics and stuff if I was them."
Vince Hurley: "I was there all three days. It was one of the most magical, fantastic experiences of my life. It was a complete loss-of-sleep, anarchic mess, with barrels full of crazy all around... And it was completely awesome. I slept for two days after I finally got back home. Green Day was fantastic, as always. And look how young they look here! I thought they hadn't changed, but I guess we all have!"
scribs76: "No, I was there. A kid from the audience ran up on stage and tackled him. Security was right there, but the kid got the tackle in."
"I was there. What a great time I had at Woodstock '94. I was in front of the stage towards the right. I did a stage dive... My 6-year-old daughter and I are watching this now and she is cracking up."
Dialysis Joe: "I was up on a hill, looking down at these guys. I really enjoyed their energy and their music. I'm enjoying it more, now, because I don't have to put up with half a million people."
Redplanetfilms1: "I was behind the stage and then went up front to see what was going on and then the hay and mud started flying! It was crazy! It looked like a wave of mudballs! I thought it was one of the coolest things I had even seen at a concert. It felt dangerous but somehow freeing and different. I walked backstage again to watch the choas and then that's when I heard Mike scream out, 'I think he broke my fucking jaw!' It was my first time seeing Green Day and I've been a fan since!"
Paul Anderson: "As someone who was there for it, the mud starting flying up in the air from the moshing, then people threw it at each other, that got Mike to make fun of those people and the crowd started slinging it at the band, which led to some good old fun."
"August 14, 1994 - Saugerties, New York. Leave it to Green Day to start the biggest mud fight in history at a festival meant to encourage peace! The over 350,000 fans watching the show were encouraged to throw mud after one fan did so and Billie picked it up and put it in his mouth. Soon after, Billie began running across the stage while fans threw mud, and he attempted to fight back on his own, needless to say he was a little outmatched. Things began getting really out of control when fans began running on the stage, even Mike was mistaken for a fan and lost three teeth as bouncers tackled him. Billie described it best onstage when he yelled, 'This isn't peace it's fucking anarchy.' Billie later said, 'Going into it I thought that the nostalgia reasons behind the show were kind of a joke. So we went in thinking 'This is lame'. But then it turned into something completely unexpected. To tell you the truth, it was the closest thing to total chaos I've ever seen in my whole life.'" |

justmemoniluv: "This crowd sucks! I wish I had video of Lollapalooza Velodrome Field Cal-State University, Dominguez Hills, CA 9/4/1994. It was packed! And we were all over Green Day's show! There was moshing, crowd surfing. Green Day was wearing skirts & little cute barrettes in their hair. It was awesome! My sister and I were dying of thirst, security threw our water out before letting us in & small bottles were $7."
"Well, here we are at the end of this tour. Remember we caught the incredibly hot first show and will never forget it. This leg of the tour was without the legendary Frogs. I went to this show for the Smashing Pumpkins. I love this band. They make me want to just get up and dance. It was late summer and a wonderful night. When it got dark and the bonfires were lit, it was an amazing thing. There were some individual experiences at this show. I went with Ron and Bianca. Ron got his glasses broken in the pit for the Breeders of all bands. He spent the rest of the show without glasses and drove us home. I think it was during Green Day cause they replaced the Boredoms, that Bianca got caught in their pit and received a Dr. Martin to the back of the head and someone landed on her back. I stayed at a safe distance from the shenanigans. I mean, really, who would have thought that someone could sustain damage during The Breeders!" |

Steve Appleford: "An Endless Summer for Green Day - From the mud of Woodstock to Lollapalooza, this Berkeley rock band keeps the fans on their feet. It's early Sunday afternoon and Green Day is sending thousands of Lollapalooza '94 fans into the usual swirling, euphoric frenzy. The retro-punk of the trio's "Welcome to Paradise" is greeted with a torrent of flying shoes and water bottles. At least there is no mud. 'Look at this,' bassist Mike Dirnt, 22, tells the crowd gathered at Cal State Dominguez Hills for the next-to-the-last show on this year's Lollapalooza tour. 'It's the poor man's Woodstock. I don't see as many hippies.'"
sunny6977: "I was 17 and broke but I remember it was horribly hot and some bands would spray us with water so it was muddy and everyone was jumping in it and having an amazing time."
Shayne Stacy: "Wow, I am surprised that I have never posted this one. I took my step son to this show. He was 11 year old and weighed about 80lbs. When Green Day and Beastie Boys played, the crowd went apeshit and we were crushed/blocked in with a bunch of other people. We would pick our feet up and move 10-15ft at a time. It was both fun and terrifying. You will hear that the recording suffers a bit from the chaos & me yelling to my stepson(safety was a priority at that point) , but I like it anyway." |

Jason Pierson: "Was visiting my friend at Boston college the weekend of this concert. It was the craziest 24 minutes of my life. Was knocked to ground twice... Got up and I closelined a guy then, helped him up. There were people crowdsurfing with metal trash cans and throwing them at people. We went to small bar after concert and watched my friends 300lb roommate they called the 'King' sing Sinatra karaoke. He was good and beer was cheap was amazing night."
MyNameis Jonas: "I was there as well. In fact I was right behind Billie when he ran off stage, We got in the bus and fans got out to us somehow and started to rick the bus. We ended up driving 2 hrs out of Boston into this small town in Massachusetts went to a small bar where nobody knew who Green Day was, there was like 3 people there. We scored an 8-ball off a guy in Boston and stayed up till 5am drinking and doing coke..."
Ethan: "I was there that night. I participated in the mosh pit but only made it about halfway up from the back. I don't remember the violence, to be honest - I was having a blast dancing to 'Basket Case' and other songs. I seem to remember either Billie Joe or the bassist getting hit with a bottle, followed by him yelling, 'See ya!' and storming off the stage."
Barbara Leger: "A friend of mine stumbled across this and said to me, 'Remember when you DRAGGED me to see this band I had no idea who they were?' I dragged her with me because I interned at WFNX since I was 16 and you know, interns go everywhere! Best night ever even thought I have seen then 14 times since. Boston Strong!"
Charms434: "What an awesome concert. I was only 11, maybe 10, and the oldest person in our group was 14? I specifically remember Billie Joe ripping up flowers and the cops rushed him and then security rushed the cops and screamed, 'No, no, no, he's in the band!' Then rain and Snapple bottles."
cribcage: "Everyone claims to have attended that concert. Now, that's an outdoor venue where capacity isn't really an issue, and I can verify that it really was mobbed and that nearly every subway car I encountered was overcrowded (and fishbowled) — but really, to this day, every time you mention the concert, anyone within earshot will chime in, 'Yeah, I was there.'"
fwa: "I remember the show. The pit was going, but the issue were the low barriers between the crowd and the stage, three of them, if I remember right. The crowd and pit pushed over the first and then the second. I don't think Green Day got in more than three songs before the three of them were suddenly pulled off the stage by six or so roadies. I don't remember a flower bed incident, but could well have missed it. I can attest to the drunkenness of at least part of the crowd, though there were a load of 9 or 10 year old kids a bit further back, with their parents. Short but memorable show."
Rob: "I remember Armstrong tearing up the flower bed. A cop grabbed him and started dragging him away before a security guard intervened and told the cop he was in the band. And that was the end of that show..."
Jed Gottlieb: "My first visit to Boston was in 1994 to see a Green Day concert put on by WFNX. It was just a little road trip from Washington, D.C., to see a free show at the Hatch Shell by a punk band only the cool kids knew about. Turns out there were 100,000 cool kids in Boston. When five times the expected crowd showed up, the police shut down the show after 20 minutes. About the time police were escorting drummer Tre Cool from his kit, I thought, “Wow, a radio station is behind all this mayhem."
Katie Jewett: "I was there! It was my first concert, I was 16. I grew up in Chelmsford. I remember Billie Joe saying, 'The cops aren't gonna fucking help you!' In 1994 it was pretty punk." |

Matt & Charli: "I remember that this show only cost $5.00, and everyone proceeded to rip up the lawn, and throw clods of dirt at everyone. I kept getting pelted with dirt, and just had a miserable time. Lots of energy in this show, but the band was just not that good."
itsalltrue: "That was one of the last concerts I saw at Blossom. Lollapalooza '95 being the ultimate final one. Those were some really great times. I somehow simultaneously enjoyed and respected the bands whilst entertained myself as I berated and criticized the newly turned "alt" jocks, preps and cheerleaders of the crowd. I miss it."
KBTime: "The outdoor arena in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, is summer home to The Cleveland Orchestra, but has also hosted many other types of music over the years... including an infamous Green Day show on September 10, 1994. I actually played Blossom BEFORE ever seeing a show there: our high school marching band performed with the Cincinnati Pops, and it wasn't till the following year that I went to my very first show. It was $5 tickets for Green Day. Just before show time, someone sitting a few feet from me on the lawn was yelling for a friend of his, who was seated close to the front of the lawn. This guy was having no luck getting his friend's attention, so he threw a clump of grass. Well, the grass missed its target and hit someone else, who proceeded to turn around and throw a clump right back. That clump hit a friend of mine, who threw more grass. And that's how quickly and accidentally the lawn got destroyed." |

The Seattle Times: "Green Day is one of the most promising new rock groups of the 1990s. It's short, snappy, classic rock songs, such as its first hit, "Longview," and the current "Basket Case," have the energy and spunk of British-invasion rock of the 1960s. The young men who make up the band - singer-guitarist Billie Joe, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool - have an infectious spirit that makes their records and videos compelling and exciting. The show originally was to be held at the South Sound Speedway in Olympia, but was moved to the Arena."
Jason Iverson: "I saw them play some Fest once with /Rancid, Hole, Weezer, 311, etc and Billie spit in some dudes mouth. The kid was wanting it. So strange. Also, Drew Barrymore was there. I remember because I had a crush on her lol and she was dating that guy in Hole. I remember Christie Road, Welcome to Paradise, Longview, Basket Case. But that's about it." |

Andy: "Day 1: First gig. Green Day at London Astoria 1994. Technically I'd been to a small festival before this but this was my first proper gig. Joeyfat opened and Billie Joe Armstrong stood on my foot as we were watching at the back. Then came China Drum who I still listen to after all this time. Green Day were so amazing and opened the door for me to a lot more bands." |

DK Fan: "Two Halloweens ago I went to a Green Day concert instead of feeding poison candy to kids who knock at my door. Big mistake. It was at some gigantic basketball arena, Green Day was playing on a 20 foot tall stage with bouncers and 'security' guards who could probably rip me in half... No fun at ALL." |

Gillian G. Gaar, 'Green Day: Rebels With A Cause': "Due to his friendship with the band, Yee 'would just hang out until I would see them arriving for a show and they would just get me in - that was the strategy. But as they got more popular, that got harder and harder. At one particular show, me and my friend Kevin went down in LA, at the Hollywood Palladium with The Muffs. I decided just on a whim to go down there, check it out. We were trying to sneak our way in, as usual. But we couldn't get in. At one point I had to go to the store to go get a sandwich because I was starving. And Kevin stayed in the car, and they went in, Kevin didn't see them, and we didn't get in. So I was like, screw this. I'm just going to go and buy a ticket. 'But Kevin was like, 'No, hold on a second. There's Mike D, from The Beastie Boys.' I'm like, 'Who? Who's that?' I was totally oblivious to stuff like that. But Kevin walks right up to Mike D and he's like, 'Hey, Mike!' Mike D kind of looks at him like, 'Do I know this guy?' Kevin said, 'Mike, if you go inside, tell Billie Joe that Eric Yee and Kevin are outside and they can't get in, and they came all the way down from the Bay Area.' Mike D goes, 'Eric and Kevin. I'm going to tell them.' I was like, 'You gotta be kidding me, that guy isn't gonna do shit for us.' So I bought a ticket, then we went in. Green Day had just played their first song when I got in, and Billie Joe said, 'Hey, is Eric Yee here?' I'm like, oh shit, I can't believe it, like Mike D told him! Billie Joe goes, 'Eric, raise your hand!' He had the crowd chanting my name, which was one of the coolest things ever. That's the first and last time that's ever going to happen. So we hooked up with him and then he got us into the show the next night." |

fromthenosebleeds: "This was a challenging shoot. The place was huge, the bleachers were a mile away so I had to get somewhat close to make it worthwhile. There were areas on the grass that had little humps of hills and I staked one out so I could shoot over the crowd, here is the results. WHAT'S UP YOU STUPID MOTHERFUCKERS!" |

Idiot Club: "WHAD UP? We're hangin' in Colorado, waiting to play tonite. Tour is fun and all, but we're pretty homesick. We just spoke to the folks back home and they said we have like over 15,000 letters waiting for us... DAMN, that's hella mail! ...The tour dates inside will be our last show for a while. We're taking some time to write new songs. We'll probably start playing live again in April or May." |

Jason Kline: "I'm jealous of your first concert. Mine was Green Day with Pansy Division in November 1994 at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago. Filmed for MTV's 'Green Day - Jaded in Chicago,' it was right after Dookie came out, but there were a lot of fans of Kerplunk! and their other Lookout albums. I still have the shirt from that show to this day. Dark green with the Dookie logo on one side and Green Day on the other. Pansy Division kind of sucked though."
Daniel J.: "I just had the unfortunate experience of seeing Green Day at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, and needless to say, was disgusted. Empty-V was video taping the whole damn show, so of course Billie Joe and Co. pulled out all the stops to try to act 'punk rawk'. He led the crowd in chants of 'fuck you' and 'I hate my parents' and 'I am a burnout'. It was pathetic. Then about halfway through, he took out a copy of the SPIN magazine with them on the cover and burned it saying, 'This is all a crock of shit, and if you believe it you are too!' I thought this was cool, but then I wondered if he was only doing it because of the cameras. Well, I still like Green Day, for the music, but as far as respecting them goes, I have lost all hope. This is just my 2 cents so feel free to post your reactions or flames."
"Oh boy, was I glad to see a full show from this band. I had been so very excited to see them at Woodstock ’94 and was so disappointed when their set was cut short by the mud storm. BOOO! And just three months later I was lucky enough to catch this show back at home. My boyfriend and I got there early so we could get fairly close to the stage. The band had such great energy at Woodstock that I knew I wanted to be front and center for this show. The opening band was fine. They had a very clear agenda. And it was more about them being gay than it was about their music. I just remember that throughout the whole set, the lead singer felt the need to throw out sexual references and statements about being gay. It was like, 'Alright, already. You're gay. Can you please just play?!' The crowd verbally showed their disdain for the band and it turned kind of ugly. I was just happy they were done so I could see my boys in Green Day. I was in love with their album Dookie already and had backtracked to their earlier album Kerplunk! to hear more of their music. I was definitely ready to enjoy their set. And the set list rocked!
Billie Joe was a maniac! This was the second and last time for me to see this band perform live. I think I'm due for a Green Day fix. After all these years I still LOVE Green Day!!" |

Incomplete setlist
riversideroo: "Green Day – Cobo Hall, Detroit 1994 (Dookie Tour, high energy and my fondest memory of what the floor was like at a show in 1990's)"
Chris Grebinski-Policicchio: "All I have is the ticket stub I just got Billie to sign last month. It's crazy though. Like there is no record of that show anywhere. Good thing for the stub and my memories I guess. I found a close setlist and remember them covering 'Smells Like Teen Spirit'. One vivid memory. Billie says, 'Anyone know a word that rhymes with orange?' I will never forget that. We were all like, 'Um... No.''
San Francisco Weekly: "...The worst night was in Detroit's sold-out Cobo Hall. There, more than 20,000 people drowned out Pansy Division's entire act with a half-hour of nonstop booing. "You could actually see battles being fought in the audience between the small pockets of people loving it and everyone else throwing up their middle finger, having none of it," Ginoli says. "The few people who dared to applaud got picked on by the rest of the crowd, and we just got pelted with everything. I did get a nice backpack out of it, and $40 in coins. It was by far our most lucrative night."
Brian: "It's 1994, and fifteen-year-old Michigan lad named Brian just found out that Green Day is coming to town. This excites him greatly - so much so that he and his brother wait outside of the nearest Ticketmaster location for a few hours for tickets. Would you believe they didn't have online purchase back then? We're talking caveman times. The tickets were impossibly cheap - around ten dollars each, even after the TicketMaster charges. What a steal! Brian goes back to high school, fidgeting and fussing. That Green Day show is just around the corner. It'll be any day now. He tells everyone, whether they care or not. 'This is going to be awesome.' The day of the show finally arrives. With his parents and his older brother, they arrive at the venue. On the way in, a photocopied flier gets put in Brian's hand. "Join the Green Day Idiot Club." Yes. That sounds lovely. After begging for money from his parents (fifteen-year-olds aren't exactly swimming in dollar bills), he sends in the check. A while later, he gets the Idiot Club package: Temporary tattoo, sticker, patch, shirt, and a few other odds and ends. Flash forward to 2011: Brian and his new wife move in together. At his parents' old house, Brian goes through some old clothes and finds the Idiot Club shirt, worn and yellowed from age, but still a treasured relic of his past."
Ken Settle: "Right before I took this shot, a stage diving fan had just knocked me down off of the foot stool I was standing on. When I picked myself up, my nose was stinging and I had this peculiar, overwhelming smell of relish that I couldn't shake. I felt some dampness under my nose, and thought maybe I'd gotten a bloody nose from the hit I took, I touched my nose with my fingers and looked at it, expecting blood. What in the world? It was RELISH! Just then I spied a flattened relish packet right beside where the collision took place. It seems the stage-diver landed on it at just the precise angle and timing, so as to send the contents of the relish pack shooting up my nose!" |

Jon Ginoli: "...We had been warned of trouble looming at a show in Fairfax, VA, a conservative suburb outside Washington, DC. The gig was at the Patriot Center at George Mason University. George Mason, a father of the Bill of Rights, refused to sign the Declaration of Independence because it didn't guarantee enough rights and freedoms. (Were he still alive, he'd be cast out of Virginia; although its state slogan is "Virginia Is For Lovers", in 1994, Virginia had an anti-sodomy law.) The promoter told Green Day in advance that they wouldn't allow us [Pansy Divison] to play, that we were inappropriate; Green Day's response to the promoter was that if we didn't play, they wouldn’t play. The promoter backed down, but when we arrived, he pulled me aside for a lecture. In a friendly-yet-stern way, he said our material was too mature for Green Day’s young audiences. He said that there would be eight-to-12-year-olds in the crowd. I asked why he was worried about our lyrics and not Green Day’s, which also have some references that might not be suitable. And who were these kids, anyway? What parents were letting their kids go to concerts so young? I told him, if they’re that young, much of what we sing about is going to go right over their heads; they won’t get it. But they’ll know they saw a gay band, and it will get them talking one way or the other. To us, that would be a victory, meaning we’ve infiltrated Pat Robertson country. This guy kept saying things like he had a lesbian sister, that he was for gay rights, but not in these circumstances. He said he was dreading the day-after phone calls from parents. I told him I had the right to sing about it, kids had the right not to be censored, and what we sang about was part of the world we live in. Virginia was a sodomy-law state; the discrimination was written into state law. To counter years of hetero propaganda these kids had heard — and would continue to hear — a few bad words and risqué songs wouldn’t do them any harm. This discussion went in circles for 15 minutes, until I finally told him it was a waste of my time. When we played, the reception was mixed but more supportive than I’d feared; it was the only show we played with Green Day in the South." |

Kevin O'Hare: "Perhaps the funniest rock concert I've ever seen, one that I originally described as 'an evening of bawdy decadence, as if ancient Romans had besieged Coach Cal’s palace.' Things reached a peak when a shirtless, 300-plus-pound male fan joined the band on stage to sing a horrifically off-key cover of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s 'Sweet Home Alabama'. When the band and the crowd begged for a stage dive, the rotund fellow willingly obliged nearly obliterating dozens in the crowd when he flew from the stage, and the audience collapsed like dominoes. Miraculously, all survived."
"Despite the semi-harsh chording, Green Day is, essentially, a friendly band. The group began with a 'Smoke on the Water' riff, played a snippet of Twisted Sister's 'We're Not Gonna Take It' and invited this obese, shirtless guy up on stage and had him sing a bit from Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Sweet Home Alabama' before encouraging a stage dive into the pit. (The guy made it.) The band played the hits - 'Welcome to Paradise,' 'Longview,' 'Basket Case' - but they also jerked around a lot. No song is so important that it necessarily merits a straight run-through. [Billie Joe] might just want to lie on his back on a speaker and noodle his guitar. He and bassist Mike Dirnt are Beavis and Butt-head slightly grown-up motormouths. Billie's idea of bonding? 'How many stupid people are here tonight?' Showmanship? A trouser drop with a 'All right, Massachusetts police, take a look!' call. When some fools fired up cigarette lighters he railed, 'What do you think this is, Bon Jovi? Stone Temple Pilots?'"
Hartford Courant: "The big time has not curtailed the bratty exuberance of Green Day. Now at the tail end of its Dookie tour, which was playing clubs like the Sting in New Britain only four months ago, the punk rock trio from Oakland, Calif., has tightened and focused its approach for its sudden series of arena shows, such as the one Monday at the University of Massachusetts Mullins Center in Amherst. Ripping through most of the songs from its 3 million-selling major label debut, also named "Dookie", Green Day rippled with intensity and redoubled its force. As thousands rushed over barricades to the general admission floor rippling with moshers, the band tossed off the anthems 'Longview', 'Basket Case' and 'Welcome to Paradise' early in the set as if they haven't become milestones in the remarkable success story of punk rock. Sometime in the set (an hour with two encores), things started breaking down, as you would expect in a Green Day show - the last one in Massachusetts ended with a riot at the Boston Hatch Shell. Lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong, 22, his hair sticking out in platinum dreadlocks, started dropping his pants. Drummer Tre Cool, who turns 22 next week, stepped down from his riser to play guitar on a little ditty about strange things he does by himself. The clothes from the moshers kept flying up - a jacket knocked down the microphone of bassist Mike Dirnt, 22. When a balled-up T-shirt stuck at the head of Armstrong's guitar, he kept on playing without pause. And when the group insisted that an overweight, shirtless mosher join them on stage - to sing Lynyrd Skynyrd's 'Sweet Home Alabama', which he didn't know - it was clear the band was there to have as much fun as the crowd. Green Day's relentless, impassioned sound is a perfect echo of punk circa 1978, with harmonies, melodies, songs of despair and disillusion - and energy to burn. Today, the kind of approach started by the Buzzcocks or the Undertones sounds even better thanks to the huge, young audiences. Once most of 'Dookie' and a lot of the craziness was past, the band dipped back into its two other, lesser known independent albums, '39/Smooth' and 'Kerplunk!', for songs such as '2,000 Light Years Away' (not the Rolling Stones song) and 'Christie Road'. As in their club gigs, Green Day harkened back to its indie past by bringing along lesser-known bands, in this case a pair of punk power trios with poppy and insurrectionist approaches. Waterdog started things off with a set that included a dedication 'to the late, great Jeffrey Dahmer'. Pansy Division challenged the macho, mostly male moshpit with its very gay politics, a challenge that the group, throwing cups stageward, apparently wasn't ready to handle." |

sirrichardrichard: "I had just turned 15. Die Toten Hosen opened up for them as well. I point to that moment as a building block to who I am today. Seeing Green Day embrace a homosexual band, inevitably led me to be a more tolerant person throughout the usually intolerant teenage years. Here they were, one of the biggest bands in the country and they bring Pansy Division - friends of theirs - to hockey rinks across the land. It was incredibly ballsy for them to do that, for that reason, despite the rock operas and Broadway shows, I will never consider them sellouts."
Sean McCallum: "We had brutal seats in that hockey arena that doubled as a livestock barn during the Royal Winter Fair, and it became blatantly apparent during the opener’s set (a band called Die Toten Hosen, I think) that there was no way in hell we could ever stay in our seats for this kind of show. Just before Pansy Division took the stage, someone got what turned out for me to be a life-altering idea, deciding that we should rush security, and before I knew what was happening, all nine of us had crashed over the boards and were in the process of blending inconspicuously into the crowd ON THE FLOOR at the FUCKING GREEN DAY SHOW! It was like something out of Detroit Rock City. It was the craziest concert experience of my life to this day, ridiculous moshing and crowd surfing and sweaty dirtbag punk chicks all over the place, Welcome to Paradise nearly took the roof off that shithole rink and I was unequivocally blown away by the fact that only three guys could make that much noise. I was mesmerized by Tre Cool and how it could be humanly possible to smash the drums as furiously and as frenetically as he did for the hour and a half that they played, non-stop energy, more and more fucking ecstatic never-ending energy. By the end of the show not one of us had a shirt on, having stashed them with the sound mixer dude, and we were all drenched in sweat and reeked of adolescent BO but it didn’t matter because the world would never be the same, and even after we got off the train and got back to my parents’ house, we sat around in the kitchen all night, the adrenaline still pumping frantically through our veins in the wee hours of the morning, and we knew that sleep would be impossible and that school could never matter as much as what we’d just done. Up until that Green Day show, I never knew what music was capable of. I never knew that music could be that. Things would never be the same."
Toronto's Arts: "Yeah, yeah, I can say all I want, but that won't change the depressing fact that I missed the Birdlandish 70's punk rock revivalists. The buses must have been running direct from the school yards to the Coliseum. Teenybopper girls, their hair either in stupid pig-tails or decorated by ugly plastic barrettes, milled around in ratty cardigans, stripey scoop-neck t-shirts and ill-fitting jeans. Boys on acid left random puddles of puke around the Coliseum. Thousands of children charged from the stands, over the boards, into the general admission area so they could be much closer to their idols - and crowdsurf. The kids were already in frenzied motion to the Beasties' You Gotta Fight For Your Right To Party before Green Day took the stage. It is my moral duty to say this: 'Crowd-surfing must be stopped.' It not only looks thoroughly ridiculous, but it's damned dangerous. I hope scores of children at the show died, and that their friends learned a lesson. Not even during the first wave of punk was there such a despicable display of human behavior (OK, there was, but it derived from different motives). Green Day epitomize, and promote, the rampant adolescent attitude of today that is ruthlessly hateful, purblindly self-centred, and bafflingly self-righteous. After a series of 'fuck, shit, cunt, dick' Billie Joe uttered a string of fuck you's which he then explained were for parents. (This did not appear to bother the woman next to me, who was there with her 8-year-old son. Will she be confused tomorrow when he tells her to fuck off?) It is completely normal to balk at authority and rebel, but every teen should respect his parents. Complete disrespect for everybody is not what punk rock is about - disrespect for the system, yes. For people, no. Punk rock is about thinking for yourself. That's why anarchy, which was a symbol for punk, is supposed to work. Unfortunately, anarchy assumes that people are good and will act responsibly. People, however, are not innately kind; what prevents most people from acting purely evil and selfish is fear of retribution. But when you're with thousands of other idiots, the possibility of retribution becomes negligible (bonus: not only does your anonymity increase, but you are deemed cool for following the herd). Green Day should keep their gobs shut and quit prodding the herd because they are a brilliant live band." |

"Madison Square Gardens, New York With the Z-100 Christmas show (AIDS benefit) beginning to drag after 7 hours, Green Day needed to be in top form to revive the tired audience. This was the final concert after a long year of supporting their hit album 'Dookie'. At close to 2AM the band finished their set and headed backstage before their encore. Fans would be in for a surprise when Billie returned to the stage wearing nothing but his guitar for a performance of 'She'. 'His impulsive need to be noticed turned a musical endurance test into what will be one of the most talked about concerts of the year,' reported the New York Post." |

fromthenosebleeds: "Green Day's first time headlining in a big auditorium and this was a benefit where tickets were only $10, so naturally the place sold out!"
"Green Day performed a pair of BENEFIT CONCERTS at the Henry Kaiser Auditorium in Oakland, CA, on May 27 and 28, 1995! I still have about 50 bruises from the tremendous mosh pit! But hey, Billie Joe spit on me, so could my life possibly get any better?? All of the profits were donated to Food Not Bombs, The Berkeley Free Clinic, The Haight Ashbury Free Clinic, and the SF Coalition on Homelessness. Green Day made the tickets available to Idiot Club members first! Another reason to join the Club! (As if you needed a reason!) During this concert, they previewed many new songs, such as 'Brat', 'Geek Stink Breath', 'Armatage Shanks', 'J.A.R.', and 'Jaded'."
"In 1995, I volunteered to drive my sister Jane to Oakland to see Green Day in a sold out show at the Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium. Tickets were $10, but I didn't have one. After a two-hour drive from Sacramento, I was thrilled to find a genuine scalper near the door, and bought one of his general admission tickets for $15. This was my introduction to the secondary ticket market. Later, my friend Julie Carniero listened to my experience and let me in on a secret of ticket scalping: The price of a ticket drops rapidly as the show begins. If you wait until after the show has started, you could probably get a ticket 'for a pack of cigarettes'."
Jeff Ott: "Later I went to see Billie Joe's new baby and he asked me to figure out who to give a lot of tax-deductible money to. So I hooked him up with Food Not Bombs and the free clinics in the East and West Bay. I went to see one of the two shows from which they donated us the money. It was exactly like seeing Green Day before except there was ten thousand screaming kids. After the show I went to the doorway on Telegraph Avenue where I was sleeping at the time. As I was waiting to go to sleep I had sort of a hard time comprehending how I could be both homeless and capable of moving $150,000 to where I want it to go, all in the same day. Go figure."
Joel Selvin: "Popular Berkeley-based rockers Green Day will appear in a benefit show May 27 at Henry J. Kaiser Auditorium in Oakland. Tickets to the unadvertised show will go on sale Sunday and cost $10. They will be available at BASS outlets and at the Oakland Coliseum and Warfield Theatre box offices. Proceeds will benefit the Haight Ashbury Free Clinic, Berkeley Free Clinic, Food Not Bombs and the S.F. Coalition on Homelessness. Green Day, whose major-label debut, "Dookie," sold more than 7 million copies in 1994, last appeared in the Bay Area at the Lollapalooza Festival last summer at Shoreline Amphitheatre. Opening the show at the Kaiser Auditorium will be Pansy Division, another Bay Area-based rock band." |

Kerrang!: "The Lowdown: With a line-up that included Smashing Pumpkins, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam with Neil Young, Foo Fighters, Hole, White Zombie, Ash and Reef, Reading '95 was one of the strongest festival bills ever assembled in UK. All eyes however were on the band booked into the 8:35 PM - 9:30 PM slot on Friday's Main Stage..."
Is This Thing On: "As a 15-year-old I think I was the perfect audience for Green Day’s set. Not only was it packed with all the hits from Dookie but sandwiched in between this was loads of jokes, swearing and audience interaction. Being told by Billie Joe Armstrong to, as part of thousands of people watching, yell, 'Fuck off, you Yankee cunts' at the band felt like the coolest thing ever. The energy didn’t let up for the whole time they were onstage and they even treated us to a new song, Geek Stink Breath, which makes me feel really old to say now."
BRAVO, 14th Sept. 1995: "The fans were impatiently waiting for a huge Green Day show. Billie Joe (with a three-day beard), Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool stormed onstage at 20:35 and showed the Brits what punk made in USA is: 'Welcome to Paradise' opened their 60-minute set during which they raised a lot of dust. Billie Joe was swearing at the fans and occasionally spitting in the audience. Next to the hits like 'Basket Case' and 'When I Come Around', the punk-trio also played songs off the new album ('Geek Stink Breath'). At the end, Billie Joe returned to the stage once again and yelled: 'Punk is back!'"
Lisa Johnson: "Green Day were the hot new band, having exploded the previous summer in the States with "Dookie". Courtney Love has always had fairly good taste in, er, music, and she must have decided that Billie Joe Armstrong would be her new best friend. Hole played right before Green Day, and as Billie Joe walked from the stage, Courtney presented him with a bouquet of pink roses. As you can tell from the expression on his face, Billie Joe was a little confused by the gesture, but accepted them graciously. Hole's tour manager quickly stepped in to 'run interference' so that Billie Joe could make a clean escape." |

Junoven: "A half hour after the Riverdales left the stage, it was time for Green Day. As the stars of the day walked onto the stage, the audience went nuts, screaming and clapping. I could not hear what Billie Joe Armstrong said before they started the first song, which, by the way, I did not recognize. They had pumped up the volume a bit, so the echo wasn't a problem anymore. But now the volume was so loud that because of the poor acoustics, it sounded like Sonic Youth playing Green Day songs. Pure guitar noise to a drum beat. And singing. The second song was 'Welcome To Paradise', and either they had lowered the volume a bit or my ears had adjusted to it. Now I could understand the lyrics, and the noise wasn't so bad (but it was still bad).
They stopped playing and Armstrong asked, 'Can you say FUCK YOU?' Stupid question, of course we could. After a couple of more songs, Armstrong talked some more, but the audience was so noisy it was impossible to make out the words. Then more songs. And then Armstrong started talking again. He pointed at me (well, I guess he meant everybody in the same side of the hall) and said, 'OK, now, say FUCK YOU to those guys there,' and he then pointed at the other side of the hall. And we did what he said. And after everyone had said 'fuck you' to everyone, he said, 'Good, now everybody fight!' And it looked like some people in front of the stage did! About half an hour (or something like that) after beginning, they finally did what everybody was obviously expecting. They started playing "Basket Case", and now, for the first time after they had walked to the stage, the audience got really wild! Shouting (no boos, but hoorays and screaming, etc.) and dancing (not me though). They played only 50 minutes, first about 45 and then, after a minute of we want more's, they played two more songs, before leaving. And just before they left, Armstrong said, 'Fuck.' Was that his opinion of the gig or did he order the audience to fuck? During the show (it really was more like a show than a concert), Armstrong did several times this interesting (some might say disgusting) spitting thing. He spitted directly upwards, and then caught the spit in his mouth. A couple of times the spit however landed on his face, and he had to wipe it clean with his shirt. Also, someone in front of the stage threw a shirt straight onto Armstrong’s head. It stayed there for a moment, covering his face, then dropped to the floor – he didn’t do anything to take it off, just kept singing. All in all, it was a disappointing show. Maybe if I could have been in the front row. Afterwards, when heading back home, I heard lots of people saying that it was a shit gig or too short. I think it was a bit of both. For the price of the ticket, I might have been able to buy a couple of their albums and/or some singles from a second hand shop." |

Jesse Frohman: "Frohman doesn't even betray an ounce of chagrin when he recalls getting kicked out of a shoot by the artists themselves. 'Green Day was a great band to shoot,' he begins. 'They get the attitude, they're zany, they don't care what they look like, they just want to have fun in the pictures, and they put on a show a little bit.' Then he drops the other shoe, continuing, 'The funny thing about Green Day is, a magazine said, 'They're on tour,' would I mind going to the show and doing a few pictures there? I went to the show and Billie [Joe Armstrong] says after the first couple of songs, 'How about we kick the goddamn photographer out of here?' I'm trying to say, 'No, it's me Billie! We just had this four-hour shoot!' He either didn't see me or he didn't care, and I was kicked out, so I didn't get concert pictures.' But Frohman wasn’t just fattening his portfolio by banging around with all these enfants terrible, he was gaining combat experience. 'They were colorful,' he says of the aforementioned artists, 'they were interesting, they were great subjects, and it really set me up for a shoot like Nirvana and Kurt Cobain.'" |

troublegum_uk: "I was kind of going off this whole thing by this point, but the nail in the coffin was this gig. They finished around 9:30pm and when the crowd booed, they said they had families to look after backstage - how punk! Green Day - support: Riverdales - 20th Sept. 1995 - Brixton Academy - £8"
Kerrang!: "Green Day came on early. A conspicuously inconspicuous entrance which had you going, 'Is that them or the support act?' But Welcome To Paradise was the perfect 'How are ya?' for the rowdy atmosphere permeatin' the old Academy tonight. Why, in my day, children, punky types at gigs went around with empty glasses, cadgin' a drop or two from those tager a-plenty. But it was actually nice to discover that Green Day fans are so well off, they can launch half-pints of the precious golden beverage skywards! Then again, who really knows what the true consistency of all those droplets really were - at one point bassist Mike Dirnt did encourage the people on the balcony to gob on those downstairs... Singer/guitarist/hair colour experimentalist Billie Joe Armstrong announces that his band were 'shit at Reading' and that they were gonna make up for it tonight. And a fun-packed and frenetic show it was. If you merely owned Dookie, you were only in for a handful of alien encounters. Like 2,000 Light Years Away from the Kerplunk! album, for example. And I only know that, cos Billie Boy graciously informed us! But cool was the suckerpunch pause that exploded into Basket Case. 'Course it's no New Rose or Blitzkrieg Bop, but it's a fab wee slice of crunch Pop. Well, no complaints from the spaghetti of limbs down the front, anyway. But more than anything, you had to get off on the personal touch Green Day offer, Billie is forever casually chatting and playfully taunting, or playing impromptu snatches of... well, London Bridge Is Falling Down, for one. Anarchy in the UK indeed. Still, when Green Day did manage to get it together, there were some geniunely tasty bits. Even their goofing off on Survivor's Eye Of The Tiger failed miserably to disguise the fact that they could actually play the song. The infectious When I Come Around was aired in the clutch of encorial delights, yet the show stealer for me was drummer Tre Cool picking up a guitar and going all out nerd overkill on Dookie's unlisted-final-song, All By Myself. Classic! Hey, now forget New Rose and Blitzkrieg Bop... Good gig. Shame it ended with many gapin' at the stage with jaws wrapped around their ankles, trying to fathom why Green Day waved bye-bye at a terrifyingly sober 9.15pm..." |

MaFT: "I still hold onto my memories of seeing them at Manchester Apollo in 1995! Great gig."
"Oh, how I annoyed my mate Jowett during the summer of '95 with constant reminders to him that me and my brother Nat were going to see Green Day in September. I think eventually he hit me, but I can't remember fully. After buying 'Basket Case' (the first CD I bought, ever) and having been bought Dookie on tape for my 15th birthday from Andy and Nat, I really started to like Green Day. So when I saw an advert in the T&A (local newspaper) for an all-inclusive trip to see Green Day in Manchester including return coach travel. I made my mum use her credit card and order two tickets. I think they were about £20 each which I thought was OK. That was until we got to the coach and got given our tickets and saw that the face value was £8! £12 for coach travel in a knackered old coach?! Oh well, that wouldn't stop us, we were going to see Green Day on the last night of their European tour on which they also played at Reading Festival. We had standing tickets so were very near to the front throughout the whole night. The support band, Riverdales, were very good and finished with a cover of the Ramones song 'Blitzkrieg Bop' in which Billie Joe came out to sing. Green day started off with 'Welcome to Paradise' and from that point on the mosh pit went mental! Remember, this was my first standing gig, but I did not feel threatened at all, as Billie Joe kept telling the crowd to pick people up. I think this was the last tour when Tre Cool picked up the guitar to play 'All By Myself' and 'Dominated Love Slave'. Considering Kerplunk! was the album before 'Dookie', it was strange seeing so many blank faces when they played songs from this album. I don't really remember much of the set (it was mostly from Dookie) but we were treated to hear three songs from their next album, Insomniac ('Geek Stink Breath', 'Stuck With Me', 'Jaded'). For their encore Billie Joe switched from his trademark guitar, Blue, to a nice Cherry Red Gibson SG which, after the final song, 'Jaded', he threw into the air to smash the damn thing to pieces. Tre also wrecked his drums and a lucky kid got to take the bass drum home and someone else got half a guitar. All in all, it was a brilliant night, my first experience of a a proper mosh pit and my first taste of Green Day live! If only they could have stayed the way they were in '95. On the coach home I was accused as being a know-it-all by a complete stranger who had asked what Green Day's drummer was called, so I told them and then received the insult... We got picked up again by mum at the same garage as after Terrorvision." |

"CALLING ALL FANS: HELP! After Seattle show, some kids snuck back stage and stole Billie's black shirt and tie that he has had for five years. If anyone out there has any info about the stolen items, please tell us! Billie misses his shirt and tie."
Sid Spencer: "I remember going to see Seattle Opera's wonderful production of 'Madama Butterfly' there in 2001, and chuckling to myself about how I'd seen Green Day and the Riverdales put on a very different great show in the exact same spot in 1995."
John Goar: "...The first time I saw Green Day is when they played an arena in Seattle in 1995. Someone threw a shoe at Billie Joe and he got pissed off and cut the set short..."
Seattle Times: "Green Day and the Riverdales, 7 p.m. Tuesday, Seattle Center Arena; $15; 628-0888. Green Day has revitalized rock more than any other band over the last couple of years. It's the best of the many post-Nirvana pop-punk bands - such as Offspring, Bush, Everclear and Silverchair - mostly because of its clever songwriting, but also because of the fun way it captures teenage energy and angst. Green Day brought a much-needed boost of goofy manic energy onto the scene just when it was needed - following the shock and despair that came with the suicide of Kurt Cobain. The band had already gotten some national attention before Cobain's death, with the song Longview, an ode to boredom and masturbation, from its debut major-label album, Dookie. But it wasn't until the second single, Basket Case, a burningly intense song about going nuts, and its funny, insane asylum-set video, that the band rocketed to stardom. "Dookie" has now been on the Billboard album chart for a year and a half and sold 8 million copies. Sure to score high in next week's chart - possibly even debuting at No. 1 - is Insomniac, Green Day's new album, which has already yielded yet another wacko rocking hit, "Geek Stink Breath". The album, and especially the single, demonstrate that commercial success and incipient maturity - all have become adults and two members of the trio have married and had children since "Dookie" - have not altered Green Day's youthful, bratty, in-your-face intensity. The Riverdales is similar to Green Day in that it is a three-man pop-punk band, on the Lookout label (Armstrong helped mix the album). It is even more intense than Green Day, with fast, tight songs reminiscent of the Ramones." |

dev: "...Ditto only Regina Agrodome. Hard to believe it was 15 years ago, wow."
Joe Adams: "I'd like to see Green Day again. Great show at the Agridome back in 1995. We were on the floor right in front of the stage."
"Decided the day before the show to check out Green Day who were still riding a big wave of success from their major label debut Dookie. They had just released the follow up Insomniac and the first single Geek Stink Breath was a staple on Much Music. I had seats way up in the second level near the roof but was right above the stage, not too bad for so close to show day. Didn't know much about the opening act The Riverdales and I still don't; they came out, played their entire album song by song with no banter then left. The best part of their set was watching Mike Dirnt and Trey Cool riding skateboards behind the stage. Green Day came out firing, gleefully admitting to the crowd that the only reason they came to Regina was David Letterman sensation, Dick Assman. The band gave it their all even when the kids on the floor chucked their shoes at them. Dirnt even barked at the rowdy pricks, 'Hey, your mom paid good money for those shoes!' but that didn't stop them. Apparently, it wasn't anything new to them as they played on, dodging shoes the whole time. During When I Come Around, Billie Joe came out naked with just his beloved blue Fender covering his business. During the guitar solo he spun around and treated the crowd to a little rhythmic butt clenching. I could have lived without that, but overall a good show."
Shawn Scallen: "I shot this photo on the roof of the hockey arena in Regina, Saskatchewan on the Insomniac tour. This image is from a colour slide I shot for Warp Magazine. I didn't realize that Mike Dirnt was wearing a competing skate mag's hooded sweat top 'til halfway through the shoot and I got him to cover part of the logo in gaffing tape. He spelled out "hash". After the shoot they took off and hid the ladder leaving me and my helpers stuck on the roof for a few minutes until some maintenance staff returned the ladder. Haha. Funny guys. In the end Green Day didn't make the cover of Warp, just the table of contents page and a half dozen shots inside the mag. This is one of the 90-odd shots which weren't used. I recently scanned this slide and converted it to B&W for publication in the next issue of Stop Breathing magazine. At first I was a little 'holier-than-thou', wanting to turn this shoot down because Green Day had turned punk rock into Top 40. I decided to do it after thinking about things and realizing that it was better that 12 year olds were going to see Green Day than New Kids On The Block, and that hopefully a percentage of the 5000 kids they play to each night will go looking for music by The Clash or Fugazi or Black Flag or The Nation of Ulysses or Screeching Weasel (the Riverdales were opening the tour) after getting their first taste of punk. Also, I would get to stop in winnipeg on the way back and see my mom, grandfather and my pal Jon Schledewitz (and Green Day again)." |

Rob Williams: "...But there was no repeat of their 1995 concert at the Winnipeg Arena, when the lower-bowl fans overwhelmed the guards and rushed the floor."
When the night started out, Green Day probably thought that their show in Winnipeg, Manitoba, was going to be just like any other on the prolonged Dookie tour. They'd play their hits, the crowd would cheer and mosh and sing, and that would be that. Goodnight, you little fuckers. But the Winnipeg crowd wanted more. They were rowdy, they were disorderly, and they were locked in a battle to the death with the most hardassed security guards you could even not hope to find at a punk show. After several fans had been dragged off, kicking and screaming, Billie Joe started to shout to all the people in the stands that they should rush the stage, storm the pit! They did. An entire arena full of rowdy punk rockers flowed out of their seats and flooded the arena floor, creating a mosh pit roughly the size of a professional hockey rink. Unfortunately, Green Day didn't quite know what they were getting into. Billie Joe got hit in the head with a flying shoe, and threatened to end the concert. Then, some kid stage-dove into oblivion and really sustained a head injury worth crying about. And that was the end of THAT Green Day concert. The 1995's Winnipeg show isn't well-known to Green Day fans, but it was one of those moments in music history that, like the Woodstock show, says something about anarchy, and chaos, and free-range rebellion, that goes beyond the significance of any one single band or concert. Green Day was in the right place at the right time and they started a riot. It was far and away THE craziest mosh pit any of the long-time concert goers who attended the event had ever experienced, and it goes down in the annals of music history for that alone. However, none other than Green Day incited its transcendental nature, and no other band could have pulled it off with so much fuck-you flair."
Uptown: "When Green Day first came across Canada on an arena tour in 1995, the band told its promoter, Universal Concerts Canada, that they didn't want to come unless they got to meet MacLean & MacLean. They were joking, sorta, but Universal made sure the meeting happened anyway. Drummer Tre Cool is a huge fan of the Winnipeg-based kings of toilet rock, having discovered the disorderly duo as a kid through a bootleg cassette of the MacLeans' 'Suck Their Way To The Top' album. So it was arranged that Blair and Gary MacLean met Cool, Mike Dirnt and Billie Joe Armstrong in 1995 at the Winnipeg Arena. The duo exchanged albums, t-shirts and CDs with their much younger peers. Ten years later Blair MacLean and Cool renewed acquaintances backstage at MTS Centre after Green Day's May 17 show. MacLean got a chance to tell the Green Day drummer about the passing of brother Gary in 2001, and also introduced him to two of Gary's sons, Travis and David. 'He knew about Gary, so we talked about that for a while. I gave him all of our CD's, too, now that they're all available, and he looked at his girlfriend and said, 'Guess what we're listening to on the way to Edmonton tonight?'' MacLean said. 'He knew the whole "Take The O Out Of Country Show' by heart, even the dialogue between songs, so we were doing them together for a while. 'He said he wanted the lyrics to I've Seen Pubic Hair because he wants to do it for a dirty country album he's working on.'
As for the show? MacLean said he enjoyed it and was struck by how the band seemed to have complete control of the sold-out crowd. 'But my ears are still ringin',' he laughed. "I'm 62 fuckin' years old and I can't take that shit." Word backstage at the Green Day show was that it very nearly didn't happen because frontman Billie Joe Armstrong was suffering from a heavy cold and a sore throat. 'They had a doctor come down and spray his throat so he could perform,' one insider said. 'People were nervous for a while.' Green Day's a band that has always had Winnipeg connections. When the Berkeley, California trio broke through to the mainstream in 1994 with Dookie, its front-of-house soundman was Randy Steffes of Beausejour, Manitoba. Steffes, who was the guitarist in Bif Naked's first band, Gorilla Gorilla, was even the band's co-manager for a brief period after the group parted ways with Elliott Cahn & Jeff Saltzman in 1995. He now works with a number of groups, including Bad Religion. Winnipeg restaurateur Brad Linden was the band's touring chef at the time, providing meals for the group and its crew throughout Europe and North America. These days Green Day's Winnipeg connection is maintained by Mike Dirnt's bass technician, Micah Chong, who was introduced by Billie Joe Armstrong as being "originally from Winnipeg." To stretch this thing even further, Green Day's current sound mixer, Kevin Lemoine, was recommended to the group by another former Winnipegger (and another Gorilla Gorilla alumnus) Kent Jamieson, a Glenlawn Collegiate grad (two grades behind me) who mixes sound for and co-manages Fat Wreck Chords heroes NOFX. The band's current tour manager, Doug Goodman, is also a Canadian, and all the show's pyrotechnic effects, including the patented, 50-foot gas flame-throwers called Dragons, are supplied by Toronto company Pyrotek Special Effects. People from our little village certainly do get around in this business." |

negzero1: "I was at this show and actually have the concert poster advertisement autographed by the band (I met them afterwards). I'm down there in the pit somewhere. Tickets were $20 - I have the poster to prove it."
Tojo1978: "I'm sure I will get a lot of crap for this but I am going to be totally honest. This was and is still the shittiest rock concert I have ever gone to. The tickets were expensive for the time ($50-ish) and they only played, and not very well, for 45 minutes. The opening act (The Riverdales) were far more entertaining. Also, the venue was like 60% sold which makes for a crappy experience. Most overrated band of the 90's."
Wendy Eckenswiller: "Oh my god, thanks for posting this!! It was my first Green Day show. The tickets were for my 15th birthday... Shit, I'm getting old."
Sudsy Sutherland: "I was like 17-18 years old here. We took a limo because we came from St. Marys, Ontario which is only 5,000 people, in-between Stratford and London. But what a blast we had there, man!! I still have my ticket stub from this show."
"I went to see Green Day in 1995 when I was all of 18 years old because I thought it would be fun. As I said, for that time 50 bucks was a lot but I gave it a shot. At least I know better now that Green Day is the most over rated band of the 90's. Shit, they had to get a second guitarist because Billie Joe can't pull it off live. I feel bad for you, you're probably too young to know any fucking better."
Rolling Stone: "Don't throw your sneakers at the band. Seems like common sense. But there's no persuading the crowd during a Green Day show at Maple Leaf Gardens, in Toronto. Even a string of obscenities from singer Billie Joe Armstrong can't stop the footwear from flying. Then all of a sudden, Armstrong stops thrashing his guitar - smack in the middle of a searing rendition of 2,000 Light Years Away - to beckon one barefoot fan onstage to collect his rightful property. No hard feelings, Green Day's leader appears to tell him. The stage-struck kid scrambles up, takes a nervous bow and bends over to lace his shoes. He ought to be watching his back, though: Armstrong is behind him, wearing a boar's head Halloween mask and brandishing a butcher's knife. The crowd roars, and the kid, unharmed, leaps back into the snarling mosh pit. Minutes later, Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt bounds toward his microphone to add harmonies to a rousing cover of Operation Ivy's Knowledge, only to get smacked in the forehead by a wayward high-top basketball shoe. This time, Armstrong doesn't even notice. He's too busy ripping chords from his blue Stratocaster and contorting his face through a rogues' gallery of grimaces, gauging each one for maximum audience response. Then he turns his back to the arena and drops his pants. That's entertainment, Green Day style. Pretty soon panic-stricken security personnel are chasing down kids who have jumped from their assigned seats to the general-admission floor, dragging them out the exits. Has the evening finally gotten totally out of control? We'll never know. 'Thanks a lot, because we don't take this shit for granted!' Armstrong shouts, and the band walks off. In the dressing room, Armstrong heads straight for a sofa in the corner and clams up. Bored? Perhaps. Exhausted? Most likely." |

Warren Wilansky: "I was a moderately early support of Green Day and remember when I first heard Dookie (which I only discovered afterwards, wasn't their first album). I was the Music Director at CFLI, the Loyola Campus college radio station at Concordia University so I got a copy of an early release of the album. As a music director I had to listen to and evaluate all the music that came into the station and decide if it was something that we should shelve or put on heavy, medium or light rotation. About 10 seconds into Burnout I decided this was a heavy rotation album. Green Day clearly had found that alt-radio pop-punk balance that made Dookie exciting and energetic but also tuneful. When Green Day rolled into Montreal to support their next release, Insomniac, I thought it would be a lot of fun to see them live, even if it was at a major venue. I don’t remember who I went to the show with or much about it except that I enjoyed it and thought they were a pretty solid live band. Thanks to setlist.fm I was able to dig up the songs played at the show. Funny enough, years later, I still quite like Green Day. While they are inconsistent album to album, American Idiot is a classic that deserves all the praise that it received. My only criticism of Green Day is something that isn't their fault really, but I hate most of the pop-punk acts that they spawned. Thanks for a great show!" |

Mooney on Theatre: "Green Day was actually my first rock concert. It was 1995 and they were playing the Ottawa Civic Centre; my friends and I got seats in the nosebleeds and afterward my dad picked us up in the parking lot of the KFC on Bank Street to drive us back home to the suburbs..."
Ottawa Citizen: "...Billie Joe Armstrong - who with bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool had been trying, and largely succeeding to incite punkish behavior all night - invited the kid to chug a beer and then contrary to all rules and regulations, practically order the kid to stagedive back into the crowd headfirst..."
Christ Richard (xtinctor): "Sorry, I don’t have recordings of them. I just went to the shows and got the setlists" |

TargetQ2: "When I was younger I lived in New Brunswick (Canada) and Green Day came to Fredericton, peed on the crowd, and subsequently got banned from playing there ever again. My mom said something along the lines of, 'If that's how they act, they will never stick around.' Guess she was wrong."
"I went to see Green Day back in 1995, in Fredericton, NB, Canada. One of our local school bus drivers drove us all up there for the price of gas (we lived about two hours away), and he brought a couple dozen of us up there. It was one of the better shows I've ever been to, highly energetic, entertaining, and everyone had fun. Heh, I remember I had dyed my hair red with Kool Aid. By the time we went home, my ears were ringing, my mascara had run down my face, my dye had run down onto my white T-shirt (but hey, I had my trusty gray plaid shirt on to cover it up, which was the style at the time, I felt like I'd been beat up, and Billie Joe had actually spit in my eye while singing Going to Pasalacqua. I lost my Doc Martin shoe (hee!) but ended up getting it back in the mosh pit of all places. We had snuck our cigarettes in, and lit up before the show started, and one of the security guys saw us and said, 'HEY! You kids! No smoking in here!' And three of us looked at him in horror, then simultaneously squatted down into the crowd. We were never caught, but we finished our cigarettes quickly. Toward the end of the show, Billie dropped his pants, shirt and underwear. He was up there wearing nothing but his socks and his guitar. Sadly, because it was an all ages show, they were banned from playing there for a couple of years. Oops. However, my best friend, Adam, who is gay and had the hugest crush on Billie, came away the happiest that night. The show rocked. They sounded tight, they had fun, we had fun. I'll never forget it." |

The Boston Globe: "WORCESTER - You'd have to be numb to the idea of worldly pleasure to not have enjoyed a good chunk of Green Day's sold-out concert at Worcester Centrum last night. Hey, it was alienation, aggression and rejection all wrapped up in spikey, but listener-friendly, punk-pop melodies and played at rat-a-tat rhythms. All to make you pogo, sneer and smile. But you'd also have to be brain-dead vis-a-vis the history of punk rock to not see and hear antecendents everywhere, and figure Green Day to be very canny, successful, manipulators and emulators. Let's see: Billie Joe Armstrong plays guitar like the Clash's Joe Strummer and sings in a faux Brit accent a la Strummer and Mick Jones; he affects a hunchback stance like the Sex Pistols' Johnny Rotten; he writes songs like Buzzcocks' Pete Shelley; and, at the end, for When I Come Around, he appeared buck-naked (save shoes, socks and strategically placed guitar) like the Damned's Capt."
Boston Phoenix: "'Are you having fun?' Billie Joe Armstrong yelled to the reserved-seat crowd at the Worcester Centrum last Friday. Then he added, 'I bet you're not having as much fun as these guys!' And he gestured to the crowd standing in front of him who'd bought general-admission tickets for the Centrum floor. Those people also provided the extra-musical reason for this show's success as a great, liberating spectacle - one that had virtually nothing to do with arena-rock production effects and everything to do with band-audience interaction.
It would be hard to imagine this show without that frenzied, moshing GA mass. Throughout the concert, portions of the standing crowd threw itself into whorls. But during more uptempo tunes - or the uptempo choruses of slower songs - the entire crowd, observed from the grandstand, looked like some indiscriminate hysterical swarm, right out of an insect special on the Discovery Channel. (Army ants on fresh meat? A killer-bee hive under attack?) During the opening act by the Chicago trio the Riverdales (rhythmically acute Ramones lovers undercut by the usual opening-band sound murk) grandstanders had made occasional rushes for the gates onto the floor and been held back by security. But when Green Day broke into Welcome to Paradise, their third song, the dam broke: down at least one aisle seen from across the hall, a crowd poured like molten lava through a gate and into the arena-length mosh pit. It would be mistaken to underestimate Green Day's musical performance in this equation. Yes, it was loud and fast, but the simplicity of Green Day's material can be overstated. The three-chord A-A-B-A and A-B-A song structures wind each piece tight, into little punk-rock vortexes, at the same time that their keening melodies and precisely inserted vocal harmonies (between Billie Joe and bassist Mike Dirnt) expand them outward and upward. With the audience singing along to every word of Longview, it was easy to admire the textbook use of a bridge in a pop song at the same time that you felt your body lift. It also doesn't hurt that this seems to be a outfit utterly without pretension. If some rockers play Dionysus and Lucifer, Billie Joe is the trickster Puck, mugging, bringing an under-15 boy up from the pit and encouraging him to yell 'Fuck off!' to the audience, or stripping off his own clothes for the final encore and strutting around the stage, like a three-year-old, fresh out of the bath and into the parents' living room. Forget political punk, this was liberating art for art's sake."
Boston Herald: "The setting: Last summer, hot-off-Woodstock-multiplatnium rockers Green Day played a free outdoor concert at the Hatch Shell on Boston's Charles River Esplanade. An unexpected hundred thousand fans started rioting after authorities and sponsors literally pulled the plug midway through the event. On the band's first area appearance since that headline-creating fiasco, the question on many people's minds was: would the audience be able to control itself? 7:20 PM EST: As the mostly teenage crowd patiently waits to be frisked before entering the arena, a group of 14-year-old girls discuss security measures: 'They won't let us have chains?' one says. 'That's very, very bad.' 7:21 PM EST: Inside the men's room, clandestine teens reattach chains to wallets and belt loops. 'They're not gonna look for us in here,' reasons one. 7:22 PM EST: From the plush skybox press seats, courtesy of Reprise Records, one could hardly help noticing the sea of mint-colored heads that swirled below. Home dye jobs, courtesy of mom (how punk!), were de rigueur that night. Hm, Black Flag fans were never this devoted, they just got tattoos. 7:40 PM EST: Opening act the Riverdales take the stage and suddenly I'm at a Ramones show. Not only does the band's breakneck delivery, non-stop guitars and Ramones-sounding vocals inspire this feeling, but the guitarist's uncanny resemblance to Johnny Ramone further enforces it. 7:45 PM EST: In true Ramones fashion, the Riverdales kick off their second number with the infamous '1-2-3-4' chant. 7:50 PM EST: Between songs, the Riverdales' guitarist takes time out to heckle an audience member about securing his own place in the general-admission floor. 'How'd you get that space all to yourself?' he asks. 'By pushing 13-year-old girls out of the way? That's totally ballsy.' 7:55 PM EST: After seeing an audience member climb upon another's belly for a feeble faux stage-dive, I ponder this move's origin. Perhaps after seeing too many Pearl Jam videos, young pit pups - wanting to idolize their hero, Eddie Vedder - realized they needed to jump off of something to be 'cool' at one of today's concerts. And, not being guileful enough to scramble their way onstage, they made do with the next best (i.e., closest) thing. A real Vanilla Ice move. 8:00 PM EST: A sudden breach in security opens a window of opportunity for several hundred Green Day fans, allowing them to spill out of their pricier reserved seats and slip among the masses swarming on the floor below. An unlucky handful are corralled by security and returned to their seats. 8:12 PM EST
Just a thought: Some of the kids here are as rebellious as the Gap's fall colors. 8:30 PM EST: A nearby conversation between two local rock scribes draws my attention: S1: 'How'd you hurt your wrist?' S2: 'I was masturbating.' S1: 'I thought you were writing.' 8:35 PM EST: Green Day kick off their show with Armatage Shanks. Instrumentally, it sounds great, but lead singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong's vocals sound awful, when you can hear them. Judging by the frenzied Muppet-like moshing going on below, no one seems to notice or care. 8:37 PM EST: Great, people are already throwing stuff at the band. That's how last year's nightmare started. 8:38 PM EST: Bassist Mike Dirnt comments on action in the pit. 'We got the tough guy circle over here.' he says, pointing. 'C'mon, I'll take you all on,' he taunts, knowing he's safe atop a six foot stage surrounded by security gorillas. Armstrong announces he has diarrhea, then launches into Welcome to Paradise. 8:40 PM EST: The damn gates burst and a human deluge spills to the floor. Everyone (except security) is happy. 8:47 PM EST: Even a row of cynical, hardened rock journalists bob their heads in unison to the commanding, rubbery bass line Dirnt lays down at the beginning of Geek Stink Breath. The kid's in Fleas' league. 8:50 PM EST: Armstrong scolds the crowd for not helping out those experiencing pit peril, then launches into the choppy, blistering Chump. There's more headbanging going on here than at a Metallica concert. Just a thought: although punk may be about alienation and/or individuality, it certainly unified last night's crowd. OK, at least for an hour. The shower of flying objects never stops. 8:52 PM EST: Armstrong comes out in a gorilla mask to lead the crowd in a chant of 'Sa-tan!' No one's impressed, and the audience only makes a halfhearted effort to appease punk's court jester. 9:00 PM EST: First mohawk sighting! Neon pink, about one foot tall, straight up and out. 9:05 PM EST: In the 'tough guy' part of the pit, I spot a varsity jacket. Punk jock? I guess now that it's the 90's everything's cool. 9:10 PM EST: Armstrong pulls a nine-year-old out of the crowd to have him yell: 'Fuck you!' at the masses. 'I think your dad wants you back now,' the singer teases after the task is completed. 9:11 PM EST: During No Pride, it registers: Armstrong's vocals are coming through clearly. 9:15 PM EST: Armstrong pours water on the near-expired crowd in much the same way a priest blesses his followers. Has Green Day's power pop with attitude replaced religion as the opiate of the masses? It seems to have done so here. 9:25 PM EST: The band winds down the first part of the show with a stereotypical arena rock instrumental crescendo. Are they spoofing themselves or is this as awful as it seems? 9:26 PM EST: Holy Bon Jovi, Batman! People are hoisting lighters at a Green Day gig! 9:30 PM EST: During the encore, Armstrong takes the stage to play When I Come Around wearing only his guitar and socks. Was the pun intentional? While playing, he turns around and offers the crowd a butt-cheek rumba, then spins back, lifts his tactfully-placed instrument and gives thousands a peek at his privates. The band closes the show with Bab's Uvula Who? And the last people see of the band is a roadie wrapping Armstrong in a towel. Ah, the life of a rock star, being swaddled like a babe... Epilogue: Even though the members of Green Day couldn't restrain themselves (and who wouldn't have felt gypped if they had?), thankfully, the crowd was able to. And at the end of the night, everyone returned to their suburban castles for a good night's sleep, instead of being carted off to a jail cell. And they all lived happily ever after... The end?" |

Skibum00: "Green Day - Insomniac Tour, November 5th, 1995 - Harrisburg Farm Show Complex. I was 13."
Rock With Tom: "The Riverdales opened the show. They weren’t bad, but the crowd gave them a hard time. I remember their singer joking that they would play additional songs and make us wait longer for Green Day. They didn't play very long, but the audience was relieved when their set ended. Like most things I do for the first time, I had no idea what was going on or what I was doing. I recall cheering for the roadies as they disassembled The Riverdales’ gear because another set of roadies brought out Blue. Blue is the nickname for Billie Joe Armstrong’s Fender guitar. The same guitar that I saw on TV was literally in front of my face! We had fought our way to the front of the crowd and when that guy brought out Blue the crowd cheered like the Philadelphia Eagles had just won the SuperBowl! Although, the guitar being there actually happened. This is the part were I really wish I had a better memory. I can’t remember Green Day’s set list and I haven’t been able to find it online. I found set lists from other nights on the tour, but not this particular show. Oh well. It was the Insomniac tour so the songs I do remember them playing were pretty awesome: Basket Case, Chump, Longview, When I Come Around, Geek Stink Breath, 2,000 Light Years Away, She, etc. Billie Joe had some funny comments about the place smelling like shit since we were at the State Farm Show Arena. He was right. Including the 'encore' break, Green Day played for about an hour. When your songs are 3 minutes in length, that isn't bad; however, I definitely wanted to hear more. That November night in the shit-smelling State Farm Show Arena changed my life. I was completely hooked on the live music experience. The kids there were my age and I felt like I was a part of something greater. These were my people. Like a fat person at a Chinese buffet, I felt like I belonged. I even crowd surfed and got in the most pits. Some butthole kicked me in the head while crowd surfing which gave me a headache the next morning. I should have thanked him because I got to stay home from school the next day. When I returned to school, I remember people asking me how the show was. I couldn't stop talking about it. The same idiots who gave me a hard time for dying my hair green were asking me how the concert was. If only the phrase 'cool story, bro' existed in 1995."

h0wl: "It was great! Monday, November 6, 1995. It was held at the
Baltimore Arena in Baltimore, MD. We got to the show and there was a big
line. It started at 7:30 pm. We got there about 6:45 or so. blah..blah..
blah...The opening band was The Riverdales. They were pretty good, but I
couldn't wait until Green Day came out! They left the stage and about 20
minutes later, the lights went out leaving only a faint green light
shining down on Tre's drumset. I was so excited! Suddenly, out of
nowhere, here come the boys themselves, BILLIE JOE, MIKE, TRE!!! I
freaked!!! BJ picked up his guitar, Mike picked up his bass, Tre picked
up his sticks. Then, the incredible drumroll from Armitage Shanks
filled the arena. BJ and Mike started to play the riff and jammed away.
After that song, they started talking to us. He told us that they were
all stoned right now and everybody freaked!! Then Mike said,"No, they're
the ones that are stoned!" They all screamed again. After about 3 or 4
songs BJ said,"We're gonna play some old shit! 1, 2, 3, GO!" It was
2,000 Light Years Away. This must've been the coolest thing of the whole
night. Before the last chorus, when it's just the drums and bass
playing, somebody had thrown toilet paper on stage. Billie Joe picked it
up and said,"I've been meaning to do this all day. Suddenly, he drops
his pants and wipes his ass in front of everybody. Then, he just pulled
his pants back up, leaving the paper hanging out and went right back to
the song. In between songs, Mike was beating himself in the head with
someone's shoe that they had thrown up there and Billie Joe said, "I'm a
pot addict, Mike's a crackbaby, and Tre just killed 5 people today."
Then, he brought some guy on stage named Danny. Tre gave him some stix
and he stagedove back into the audience. Green Day finished up their set
and left. It was a kisk ass performance from a kick ass band."
Unknown: "The opening band was The Riverdales. They were pretty good, but I couldn't wait until Green Day came out! They left the stage and about 20 minutes later, the lights went out leaving only a faint green light shining down on Tre's drumset. I was so excited! Suddenly, out of nowhere, here come the boys themselves, Billie Joe, Mike, Tre! I freaked! Billie Joe picked up his guitar, Mike picked up his bass, Tre picked up his sticks. Then, the incredible drumroll from Armatage Shanks filled the arena. Billie and Mike started to play the riff and jammed away. After that song, they started talking to us. He told us that they were all stoned right now and everybody freaked! Then Mike said, 'No, they're the ones that are stoned!' They all screamed again. After about 3 or 4 songs Billie said, 'We're gonna play some old shit! 1, 2, 3, go!' It was 2,000 Light Years Away. This must've been the coolest thing of the whole night. Before the last chorus, when it's just the drums and bass playing, somebody had thrown toilet paper on stage. Billie Joe picked it up and said, 'I've been meaning to do this all day. Suddenly, he drops his pants and wipes his ass in front of everybody. Then, he just pulled his pants back up, leaving the paper hanging out and went right back to the song. In between songs, Mike was beating himself in the head with someone's shoe that they had thrown up there and Billie Joe said, 'I'm a pot addict, Mike's a crackbaby, and Tre just killed 5 people today.' Then, he brought some guy on stage named Danny. Tre gave him some sticks and he stagedove back into the audience. Green Day finished up their set and left. It was a kick ass performance from a kick ass band." |

Press & Sun Beletta: "There's a lot of love in a mosh pit. There has to be, or everyone would be dead. Thursday night at the Arena, there was a lot trust, a lot of lost sneakers and a lot of kids who should have had their parents drive them to General for a CAT scan. Welcome to the controlled anarchy of 90's punk, where 10 cops police the line around the block, everyone is frisked and everything that can be used as a projectile is checked at the door - except shoes. But this is not the punk of old. It's not about destroying the system, yourself and everything around you. It's about slacking off and never growing up. Green Day guitarist-vocalist Billie Joe is the poster boy of punk's new wave - Peter Pan with a bad attitude and vocabulary that would give Captain Hook pause. And last night he led a large and lively crowd with a mean age of 16 in an orgy of acting out - swearing, disrespecting parents and leading the crowd in a liberating singalong about mastubation. Billie Joe knows that everybody wants to feel they belong and he leads the crowd like a pro. He made them swear at each other, do the wave and exercise like a class clown would if the teacher stepped out. It was all very naughty and very fun. The band enjoys itself so much onstage it makes you feel they're glad you came. Those who didn't missed a moment when Billie Joe tweaked out a truly pathetic solo while on his back, then sprang with his arms up, wearing a grin that transcended irony. He was rewarded with cheers of adulation. And who would guess this juvenile goof is a sex symbol? Girls shrieked when he jumped. Shrieked! Most of the show, however, he paced like a caged rat and left the jumping for joy to gleeful bassist Mike Dirnt. Tight, quick and to the point, Green Day served up 45 minutes of pulse-pounding pop-punk; with only one discernible lull in their set. But pity the chaperones. What with the crowd diving off of the human platforms, slamming each other and the band makes fun of them, it was a tough night to be a parent. They must have been relieved to know there were rules in the pit. Green Day and their opener, the Chicago punk trio The Riverdales both stopped the show when the things got nasty, and told everyone to make nice. Punk in the 90's: Tick off your parents, but not so much they won't give you a ride home. And don't get hurt." |

At Stabler Arena on Lehigh University campus
John Anders: "Regarding Geoff Gehman's review of the Green Day concert at Stabler Arena, he obviously wasn't at the same show I was. Green Day was very original, inventive and quite entertaining. Every song the band played sounded clear, quite different from the band's other material, and was eagerly welcomed by the sold-out crowd. I worked this show as part of the stage crew, and lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong took the time to talk to us 'roadies' and even signed autographs, while 99 percent of other performers are whisked away to their limos or tour buses and don't even acknowledge the people who make the shows happen."
Geoff Gehman: "It's a strangely entertaining sight, watching three droning musicians prodding dozens of young listeners to slam, surf and surge like worker bees. That, however, was Green Day's only notable accomplishment on Saturday in a sold-out Stabler Arena. Like many of today's neo-punkers, the band has precious few musical weapons and a merely mild bad streak.
The first seven songs were virtually indistinguishable; certainly, the often clever nose-thumbing lyrics were. Guitarist Billie Joe and bassist Mike Dirnt ground out short, monotonous trembling lines, building impenetrable banks of noise. When Billie Joe finally broke the boredom, he soloed with three equally spaced notes; Neil Young he isn't. The band's idea of a bridge? Joe left the stage, Dirnt covered with bounding, trumped-up passages, and Joe returned with barely in-tune, out-of-the-ballpark squawking. These faults could have been ignored if Green Day had been shrink-wrap-tight. But drummer Tre Cool's well-mixed, surprisingly spry accents never jelled with Dirnt's rolling, trolling licks, and both were undercut by Armstrong's insistence on being a madman rather than a musician. With his unruly red hair, goofy leer and wobbly run/walk, Armstrong was a cross between a mild Johnny Rotten and a bobbing-head car doll. For all his blustering, he delivered only one inventive routine. Toward the end of the show he shook water into the sweaty pit, blessing moshers by making a manic sign of the cross with first hands and then plastic bottle. The main problem with Green Day is that they have three toes in punk, three in rock. They lack the Sex Pistols' anarchy, the Ramones' ramrod, hang-loose diversity, R.E.M.'s grungy melodic riffs. They need two more chords, three more meters and a real snarl or two. The concert's one apparently spontaneous moment happened during the first encore. Cool returned to the stage alone to play martial, surfy electric guitar. After Dirnt and Joe (on drums) joined him, the tune branched into a hysterical western 1-1/2-stepper. It was dedicated to Jeff; perhaps they meant Jeffrey Howorth, the local teen who, before being acquitted of murdering his parents, jotted a Green Day lyric on a schoolbook cover. The song in question is Having a Blast, which on Saturday this reviewer didn't. Preceding Green Day were the Riverdales, a group with even fewer assets. Bassist Dan Schafer, guitarist Ben Foster and drummer Dan Sullivan should have carpal tunnel syndrome for their hyperactive, utterly predictable slinging and bashing. Abrupt conclusions, count-offs and combat stances made them seem like a Ramones parody. An absolute disregard for contrast and tunefulness made them perfect mascots for The Flintstones." |

Megs: "20 years has gone so fast. The first show I ever went to was my favorite band, and I sang my heart out from the rafters. All these years and records and one RRHoF induction later I'm still crazy about them but now I can sing my heart out from the front row with all the friends I've made following the same music."
New York Times: "The Nassau Coliseum must have been expecting a rough crowd for Green Day's concert on Sunday night. Ticket holders were frisked not just for weapons, recording devices and bottles; neck chains and binoculars were also turned away. But the audience that showed up was short on hard-core delinquents and longer on junior-high students and youngsters with parents in tow. For every spike-haired punk, there were 20 young girls prepared to sing along and squeal. Green Day plays speedy, bratty, self-mocking, tuneful punk-rock for pop fans in the millions. Unlike Nirvana, who smashed the pop-punk barrier a few years earlier, Green Day doesn't write enigmatic or especially innovative songs, just straightforward, revved-up three-chord rockers harking back to the Ramones and the Beatles. Nor is Green Day uneasy that mass audiences enjoy music that once prided itself on its rejection of (and by) mass success. Punk survived in clubs for two decades, but Green Day refits it for arenas. At Nassau Coliseum, floor seats were removed to create a giant mosh pit. Billie Joe, Green Day's lead singer, admonished larger people to take care of smaller ones; he brought one audience member onstage, gave him a beer and invited him to dive into the crowd. He also toyed with arena-rock ploys from sing-alongs to spraying water. During an encore, as the drummer Tre Cool played guitar and sang, Billie Joe took a drum solo, raising his sticks overhead like a self-congratulatory rocker. The audience cheered both the gesture and the joke. While popularity has made Green Day suspect among people who have cherished punk-rock since the 1970's, in concert the band is unstoppable. Green Day plays genre-perfect punk-rock to rival any of its predecessors. With Tre Cool's double-time drum salvos and Mike Dirnt's snappy bass lines, the band has a volcanic rhythm section. Billie Joe can carry a sustained tune above their furor, and he uses a spectrum of guitar strums, from pinpoint wrist action to full-arm power chords. The band varies its arrangements simply but effectively; an instrument stays silent for a verse or two, then blasts in. True to punk brevity, Green Day's entire set, including encores, lasted an hour. Green Day isn't strikingly original, but it deserves its commercial triumph. Even as punk-rock turns into arena entertainment, it retains a vestige of rebellion, promising no panaceas. And it's a lot more fun than most previous teen-age sensations." |

Incomplete setlist
Inquirer: "At the Civic Center on Tuesday, the Bay Area band played for barely more than an hour. Did any of the preschool to high school kids, bounding about like overdosed chocoholics, feel gypped? No way! 65 minutes? That's twice as long as the 14 bursts of three-chord, manic tunefulness on Insomniac, Green Day's faster, harder, maybe even better follow-up to last year's 10 million- selling Dookie. (And for the parents in attendance, well, the show was over by 10 p.m., leaving plenty of time to tuck the precocious punkers in.) Like any act that bursts from an insular scene into the mass marketplace, Green Day has incurred the wrath of more-miserable-than-thou purists. Well, let them eat Dookie! As was abundantly apparent at the Civic Center, Green Day's chief crime is this: It puts the fun back in rock and roll. Though Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool aren't exactly a bunch of Pollyannas. 'I must insist on being a pessimist,' sang Billie Joe, his brown hair splotched with magenta, in the opening Armatage Shanks. (Cool did green-haired duties for the evening.) And the prototypical Armstrong lyric is the self-mocking query from Basket Case: 'Do you have the time to listen to me whine?' But while Insomniac reflects a real world closing in, Green Day strikes back with an irresistibly melodic, hyperspeed attack that's the antithesis of sludgy grunge. And on Tuesday, its locked-in, powerhouse rhythm section wasn't to be denied. Billie Joe led the crowd in mock arena-rock celebrations, pumped his hips a la Michael Jackson, and had everybody flipping the bird to the world. And for an encore, he switched instruments with Cool; he banged the skins as the drummer sang Dominated Love Slave, punctuated with a smashed guitar. The only snag was the overzealous security. No knapsacks, binoculars or umbrellas (on a nasty night) were allowed in, apparently at the band's request. It cost $1 to have items checked, and a huge logjam at the end of the night was the result."
Courant: "Inside the Springfield Civic Center Monday night, oblivious to the season's first snow outside, Green Day hit the stage running, tearing through its speedy songs at an even speedier-than-usual pace. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, when he wasn't riffing relentlessly on his powder blue guitar and shouting into the microphone, shaking his head like a film off its sprockets, was leaping into the air. Bassist Mike Dirnt, keeping the same breakneck pace, kicked backward at the same time, occasionally doubling over or exploding into flying kicks. Drummer Tre Cool was a bit more anchored to his drum set, yet his arms flailed the underpinning beat. The difference between this fall's Green Day appearance and last fall's is that they have another hit album and twice as many familiar tunes for the young crowd, which twitched and rippled in delight en masse when they came up. Armitage Shanks and Brat opened the set, just as they open the new album, Insomniac. Four songs in was the current single, Geek Stink Breath, whose lurid tooth-extraction video is currently grossing out viewers ('At least we hope so,' said Dirnt). And sprinkled throughout were the hits from their 8-million selling breakthrough, Dookie. Welcome to Paradise was the first of them, by way of introduction. Later came Longview in the same segue from Chump that occurs on the album; Basket Case followed by She; and in an encore that began with drummer Cool on guitar doing a messed-up country song, the finale, When I Come Around, whose loping beat is just about the slowest thing the band does. It was a set that lasted less than an hour, but it was a model of concentration. They still played nearly 20 songs. Things got craziest during one of their oldest songs, 2,000 Light Years Away, during which Armstrong donned a mask and quoted The Crazy World of Arthur Brown before imploring the crowd to 'lead a nice, clean, straight life and start listening to Hootie & The Blowfish.' Not a chance. Local malls have nothing on Green Day; Armstrong's crimson-dyed hair and Cool's bright green seemed to anticipate the Christmas season. The band's intensity and focus seems sharpened by nightly performances and a new inspiration - families back home. And it comes in sharp relief on the comparatively simple stage set - so small it was tough to see all three members from around the huge banks of speakers flanking it. Unless you were right up front, of course. And those up there, in the first all- general admission arena show in the region in years, were too busy moshing (or protecting themselves from moshing) to take much note. Green Day's punk ethos includes not only spartan staging, but bringing along favorite bands from their old record label, Lookout, to open. This year, it's the Riverdales, a trio who have taken up the Ramones' traditions, down to the countdowns, before that classic punk band even retires." |

"I saw Green Day 10 years ago on the Insomniac tour too. Setlist was about the same, except no Road To Acceptance and they played Walking Contradiction instead of 86."
"November 16, 1995. Cobo Arena in Detroit. Ah, good times indeed. I missed Walking Contradiction, though. That would have been cool to have heard that one live."
Jae Stanley: "That was a great show! I was there, and it was the first time I had seen them live. Man, I wish I had a recording of that show but sadly, I don't. I added that setlist based on memory. I kept reliving it in my head for months and years. I even made a mixtape the following day based on their setlist. I would have to make due with a recording from another show on that tour. I don't remember hearing Walking Contradiction, but I do remember 86. Road to Acceptance must have been an impromptu performance because it was played between F.O.D. and Paper Lanterns. Billie Joe broke a string during F.O.D. and started playing Road to Acceptance with a totally different guitar (first time I had seen him play a guitar other than Blue). This is all based on memory. I have nothing physical to back it up. I doubt my stubb and Insomniac tour shirt will be much help either"
"Before the incident, MTV caught up with Green Day at the Cobo Arena in Detroit, MI on November 16, 1995. They were interviewed on topics such as if touring gets boring for them, how Billie Joe and Tre Cool are new fathers, playing bigger venues, Ticketmaster and Pearl Jam, the remainder of their Insomniac Tour and what they do on their days off." |

rcthemusicguy: "During the second verse of "When I Come Around", Billie Joe noticed a group of 2 or 3 kids with brightly dyed hair trying way too hard to start a mosh pit to just this song, almost like it was the one song they were waiting for. While he was glaring at them, he started slurring the words on purpose and slowing the song way down to throw them off." |

Jeremy Prach: "In 1995, the drummer, from Green Day, Tre, called me out of the blue and put me on the guest list to see them play at the Arena. I was backstage and was quickly asked to leave. Billie Joe was rushed out right behind me and stuffed in a car with the infamous Jack Koshick. Before they could close the doors of the car, the police pulled Billie Joe out and escorted him away. Just as the cops were grabbing Billie Joe, I started taking pictures. The police grabbed me, and wanted my camera. However I was wearing oversized gloves. I pulled out of thier grip and ran for it. The police chased me for a surprisingly long time. They threatened to kick my ass when they caught me, which only made me run faster. One police officer dropped his radio, the rest thought it was my camera. They slowed up and I was able to hide on the top floor of a parking lot. After a few hours. I walked into the Journal Sentinel office with my camera and story. I was so angry that the police were going to take my camera and then threatened to kick my ass. That is a story I have not remembered until today. Thanks for listening."
"Billie Joe Armstrong pulled a Jim Morrison and exposed himself to 6,000 fans at the Mecca Auditorium, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. That was, of course, Armstrong's clever way of letting Green Day fans who understand Green Day-ese know that the Mecca was a mediocre show. Armstrong told ATN during an interview on Halloween that he only drops trou at so-so shows. Unfortunately, this time mooning the crowd, if you'll excuse the expression, backfired. After Green Day finished their hour long set, police officers took Armstrong to the Milwaukee police station, where he was cited for indecent exposure. After he paid the bail of $141.85, he was released. But why don't we let Lt. Thomas Christopher of the Milwaukee PD explain what happened, as only law enforcement can: 'Mr. Armstrong dropped his pants to his knees and exposed his buttocks to the crowd. After the concert, Mr. Armstrong was taken into custody, given a city citation for indecent exposure. He posted a bail and was released.' Thomas said this was not an actual arrest, and Armstrong is only required to go to court if he intends to contest the charge. Otherwise, he'll commit a 'civil forfeiture' and the city will take a 'default judgment.' Which means if Billie Joe doesn't come back to Milwaukee to fight for his right to drop trou, the city gets to keep the chump change. Officers went out of their way not to disrupt the concert, in order to avoid a potential riot. Instead they waited until the last notes were played and apprehended Armstrong on the way to his limo. 'The problem was he exposed himself to a crowd of about 6,000 people,' said Lt. Christopher. 'Including people as young as ten. That was our main reason for taking the action.'" |

Devin Rose: "Start drooling! The kids on this page got hold of the hottest tickets in town recently and saw punk-meisters Green Day. We caught up with the kids outside UIC Pavilion before the concert to catch a glimpse of the fashion scene. Coatless fans huddled and shivered as they waited in line - they knew they looked cool and would feel totally hot once they hit the dance floor. Besides that chillin' scene, we spotted a few other cool looks. Take a peek."
Greg Kot: "In the warp-speed world of punk, Green Day's 1991 Kerplunk! album is a mold-ridden artifact from another era. Way back in '91, the notion of any punk band playing to a full house at the UIC Pavilion, as Green Day did Wednesday, would have been ludicrous. From that long ago age of innocence, Green Day plucked a tune called 2,000 Light Years Away, about a lovesick boy pining away the night. On Green Day's new album, Insomniac, singer Billie Joe Armstrong still isn't getting much sleep, only now he's fretting about darker stuff.
In the world of Kerplunk! and the 1994 Dookie, Green Day wrote about slackers caught in the limbo between adolescence and adulthood. Now Armstrong's characters are a year older, and the ante has risen. Drug addiction, patricide, lost dignity, death - it's all 'anguish (and) mass confusion', as he sings on Panic Song. But even at its most nihilistic, Green Day plays it with a wink and we're-all-in-this-mess-together nod. When self-pity threatens to creep in, the melodies just get more boisterous, the tempos more urgent. At the Pavilion, the fun was in watching Armstrong accent every nasal syllable out of his mouth with a downstroke on his guitar, a rubbery right arm threatening to pull free of its shoulder socket with every chord. Even after selling 8 million copies of Dookie and becoming a father, Armstrong still sounds and acts like the show-off 8th grader preening in the cafeteria. Look, kids, watch me play my guitar behind my head! And check out my encyclopedic knowledge of naughty words! Did ya hear I got arrested in Milwaukee for mooning the audience? It was all in harmless fun, and the band and the audience - jammed against the stage in the hockey-rink-size mosh pit - were mirror images of exuberance, with flying leg splits by Armstrong and bassist Mike Dirnt. At times, Green Day deviated from their succession of three-chord pop singles - Longview, Basket Case, Geek Stink Breath - for some Who-style instrumental pyrotechnics, led by Tre Cool's surging drums. But generally, the band was its best playing the songs unembellished from their musically interchangeable albums. Green Day, perhaps realizing the limits of playing songs which essentially vary the sequence of only a handful of chords, barely played an hour. They may not be innovators, but Green Day knows the value of humor and brevity. Even more compact was the opening set by the Riverdales, an offshoot of the legendary northwest suburban band Screeching Weasel. The new incarnation is less earnest lyrically, and the songs unabashedly recall the stripped-down melodies of the Ramones, right down to the Johnny Ramone haircut of guitarist Ben Foster." |

"The International Ballroom wasn't much more than a warehouse with a stage at the end. Held about 3000. Very bad neighborhood. One of the biggest dumps of a venue I've ever seen, really. The Riverdales opened." |

At the Lakefront Arena on UNO campus. Setlist is incomplete/out of order.
99percenteks: "...and at the UNO with the Riverdales. That was the Courtney Love incident show."
Jason: "This was junior year in high school. Green Day's follow-up to Dookie, Insomniac, had just come out, and the band was still riding the wave that was Dookie. I liked Green Day a lot, even though it was obvious they were becoming less popular than they had been. My friend Dave liked them more, so I agreed to go with him to see the band at UNO. The floor was sold-out, so we had balcony. The show was good, but I was pissed because they only played for an hour. Granted, their songs are all three minutes or less, but they could have played more obscure songs instead of the hits, dug into some really old stuff — anything. So, I was disappointed, but they did rock."
MTV: "Courtney Love says she was roughed up by security guards while hanging out backstage at a Green Day concert, the Associated Press reports. Police said they were investigating the incident that Love said took place this past Wed. (Dec. 6) at the University of New Orleans' Lakefront Arena. Love, who leads Hole (and is in New Orleans to work with the band on material for another album), said she was sitting on an equipment box signing autographs when three arena guards ordered her to move away. She said they grabbed her by the neck and pushed her toward the seats, twisting her arm behind her back and pulling her hair while ignoring her attempts to show them her VIP backstage pass. 'My head was banged one, two, three, four times against a steel pole,' Love said Thursday. 'While this was happening, one guy was doing things down by my underwear. You don't touch a human being like that, celebrity or not.' Love said she was dragged into the audience area before the men released her. 'One of them said, 'Oh, you're Courtney Love. I'm sorry, it's all been a big mistake,' Love said. 'As if, just because I'm me, I shouldn't have been treated that way, but if I wasn't me, then I should.' An arena official declined to comment, saying he had not received a report on the incident." |

chadreligion: "Saw them [Riverdales] open for Green Day on the Insomniac tour back in '95 at The Astroarena in Houston. Dope as fuck."
Dallas Holmes: "My first 'real' gig was also the Insomniac tour, in Houston. They left the venue immediately after to go to the local radio station to record an interview for 'Modern Rock Live'... The interview is floating around GDT, with some mislabeled info I believe. Fucking AMAZING show. My life hasn't been the same since."
dallasthemenace: "The setlist from the concert that night was almost identical to the setlist of the West Palm bBeach bootleg that's floating around (that show was just days earlier) and Panic Song was certainly NOT part of that set. After the show here in Houston, TX the band went to local rock radio station 107.5 The Buzz (I dunno why it's credited to 92.1 The Edge, that was another, earlier incarnation of the same radio station) and did a special interview that was for a radio syndication show called Modern Rock Live. It aired live here locally, I listened to it on my way home from the show. There were no tracks performed in the studio." |

Todd: Green Day playing in Orange County, home of the Disneyland, Richard Nixon,
Bankruptcy and a Republican strong hold. For those unfamiliar with the Pond,
it's a couple miles down the street from Disneyland and across the Freeway
from Angel Stadium, It's home of the Mighty Ducks Hockey team.
Well the night started wrong we got our first rain in at least six months
so it was a wet drive. They frisked everybody going in saying
"You can only bring in, the clothes on your back, the Keys to your car
and Money" No beer was being sold. Plenty of bootleg T-shirts sold outside
for $10 and alot of people selling tickets or offering ticket upgrades
(I wussed out on the upgrades, I'd probably get busted or they'd be Bogus)
Inside the place looked half empty (I had read that it was sold out)
The show was suppose to start at 7:30 but the Hi-Five didn't start until after
8:00 and the seats were still nowhere near filled. The reaction to the
Hi-Five was OK, but they got their biggest applause when they said
"This is our last song" When the lights came on the placed had filled up
pretty well.
Green Day Kicked Ass, but the whole set was very predictable from all
the previous posts about what they have done on this tour.
They started out with Armatage Shanks and then Brat etc etc.
same order and songs as they've been playing.
BJ did say "It's Great to be back in California" But I couldn't make out
half of the shit he was say between songs.
Being in such nose bleed seats I had a great view of the whole Arena
lots of Moshing going on in the pits. There were two big ever changing
circles of moshers moving around the floor. There seemed to be alot of
Busts and altercations with Security going on in the back of the crowd
on the floor. Flash lights and yellow jackets all over the place.
I saw a number of guys tackled and taken down. The crowd started noticing
this and went wild, a few guys broke away from Security and all the Guards
keeping people off the floor moved in to help. At this point about 200
people decided they wanted to be on the floor and rushed down out of their
sets and stormed the floor. There was a vendor on the floor selling T-shirts
and stuff and it looked like people were nabbing shirts as they ran by.
Billy said something (shit I couldn't understand) and the Huge bright
lights on stage shone back and lit up the area were all this shit was
happening. It calmed down a bit and then they played Knowledge.
Billy got the crowd shout out Heeeeyyyy Oohhhhhhh, and Fuck you.
There were a few things thrown on stage a least two shoes and some clothes.
BJ squirted water on the crowd and then Jerked off with the Bottle and then
tried to simulate sucking himself with it. Mike looked like he had a new Bass.
Before F.O.D Billy took off "Blue" and started Playing a Black Stratocaster
which he later threw into the air and let drop on stage.
Tre came out and did his All by myself, Dominated Love Slave solo
Then WICA, and then 86 . At the end of 86 Mike shot Beer into the first
few rows while Tre was busy dissembling his Drum kit. They ended and
left the stage while Mikes bass lay on stage reverberating the last note
for a few minutes.
Great Show, The seats seamed mostly filled with pre-Ad's and young Teens
with a lot of Parents in tow. Alot of colored dye jobs and Pot smoking
everywhere. It was pouring outside when we got out. The place must have
been filled with drunks by the look of the parking lot, it was covered
with empty six packs and liquer bottles of all types.
Can't wait till next time. |

Saturday Night Hutch: "This T-shirt comes from back in the day when Green Day were awesome. I don't remember too much from the show, but I remember having a great night, and was awed by how well Green Day rocked the 7000 people in the Hordern. It was also one of the first of many times I'd see The Living End and they were awesome. Perfect opening band." |

Green Day Videos: "The Mr. T Experience was the opening band. This was one of the last shows of the Insomniac tour, just before they cancelled the rest of the tour to go home. We could have guess it in fact. I remember one thing Billie Joe said inbetween songs: 'I've got a one year old child, he's so tall, and I'm really missing him...' We could see they were tired, and the show lasted only for about 55 minutes. Great show however, with some really cool songs. Billie Joe did his spitting thing (when he spits in the air and catches it back). He also showed us his ass during Paper Lanterns. That day Mike had short black hair, Tré Cool had green hair and Billie Joe had blond hair. He was wearing a Sluggers baseball shirt. They ended the show by destroying their instruments, with stroboscope lights shining all over the stage. Tré was throwing up all his drum elements in the air and Billie by throwing his guitar the highest he could. It wasn't Blue by the way!" |

Malfark To Omega: "Twenty-one years on from when I first saw them, Green Day has finally self-actualised and become the band they were always capable of being. Now global mega-stars, the group's audience has grown from the handful of punters in the smoky, smelly Czech venue that I remember to an audience of 65,000 in Hyde Park for the second day of the British Summer Time festival on July 1, 2017." |

Austin American-Statesman: "It's the last night of October, and there are endless opportunities for Halloween fun and late-night intoxication in Austin. At Liberty Lunch, Green Day is playing."
Billie Joe Armstrong: "Yeah. I can’t remember the venue, but we were playing in Austin, Texas. It was a 2,000-seater. I was nervous. That’s when I decided to start drinking before shows. It started off with two beers. Then it went to many more after that. Liquid courage – it made me loosen up and not give a fuck."
Banjo Slacks: "Once had the honor of being pulled on stage to play Operation Ivy song on Halloween at Liberty Lunch in ATX."
Tanya: "Halloween night, 1997 Green Day played Liberty Lunch in Austin, Texas. This was the best show that I have ever seen. The band played songs from every album. Some of the songs that I can remember were: Going to Pasalacqua, Paper Lanterns, Knowledge, 2000 Light Years Away, Welcome to Paradise, Chump, Longview, Basket Case, She, When I Come Around, F.O.D., Geek Stink Breath, Brain Stew, Jaded, Nice Guys Finish Last, Hitchin' A Ride, The Grouch, Scattered, and Prosthetic Head. I think that was all. I was directly in front of Billie Joe. During Paper Lanterns, he asked for metal requests, just like always, and played a little of Eye of the Tiger, and some Ozzy, to which I shouted to him. He would play a little of the songs, and then stop. During Knowledge, he asked if anyone played guitar, and pulled up 2 guys from the crowd, one at a time, to come and play "Blue". He was really cool, hugging them and shaking their hands. Billie Joe acted as crazy as he always does, and I was loving every minute of it. The band sounded to me like they were in top form. There is just nothing like Grren Day live. Period. I didn't have a pass to go out to the back to meet them, but a guard walked me right through. I waited until they came out, and there he was. Billie Joe walked up to the crowd. He stood around while people asked him questions. He was so polite and friendly. He signed anything we wanted and gave out hugs. I was very happy about that. :) I told him that his little boy probably looked just like him, and he said, "You wanna see a picture?" I said yes and he took out his wallet and showed us a picture of him. It was so cute. Then he showed another of Adrienne and Joey together. He was so proud. He said Joey was all dressed up that day with his little Lion King costume. He also said that Joey was a better man than He was. He is just a great guy, who loves his family. I just thought that was the most down to earth thing, him pulling out pictures of the family. :) I really like Elvis, and I asked him if he was a fan. He said "Oh yeah, his was the first record I ever bought." (As soon as the show was over, the Elvis song, "Love Me" started playing. I figured he had something to do with that.) :) He also talked about Jason and the webpage. Someone had asked him about it. I kiddingly said that everyone always writes in asking for his email address, and he laughed. I thanked him for staying around and talking with us. I told him that meant alot to us, and he thanked us for being there. He was just so open to questions and didn't mind us gathering around him. You would never think, meeting him, that he was the huge star that he is, so down to earth and friendly. Mike was the exact same way. I told him that it was the best show I'd seen, and he said, "Thanks for putting up with that front row." I said that he didn't even know what it meant to me for them to stand around and talk to us for so long. He reached out to hug me. He was just so very sweet. He had a loaf of bread and he said "Here, here's your payback." He reached in and gave me 4 slices of bread hehe. Then he started throwing it. He was just as nice as he could be. He really listened to what I had to say and I appreciated that so much. I couldn't believe that I was standing around talking to Green Day. Tre had been out there for a couple of minutes, he sort of smashed into all of us hehe. Then I never saw him after that. I met him in San Antonio 2 years ago though, and he was very friendly like the others. They all are just the nicest people you could meet. Sometimes when you meet a star, they act like they don't have time for anybody waiting to see them, and that they are completely bothered by it all. Green Day reminded me of being like some local band, just talking to people after the show. They cared what we said, and really listened. I don't know if they'll see this or not, but I want to say that this meant more to me than I could ever say. I truly admire them, for their great music, and for the great guys they are. " |

Sun Sentinel: "The headliners likewise became less exotic with each new Bake Sale: Green Day in 1997..."
The Fader: "...or how Billie Joe banged this girl in West Palm Beach, Florida when the Day played the 1997 Buzz Bake Sale."
Boca Raton News: "...the Bake Sale features 13-up-and-coming or already-there bands, with Green Day at the top of the list, all for princely price of $13."
Palm Beach Post: "Whether or not the music is for you, you can’t deny that the Buzz Bake Sale has actually built quite a track record. Now in its 15th year, the annual concert has brought some pretty big names to South Florida over the years. In 1997, Green Day had yet to see the mammoth success of American Idiot, but still had quite the following." |

bogeyman: "I had never seen Green Day before and was excited when the new tour was announced. I was living in New York at the time but happened to be visiting friends in Florida and saw the first few dates of the Green Day tour starting in Florida. I could have seen them at a bigger venue but was surprised Green Day was playing Jannus Landing (an open courtyard venue that holds around 1500 people). The show sold out right away but my friend Manny got us tickets (he worked for one of the promoters, No Clubs). So Manny, Albert, Faith (my then-girlfriend) and I went to the concert together. We got to the venue a little early and had a few beers. The thing that really sucks about Jannus Landing is that there are no seats at all (standing only in the courtyard). So we maneuvered our way through the crowd and got close to the stage right before the opening band took the stage. By the time Green Day hit the stage almost everyone was sweaty and drunk and ready to rock. Green Day had the same basic stage setup as Superdrag did. Stage and lights didn't matter, the music would do all the talking and Green Day brought the house down. They opened with 'Going To Pasalacqua' and from the moment they began to play they held the entire crowd's attention for their complete show. Billie Joe Armstrong's vocals were very loud and punkish, he talked to the crowd in between songs and screamed, 'Fuck ska!' throughout the concert. 'Welcome To Paradise' and 'Geek Stink Breath' were played next and my friends and I were fist pumping, dancing and singing along wildly. I knew Green Day would be good, but not this good! Musically Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool never missed a lick or beat and you could hear and feel the authenticity of their punk rock songs. Green Day then rocked everyone's butt off and played 'Nice Guys Finish Last', 'Hitchin' A Ride', 'Chump', 'Longview', '2,000 Light Years Away', 'Brain Stew', 'Jaded', 'Knowledge' (Operation Ivy cover), 'Basket Case', 'She', 'F.O.D.', 'Paper Lanterns', 'Prosthetic Head' and 'When I Come Around'. They played for almost two hours total and the only song I really wanted to hear but they didn't play was 'Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)'. Green Day was unreal live in concert, a must-see event for everyone." |

Brandi: "Billie, Tre and Mike ran out on the stage. Billie wore all black, Mike had long pants and a sleeveless t-shirt on and Tre wore a jersey shirt and a tank top underneath. They started out with Going To Pasalacqua. It sounded great. Billie kept dousing us with water and so did Mike and the security guards. Billie got up on the amps and leaned into the crowd and they tried to pull him in - the security got even madder. Then the crowd grabbed Billie's mic. He jumped back onstage and gave the roadies a sheepish grin. Tre got up and went over to where Mike was standing. Mike was like, 'Tre, why can't you just play nice like all of the other drummers!' So he got on the amps too and leaned out! The crowd was going wild! Billie pranced around the stage looking like a fairy! Someone threw clothes onstage and Billie put them on his head during Knoweledge. So then there was a naked guy in the mosh pit the back! I stuck my toungue out at Mike and he did the same back. Billie shook his butt and Tre's threw like fifty drumsticks at one time into the air! Then Billie was like, 'Want to hear some Weezer?' He teased Say It Ain't So - he sounded good... I'll take him over Rivers any day! Then he goes, 'Want to hear some Metallica?' And he went to it! Then he did the whole Manson thing! But right before playing When I Come Around they ran backstage and everyone started yelling, 'Green Day, Green Day, Green Day!' And they came back out. Mike was like, 'We had to take a dump.' The first thing Billie said was, 'Goddamn!' He did it again and went, 'It's weird - you open your mouth and all that will come out is goddamn. Goddamn, goddamn, goddamn!" Then Billie let this loser get up on stage to play Knowelege on Blue and he totally fucked it up! (The song, not Blue. Deep sigh of relief.) Then the guy started to go off and Billie was like, 'Get the fuck off of my stage!' He tells the security guards to pick the guy up and throw him back into the crowd! It was so funny! The guy ended up hanging from the rafters and the security got pissed! After When I Come Around, Tre fell over the drumkit and ran backstage. Mike kept playing and goofing off. Billie sat on the floor and played his guitar like it's his new favorite toy on Christmas morning! Tre came back on stage with a bunch of cinder blocks and threw them on his kit. He totally trashed it! Billie was playing so loud that the vibrations knocked his beer off of the amp. The guard picked it up, doused the crowd with it and poured the rest on my head! God, did I stink!" |

Daily Press: 'I bet you guys won't play The Clash,' - barked a caller to WROX-FM Sunday afternoon. 'But that's where all your stuff comes from.' Inside the studio, the three members of Green Day - Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool - laughed about the challenge, then decided to spin something from the 1979 Clash album 'Give 'Em Enough Rope.' As a promotional stunt, the punk-rock trio took over the controls of WROX-FM (96.1) for an hour on Sunday - just before their group's show at The Boathouse in Norfolk. Clad in black leather jackets and chrome spikes, they goofed around on the air and played tunes from their own new album, 'Nimrod,' as well as rockin' cuts from Nirvana and Primus. When their air shift was done, the rockers schmoozed with radio folks and signed autographs for fans. Billie Joe looked somewhat sullen - or maybe fatigued - compared to his manic stage persona. Meanwhile, Dirnt and Cool bounced around the 96X offices acting the part of bratty punks. 'Hmm, Count Mike-ula,' - mumbled Dirnt, the bass player, as he used a Sharpie to sketch long fangs onto the image of himself on a Green Day poster. Later, drummer Tre Cool staggered down a hallway pressing what looked like a syringe to his forearm. 'Could somebody give me a hand with this tourniquet?' - he said. After drinking in the confused expressions around him, he pulled the tube back to reveal a fake needle. Psyche! By the time the Green Day entourage left the station, you saw grapefruit-sized yellow "Nimrod" stickers everywhere - affixed to filing cabinets, gold record awards, doors. I guess this is about as close to anarchy as punk rock gets these days." |

"An amazing show! It was a sold-out crowd at the 9:30 Club in Washington, DC. Superdrag had done their set and now everyone was ready for Green Day! Their roadies were setting up the equipment and the Ramones were playing over the PA. After a while, Whip It by Devo was blasted over the PA speakers and everyone knew that signaled something. Before you knew it, the boys from Green Day trotted up on stage and the crowd went crazy. They opened up with Going to Pasalacqua. Crazy things were going on the whole show. At one point, Bille Joe walked out with an Elmo doll in his pants. He whipped Elmo out and had him clapping along to the song. Then he brought a member out of the crowd to play along to the cover tune, Knowledge. After the guy played along, he commenced in the traditional stage dive. When I Come Around was the second to last song. After they played that, Green Day absolutely destroyed their set. BJ was playing weird shit on the guitar, Tre was trashing his drum set big time (their were sparks flying when he was hitting the cymbals against each other!) and Mike was spraying water and beer on the crowd. Well, there it was, a trashed set, absolute chaos onstage. Then, the roadie took one of the mics and just placed it towards the middle of the stage. Then, BJ came out and played Good Riddance (Time of Your Life). The crowed loved it. Billie didn't play it acoustic though, he just played it on his regular old guitar. It ended what was possibly the best live act that I have ever seen. If you get a chance to catch Green Day live, you won't regret it!" |

John: "I went with my friend's band Marvin's Tendency. When all went straight for the stage. It was pretty difficult because there were about 200 people crammed up front. At about 9:10 Green Day came out - it was so exciting! Tre wore a black Nimrod shirt and shorts, Billie Joe wore the usual black T-shirt and Dickies, Dirnt wore plaid pants and a red wife-beater. They opened with Going To Pasalacqua, then they went into Welcome To Paradise. Dirnt stopped to spray us with beer. Then they played an Operation Ivy cover, Knowledge. During this song Billie Joe let some kid play the guitar. 'The kid basically sucked and didn't know what the hell he was playing,' said my friend Justin, the guitarist of Marvin's Tendency. I took pictures of the band with a piece of crap camera. Later on they played Chump/Longview. They covered The Beautiful People and taunted the crowd with a Tickle Me Elmo doll. During Paper Lanterns Justin and I crowdsurfed to the front of the stage and the security guards threw me onto a metal railing. Also at the end after trashing everthing on the stage Billie Joe played Good Riddance. It was a great night. Also the bassist of Marvin's Tendency caught Mike's pick when he threw it into the crowd." |

Mike: "After a poor set by Superdrag, Green Day took the stage by running and doing a few cartwheels. Billie Joe sported The Queers bumper sticker on the back of his black T-shirt. The band wasted no time in launching into their opener, Going To Pasalacqua. The sound was, to say the least, awesome. The 3,800-seat hall was only about half full, but the band seemed to pounce on its intimacy. Billie Joe spoke freely with the crowd, recalling the melee that took place when they played the Hatch Shell in Boston in 1994. Prior to The Grouch, Billie dedicated the song to all his 18 year old fans who grew up on Dookie - accepting the blame for their presumably fucked-up lives. The set went on to include such hits as: Chump/Longview, Welcome To Paradise, Hitchin' A Ride, She, F.O.D., Basket Case, Geek Stink Breath, and Brain Stew/Jaded. They didn't play J.A.R. or Walking Contradiction, but their playing of so many radio hits clearly showed their love for the music, regardless of its commercial status. The show was as if the band and the crowd were having a big party. Billie Joe donned a necktie thrown on stage prior to Welcome to Paradise, and during Ivy's Knowledge, Armstrong allowed a kid from the audience play his guitar. The mostly hardcore Green Day audience appreciated spirted renditions of 2,000 Light Years Away, and One of My Lies. Newer tracks such as Nice Guys Finish Last, Scattered, and Uptight seamlessly fit into the bands professional set. Billie Joe announced the traditional set closer Paper Lanterns before ripping into a frenzy. As usual, he slowed the tempo down to include an extended interlude with maximum foolishness. He put his guitar down to climb the amps and spray water on the crowd; he got the crowd to clap in unison with an Elmo doll, and he sang the Mickey Mouse theme song. Throughout the night, Tre would toss his drum sticks up in the air behind his back at every chance he got. At one point, he picked up a large handful, hit his snare once, and threw them everywhere. The band returned to loud applause as they launched into their encore, Prosthetic Head. This new track sounded dynamite, with its soft-loud-soft-loud dynamics and ascending vocal harmonies memorizing the crowd. Next came When I Come Around, complete with vocal support from the audience. As the song ended, Billie Joe thrashed on his G5 chord while Mike and Tre demolished the stage. Everything, save for BJ's mic stand, had to go. The carnage was so serious that Tre Cool ended up limping off stage. Billie Joe finally rested his guitar against the amp, and exited the stage to resonating feedback and tremendous cheers. He returned a minute later to perform Good Riddance - the touching solo number which brought out all the lighters. He placed his mike stand on top of his front monitor amp, and, standing as close to the crowd as possible (about four feet away), opened up his heart. When it was over, he said nothing, but his face had this sincere look of, 'Well, wasn't that perfect?' In the end, the whole night was perfect. Green Day might have lost its Top 40 status, but neither the band nor its fans seem to care. In fact, if Green Day continues to put on such complete shows as last Thursday's, their best days may very well still be ahead of them." |

S.W.: "I just went to their concert at the Electric Factory in Philadelphia. All I gotta say is that it was one of the best days of my life. When I got their my friend and I smoked a joint with some guy we didn't know (big mistake). After about ten minutes we found out that it was laced with something. I passed out and woke up in the first aid room. I was feeling better and they made me call my parents since I was underaged. Well, I was sitting in a chair backstage in the hallway waiting to use the phone. Billie walked out of his dressing room and stood there staring at me for about ten minutes. Then, I had to go into the office to use the phone. When I came back out he had already gone back into his dressing room (all of this happened before they came on stage). After the concert I waited outside for the band to come out. The long wait was well worth it! I got Billie Joe and Mike to autograph my ticket stub. Right now that stub is hanging up on my wall next to all my posters of Green Day. When they were leaving I told Mike that his pants were really cool and he smiled and winked at me! They made my day."
The Inquirer: "Green Day, three guys from Berkeley, Calif., who have sold more albums than any punk band in history, aren't making millions off their originality. It's their energy, attitude and hooks, plus rock-solid musicianship, that have propelled them to the top of the heap. And in Friday's show at the Electric Factory, they had enough of all four to burn. The trio ignored most songs on its new album, Nimrod (Reprise), that vary from the punk genre. Except for the Stray Cat strut of Hitchin' A Ride and the show's closer, a solo acoustic Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life), from frontman Billie Joe Armstrong, this was a punk concert that could have been ripped right out of the late '70s. As at past shows, the restive bass riffs of Mike Dirnt and hyperspeed drumming of Tre Cool blasted the energy level through the roof, while Armstrong's four-chord rhythm guitar supplied the mighty hooks. Armstrong is a consummate showman, just as skilled at entertaining as Frank Sinatra or Neil Diamond. Though the comparison isn't an obvious one to make, all three know their audience's fantasies and act as a mirror for them. In Armstrong's case, however, the fantasy is of finding a place where misfits are accepted, even celebrated. It makes sense, then, that Armstrong both insulted and praised his audience, 'blessed' them with bottled water like a punk priest, introduced himself with a smirk as Paco Techsquala, and alluded to being a loser in funny, off-the-cuff comments full of expletives. Fans were both guessing what he'd do next, and feeling like his coconspirators." |

MyaloMark: "Back in '97 I was sharing an apartment in Providence with Art Tedeschi, drummer for a now-defunct band called Waterdog. They sounded very much like Green Day and were on the same label. A couple of times they'd shared the stage. So one Saturday, Green Day was scheduled to play at Lupo's and Billie Joe had our address and decided to track Art down. So Art answered the door to find him standing there. He came in and sat around for a bit. Then he and Art went to Berk's Shoes on Thayer Street to buy himself some new shoes. I had other things to do. That's about it. Nothing much more to say about that one."
Whatever: "Still immensely popular with the 14-18 year old sect, Green Day has managed to grow older while maintaining the energy level they've always had. This show was sold out with plenty of all-agers trying to survive up front while their parents watched from the back. The pit wasn't the most dangerous I've ever seen, but it did start up the second Green Day started playing and didn't stop until the end. Lots of little kids were in the fray, but nobody got hurt as far as I saw. Billie Joe may be a father now, but he still isn't the best role model. He made sure to tell everybody that he thinks benefit festivals like the Tibetan Freedom Concert are bullshit, becasue rock'n'roll is 'about getting fucked up and listening to mucic, not some stupid hippie shit.' He also asked how many guys had little cocks, then told them it was okay. Green Day was cool enough to make sure there were tons of speakers pointed every which way so that you could hear from every direction, even if you couldn't really see. As the show went on I got maved further back but the sound was always excellen t which was refreshing. Although Green Day has a new CD out, Nimrod, they played a good mix of their old stuff and weren't shy about playing the hits from Dookie. Of course it's easier to play a big mix of songs if all of them are under three minutes, but they really tried to keep it fun for everybody. Green Day may be a punk band at heart, but part of the reason they've become so popular is they write great rock'n'roll hooks. The new stuff rom Nimrod is just as rock'n'roll as Dookie was, so it's easy for people to like it even if they haven't bought the CD yet or had it force-fed to them over the radio. Billie Joe didn't strip down and flash his penis like he used to, instead he started asking for people to throw shirts and hats at him so he could wear them all at once and lose some weight sweating. The band did sprinkle the pit with lots of water to keep them cool, and had plenty of room to run around since they don't take up too much space with huge drum kits or anything. To keep things real Billie Joe now invites somebody up to play Knowledge, on his guitar to show that anybody can be in a punk band. He may have grown out of Gilman, but he still tries to keep his punk heart pure. It was actually a great time for everybody. The Docker dads in the back knew the words to some of the songs, and their kids danced around in relative safety. The drinking folks gathered as close to the bar as possible, while the pit freaks moved up front. Everybody staked out their space and did their best to hold on for the ride." |

Hartford Courant: "The California punk band Green Day plays the Webster Theater in Hartford Monday night. The band began touring at the end of October, fresh from the release of Nimrod, their latest CD. Nimrod made its debute at No. 10 - not surprising, considering the success of the 2 million-selling Insomniac and their 9 million-selling breakthrough, Dookie. Superdrag, a hit on alternative radio stations last year with its Sucked Out single, opens the all-ages show. Doors open at 7 p.m. Tickets are $17.50. The Webster Theater is at 31 Webster St., Hartford. Information: (860) 525-5553."
"Last night I met Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool. The show went down in a converted old movie theater, Webster Theater in Hartford, CT. I first spotted Mike coming out of the massive tour bus. 'Hey, Mike! How's your elbow?' I said. 'It feels much better now, thanks,' he replied. I got his autograph. Then Tre leaped out from the bus. 'Hey, Tre! Nice to see you, buddy,' I said and gave him a big pat on the back. He was in a hurry to get inside, so he did not stop to sign autographs. Anyways, the show was sold out. Big surprise. I had brought along a disposable camera to catch the original noize boyz in action. It was taken. Fuck! I took my place not where I had wished, but still closer to the action. Fuck yeah! Going To Pasalacqua! Then they did Welcome To Paradise, and then I forgot what was next. Anyways, they rocked. I hung around with my friends Nick and Vinnie after the show, looking for free Green Day shit on the floor. I got my brother and me shirts, then got my camera back! I went outside. That fresh air felt great! I took photos of their bus, and everything else worth saving for memories. Then, I noticed a crowd appear from nowhere. It was Tre! Tre was just hanging out getting fresh air (not that big with autographs, I guess), and my heart stopped. Tre shared his beer with me, and I just stood there taking pictures of him, trying not to faint. When he left, I walked around a bit. When I got back, Mike was the center of attention! I talked one on one with him, and inquired about everything from 'what happened to John' (the answer was, 'We killed him. Just kidding. We are still really good friends.'), to asking him on his views on ska, and King Of The Hill, and at one point he showed me a picture of him and his baby girl, Estelle. (She was so cute!) Then he left, and I gave my number to a couple of roadies. I got a pick and an autograph from Mike, a swig-o-beer from Tre, a touch on Billie's foot, hands shaken, pats on the back, two tees for me and my brother, and a shitload of memories." |

Mike Long: "Yup, this is me at 16! Grabbed from a bootleg VHS, shot at the Phoenix in Toronto, and yes, this was planned before the show. Nice guys, yep! Three years later, I worked on the Warped Tour that they played on, ran into them many times afterward in various cities. Now they're on Broadway and stuff, I'm holding it down in the Hammer."
"Yeah, I was at the show, and I was 16, too. I remember you up there very well. So it was planned, eh? Cool. Tre Cool was walking up and down the lineup outside and my friend and I followed him to Mike Dirnt, who was just standing there signing green picks for people beside a large van. At one point in the show Billie Joe just held a chord at the end of a song, looking me right in the eyes. I'll never forget it. It was one of the greatest shows I've ever been to."
Toronto Sun: "In another time, Green Day's energetic singer-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong might have made the perfect court jester. He certainly showed he knew how to whip a crowd into a frenzy last night as more than 1,000 Green Day fans were treated to a rare and raw club show by the Berkeley-based trio whose muscular punk sound has sold 20 million albums. So maybe Armstrong's silly shenanigans - including the use of a Tickle Me Elmo doll to get a clap-along going, impersonating both Marilyn Manson and a heavy metal handbanger, inviting an audience member up on stage to play guitar, and dressing up in a half-dozen shirts, a toque and a bra thrown from the crowd - were inspired by the small room. Or maybe it was Green Day's mini-concert in the alley behind HMV earlier in the day. Whatever the reason, Armstrong was definitely pumped from the get-go as he, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool took the stage to the strains of Devo's Whip It. 'I am the Karate Kid!' he yelled after someone tossed up a T-shirt which he promptly wrapped around his head just two songs into the evening. Both older favorites Geek Stink Breath, Chump, Longview (which began as Manson's The Beautiful People) Brain Stew, Basket Case, and new songs, Nice Guys Finish Last, Hitchin' A Ride, The Grouch and Scattered, from their latest album, Nimrod, followed. But in the end it was Armstrong's seriously playful sense of humor, something getting harder to find in music, that set Green Day's performance apart from so many other shows this year. It definitely goes down as one of the funnest evenings of music, if nothing else. 'I remember some of you from about four years ago,' he teased the crowd at one point. 'You guys were like 14 with your mom and dad saying, 'I like your band.' Now you're 18 or 19 and you're completely fucked up! I'd have to take full responsibility for that!' My only regret is that Green Day didn't play more of the more interesting, experimental stuff from Nimrod. Here's hoping the band is saving that material for a bigger show, expected to return to Toronto next year." |

Stacey Lynn: "Throwin' in back to my very first show ever at the Fillmore back when it was The State Theatre. Look at those service fees..."
DD: "There was a big group going down to State Theatre to see Green Day so I gave in and let my daughter Stacie go. In 1997 her ticket cost her only $17 which wasn't bad for a pretty hot band."
"I saved up my money and now I was flying to Detroit to see Green Day. They were palying at the State Theatre. I arrived there an hour and a half early and got a a glimpse of the band. Mike and Tre went in first, then so did Billie holding his son Joey with a court jester hat on. I shook Billie's hand and he said, 'Alright, see you all inside in a little while.' All the girls started to scream and yell. After that all the people went to stand in line to get good seats. But I stayed outside with a group of guys just talking. All of a sudden Nice Guys Finish Last comes on, and then Welcome To Paradise. This was their soundcheck. Me and my dad then butted the line and got first row in the balcony. Green Day roadies set up the drums and amp stacks. A big curtain came down behind the drum set. Ramones songs were played in the background. That stopped and Whip It came on. The lights went on and Tre summersalted onto the stage, Billie hit a chord and Mike hopped around. They started with Going To Pasalacqua - this was the best. Billie said, 'It's been two years too long, dammit.' Then they played Geek Stink Breath. Billie said, 'This dude in the front row keeps saying, 'Fuck pussy, fuck pussy,' but I think he's been fucked in the ass too many times.' It was funny as hell. Some dude played Knowledge and during Paper Lanterns Billie said he was short on clothes and everybody threw clothes on stage. Billie put 15 or so shirts on. The show ended with Paper Lanterns, but the encore was still to come. Tre smashed the shit out of his drums and Mike got up on his amps, threw beer and water into the crowd and all over the sound guy. After the show I met Tre, got his autograph, and shook hands. This was the greatest." |

Josh Kaplan: "Inbetween the two bands, Adrienne and Joey walked across the stage. Joey threw a beach ball out to the crowd. Suddenly the lights went off. Then Green Day ran out and Billie struck a chord. Everyone went nuts and Billie went into Going To Pasalacqua. It was great. Everyone started moshing and singing along. The people up on the balcony stood up and sang along too. Green Day played for about two hours, which is a lot for them. During Longview's intro Billie motioned for the crowd to be quiet. He started whispering, 'The beautiful people,' and got the crowd to say it while he put his arms up and laid his head on his right arm, symbolising Jesus on the cross (or Manson for that matter). They extended a lot of their songs, like Hitchin' A Ride, Paper Lanterns, 2,000 Light Years Away and Knowledge. Billie had the crowd sing a lot for him. During Knowledge, he brought a fan named Bob and told him if he couldn't play, everyone would beat the shit out of him. He was awesome. Bob tried to go backstage when Billie said, 'There's only one way out, and you have to stand right there.' He pointed to the edge of the stage. Bob stood there for a while and Billie told the crowd to catch him. He finally jumped and Billie continued to play. During another extended song, Billie put down Blue and walked over to Mike's side and started spraying the crowd with water and beer. He then climbed up onto the balcony, where he gave a girl a hug and sprayed more water. Inbetween songs, Billie said, 'I bet all of you are fucked up right now. And all I have to say is I take full responsibility for this,' making everone cheer. Before Brain Stew, Billie asked if anyone wanted to hear some metal. Eveyone yelled. Billie said everyone had to play the metal game, where every time he hit a chord, people were to throw their arm up in the air. He had a practice run where he went, 'Ready, on the count of three. One, two, three,' and didn't play anything. Everyone threw their arm up anyway. Billie laughed and went into Brain Stew, which was awesome. At the end of the show, Tre smashed his drumkit, throwing the bass drum and his sticks into the air. He acted like he was going to throw the bass drum into the crowd, but didn't. All of the sudden, Mike threw his bass twenty feet up in the air, having it come down with a crash. Mike, Tre and Billie left, leaving their guitars out on stage, with the feedback pumping. The feedback lasted for about 5 minutes, then Billie came out and did a distorted version of Good Riddance."
"This was the seventh time I've seen the band play live, and I must admit, they put on one of the best performances I've ever seen them do. Early in the set, Billie Joe reminded us how long it has been since the band has played Chicago: 'It's been two years. Two years is too fuckin' long.' I couldn't agree more, as the last time I saw them was the show Billie Joe made reference to, two years ago on the Insomniac tour (with the mighty Riverdales), and it fucking ruled to see them live again. The crowd was pretty young. Let's put it this way: I'm 21, and I felt like one of the oldest in attendance - except for the parents, of course. Upon entering the Riv, we walked by the t-shirt stand. There are several Nimrod shirts for sale. My personal favorite is the gray one with the big yellow Nimrod circle on the front, with the Nimrod-style Green Day logo on the back. The band was also selling black t-shirts with the Nimrod CD cover on the front and the [back cover:] song-list (as seen in the CD) on the back. Two designs with weird looking cartoons and the words Green Day on the front with Nimrod on the back were offered, as were two colors of short-sleeved, collared 'gas station' style shirts and a long-sleeved tee with the towns on the Nimrod tour on the back. The long sleeved shirt was the only Nimrod tour shirt offered. Most of the tees were $15, the long sleeve was $27, Green Day baseball caps were $15, and earplugs were a buck. Opening act Superdrag was okay, but they couldn't compare to past bands I've seen open for Green Day, like the Riverdales, Tilt, and the Smoking Popes. Maybe that's just because I'd never heard any Superdrag before I went to the show, though. Between sets, the waiting music played was various Ramones tunes, among them: I Wanna Be Sedated, Pinhead, Teenage Lobotomy, Beat on the Brat, and Sheena Is A Punk Rocker. During the set-change, a banner displaying the Nimrod-style Green Day logo was lowered. This was the first time I'd seen them play with a banner behind them since the first leg of the Dookie tour, when they had the Dookie Dog banner. Also between sets, a woman brought out a young boy, who tossed a beach ball into the crowd. Now, I've never seen pictures of Billie Joe's wife or child, but I'm wondering if this was Adrienne and Joey. As they left the stage, the woman held the boy up to give a high-five to the roadie, so I assume whoever they were, they're close to the band. If anyone can confirm for me it was Adrienne and Joey, I'd appreciate it. After the last Ramones waiting music song - Blitzkrieg Bop - the house lights were killed, and Devo's Whip It blasted from the amps. Soon after, Mike ran onto the stage and towards his bass (his hair was brown, and he wore a gray sleeveless t-shirt), then Tre appeared behind his drums (with green hair, and wearing the gray Nimrod t-shirt available in the lobby), and then Billie Joe came out (He wore a black t-shirt, and his hair was black. Does he dye it blue and red and blond and stuff anymore?), ripping an A chord out of Blue. The band quickly launched into Going to Pasalacqua. Now, one thing I noticed differently about this show, is that Mike sang along with almost every song. Not just his back-ups, but when Billie Joe was singing the verses, Mike was standing there, chugging away on the bass, and singing along with every word. Maybe he does this all the time, but I'd never seen him do it before, and I thought it was very cool. Billie Joe let the crowd sing the final three words of the chorus to Welcome to Paradise, and he introduced Geek Stink Breath by saying, 'This is a song about drugs.' Next, he informed us, 'This next one is a brand new song, it's called Nice Guys Finish Last.' In what I considered one of the coolest parts of the entire night, as the final chord of The Grouch was fading away, Billie Joe stepped to the mic and said, 'That song was dedicated to Mr. Ben Weasel.' The band then played one more slowed-down refrain of 'The world owes me so fuck you' before finishing the song. During the opening of Longview, when it was just Tre on his toms and Mike playing the bouncy bass intro, Billie Joe leaned in close to his mic and started singing, 'The beautiful people, the beautiful people.' Mike soon joined in, and they sang this for a bit, then Billie Joe did a quick Marilyn Manson impression, then they got into the song. Frequently, Billie Joe stretched his mic stand as far as it could, standing on the very edge of the stage and up on the monitors, to get closer to the crowd. Before Brain Stew, Billie Joe asked, 'What do you guys wanna hear?' Someone up front must have answered the same way I did, for Billie Joe looked into the crowd and played the first few chords of At the Library before stopping and laughing. (BASTARD! I've STILL never seen them play that, one of my favorite songs, live!) He finally decided that we wanted to hear some 'metal,' and so he asked the crowd, 'Do you wanna hear some fuckin' metal?!' He continued to ask until we responded loudly enough, and after telling us we had to put our fists in the air every time he hit a chord, he started playing Brain Stew. Frequently, throughout many songs, Billie Joe encouraged the crowd to shout lots of hey's and such. It was a blast. After informing us all that, 'This next song was originally done by a band called Operation Ivy,' they launched into Knowledge. Mid-way through, before the last verse, Billie Joe then searched the crowd for someone who could play guitar. He finally found someone, and after asking him, 'Do you SWEAR to fuckin' GOD you can play guitar?' this guy was invited up, though Billie Joe warned him, 'If you can't, everyone here is gonna kick your fuckin' ass.' I myself have been playing guitar for about five years, and so I can safely say that the guy, Bob, did an awesome job finishing up Knowledge. Early in the set, I'm not sure where, Billie Joe said, 'I remember a lot of you. I remember when you were 14, and you came up to me and said, 'Hi, Mr. Billie Joe, I really like that song you do called Basket Case.' You were at the show with your parents. And now you're, what, 18?' Cheers from the crowd. 'And you're totally FUCKED UP?' Louder cheers. Billie Joe nodded. 'I just want to say I accept complete responsibility for that.' At another point, Billie Joe looked into the crowd and spotted someone's Mancow t-shirt. 'Mancow?' Billie Joe asked. He took on a sarcastic face and asked, 'Haven't you ever heard of Howard Stern?' Mike joined in, too: 'Mancow? We ran that guy out of the Bay Area, you can have him!' Rock 103.5 was handing out stickers. The fans were throwing them. Billie Joe asked for one, and he read Rock 103.5 into the microphone. Mixed response. Then he asked, 'Well, what do you think of it?' Loud boos. Mike laughed, 'Ha ha! They don't listen to your station!' Also, Billie Joe also asked, just as he did two years ago, if anyone in the crowd remembered McGregor's (and Dimitri the stripper). Also just like last time, no one did. The next-to-last song was introduced: 'This song is called Fuck Off and Die.' They ended their set with Paper Lanterns. During the breakdown, where they used to do the medley of Eye of the Tiger, Rock You Like a Hurricane, Fight For Your Right to Party, Sweet Home Alabama, or whatever the hell they felt like doing that night, Billie Joe put down his guitar and picked up a shirt that had been thrown onto the stage. He put it on over his t-shirt, and asked for more. The fans continued to throw stuff on the stage, and he continued to put it on. He must have put on six or seven shirts, as well as a baseball cap, before asking us, 'Do you like my new Chicago wardrobe?' He got Blue back, and then told us that he had to go take a pee, and so they finished the song and left. They returned a few minutes later (Billie Joe was back in his t-shirt, having ditched his new wardrobe while he pissed, apparently), and they opened with an awesome encore performance of Scattered. At the end of When I Come Around, they then proceeded to totally fucking trash the stage. Tre knocked his drums all over, Mike knocked over his amps. Mike and Tre then splashed water bottles all over the crowd (Billie Joe did this a lot during the show, too - most memorably when he climbed to the nearest balcony, ripped down the 'No Stage Diving, No Body-Surfing' banner and threw it into the crowd before spraying some water), and after finishing each bottle, Mike launched them into the crowd. He even got a few into the high balcony; I was quite impressed. He sprayed some beer bottles like champagne, too, and then casually tossed them back onto the stage. Through all of this, Billie Joe just sat before his amp, tuning down his strings and creating a lot of feedback. After Mike and Tre left the stage, Billie Joe continued doing this for several minutes before setting his guitar down, getting a new one, and then returning to his mike stand for Good Riddance. On the final chorus, he gave us all a nod and sang, 'I hope you've had the time of your life.' And then he finished the song and left." |

Lindsay: "Last night was a GREAT show! Before the show started they had Billie's kid Joey on the stage with a mini guitar for a photoshoot! I went to the show where Billie got arrested for mooning the audience! He came back with the full intention to fuck shit up. He promised the crowd the nudity of at least one member before the show ended. Billie had the crowd chanting The Beautiful People. Then ever so popular Paper Lanterns came on, Billie told everyone to throw their clothes up on stage. He put them all on and said, 'I'll do the oposite of last time. But at the end of the show it will be one long strip show!' Tre went flying by with his pants down on one of those speaker carriers! After F.O.D. they proceeded to demolish the stage, and that's when Billie came forward to sing Good Riddance. After the show I gotta meet Tre. He said I and brother were cute! Then Mike signed a picture my brother drew of them. He said that he liked my pants and that I looked good! Overall it was the best night of my life!" |

John Goar: "I teach middle school in Washington state. But I used to teach at John Swett High in Crockett, California. And I had this kid in class who became a rock star. I remember Billie Joe well. He used to sit in my math class on the third floor of the ancient, run down brick building in the back of the room right next to the window. He had a perfect view of 'Tightwad Hill.' I don't remember if he was a good student ... if he did his homework or got good grades. But I do remeber him as a good person, he got along with just about everyone (except, perhaps, the vice principal) and he was pretty cool, mature for his age. My biggest dissapointment is that he once invited me to come and see his band, Sweet Children. I didn't go. I don't remember why. Now, with Green Day's success, I'd kill to have seen that band. Anyway the first time I saw Green Day is when they played an arena in Seattle in 1995. Someone threw a shoe at Billie Joe and he got pissed off and cut the set short. I liked the Nimrod tour a lot more. My wife and I saw Green Day play a small club on Dec. 2, 1997 and the show kicked ass. Green Day just wasn't made to play arena shows. Anyway, I'm a big fan. I wear my Green Day shirt to school every now and again. And I've got a Green Day poster up on the wall. It's cool to tell my students that Billie Joe was once one of my students. A few of them don't believe me, oh well. Hey, Billie Joe. I bet none of your other teachers have asked for a back stage pass. Next time you come to Seattle, what do you say? I'd like to party with a rock star and a former student!"
Evol: "Actually, they did my best friend's dad went to the concert and they played a bit of Sassafras Roots" |

Mike Alden: "I arrived to the venue about four hours early just to hang out. They wouldn't let anyone in and I didn't have tickets so I was forced to sit in the cold with my two friends. I wasn't sure how I was going to get in so I just waited with my friends for an opportunity to sneak in. When my friends and I first arrived, Tre and Mike were out in back signing autographs and answering questions. I just stood in awe until they finally went in. About an hour later Green Day and D Generation had their soundchecks. Green Day played The Grouch and Brat. At about 8:30 everyone had gone inside and me and my friends were stuck standing outside. We sat around and listened to D Generation for a while and then I noticed Tre going out to the bus. So we ran over to that area but no one was there. After a few minutes of waiting Mike came out and asked why we weren't inside. We told him that we didn't have any tickets and he just told us to wait as he ran inside the bus. He finally came back out and gave us tickets to get in. Then we ran inside and got ready for the concert. Whip It came on. Billie Joe struck a chord and then they began playing Going To Pasalacqua. During the show Billie sang The Beautiful People over the opening of Longview, taunted the crowed with an Elmo doll, let a kid come onstage to finish Knowledge (then made him stagedive off), cussed about how screwed up everything was for a minute, made the crowed yell 'fuck you' to the second level and made the second level yell 'you suck' to us then made us all yell 'fuck off' to them, he put on a whole bunch of clothes that people from the audience threw onstage and acted retarded. He pleasured his water bottle. Someone handed Billie a pipe and he took a hit but first asked if it was laced with anything. The person said no. So Billie and Mike started complaining about how they want the hard stuff like speed. And at the end he played this really annoying chord for about ten minutes as Tre and Mike destroyed the set then he ran on played Good Riddance and the show was over." |

"Then lights went off and all of sudden Green Day ran out on stage. I was about fell to my knees! They opened with Going To Pasalacqua, my favorite. I was crying, trying to sing, getting trampled in the pit, jumping around like crazy all at the same time. I just couldn't handle it. I went to the back and gathered myself. Before I fainted, it wasn't the roughness of the crowd that freaked me out. I can handle just about any concert. It was the fact that Green Day was played right before my eyes! I ended up going back into the crowd. It was so entertaining. Tre was climbing on top of the speakers, Mike was being crazy, and Billie was just goofing off. Putting clothes on from the crowd, making them say things, just being a funny guy. We waited in the pouring rain where guys were gonna come out. Finally they opened the doors and I could see Mike standing in the door. Holy shit, I gotta get in! They're most likely all in there. So I walked up to the steps and the security guard told me I needed an ID to get in there. I guess I had to be 21 or something stupid like that. I said okay and hid behind the doors. Then it was like how it was meant to be. There's nobody here! Of course I walked in. I saw Mike being hounded by people so I was gonna wait to get his autograph. Then Tre walked by me. He wasn't really paying attention but he signed the poster I ripped off the wall. I love him. Then I tugged on Mike's jacket and asked him to sign. I was so shoked or else. I would've tried to have a conversation with him, but the only word I could say was, 'Thanks.' Then I turned around and Billie was right here! I called his name. And he turned around and said, 'Hey, how's it going?' I just stared at him. I couldn't believe my eyes! I was gonna ask him for a hug. The words almost came out of my mouth but then I realized I was speechless and paralyzed. So I ijust threw my arms around him! He smiled and signed my poster. He knew I couldn't speak because he did it with out me asking. I was stutering, trying to say something! I had been wanting to say so much to him for so long, my brain just got all scrambled and nothing came out of my mouth. Billie was trying to understand me but I just couldn't talk." |

Rick Savage: "As with the show in LA, Whip It was played right before Green Day came on. Billie, Mike, and Tre ran onto the stage. Everyone went wild. Then with no intro, Billie starts with, 'Here we go again,' then Mike and Tre join in. After like the third song, some prick in the audience started throwing shit at Mike. Mike warned him by stating, 'If you throw anything else, I'm going to beat your fucking ass.' Well, after the next song, Mike jumped into the crowd to do just that, beat that kid's ass. Guess who it was? It was Mark Hoppus from the band Blink-182. (What a dick!) Anyway, they played just about everything I could have asked for (save for Eye Of The Tiger). They even brought a kid up on stage to play Knowledge with them. Billie is hilarious. He made fun of Bush, Matchbox 20, and especially Marilyn Manson. He even sang The Beautiful People over the bass line of Longview. At the end of the show, as always, Mike and Tre trashed the stage while Billie played around with his guitar playing some nasty-ass chords. Then he closed with Good Riddance. I swear to God it brought tears to my eyes. It was the best show I ever seen." |

Dustin Rowdie: "D Generation was the opening band tonight at the first Green Day Palace show of three. D Generation looked like a mix between the Ramones and Sex Pistols with a little harder sound than Green Day. After the 20-30 minute set of D Generation Green Day's road crew started setting up. The first song they played was Going to Pasalacqua, when Billie hit the first note of the song everyone went crazy. After Welcome to Paradise Billie made the comment that he remembers the Dookie tour in Los Angeles. During Paper Lanterns Billie told everyone to throw their shirts on stage after he put them all on he started running around the stage when he got hit in the balls with a shoe. He found out who it was and the guy said, 'Oh, well.' Then Billie said, 'Oh, well! OK! After the show I fuck you in the ass, oh well, I'm fucking you up the ass!' They left came back for the encore. Tre and Mike started smashing up the drum set while Billie started pulling the strings off his guitar making a chainsaw noise." |

Pop Punk Radio: "'Here we go again...' Green Day kicked off their set with Going To Pasalacqua and quickly followed with Welcome To Paradise and Geek Stink Breath. I was about 16 years old and in the midst of my first concert that didn't include seating. So I was a little surprised when the music started and the crowd got moving around and smashing each other. However, I was young and quick to acclimate myself to the mayhem. Green Day was touring to support their most recent release which was Nimrod and played a block of songs from the album including Nice Guys Finish Last, Hitchin' A Ride and The Grouch. Following with a block of earlier hits including Chump/Longview, 2,000 Light Years Away and Brain Stew/Jaded. I would also experience the joys of crowdsurfing for the first time. My buddy Andy and I both wanted to try but didn't know what to do. After building up enough nerve, I tapped an older (and bigger) dude on the shoulder and started pointing up. I learned that this is exactly what you are supposed to do as the guy knew exactly what I wanted and put his hands down for me. I stepped into his hands while grabbing the shoulders of others around me and before I knew it, they were all hoisting me in the air. I was fairly young at the time so I didn't weigh much and have never spent so much time up in the air at a concert. I remember rolling all over the heads and hands of people, backwards, forwards and sideways for the length of entire songs. I probably also kicked quite a few people in the face during the process. I would later grow to hate crowd-surfers for this same reason but at the time, it was a lot of fun to be 'that guy.' Older generations like to complain when things change and brag about how much tougher or better those things were in their day. My version of this is that I get to brag to younger generations about being able to see Green Day perform the Operation Ivy song Knowledge before they started inviting kids up on stage to play the instruments. I'll admit that the gag was pretty damn cool when they first started doing it but 10+ years later it started to make the shows drag. Who cares if some kids had an amazing and possibly life-altering experience, I want to hear Basket Case already! (Haha, I'm kidding, sorta.) Encore: During the encore, Green Day performed Scattered, Prosthetic Head and When I Come Around before Tre and Mike began destroying the drumkit while Billie played in the corner with his guitar creating a bunch of feedback noise. After the drums were sufficiently destroyed, Mike and Tre walked off the stage while Billie played Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life). It was the second of three nights in a row that Green Day were performing at The Palace. The set-lists didn't change much for each show but the third night did include a special moment during the performance of Paper Lanterns when Billie Joe gets hit in the nuts with a shoe while putting on clothes that had been thrown on stage by the audience." |

Dustin Rowdie: "Billie was taking requests for metal songs. He played a little of . He then asked if anyone wanted to hear Bush. Everyone started booing and cussing at him. He said that he could play it really well, then he went into Rape Me by Nirvana. It was pretty funny. Same set list, some guy played Knowledge - no big surprise. In case you are one of those curious tell-me-everything types: Billie had black hair, black Dickies and a black polo shirt with a tiger on the back, Mike had black hair, a sleeveless maroon shirt and Tre had green hair and a Nimrod shirt."
Eric Norris: "Halfway through their super-tight fun-filled punk rockin' set they started playing the beginning of Operation Ivy's Knowledge. Billie Joe asked if anyone in the crowd knew how to play guitar and everyone around me was like, 'Me, me, me!' Billie Joe noticed me right away, I believe, because I was wearing a white Green Day Kerplunk! shirt amongst mostly black shirts, and he walked over to me. I was about three people from the front row, and Billie said, 'Hey, I talked to you last night, do you know how to play guitar?' And I said, 'Yeah!' And he replied by asking me, 'How long have you been playing for?' At the time, I had only been playing for two years, but I unrelentingly said, 'Three years.' Billie said, 'OK.' He hesitated, then walked over to the other side of the stage and kept asking if someone could play. I freaked. I was like, 'No way!' I was so close! My heart sank. The next thing I know Billie walks back over as if he was leading me on the whole time, and says, 'You promise you know how to play guitar?' I said, 'Yes!' Then he said, 'OK, if you don't know how to play, everyone here is going to kick your ass!' I said, 'Bring it on.' As if I had so much confidence for only playing for 2 years. Then Billie was like, 'Well, come on up.' I made my way to the barricade where this huge bouncer grabbed me and lifted me up on stage! While this was happening my shoe came off in the process of me getting yanked up to the stage. I thought to myself, oh screw it. I'm on stage with Green Day! So the first thing Billie says to me when I get up there is, 'You promise you really know how to play guitar?' And I said, 'Yes, just show me what key it's in.' (I had played this song maybe only about a handful of times before, it was only three chords.) So Billie puts his guitar, that he nicknamed Blue. The same guitar he started playing when he was 11, the same guitar that I've seen on MTV and live concert footage, and puts Blue over my head and onto me. Right then the crowd started going nuts which made me freak out a bit and also made me realize what was going on, it hit me. I'm on stage with Green Day about to play a song with them. Holy crap! I've got Billie Joe's freaking guitar on! He is the sole reason I learned and started playing guitar and writing music in the first place, and I had on 'my idol's' most iconic tool and probably one of his most sentimental possessions that catapulted him to all of his success, now on my shoulders! The second I heard that crowd, I got really nervous but knew I had to stick to the plan that I was set to do. Billie gave me his pick that he was using and showed me what key the song was in. While that was happening Mike and Tre were playing Knowledge in the background, then I joined in with them. I was so flipping out of my skull excited and nervous. I walked over to Billie's mic and was about to sing the words but right as I was making my way he got to the mic first and started singing, so I subconsciously made my way to the dead center edge of the stage and somewhat confidently did my thing, mouthing the words to Knowledge along with Billie to a sold out Hollywood Palace crowd of about 1,300 people! I could not even fathom this experience even though it was happening right in front of me, to me! Then at the end of the song I remember looking back at Tre and jumping up and landing while hitting the last note of the song. I kind of biffed the last note though, then recovered a little late, oh well. That was good enough for me! The crowd cheered which was cool and I gave Billie his guitar back ... unfortunately. I told him that I was keeping his guitar pick, and he said, 'Of course.' I didn't want to leave the stage, so I stalled by mentioning to Billie that I lost my shoe while getting up to the stage so he asked the crowd, 'Does anyone have Eric's shoe?' A couple shoes got thrown onto the stage but weren't mine, I attempted to put one on as a joke but the shoe was too small. So after that he said, 'Alright, stagedive time!' So I walked all the way back to Tre's drum riser, Tre started the drum roll, and I started running full speed, jumped into the hands of the crowd, and Green Day immediately started into their next song, She. That was my 15 minutes of fame. I got patted on the back by the people that were around me. The last person that patted me on the back, I turned around and this guy was like, 'Is this your shoe?' Sure enough it was my freakin' shoe, I was like, 'Thanks, bro!' I was amazed, all I could do was laugh. This whole experience kind of didn't hit me till I had people coming up to me saying, 'Wow, you rock! You know Green Day?' I was like, 'No, I just got lucky!' After the show when we were leaving to our car, a group of girls took pictures with me and wanted my autograph. I thought it was silly that they wanted an autograph and totally denied them. I guess I was being too punk rock." |

Kerrang: "2,000 assholes and Billie Joe's mom."
Stephen Forbes: "This happened at the Filmore in SF in '97. The story is, this guy with a green mohawk (typical gutter punk) that hated Green Day came with his girlfriend (also a gutter punk with green mohawk) who loved Green Day. The guy was spitting on people and pushing and hitting people in the crowd and generally just being a total dick. The best part of the story is that after Billie jumped in the crowd he accidentally punched the girl instead of the guy. The girl ended up getting free tickets to the remaining two or three shows they were doing at the Filmore. Yes, I was there. It was crazy, I couldn't see what happened after Billie jumped into the crowd, but there was a write up in a local paper about how he punched the girl and how he felt bad and gave her free tickets to the remaining shows. I thought it was so cool that Billie went after that guy though. He really deserved it! Maybe the girl too for bringing that jerk."
Laura: "The signal to everyone that Green Day was coming on was the song Whip It. Everyone started to pogo and scream. Mike didn't use his G-3, though some say it was stashed away behind an amp. Billie Joe introduced his mom by shining a flashlight on her and telling the crowd to say, 'Hello, Mrs. Armstrong!' After a few minutes of babble about how drunk they were and how good they felt to be home, Billie Joe's expression changed. Suddenly, he yelled out, 'You wanna fight?! Come up here! Come on! You little mohawk motherfucker!' And with that, he jumped into the crowd to fight the dude. The two guys had to be dragged apart. Mike stood there looking surprsied. He offered this in Billie's defense, 'Go back to your mama, bitch!' Billie Joe came back onstage looking pissed. Ironically, the song they played after the fight was Nice Guys Finish Last. They played the favorites from Dookie and Kerplunk, and a Pinhead Gunpowder cover of a Joni Mitchell song. As well as the best from Nimrod and Geek Stink Breath from Insomniac, blah blah blah. The moshing was wild shit, man. Tre kept doing stuff to rile up the crowd. All three guys seemed ready to take on anything that came their way. (Shoes, fists from little dickheaded moshers, etc.) When it came time to play Knowledge, of course they wanted to choose someone from the crowd to play guitar, but beforehand, Billie laid out a whole long speech about Jesse Michaels. Since Marisa and I were right below Billie's view, we yelled at him to let her come onstage. BUT NO. We knew he wouldn't let her though she'd hoped. A photographer in front of Marisa who happened to be a friend of Billie's, climbed onto the crowd barrier the same time as Marisa. Billie saw her and said, 'Not you!' She totally looked like she was gonna cry, so I hugged her. The guy was so obnoxious about being onstage, playing Blue. Towards the end, Billie Joe started spraying water on people. They trashed the stage after being up there two hours. Billie Joe was laying there like a mental patient, letting harsh feedback reverberate from his guitar while the drums lay smashed with Mike's new Fender bass inside."
Superdookie: "Craziest show of my life. As is documented on the bootleg, Billie jumped in to the audience to stop some "mohawk motherfucker" from beating people up in the pit. I ended right next to Billie. A couple of songs later, Billie gave his mother a shout out. She was apparently in one of the boxes in the balcony. He apologized for getting in to a fight and pleaded not to put him "on report" or something. Billie was quite drunk. Billie did a funny half-hearted cover of Sugar Ray's "Fly" changing the lyrics to "I just want to fuck. Wrap your legs around me baby. Wrap your legs around me baby." They took requests at some point and Billie made some comment about how the crowd probably wanted them to play the Smashing Pumpkins. He also bemoaned the disappearance of Jesse Michaels and (kinda) dissed Rancid ("Psah! Whatever!"). Someone threw a cup or something on stage during "Prosthetic Head". Almost on cue, Billie looked the person right in the eye and sang the line, "You're pathetic!". I was hanging out near the backstage exit after the show and asked some guy who was exiting if I could borrow his backstage pass. For reasons I will never understand, he gave it to me, only asking that I give it back to him after I came out (I guess he hung around outside while I was there). So I went backstage. Tre had a couple of groupies hanging off him but I shot the shit with him a bit. I had long hair at the time and he made fun of it. I asked him to sign the back of my shirt and he wrote "Kick Me". I also asked him about a story he'd told on KROQ about riding a unicycle, falling off, and losing one of his testicles (which, Mike quipped, now made him a "eunuch-cyclist"). Having seemingly forgotten that he'd recounted the story to the audience of LA's biggest rock station, he looked at me quizzically and asked me how I knew about that. Mike was cool. I asked him about the collaboration they'd done with Bone Thugs n' Harmony and why it wouldn't be released (I asked him if it sucked). He said that it didn't suck but wasn't sure why they couldn't release it. I didn't really get a chance to talk to Billie as he was surrounded by industry types. After a while I got frustrated and just butted in, thanking him for writing music that had got me through a lot of shit. He seemed to really appreciate that and thanked me for letting him know. On the way out, I gave the guy back his backstage pass. I really could not believe the next day that all of that had actually happened." |

Architect Of Sound: "California punk rockers Green Day rolled into town in 1998 off the "Nimrod" tour, Billie Joe Armstrong sporting a menacing bleached blonde hairstyle, spitting on stage and hurling verbal abuse at the crowd. I can't think of any better way than spending your teenage years by going to a punk concert with your friends."
Belfast Newsletter: "At Green Day's 1998 Ulster Hall show, the trio thanked the Belfast Gig Collective from the stage and gave a shout-out to anyone who had been at the Richardson's gig. Considerably more than 100 people raised their hands."
Nicky: "This is a review of the Green Day show at the Ulster Hall in Belfast in Northern Ireland (Northern Ireland is part of the UK and is a different country from Ireland. Don't get them confused as the same country cause that really pisses me off lots!) The show was on Tuesday the 20th of January 1998 and doors opened at 7.15 . I was with 3 of my friends Chris, Paul and Ken. We started queuing at about 6.15 and there were quite a few people there already. We skipped the queue and met up with more people we knew. A few of the lucky bastards we knew had been round the back door of the hall and had met Tre who gave them free shirts and backstage passes. The doors opened early and when we got in we had a few drinks from the bar and then went up a few people behind the front of the stage to wait for D-Generation to come on. By the time they came on the place was totally packed and everyone near the front started moshing when D-Generation played. They were all right but after a while I got bored went over to the side to wait for Green Day to come on. When D-Generation finished I went back up to the front and met up with my friends again. When the D-Generation banner came down which was covering the Green Day banner everyone started cheering and soon after Green Day came on the stage. The crowd at the front went mad and started shoving like fuck. When they came on they didn't say a word and went straight in to Welcome To Paradise. It sounded class and loads of the crowd sang along. After the first song Billie said "People asked me where did I wanna play and I said I wanna play in Belfast cause I haven't been there in a long fuckin time. I'm no bullshitter, we haven't been to Belfast for 7 years so this is the first date of our European Tour." He also said the first thing he did when he got here was throwing up after getting drunk. He then put a tie on which someone had thrown on-stage. For anyone who cares (which isn't likely) they played all of these songs: Welcome to Paradise, Geek Stink Breath, Walking Contradiction, Longview, Chump, 2000 light years away, Fuck Off And Die, Basket case, When I come around, Paper Lanterns, Knowledge, Nice Guys Finish Last, Hitchin A Ride, The Grouch, All The Time, Scattered, She, Brainstew/Jaded, Prosthetic Head and lastly Good Riddance. In between Knowledge Billie started asking the crowd who could play the guitar. The first guy who tried to play it was seriously shit so he got one more guy to come up to play Blue and told him if he couldn't play then everyone would kick his ass. The guy was quite good and they then got him to do a stage dive while Tre did a drum roll. The guy was quite big and stage dived right around where I was standing. Billie did other stuff like getting the crowd to sing along to stuff like "The Beautiful People " at the start of Longview and in between one song he asked for everybody to give him some clothes. Loads of people threw some clothes on the stage and Billie put them all on. He talked loads of crap to the crowd all night. Billie was throwing bottled water all over the crowd the whole time and near the end Billie, Mike and Tre then started spraying beer all over the crowd. I got covered in beer (everyone at the front did) and the guy beside me had beer in his eyes. It was pretty funny cause he was nearly ready to cry as he wiped his eyes. Before the last song Tre trashed the drums and he and Mike left the stage while Billie just screwed about with his guitar against the amp. He then played Good Riddance and everyone who knew it sang along. He then left the stage as well surprisingly enough. The concert was just the same as most of the other reviews I read but it did kick ass!"
Hugon: "Being a huge Green Day fan I was naturally excited to be going to see my favourite band and queued for over an hour before the doors opened in order to get a spot at the front near my heroes. Being glad to be let in out of the cold night outside, I took my place at the barrier and waited for the support act, D Generation to come on. They weren't anything special, but they where alright, something to jump around to and get ready for what was ahead. After half an hour D Generation finished with a song that I actually had heard before (it was in a film I seen once). The roadies came on and begun to bring on Green Day's kit. As the D Generation banner dropped down and we saw Green Day's banner it brought up a huge cheer.
After another half-hour Green Day came on stage to a huge Belfast welcome. Billie Joe had dyed blond hair, Mike had short hair and Tre was wearing a Nimrod T-shirt and shorts. Billie Joe stood on a flight case and lapped up the applause. They launched into the opening song and the moshpit went wild, jumping all over the place and the crowd-surfers started. This would be a good place to put in the setlist. After the first song, I had been knocked over and trampled a few times, so I went back a bit to get a bit of space to jumpa round in. Being further away from the band didn't hinder my enjoyment as I had more room to flail around and enjoy myself! Billie Joe was on top form. He requested clothes from the audience, and people threw clothes up on stage and he put them on, ending up with three or four layers of clothes. His best quote was 'We were here last at a gay festival five years ago, and I can see quite a few of you have come back again.' The intensity the band played with was fanatstic. They ripped through the songs, with a certain aggression it is only possible to obtain live. The highlight was probably them getting someone up on stage to help out with 'Knowledge'. I met the guy at the end and congratulated him. I was so jealous, he got to meet the band!
They played loads of my favourite songs, Bille was in top form and telling jokes and being funny all night.
It was a gig I wished would never end. I was tired, sweating and gasping for a drink, but I didn't go get one as I didn't want to miss anything. I came out with ringing ears and no voice left but I was really happy. I can't wait until I see Green Day again." |

Total Music: "It was a restless crowd who chanted 'You fat bastard!' to the roadie tuning up the instruments before the concert had begun. D Generation stormed onto stage (late, admittedly), giving their all. The crowd jumped, screamed, and shouted. But this wasn't what they were there for. A restless fifteen minutes followed the departure of the support band. The tension was building. Finally, as Billie Joe, Mike, and Tre ran onstage, the crowd were happy. Happy, in a violent, deafening way, but happy. A quick hello by Billie Joe led into Welcome To Paradise, allowing the crowd a chance to have a long awaited sing and jump a long. The other classic live tracks soon followed, together with new tracks such as Nice Guys Finish Last, The Grouch and Prosthetic Head. The band were their usual crazy selves, spraying a variety of fluids into the audience, swearing, offending and pouting. Billie Joe invited an audience member out to play Knowledge, sending the crowd even more wild. At the end, Mike and Tre trashed their instruments, and the entire right handside of the stage, leaving Billie Joe to numb the crowd with his guitar feedback. Ten minutes of this had the crowd dizzy with the noise, but then he stepped forward and proceeded to play Good Riddance solo. A greatend to a great concert. I'll certainly be returning to see them again."
Herald Scotland: "My idea of perfection is simplicity and efficiency combining in beauty. The simple rose, the simple bacon sandwich, and, of course, the holy trinity of guitar, bass and drums.
This is the absolute minimum required to play rock 'n' roll of any kind: addition to this is needless embellishment. Which is part of the reason I am going nuts at the moment, pogoing like a maniac to the live sound of Green Day. My fellow gig-goers and I are being treated to near punk perfection as the American three piece batter us senseless. The music is melodious, intelligent, and uplifting yet played so loud and with such vigour that the end result is so stupifyingly overwhelming it's hard to catch your breath. Luckily the chaos abates from time to time as the singer does his stand-up routine. During the evening he wears any and all clothes thrown to him, dresses included, he leads chants, he ridicules the band Bush, and at one point pulls a volunteer from the crowd to play guitar. His staring enthusiasm is infectious enough to drive away the niggling doubt that I'm watching Jimmy Krankie, school uniform and all. There is a bit too much stadium rock nonsense for me but I suppose Barrowland is the smallest venue Green Day have played in years and nobody else seemed to mind. Anyway the music is good enough to smooth away any rough edges in the edges. The holy trinity proves its supremacy yet again." |

Mark Stone: "The day finally arrived and me, Chalky, Ali and co. had made our way into deepest darkest Brixton for what was bound to be the highlight of our lives. After waiting for 2 hours in the cold, only keeping warm because these stupid twats kept lighting huge fires where everyone was cueing, the doors finally opened. Our tickets were torn and we walked to the doors of the main crowd pit. The man on the door told us our tickets were for the upstairs circle and that ‘we shouldn’t have booked through Ticketmaster’. So we walked upstairs, through the doors and found the nearest seats to the front of the balcony, still a mile away from the action, I was so pissed off. After listening to some shit they were playing over the speakers to keep us happy (?) I decided to make the most of it and get a beer. Chalky and I went outside and talked about a plan to get to the moshpit. The plan was set, at the end of the second song by the support group D Generation we would try to pass by the security. We took our seats again and D Generation took to the stage, um, well they did pretty well considering they weren’t actually that good. At the end of the second song me and Chalky went downstairs and told the security that he tore our tickets on the way in and didn’t give us the other end back, he apologised and let us in. By the time D Generation had finished Chalky and me were at the front, ready for Green Day. Fifteen minutes later they arrived onstage and my ribs collapsed with the pressure, it rocked. First came Welcome To Paradise, and everyone knew the words to that! They played all the songs I wanted them to, Paper Lanterns and Knowledge from the first album, 2,000 Light Years Away from Kerplunk and almost all of Dookie and Nimrod. The bits that I enjoyed most were the talking inbetween the songs. Billie Joe introduced us to his mum. He then brought out a Tickle Me Elmo that he made clap along with the song. He sang some of The Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson at the start of Longview. Billie Joe also said he'd changed the group and now they were called Bush! he asked if we wanted to hear some Bush and then played Rape Me by Nirvana! The kids with the Bush T-shirts went really red and shut up for the rest of the night, yay! Thousands of bottles of water were thrown over the crowd and Billie pretended to masturbate with one! Tre decided to hit his drums with as many sticks as possible and Mike thumped his bass with a drumstick too! Some kid was brought up on stage to play, and then had to jump off the stage into the awaiting moshpit. Unlike usual moshpits there were few real fights, and everyone seemed to have a great time. At the end of the show they played When I Come Around, Tre jumped off the top of the amp stack, Mike kicked shit into the drumkit, ripped all of the strings off his bass and threw it in the air twice, the last one hitting the smashed up drums Billie sat down next to an amp and played with the feedback for ages and then got another guitar, Blue, to play Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) which was amazing." |

"Adam, Andrew, Alex Vinnie and I jumped off the train, followed the crowd as we didn't really know the way to the Academy; this was a real rough place in London, and a couple of years back, it was totally rebuilt after these real bad riots. Anyway, we turned the corner, and found a real huge line, although it only took about ten minutes to get in. Whilst waiting in the queue, tens of ticket touts tramped around buying and selling tickets. Vinnie and I found this stash of beer, it was some touts, and we downed it quik. Inside, security were taking everything:wallets, chains, rings, necklaces, loads of crap. We walked to the end of the hall, where i bought a nimrod t-shirt (the one with the funny little bloke with a hammer), and one of those short sleeved shirts. We were then separated, as Adam and I bought our tickets late, but those got to go into the mosh pit (wankers). Adam and I found some seats next to some fit babes, and sat back, and waited for D-Generation
to come on. Then these real old guys came on, and one started playing on the bass; he was really old and fat, and we all thought that was the band. But we were releaved when they actually came on. The fat guy must have been a tuner or something. When they came on, we were all kinda excited, and downstairs, some people were pogoing, but D-Generation weren't really too entertaining. They left after about seven or eight songs. Then the Green Day banner came down, and the crowd went mad. Five minutes later, the lights started to flash, and Tre came on stage and did that little balancing stance on top of an amp. Mike and Billie followed shortly, and the crowd erupted. He opened with, erm, I can't remember, but the mosh pit went carzy. This guy called luke came up for knowledge, and he
was fucking great. He played back toback with mike, and like even did this cool little solo. At the end of the song, Billy told him to stand in this spot, and then started to chant jump,jump,jump, and after about five seconds, the guy dived into the crowd. In between quite a few songs, Billy sprayed the fans with water, but
mike did nothing. After the grouch, tre stood on an amp, and did the balance angel thing again. When they played when i come around, upstairs, everyone erupted. We weren't allowed to stand up there, but everyone did, and the stewards couldn't do shit. heh heh. Mike and tre smashed up the drums, and knocked over some other stuff, awhilst billie lay on the ground, with this real harsh feedback reverberating from left to right. Then he played Good riddance, and that was it. Afterwards, all these girls were crying, coz they coudn't find their shoes in the mosh pit, but we raided the store, and stole a box of ice-cream, which was petty, but fun." |

Cédric Rizzo: "Elysée Montmartre 1998, my first and only stagedive and a small football game with the band before the show."
Philou: "Green Day arrived. We shook hands with Billie Joe who wasn't very talkative during this period, but we exchanged a few words. Then we spoke to Mike, who was more talkative. Then came Tré, reeking of weed. He had difficulty climbing up the stairs while carrying a football (very athletic). The security opened the doors and lets us in. Here comes GREEN DAY! Welcome To Paradise was like an explosion. Of course they played a lot of other songs but I forgot a large portion of the set. That was a poweful and loud show. Billie Joe chose me to get up on stage to play guitar for Knowledge. I tried to climb the barrier, but the fucking security guy shoved into a wall. Billie Joe winked at me. The shows ended with Time Of Your Life played by Billie on his Strat. And it was finished! Fucking awesome show!" |

Robert Borjesson: "The sad with Green Day in 1998 is that they sometimes feel more like the fake than as real rock'n'roll. More gleam in the eye than sweat. Green Day were about to take themselves on a little bigger level."
Peter: "It was my first real concert. I haven't been to a concert that tops that one yet, and I've been to a lot. Klubben is a quite small venue in Stockholm, Sweden which gives you that closeness to the band. Although, me and my friends, being 11 year olds and short, took place at the venue's balcony to get a good view. From the first song all the way to the end, the crowd was crazy, with loads of crowdsurfing and singalongs. As usual, they picked a fan during Knowledge to play guitar. During Hitchin' A Ride Billie Joe encouraged the fans to give him their clothes, so he could wear them, and everyone would throw their hats and shirts up on stage. In the end, they all trashed the stage with all the speakers and the drumkit."
Expressen: "A lot can happen in two years in the music world. The last time American punk punks Green Day has visited Sweden, they sold out the Ice Stadium in Stockholm - Dookie was huge. Last night, and two flopped albums later, the venue was considerably smalled, and the audience consisted of the most dedicated fans only. But Berkley trio still looks very happy with the situation. Gone are the big gestures from the arena gigs - still an incredible amount of energy. Above all it is relaxed. A playful mixed hit parade of the trio's overall punkpoppärlor interspersed with twenty-second cover versions of everything from Survivors Rocky theme Eye of the Tiger to Joni Mitchell and now also Janet Jackson's Big Yellow Taxi. All self-signed divers frontman Billie Joe Armstrong. For certain look bassist Mike Dirnt tough out in his red has. And it is fun to grönhĺrige Tre Cool juggles with his drumsticks. But it's still Armstrong in the sprawling Sonic the Hedgehog hairstyle that is constantly trying to keep an eye on. It's his cocky song, crazy look and explosive guitar chords that allows the trio to something extraordinary."
Caroline: "We got in the queue. It was cold... Really cold! I almost got the urge to go home. It felt like my feet were about to fall off. There were quite a lot of dumb bimbos there. We were puzzled what they were doing there. They looked like they were listening to Peter Andre and Puff Daddy. We waited and waited. There were lots of people. Eventually, twenty past seven, they opened the doors. Some began to shout that Green Day were in there. Helena stood up on edge and confirmed it was him. Sofie and Mike agreed. And when we had come in and hung in the jackets, we went up to the Tre! Nobody seemed to notice him. So we said, 'Hello!' And he said, 'Hi!' Helena asked if he wanted to sign a sweater, but he said, 'Nah...' He gave us two huge Nimrod stickers. Then we ran into the club. We wanted to buy shirts but forgot the money in the jacket. It was very cozy there, with balconies around the stage."
"I came to the club a few minutes after 18:00. The line felt quite long, but it quickly grew and in the end I realized that I was in the front. Talked with two brothers from Småland, one of them had seen GD twice. Then he said that he had not bought Nimrod yet. After a long while as the doors opened, when I after a while could glimpse through the doors, I saw a guy that I've seen before, he had green spiky hair and black leather jacket... Tré Cool! He stood quietly and chatted with everyone. How cool it is! I turned my jacket in and was just about to ask for an autograph when he suddenly walked away! Shit, I thought, and went about my business, luckily he just went where they sold GD stuff. I immediately bought a T-shirt with a guy on the front and Nimrod logo on the back and a Green Day baseball cap. Then I asked Tré for an autograph on my ticket. I asked for a bigger autograph and he got a little pissed. Okay... I walked away. I stood in the very front. Finally, D-Generation came out. It went to listen to them anyway. It was, after all, very sweaty to stand there and jump. I thought that GD had not started yet. It was really hot! After they were done, you had to wait a while. but in the end they turned on the lights and the crowd started screaming like crazy. And then came the men I have been waiting to see for over 3 years! After the song Billie Joe asked us what song we wanted to hear. The crowd started shouting lot of different things that I could not quite hear. I shouted Longview at the top of my lungs. Billie played Chump. Yes! I was so happy! Another thing that I remember was that when I stood at the front of the stage, I was about to pass out. I said to the one guard so he could pry me before it was too late, that I felt woozy. I walked around somewhere. I sat on the toilet floor. Shit! I thought at the time I heard F.O.D. playing ... I had to go out again! I walked up to the water and drank surely a liter of water before so I felt okay again. As usual, someone received a play on Billie's guitar, he played pretty indeed. The conclusion was downright grymm! first hit three somersaulted over trumsettet then cast around it and jump on it. Meanwhile Mike knocked down two large speakers that could not have been cheap, then he took his bass and threw up in the air and then turned down on the ground. When the scene looked like a battlefield, and Tré and Mike went out Billie slid softly, took out the Blue and played a good electric version of Good Riddance. Another funny thing was that I was at the end got hold of Mike's one earplug which he tossed out (after knocking over the speakers and throwing around his bass). But being dumb as I am, I just threw them out! The concert was absolutely wonderful! Time of my life!"
Helena: "Now I've really been to a Green Day concert! I, Caroline, Sophie and Michael arrived there around 6 o'clock. There were a little over twenty people in front of us in line. So we stood there. It was cold outside. Oh shit huh cold it was !! Oh they never opened so we had to get into. Time was 7 (when it was started), L fortf they had not started to drop in. Then, a guy with a lot of lanyards came out, passing 'orders from Gren Day.' He was really funny. So we went inside. The place was tiny. There was a corner where they sold T-shirts. Then there was a small scene. There was a balcony going around the scene as well. Anyway, it's hard to explain. But people who were there already know that. Well... There was a snack bar across the stage. Then we just hung out at the venue. Finally, the show has started. D Generation were pretty weird. They were kinda old. But their music was OK! I think we heard their song before... I think it was called "She Stands There". That's right. D Generation finished their set and music started playing over the PA. It was cool! Maybe that was Green Day's idea. We got up to the balcony and got mashed against the handrail. We stood on Mike's side and saw Green Day members hanging around. We thought it wouldn't take too long for Green Day to set up the stage, but we were wrong. It took them almost 40 minutes. They played lots of Ramones songs over the PA. They replaced the drum set, set up Billie's and Mike's cabinets and amps. The guy who brought Blue out looked like he was trying too hard to be cool. Hehe... Lights came on. Everyone screamed. And they came up on the stage. We screamed! They started with Going To Pasalacqua. Then they played Welcome To Paradise. Inbetween songs, Billie climbed on speakers and made funny faces. He was stretching out his hands screaming, 'Hey-oooh!' He also had two other guitars. Weird... Tre looked crazy and clownish. Mike had short red hair, and looked really cool. We jumped like crazy and screamed. It was unbelievable. Billie wasn't as bold as he was onstage. Billie played some intros of metal songs. He proclaimed himself 'the king of black metal'. He played Eye Of The Tiger. Then he introduced Mike. I think he said he was Mel Gibson and something about Barbara Bush. Then Billie asked us if we wanted to hear some bullshit, then he played "Rape Me". At least I think so... He whisperd, "The beautiful people, the beautiful people," into the microphone. He took off his shoes and made a weird face, super-soaked the audience. During "Knowledge", Billie pulled up a guy onstage and made play the song on his Blue! Then Billie made us throw our shirts onstage. He put on a lot of them. It was really hot in the club, everything was sweaty. Finally, they announced it was their last song. We were shouting their band name and they did an encore. They played F.O.D. It was delightful. Then came Scattered and Prosthetic Head. I don't really remember though. Then Green Day started breaking their instruments. Billie poured water on us again. Mike made a huge hole in Tre's drums with his bass. Finally, Mike and Tre left Billie standing on the edge of the stage singing "Good Riddance". I was hoping he would finish the song. The concert was over." |

François Bonzon: "Why did everyone say it was such a fabulous evening? Easy! 'Cause Green Day was playing. Lots of teenagers with green hair were already queued up to the entrance. A sign over a concert poster read the show was sold out. About 1,500 people attended the show. D Generation was supposed to play first, but they cancelled. A local band, whose name I can't remember, shows up. They were so bad. They played for about twenty minutes. At 9:15 pm Green Day enters the stage. Tre Cool took his place behind the drumkit, Mike Dirnt and Billie Joe Armstrong stepped to their microphones and broke into Going to Pasalacqua, Welcome to Paradise and Geek Stink Breath without a break. Billie made funny faces to the photographers that tried to take a photo of him. He also kept doing these strange poses. Mike switched the bass and Billie switched the guitar - one of many copies of Blue with red BJ intials and two stickers on it. 'This is a brand new song. The song's called Nice Guys Finish Last,' says Billie. The crowd was very enthused. Billie also brought out a Tickle Me Elmo doll made its hands clap to the beat. Everyone followed. They played the great 2,000 Light Years Away. Halfway through the song Billie went backstage, then snuck up on Tre - we didn't really understand what was going on at that point - and emptied a bottle of water on him. Tre Cool kept playing. 'Do you like heavy metal?' The crowd cheered. Billie started singing, 'The beautiful people... The beautiful people,' and acting like Marilyn Manson. 'We're gonna play heavy metal songs for the rest of the evening. OK, we're just kidding.' They went into their old hits Chump / Longview, with such vigor. Then they play Brain Stew / Jaded. Billie did his famous spitting trick. He spat high in the air but didn't catch it in his mouth. Mike threw picks into the crowd. Tre Cool kept throwing a copious amount of drumsticks away! The band began playing Knowledge. Billie says, 'Hm... Does anyone know how to play the guitar? Come up and play here right now. You? You don't know how to play! You? How many years have you been playing? (The guy shows five fingers.) Come up here!' They ended the song with that guy playing the guitar. As always, they urged him to stagedive. Billie played the opening chords of Basket Case and then let the crowd sing. That was the moment everyone had been waiting for! After they play She, Billie Joe put this hideous mask on and began playing F.O.D. He then throws the mask away. They continue with Paper Lanterns, and then tease some songs, like Eye of the Tiger. Billie says, 'Thanks for coming tonight. We're gonna come back here in a few months. Bye,' and went backstage. After a while when Billie Joe came back onstage, ready to play, a group on the front row sang, 'Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you Billie Joe!' The rest of the crowd followed. Billie smiled and said, 'Thank you very much. I'm sixteen years old today.' He probably dreamed about being the same age as those front row groupies. The band finished the show with Scattered, Prosthetic Head and When I Come Around. Then the trio set about to destroy the whole stage. Tre couldn't leave a cymbal or a tom in its original shape. Mike offered special refreshments by spraying Feldschlossen beer all over the crowd. Tre Cool climbed on the amps and emptied Evian water on the crowd. Mike knocked the amp stack over and then smashed his bass. Billie Joe kneeled in front of amp stack, playing that heavily reverberating chord over and over. Billie came over and ended the show with electric solo number - Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life). 'It's something unpredictable, but in the end it's right. I hope you had the time of your life.' It sounded great! They played for about half an hour." |

mondosonoro.com: "It's Green Day's fourth tour in the country - in support of Nimrod, Californians' latest album - which was significantly less anticipated than its predcessor, Insomniac. In less than two years, Green Day was back to grace our stages and everyone seemed to have a huge craving for the band. That is surprising, considering that Billie Joe, Mike and Tre haven't changed a bit, which also meant that their repertoire was good as usual - a mix of older classics (2,000 Light Years Away, Welcome To Paradise, Going To Pasalacqua, Basket Case, When I Come Around and Stuck With Me) and new songs (Nice Guys Finish Last, Hitchin' A Ride and The Grouch). They didn't forget to remind us that they still have a sense of humor - at expense of few Metallica licks, clever jab at The Beautiful People by Marilyn Manson and, of course, a tease of the Eye of the Tiger by Survivor. They even pulled a kid up on stage to play Operation Ivy's Knowledge. Green Day finished with Good Riddance - their hit acoustic ballad, after destroying the stage and getting a huge kick out of it, The Who-style. Green Day are in their best shape yet." |

Rowena Searle: "The first two bands came on after a while, and they were OK. One of them was The Mavis's and I didn't know the other band. A couple of times while we were waiting for someone to come on stage, the guys from Green Day poked their heads around the corner behind the stage, and everyone went crazy! Then, after ages of waiting, the lights turned down, and this huge white banner with Green Day written on it rolled down the back of the stage, and it was lit up by these bright green lights. Everyone screamed really loudly! Then they came on! They were awesome! It was like they lived on the stage! Billie Joe asked who knew how to play the guitar and a whole heap of people put their hands up (including me) and he picked someone and said, 'How long have you been playing the guitar?' The guy said, 'One year.' BJ said, 'Well, you know, if you get up here and fuck it up then everyone's gonna hate you, do you still wanna do it?' The guy said no! Then Billie picked someone else and he was really good. They got the guy to play some chords while Billie Joe ran around the stage and threw water on everyone and went crazy. Then BJ kissed the guy and sent him off the stage. Then later on, this bimbo girl crowd surfed her way up to the front, and BJ told her to come up on stage. He asked her her name, and she screamed it into the microphone and then he said to her, 'Right, you've done that, now get the fuck off the stage!' After that, someone in the crowd fainted or something and Billie Joe saw it and yelled out for the
first aid people to come and help him. Then they just suddenly said, 'Right, thanks for coming,' and left the stage. And everyone was screaming out, 'Green Day, Green Day, Green Day, Green Day!' They came back on wearing different clothes, and played a bit more, then Billie Joe started playing really loudly while Tre and Mike threw around the drum kit and bass guitar, and just bashed everything up! It was so crazy! But it was really awesome!" |

Second set is out of order
Steve Baltin: "On Friday (April 17), the band - singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool - taped a performance for MTV's Live from the 10 Spot at the Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco for contest winners, when Dirnt hit his nose with his bass during She, bloodying up his face and causing him to leave the stage. Armstrong then pulled Gavin Freitas from the band Debris onstage to play guitar while he played bass on Basket Case. Dirnt returned to the stage for two more songs - nose fully bleeding.
After the taping, the band played for an hour and 45 minutes for the 200 or so winners. The encore set included Cheap Trick's Surrender, the Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop, Chuck Berry's Johnny B. Goode, the Who's My Generation (with their producer Rob Cavallo on guitar), and Pansy Division's James Bondage with Pansy's bassist/ singer Chris Freeman. Freeman also joined the band onstage for the Ramones and Berry covers. MTV VP Lewis Largent joined the band onstage for My Generation."
Jay Glaze: "One day I was online and I saw that they were having a contest at greenday.com and they were giving away free tickets to Idiot Club members and all you had to do was talk about how much Green Day means to you. I wrote to them and Lisa (the president of Idiot Club) e-mailed me back and said that me and a friend could go to the show. I starting bouncing off my walls with joy. All I had to do was convince my parents to let me go. That took awhile. I thought to myself if they didn't let me go I'll just pull a Laurie L. Just kidding! I picked my friend Josh to go to the show with me, because he's always got cash and we caught a train in downtown San Diego and took a bus from Los Angeles to the San Francisco. We arrived in the city near Pier 39. I had the address, but with no directions on how to get from Pier 39 to Lisa. We had a bum walk us to Warner Bros. for a cigarette. That's where we met Lisa, she was cool. She was wearing black circle shades. She told us to come back at 5 and meet up with everyone else and then take the Nimrod bus to the club. She also said that she couldn't tell where the club was. At that time, it was a real mystery. Me and Josh went to McDonald's, played video games and then came back and jumped onto the bus. That's where we met all the Green Day Idiot Club members. It was cool, though. We listened to Green Day in the bus with all the fans on the way to the Bottom of the Hill. When we pulled into a street on the side of the club a girl ran by the side of the bus and ripped the Nimrod banner off. It was a friend of Gavin, the guy who later during the show plays "Disappearing Boy and Basket Case with Billie Joe. We got off the bus and headed to the club which had a huge MTV bus and a lot of security guards in front. They made me take off my studded belt and wallet chain. Bottom Of The Hill was perfect for a Green Day show. Looking around in a daze at all the neon banners on the side. It was a great place. So we made it to the left side of the stage only one person was in front of us. I had the camera on the side right in my face. The MTV DJ Toby came out and was doing takes for commercial stops. Green Day came running out like ragging lunatics. Billie had a Bud and his guitar in his hand and they went into Going to Pasalacqua. They played a set for MTV and during "She", Mike hit himself in the nose with his bass, I didn't see what happened, but I heard that. I was running around in the pit. After the MTV taped their set, Green Day played songs for all the fans that showed up and I thought that was coolest thing. What a great band Green Day is! They played B-sides like Desensitized and J.A.R. They played songs they didn't usually play on the Nimrod tour like All The Time, Platypus, Last Ride In, Espionage, and some old songs from Kerplunk and Slappy. One of Billie's brothers came onstage for Jaded. He just stood there and then jumped into the crowd. I heard Aaron Cometbus was the guy who wore the mask in the pit. But, I still don't if it's true. Rob Cavallo and Chris Freeman played bass for awhile. Some MTV guy sang My Generation. Green Day played over 30 songs that night. Tre came on the Nimrod bus and told everyone to have a blast with everything. My friend Josh gave him a ring that said 'PIMP' on it. I wonder if Tre still has the ring." |

Josh Rodriguez: "I got free tickets to this concert. Told my baseball coach that I was going to my cousin's graduation from some small college."
Simon Cross: "That was my first concert too! I was there... Highly intoxicated on a couple things with my sister and best friends. It was a great show... And got to see Billy Joe in some girl's thong..."
John Lyles: "I remember being wracked with tension during Brain Stew, in anticipation of it leading into Jaded. And when it happened I made a shitload of people slam dance whether they wanted to or not."
Louis Edwin: "I remember Billie Joe Armstrong asking the crowd if someone knew how to play guitar and he picks this kid from the crowd and asks him, 'Where you from kid?' The kid says, 'Skidmore.' And Billie Joe asks, 'Where the fuck is Skidmore?' Good times."
John Bruce: "Singer-guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong made an announcement early in Green Day's show Friday night at Texas Sky: 'I'm running for mayor of Corpus Christi.' Green Day won over its audience with a tight, 80-minute set of three-chord punk-pop. Choosing largely from their last three CDs, they proved an exciting live band, improving on their studio material. The night clearly belonged to Armstrong, whose energy was endless as he jumped around on stage and climbed on top of stacks of amps. He commanded the stage more like an emperor than a mayor, his arms outstretched like a punk Caesar. He and his band mates, bass player Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool, seemed to be enjoying themselves onstage and the excitement was infectious as the mostly teenage audience sang along enthusiastically. Dirnt is a versatile bass player, switching seamlessly from hardcore throb to jazz to shuffling country punk. And Cool hammered away with all the subtlety of, say, Keith Moon. Audience participation included chanting lyrics and body surfing. At one point Armstrong recruited a youth - introduced only as Andrew from Skidmore - from the audience to play guitar. Andrew crunched out the chords like a pro and for a finale dived off the stage into a sea of tattooed arms and earrings. The addition of a horn section was perplexing. A production element in the studio is one thing but, live, a muted trumpet and trombone sounded like kazoos and conjured the ghost of Benny Hill. Toward the end of five encores, Dirnt and Cool began to destroy the stage, knocking over drums and shooting guitars like torpedoes. Facing a stack of amplifiers, Armstrong, like a crazed emperor Nero, fiddled with the volume control on his guitar, engulfing the stage in a feedback-drenched wall of noise. Armstrong emerged from the rubble and, alone, sang Good Riddance: 'It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right. I hope you had the time of your life.'" |

"I go to the Beale Street Music Festival once a year for one day. They always happen to have at least one band that I enjoy listening to. Well, I walk in see Samiam playing and I go, 'What the heck?' It just so happens that they are playing on the same stage that Green Day will in an hour. I go and listen to them, and, believe me, they kick. Well, around 9:10 Green Day comes out. They open up with Nice Guys Finish Last, followed by Hitchin' A Ride and The Grouch. Billie Joe likes to interact with the crowd, I noticed. They continued playing. It was a pretty good show. He even brought out an Ernie doll that you can see on the back cover of Dookie. Green Day kicks!"
Tre Cool: "This tour is like a camping trip. When we played at the Beale Street Festival, we stole golf carts as usual. Beale Street is like a big old party in the heart of Memphis, and there were about a million police all over the place. We took golf carts from the river up to Beale Street through public streets, which is a good mile, with open beers in our hands. We were all driving the golf carts in the lanes where the cars should go until some cops saw us and pulled us over. As this was happening, I accidentally crashed the cart I was driving with Jason from Samiam (who are touring with GREEN DAY) in the passenger seat into a really high curb. The cops then tell us, "We pulled you over 'cause we just wanted to get a picture with y'all.' So basically, as the cops were pulling us over, we crashed into a ditch in a stolen golf cart–drinking and holding open containers in our hands. But instead of busting us, the cops helped us pull the golf cart out of the ditch and sent us back onto the public road – on our merry way – with our stolen golf cart and our beers. We're above the law. GREEN DAY ABOVE THE LAW: Headline." |

Reed: "This show was almost as good as the last. We got to the House Of Blues at 12 AM and waited for a long time. Security guards kept getting pissed, because we were back there where the buses were, but then they gave up and just started laughing at us, because we were blowing bubbles and trying to get them to float backstage. We sat around for 6 hours and ran into Erin from the first show and these two guys from Myrtle Beach. We got to go inside. Being the nice people that we were we let little Erin in first and then we all met up at the front of the stage. We saw some of the people from the Charlotte show and hung with them. The opening band - Samiam, was great, reminded me a lot of Descendents and Rancid. The crowd wasn't bad during their set and we didn't even sweat - the place had air conditioning. Then Samiam's drummer gave me his drumstick. It was so cool! House Of Blues has a lot of security and they were all up on us! The guard in front of me was like 6'5" feet tall, so I had a lovely crotch shot the whole night. And he had a had habit of messing with himself and scratching all the time! Green Day started with Nice Guys Finish Last and then they played Hitchin' A Ride. Josh and other guys from the Charlotte show held up signs saying 'Please play 'J.A.R.'' Billie looked at them and asked, 'You want to hear J.A.R.?' I think that was the first time they have played that live at a show. And then they played Geek Stink Breath, 2,000 Light Years Away, Longview and Welcome to Paradise. During Brain Stew and Jaded crowd went wild! Billie called for this chick to play and she didn't knew how to. I suppose she just wanted a kiss from Billie. Eventually, that guy we knew from the first show, Kip, got up there and did a good job. He dove out into the crowd and Billie claimed Blue once again to play Basket Case. Mike came over and stuck his foot out at us and I grabbed it. Tried to steal his shoe but he was too fast for me. Wonder what I could have ransomed that off for? He gave Erin a pick and Chris traded her one for one of his. Billie goofed off and played some heavy metal. Then it was Redundant, Scattered and band left the stage. Billie came back for encore with a suit on. They did Platypus by everyone's request. Halfway through King For A Day he got up on the amp and danced around behind the guard's head with the stiffy and started to undress. I almost died. Cute bikini undies! And I'll just say that the guard wasn't the only one with that, um, problem. But Billie didn't scratch his! It was great. Tre and Mike went crazy and broke everything on stage they could get their hands on. Including the stack of amps, Mike's bass and drumkit. Then Billie came to play Good Riddance which rocked. He looked like he was gonna bawl through the whole song. Maybe he missed Adrienne? And to top it all off, I got Tre to sign my picutes from the last show. Billie spat all over me. It was the bomb!" |

xxclandesttinexx: "I was there. Rough ass pit before they [Green Day] even went on."

Chris: "I taped Green Day on analog on 05/09/98 in Asbury Park, NJ at Convention Hall. The tape, unfortunately, came out at about C- quality according to my scale. Die-hards only, truthfully. If you're interested in a copy, email me. I also taped the opening band, Samiam. Their set is 25-30 minutes, and Green Day is a full 90 minutes. I haven't updated yet with the info about the Green Day show yet, though. Thanks. Taped in back left of venue. The first ten seconds of She are cut." |

"Green Day is without a doubt a kickass band. It just so happened this was my first concert I've ever gone to. It ruled. When we got to the Central Maine Civic Center was packed with screeming fans. At 9:00, out came Green Day! They started off With Nice Guys Finish Last, and worked their way through with a mix of songs on Nimrod, Dookie, and Insomniac. Then as a finish, Tre threw his drums around and then Bille played an awesome distorted version of Good Riddance. We were quiet for that song. I'm telling you, this concert kicked ass. Green Day left me with an adrenaline rush for weeks."
Rob Riccitelli: "On this day in 1998, Green Day played what was then the Central Maine Civic Center (now Colisee) in Lewiston. I had always heard stories about that infamous afternoon they stopped by the radio station. I recently caught up with a few people that were there that day including former morning guy here at CYY, Wildman Zach. He recalls a Cheese Doodle war in our conference room between the band, contest winners and staff. As you can see here, Tre Cool decided to walk on our table. It was the Nimrod tour. Reprise Records Rep and good friend of CYY, Andrew Govatsos, was there and he had brought a stack of Nimrod stickers with him. The band took most of them and slapped them on the walls all through the station and the building here at One City Center." |

Mitch Schneider, Amanda Cagan: "For Green Day, the madness continues. At the HFStival at RFK Stadium in Washington, DC, the band stole the show by playing a reliably maniacal set in front of 60,000 people before capping things off with a special touch. Let the Washington Post pick up the story: 'Green Day's lead singer, Billie Joe Armstrong, donned a mask for a crowd-pleasing spoof of shock-rock ghoul Marilyn Manson and later stripped down to leopard-print bikini panties. It seemed as if the entire stadium sang along to the anthem of self-loathing Basket Case, and after a spectacularly pyromaniacal closing in which the band set its drum kit and guitars on fire, Armstrong managed to pull off the relatively quiet and reflective Good Riddance (Time of Your Life).'"
MTV: "In a sign of spring as recognizable as melting snow or beer-cradling beach-bound college students, the annual radio station-sponsored love-in known as the WHFStival is back, this time with Green Day, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Foo Fighters, Everclear, Marcy Playground and many more. The rite of spring will take place on May 16 at its usual haunt, RFK Stadium in Washington, and will also feature performances by God Lives Underwater, Crystal Method, Semisonic, Soul Coughing, Save Ferris, Fastball, Barenaked Ladies, Cherry Poppin’ Daddies and Harvey Danger. Organizers say that more artists will be announced soon. Tickets for the show are $25 and are available through TicketMaster with some portion of the proceeds going to the Milarepa Fund to aid the Tibetan people in their non-violent struggle against their oppression at the hands of the Chinese government."
Rolling Stone: "Making the Crystal Method go on stage at R.F.K. Stadium's HFStival in Washington, D.C., after what Green Day did to it was cruel and unusual punishment. Theirs was a performance that will age well and prove more vigorous, more audacious and more felonious as it evolves into urban legend. Today, it was, 'did you see Tre Cool torch his drum set, Billie Joe Armstrong strip to his leopard-skin bikini briefs and that pimply-faced mosher jam with the band?' In ten years, the drummer for Green Day will have pulverized his drums and shot flares into the crowd, Billie Joe will be naked and urinating on security guards, and an overzealous fan will be heisting guitars. It was that good. 'We never plan to do shit,' Tre said after the band's set, waiting for a fire marshall to potentially come-a-callin', 'but we always keep the implements of our destruction on hand in case need be. I had an ax and other things.' Tre stood in front of his drum kit like a priest performing an exorcism, doused it with lighter fluid, and watched in glory as the flames grew. With studied ambivalence, Billie Joe walked up to the mic and performed the only song he could with the rest of the instruments in various states of ruin: the guitar ballad Good Riddance (Time of Your Life). The song's line 'It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right / I hope you had the time of your life' proved a fitting explanation for the wreckage ... and a modest farewell. Earlier, while covering Operation Ivy's Knowledge, Billie Joe voir dired the mosh pit, looking for a young hack who could adequately play the song's guitar line, so the ax-wielding frontman would be free to roam. After a two-minute search, Dave the Fan, wearing a 'Porn Star' T-shirt squirted through the pit and hopped on stage, where Billie Joe greeted him with a full kiss on the mouth. For the next few minutes, Tre and Mike supplied the backbeat while Billie Joe taught Dave how to play the song. 'If you suck, everyone here is gonna kick your ass,' Billie Joe said. He didn't, and even if he did, Green Day's chutzpah negated him. Not that a few performers didn't give Green Day a run for the benjamins. Wyclef Jean, joined on-stage by fellow Fugee Pras and the hip-hop flava of the month, Canibus, baptized 'rip-rock.' 'A lot of kids try to do it, but the fusion's not right,' he said before his set. 'We gonna combine street hip-hop with straight-up rock, but the lyrics are straight deadly street, you know what I mean?' Sure, why not."
Starsailgirl: "Green Day - I was thoroughly surprised at how good they were. They did all their hits, like Hitchin' a Ride, Longview, Basket Case, When I Come Around, Brainstew/Jaded, Welcome to Paradise, etc.. They did some funny stuff too. Billie Joe put on this devil mask and was like "the beautiful people, the beautiful people!" lol. He also dropped his pants...and then they set the stage on fire before Time Of Your Life (Good Riddance). Overall, they were good. They really interacted with the crowd."
Lamar: "Well i was fortunate enough to be one of the 60,000+ people at the HFSestival. And I was only there for Green day of course, they have been my favorite band for about 7 years now..and i had never seen them live before. So anyways heres how the show went down. After like 12 bands and about 13 hours of music..it was finally 8:30 and green day was about to come on. I can't remember if whip it was playing..but a SouthPark show was playing right before they came on. As soon as the big white "Green Day" flag thingy came up on stage..Mike came running out and says "Hey..how the fuck are ya?!" and Tre and Billie come running out also. They immiediatly start up playing Nice guys finish last, and go through most of the usual stuff that has been mentioned here in the past nimrod tour reviews. They did the whole "geta guy from the crowd for knowledge and make him do a stage dive" and chant The beautiful people song. I knocked some good looking girl over during Jaded..i felt bad about that, but she just got right back up and was slammin around. But the coolest part, which you may have heard
about on the message board right after the Festival, was at the end when they trashed the stage..Tre ran off stage..and comes running back on, with a small white bottle..which everyone soon realizes is lighter fluid. He squirts it all over the broken drums and ignites the huge pile..which immidietly catch on fire..meanwhile Mike threw in his red bass and the pickups were blowing up which was really loud. Billie starts playing Good riddence with a fire about 15 feet behind him, while the staff for the show was trying to put it out. It was by far the coolest show ive ever seen, even though there were no fights..nor did i meet the guys afterwards. They just kicked so much ass its hard to explain. Billie Joe knows how to get the crowd so fired up in the moment. I hope they will come by soon around the DC/Maryland/Virginia area so i can see them again. The set, if i remember it correct was like this:
Nice guys finish last
Hitchin a Ride
Geek Stink Breath
Longview
She
Welcome to Paradise
Brainstew
Jaded
Knowledge
Basket Case
King for a Day
Good riddence
(billie joe also played bits of Ironman by black sabbath, and Sanitarium (i think it was that, not sure though) by Metallica)" |

Chris: "This was my first time seeing Green Day, and I must say, I was really impressed. First, we stood outside the sold-out Newport for a solid two hours waiting intensely for the fucking doors to open. I was a wreck, plus, these dumbasses kept piling up near the gate in front of everyone who'd been waiting for hours. That pissed a few people off. We finally got inside, thankfully after buying those pre-concert party tickets, and found ourselves about three rows from the stage. Now, from what I've heard, the Newport used to be an old movie house, so if you could, the arena wasn't too big, but it wasn't too small either. Perfect for a rock show, I believe. Samiam came on first. They all had these big grins and then lined everyone (except the drummer obviously) up at the front of the stage, unleashed this monstrous, fat sound, and blew everyone away from the opening chords. The mosh started from the back and suddenly everyone surged forward and were snapped back like we were caught in a tidal wave. Samiam played for about 30 minutes, and I felt like I was the only one who knew who they were. There were a few others still in the mosh, but for the most part, the crowd wasn't that receptive. Then Samiam threw stickers out onto the crowd and some of these dumbfucks threw 'em down on the floor. Jeesh! We waited impatiently for 45 minutes as security passed cups of water throughout the pit because it was so hot. So hot, I don't know how some people didn't pass out. The crowd got sick of waiting and then started yelling, 'COME ON! GREEN DAY! GREEN DAY! GREEN DAY!' Finally, WHIP IT comes over the loud speakers and the house lights go dim, leaving only a green flourescent haze hanging over the gigantic Green Day banner. It kicked ass, and the crowd went apeshit. We started a pogo to WHIP IT and finally everyone went nuts as Billie Joe and Co. stormed the stage and ripped into NICE GUYS FINISH LAST. The mosh was wild. I felt like I was gonna suffocate (no pun intended), so I fell out of the mosh after third song, THE GROUCH. Billie then taunted the Columbus mayor, saying, 'FUCK THE MAYOR! I'm the new mayor! I just wanna drink, fight, and fuck! Did I mention I'm now mayor? What is today? Sunday? Sunday or Monday? Fuck, Monday? Now that I'm mayor, no one has to go to school ever again! ...yadda yadda...'"
"The night was Monday, May 18th, 1998. I drove to Columbus, Ohio that morning to meet my friends, Jamie and Ryan. It would be my first Green Day concert seen live. We had pre-show tickets so we got in the club an hour earlier than everyone without the pre-show ticket. There were no seats, so we got up front, right up front. There was only one line of people in front of us. While we were waiting for the openers, Tre made some appearences to the side on his little yellow bike. Mike walked by a couple of times too. The opening band Samiam came on and they were ok but everyone was anticipating Green Day, especially me. After an hour or so of intermission between the 2 bands, Green Day finally came out. Well ok I admit, I only saw Billie Joe. All I remember was him running out onto stage playing 'Nice Guys Finish Last'. They put on an awesome show. I was in the pit the entire time, after a while I got pushed back into the middle but that was fine, cause the club was so small I was still close enough to see the band. I was jumping and singing along with the music and all the fans. I got seperated from Jamie and Ryan but I had a good time anyway. Green Day played all of their best songs. The intermission was great cause Billie came out after that and stripped to his leopard bikini thong and danced around singing King for a Day and finished out the set dressed like that. I didn't complain a bit! Towards the end Tre destroyed his drums in his typical fashion, Mike and the trumpet and trombone players threw water and beer on the crowd. Then Billie came out and played Good Riddance and I knew the show was coming to an end. After BJ left the stage, they threw out some Nimrod stickers and then it was over. I left to find Jamie and Ryan outside waiting for me. But from there, our night didn't get worse, it got better! We went around to the back of the club and watched at they loaded all the instruments onto the trucks. One of the roadies gave Ryan one of Tre's broken drumsticks from the show 'cause he kept asking for something. Then I saw everyone run, and we looked over and Mike was standing outside. He signed some autographs and then got back on the tour bus before the crowd even died down. Then we stood outside for about another hour and got a picture of us with the trumpet player of No Doubt, Stephen Bradley, who was on tour with Green Day at the time. He was really nice and took a picture with us. Then my ultimate dream came true. Billie Joe came outside! Of course we ran over to greet him. When we got to him, he signed the t-shirt I had bought before the show, and let us take a pic with him. We made Ryan take the picture cause me and Jaime had to be in it with him! He was super nice. Not only is he very good looking, his personality is awesome. He just stood outside with us all, drinking on his beer and answering any questions that were asked. We took a lot of pictures of him. I even said bye to him and he said bye back. Then before Billie left to get on the bus, Tre came out. He was drunk and wearing his Nimrod shirt and had his trademark green hair. He signed a few autographs then he had to go because the tour busses were honking at him. Then we stood there as the tour busses took off. I will forever remember that night as the best night of my life."
"On May 18th, 1998, me and Ryan drove over to the hotel we were (me, Shari and Ryan), would stay at, the night of the concert, to meet up with Shari, who drove all the way to Columbus to see Green Day with us. That night... After a day of running around from malls and stores, we headed off to the Newport Music Hall, where Green Day would peforom, we had to go early. Seeing how the place has no seats, it's general admission! When we got to the place, only a few people were in front of us. We were so hyped, beause we knew we would get good seats! So when the doors were opened, we all pushed our way through, so we made sure we got up front! And so we did! As we waited about 45 minutes for Samiam to open. We all seen Tre ride by on his bike, in and out of the venue. Even a few of us saw Mike with his gothic looking girlfiend. And believe me, when I say goth, I mean goth! She wasn't pretty at all! As the lights went down, Samiam came on. They were good. But most people just stood around waiting for Green Day. Well, as the intermission came, and boy, it seemed forever! Everyone were chanting, 'Green Day!' And again as the lights went down, the crowd went nuts! Billie, Mike, and Tre ran out. Well as Nice Guys Finish Last, the mosh pit started to get heavy and hard. I tryed to stay in. But then a big guy came pushing into me, which made me run into the girl in front of me. That's wasn't a pretty side. She didn't mind. I wasn't able to breathe! Ack! So I tried to push my way back next to Shari and Ryan. Asshole dudes wouldn't let me. So, finally, about 5 or 6 songs in I had to stay in the pit. And Ryan came with me, to make sure I was OK. I was worried about Shari, because she was stuck in there alone. But I knew her eyes were planted on Billie and she would be fine. Well, as we heard the horns to play King For A Day, Ryan pointed me to look at Billie, because he was stipping down to his leopard skin thongs! By this time everyone was so wound up. Awesome, even though I smelled like beer and sweat. But as the show ended, Mike and the No Doubt horn players started to spray beer and water on the crowd and Tre destroyed his drum set, as Billie sit on the stage playing his guitar, which sort of got annoying atfterwhile. As the band left. Billie comes back out and plays Good Riddance and we all know it's the end of the concert. But why be sad? The best part was still to come! We decided to go to UDF to grab something to drink seeing how all 3 of us were hot and sweaty. But while there we decided to go behind the venue and see if we could catch a glimpse of da boys! So we sat around. About 30 people had the same idea as us. Go figure! We sat on the ground, because we knew it may be awhile before the boys would show. So we watched the roadies load the equipment to the van and Ryan got one of Tres broken drumsticks from a roadie. As he asked for something to have as a souvenir. We seen them put all the boys bikes in the van and everything. After about 45 minutes or so of waiting. There was Mike Dirnt himself! He was very nice, talked to everyone, signed autographs. Even heard of him speak about his daughter. But then he went off to the tour bus, his girlfriend was there waiting. But as it turned 1 AM, here came Billie! Me and Shari ran to him. He was so nice I asked him for a picture, Billie thought I was talking about a guitar pick! We came so close to getting one! He was more than happy to take a picture with us! I got his arm around me! Shari's going to kill me for that, you know!? But I was so amazed, I didn't realized I had gotten an arm and she didnt, until the next morning when we got out pics developed! We all got Billie's autograph on our Green Day shirts we bought, and on my ticket. Tre walked out! He was so drunk. He signed my ticket twice." |

Star Tribune: "Not your flavor of the month: Except for Green Day and Soul Asylum, most of the nationally known Edgefest bands were pretty much of the flavor-of-the-month variety. Forget about these one-hit wonders; it was the veterans who gave the most galvanizing performances. Like Beck's show at Edgefest 4, Green Day's over-the-top set Saturday may rank as the most unforgettable rock performance of the year." |

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: "Long before it set out to be some important band making rock operas, Green Day was just a trio of American idiots. Exhibit A: the band's eye-popping spectacle at X-Fest, during which Billie Joe Armstrong joked, 'I'm the king of punk and heavy metal all rolled into one.' To demonstrate, Green Day barrelled through songs from 'Dookie' and 'Insomniac,' with Armstrong ending up in just his leopard undies, which is more than the singer from Jimmie's Chicken Shack had on when he crashed the stage. It wasn't over till bassist Mike Dirnt toppled his amps and smashed his bass and drummer Tre Cool doused his kit in lighter fluid and torched it. Amid the wreckage, Armstrong sang, 'Hope you had the time of your life.'" |

Oh, the Concerts I Have Seen: "This was a really fun show as there were a lot friends there that we ran into during the show. Green Day was the musical highlight of the day for me. The drummer went nuts at the end of the set, kicked holes in his drum, knocked the entire drum kit to the ground then poured lighter fluid all over it and set it on fire. As flames soared from the drum kit Billie Joe came out with an acoustic guitar, sat down in front of the fire and played a solo acoustic version of Good Riddance. That was amazing but the most memorable thing that happened that day was late afternoon when dark clouds of thick black smoke started pouring out of the parking lot entrance area. It turned out that one of my best friends' car overheated while they were waiting to get into the parking lot, it caught fire and literally burnt up before the fire trucks could even get there. In true 'my friends' fashion once they realized there was nothing they could do to help with the fire they came into the show. I took them home after the show and they dealt with the car drama the next day. God, I loved being young and dumb."
"Me and four of my friends went to see Green Day at the Hershey Park Pavillion. We got there around 5:00 and there was about 100 people there. Cory Glover played first followed by Samiam. Samiam was pretty cool. Finally, around 7:35 Green Day ran on stage. About 3000 people crowded around. Billie Joe ran out to the very edge of the stage with a very weird look on his face and stood like a statue. One of little tents to side had been selling little rubber bouncy balls all night and the crowd threw a whole bunch up on stage. Billie Joe caught a few and threw them back. Then he screamed, "ALRIGHT HERE WE GO!" and they started into Nice Guys Finish Last followed by Hitchin' A Ride. Then Billie Joe switched guitars and said, " Oh my god, I think I just shit my pants. How many people have shit their pants before? This next song is about shitting your pants!" and they went into Geek Stink Breath. When they played Knowledge, Billie Joe asked some 15yr old kid up on stage to play. When he got on stage, Mike said " hey look! It's Hanson!" everyone laughed. The kid did alright. At the end of the song, Billie Joe told the kid to look back at Tre Cool, but the kid kept smiling at the audience. Billie Joe yelled a couple more times before he heard him. Billie Joe jumped and the kid just stood there. Then Billie Joe jumped again and said " Jump! Damnit!" and the kid jumped and Tre Cool banged his cymbals to end the song but the kid forget to strum the guitar while he jumped So Billie Joe said " Just get the Fuck off the
stage!" and he made the kid stage dive. Mike yelled, " Don't catch him!" but the crowd did. Then they played Basket case. During King for a Day, Billie Joe took his pants off and waved his butt at the crowd and after they played When I come Around, Tre Cool burned his drum set and Mike burned his bass. Billie Joe sat in front of his cabinets with a gorilla mask on a made a lot of feedback. The destruction lasted about 15 minutes. Then Billie Joe played Good Riddance. Alot of people in the audience were waving lighters. My friends and I got banged up in the Mosh pit, but it was worth it. We stayed to watch the Bosstones play and they were good, but not nearly as good as GREEN DAY." |

Jen Brown: "After taking a little break, I headed back to the main stage to check out Green Day. I must say, Green Day put on the absolute best performance of the day. It was very obvious to me that many of the people at the festival were there to see Tre Cool, Mike Dirnt and Billie Joe. The band played upbeat, rock songs from their various albums. The entire show was excellent, however the highlight of their set did not come until the end. The band attempted to end the evening with a song from their major record label debut, DOOKIE, When I Come Around. After finishing the song, a horn and a trombone player came out and played their rendition of the Star Spangled Banner while Tre lit his drums on fire. As the drums burned and the horns played, the crowd swayed and cheered. Finally Billie Joe took the stage again, simply to break into "Time of Your Life." This seemed to me to be the perfect ending to a perfect day, but it was not the end, their was still one more band to see."
Jessica: "Last night on May 29th, 1998, I went to the best concert of my life. It was the Y100 Feztival featuring bands like Everclear, Marcy Playground, Fastball, Cherry Poppin' Daddies, and of course, my favorite band of 4 years.. Green Day. This was my second time seeing Green Day, and the first time I didn't get any pictures (since it was my first concert, I was too excited to think), but I made sure that this time I brought a camera with me, a lighter (for "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)"), and tons of money to spend on all Green Day merchandise that I didn't already have. Since there was mega traffic getting to the Camden Blockbuster Sony Music Entertainment Centre, I missed the first band, which was Fastball. I
got there around 2:30p.m., but it took a while to find my seat (section C, row 203, seat 19), show my ticket to all the guards, and get searched for any guns (haha). I knew we weren't supposed to have any cameras, so I shoved it down my pants, and luckily no one caught me with it, so I got about 20 pictures of Green Day which will be developed soon. But anyway, the line-up was: Fastball, Marcy Playground, Wyclef Jean, Everclear, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Jeffrey Gaines, Ben Folds Five, Green Day, and Cherry Poppin' Daddies (In that order). I only cared a little bit about Fastball, Marcy Playground, Everclear, and Mighty Mighty Bosstones, but I REALLY cared about Green Day, so I basically walked around most of the concert, waiting for Green Day to come on, which was supposed to happen at around 8:45. I came to the concert wearing huge green pants (it was 85 degree weather, but i needed to sneak my camera in), a Green Day shirt, my face and arms painted with Y100 (you could get backstage passes if you wore Y100 all over you--but i didn't win them), my hair completely green with glitter in it, and a HUGE sign that said on one side: "Y100 You rule" & on the other: "WE LOVE GREEN DAY". Both sides of the poster were painted with glow and the dark paint over top of the crayons that I colored the letters in with, so when it was dark outside, you could still read what the poster said. To kill some time, I bought a Y100 Feztival t-shirt, a styrophome hand with a middle finger sticking up that said "Green Day" & on the other side it said "nimrod", and some weird kind of fisherman hat or something that had the dookie logo of Green Day on it (which was green). And see, there was this walkway between where the seats were and where the lawn started, and where the lawn started, it was elevated and there was a fence or something blocking it in the front, so people would stand up there and ask for the people on the walkway to slap them 5. So, since I was walking around with my friends with the "WE LOVE GREEN DAY" sign showing all these people would scream from the top of the lawn at the fence "We love Green Day, too, they rule!" I swear, about 20 people did that who were on the lawn, and I slapped them 5 every time. And when we were walking around to these stands that sold things, I would hold the sign up and people would start going like, "yeah!! green day rocks!" Then, when Ben Folds Five was on(the band before Green Day), it was like the everlasting band. I swear, it was like hell listneing to them because I knew Green Day was comming up right after them. After waiting and waiting, Ben Folds Five was finally over and there was a 20 minute wait before Green Day so they could set up Green Day's stuff. After about 10 minutes of staring at the guys set up Green Day's stuff, the Green Day Nimrod logo banner flopped down, and everyone started cheering. I even heard people on the lawn start cheering "Green Day! Green Day! Green Day!" Then about 10 minutes after that, the lights dimmed and huge beams of green
was shown on the stage, and everyone cheered again. About 2 minutes later, horns started playing, and Green Day came on stage and people cheered SOOOO loud. The first song they played was "Nice Guys Finish Last" and then "Hitchin' a Ride". I got lots of pictures of them for those first 2 songs. I got on my friend's shoulders and got pictures, too, and I held up the sign. I KNOW Billie Joe saw it becuase he was looking RIGHT at it! But anyway, after they performed "Hitchin' a RIde", Billie Joe went on a curse attack, and I don't even remember what he said. He might have said something like asking us if we were having a good time. There were these people dressed up in costumes.. I couldn't tell what one of them was, but the other was a bee, I think. And the bee was the horn player for "King For A Day" I
think. I think after "Hitchin' a Ride", Billie Joe played something from Insomniac, I really don't remember. During one song, I think it was "Knowledge", Billie Joe asked if anyone in the audience could play guitar (he did this for the Philladelphia concert on November 17, 1997) and some guy said that he could, so Billie Joe got this guy up on stage to play some guitar chords-- he actually was really good! Then, after the song was over, Billie Joe asked what the guy's name was, and he said "Mike." Then Billie Joe said "Do you want to stage dive?" and Mike (Not Mike Dirnt, hehe) said, "I don't know." Then Billie Joe said, "Well, you don't have a fucking choice, now do you?" Then Billie Joe had the audience chant, "Mike! Mike! Mike! Mike!" and Mike stage dove into the mosh pit. After that, Billie Joe played a couple songs, including "King For a Day." During the part where he says "King for a day -- in a leather thong," Billie Joe took off his pants, and he was wearing a leather thong!!! It was so funny, because me and all the other girls in the audience were screaming so loud. Then, he'd go to the right side of the stage and pretend he was taking the thong off, but then he'd put it back on again, and he'd do the same thing on the left side. You couldn't see anything, though. He only put it down like a centimeter on the side. Then for about one song he was wearing that thong and a black shirt, but his guitar was covering the thong. Then the next to last song, Billie Joe held out the last note while Tre Cool dumped a liquid ( I think it was water ) onto his drumset, and lit a match and it went up in flames. This was after he took it apart and threw it all into one pile. Then Mike Dirnt threw his bass in the fire, too. Then that guy dressed up as a bee and Green Day started throwing water all over the audience. Then Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt walked off stage, and Billie Joe performed "Time of Your Life." I got my lighter out and so did like 100 others. After the song was over, Tre and Mike came back out and Tre took off his shirt and threw it in the audience. Then they just left the stage and it was over. Many people left after Green Day did, including myself and my friends, becuase everyone knew that the Cherry Poppin' Daddies couldn't top that performance by Green Day. As my friends and I were waiting for our ride, we would ask strangers comming out of the concert if they wanted some popcorn (we didn't want anymore), and tehy'd say "yes." Then we'd say, "only if you're a Green Day fan," and they'd go, "Hell yeah." Then we'd go into a whole conversatoin about how Green Day was the best band there with total strangers. We did this about three times. It was pretty cool. Only one person said to me that Green Day sucks, out of like 20,000, and you know what I did? I shoved that hand with the middle finger sticking up that said "Green Day" right in their fucking face. Green Day really was the best band there, and I hope to see them for the third time sometime soon. " |

"Tre Cool, drummer for Green Day, called in to talk to Howard for a few minutes. Tre was very laid back while on the phone this morning which is unusual for the guy. I've seen him on MTV and he's usually very hyper. Howard talked to him about how he set his drums on fire at the K-Rock Dysfunctional Family Picnic on Saturday. Luckily he wasn't injured when his foot caught fire. He said that his hand caught fire yesterday at another concert. Howard also told Tre about how his daughter fell in love with him. Howard later joked that Tre was behaving himself on the phone because he's going to be Howard's son-in-law some day. Before Tre left he said that he has to go to court today because the band is getting sued over a riot at a concert back in 1994. He asked Howard to wish him luck in the case."
"Howard Stern spent some time at the Revenge of The K-Rock Dysfunctional Family Picnic concert this weekend. He mentioned on Friday that he might ride his bike over to the concert because it was fairly close to his house. He didn't ride his bike over but he did go to the concert. He ended up taking his wife, his daughter and her friend. Howard spent a little time at the concert and got to introduce Green Day and Scott Weiland. He thought it was kind of odd when his program director asked him to introduce Green Day about a half hour before they were ready to perform. Howard said that he only saw Fred for a minute or two and he didn't see Jackie at all even though he was there. Same thing with Stuttering John. Howard's 15 year old daughter fell in love with Tre Cool of Green Day. Howard doesn't want her into anything like that though. After Green Day did their set, Tre lit his drum set on fire. Then his foot caught fire! When security guys went to put out the fire Tre got really pissed and tried to stop them. Howard loved it and thinks that Tre is a great drum player but he sure as hell won't let his daughter get involved with someone like that. Howard didn't stick around for the whole show because he got tired."
"Thanks to KROCK: Green Day has just set the stage on fire (literally) and cops are swarming the joint. I'm standing backstage talking to Scott Weiland about the Stone Temple Pilots reunion slated for "the first of the year" when Howard Stern walks up and says, "Don't mean to interrupt you guys, just wanted to say hello to Scott. Of course, I acquiesce - after all, he is the King of All Media - and then I resume my chat with Weiland. This is the kind of night it was (i.e., it was a gas) at the K-Rock Revenge Of The Dysfunctional Family Picnic. The second annual summer concert event took place at the Jones Beach Theatre Saturday night. Hosted by New York's premiere rock radio station 92.3 K-Rock, it was a star - studded event under the starry skies of Zach's Bay. In addition to Green Day and Weiland, the bill for the evening included Third Eye Blind, The Offspring, Ben Folds Five, Fuel, Soul Asylum, King Norris and Stuttering John. Around 9:00 p.m., Stern appeared onstage, driving the crowd into near epileptic seizures by his mere presence. Howard sent out a few customary greetings, and introduced the official hell-raisers of the night, Green Day. Lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong, mounted in his customary Joe Strummer-esque pose, seemed intent on leading the audience past Stern-mania into uncharted levels of hysteria. Billie Joe seemed to accomplish his task, with the help of a few stage antics, including playing a few snippets of Black Sabbath and Metallica covers and cursing a lot. The band sounded great, but just for the hell of it, I decided to count Billie Joe's use of single obscene words in his monologue. The tally came to: 'Fuck', 127 times (the winner), 'Shit', 38 times, 'Cunt', 93 times (another popular item), 'Cock', a mere 23, 'Piss', 47... I think you get the message. It was at this point that Billie Joe and the boys decided to set the drums on fire, much to the dismay of backstage security and the local paramedics. The scene backstage - which was already something of a circus - now took on a flavor of true pandemonium. Soon the fire extinguishers appeared and inevitably the local police."
Kate: "The K-ROCK dysfunctional family picnic started at 5, but there were a bunch of stupid bands that played first. First came some crappy ones, then The Offspring. They were good, but our seats were so high up we could barely see them. Also, no one was standing up by us so we didnt, because we were in the front row of the top balcony. So after The Offspring, we went down stairs and we saw my friend, Nikki, who happened to be in really good seats with her sister and her friends. So we snuck in to the seats near those, (it was weird that they were empty), and as soon as we got there Howard Stern came on and Introed green Day. the big Green Day banner came up, covering the k-rock logo. No one knew exactly why though, because green day switched places in the lineup with Third Eye Blind. Me and my friend Maya and Nikki were really hyped up, becuase neither of us ever saw Green Day live before. Then they came on, and played Nice Guys Finish last, then Hitchin a Ride. Their performance of When I Come Around was awesome. They also did Basketcase, Welcome to Paradise, Longview and Geek Stink Breath. At one point, Billie Joe made some comment about the other bands being afraid to curse,and proceeded into a few minutes of nothing but "FUCK SHIT FUCKIN COCK FUCKED FUCKER COCK FUCKING FUCKED FUCKER FUCK FUCK FUCK" Then Billie Joe put on a devil mask and started saying " the beautiful people the beautiful people" which was kind of funny to see. then they did brain stew. Then the horn players, Gabe and Steve(i dont know WHAT they were wearing), came out and they did King for a day. This was my favorite part, because billie joe stripped for the crowd, right down to his leopard-print undies. which made me very happy to have switched seats. Anyway, then they played some more stuff but i dont remember in what order, and then Tre doused the drums in lighter fluid. He lit it on fire, then Mike and Billie Joe tossed in their guitars and it turned into a HUGE equipment bonfire. At this point, the Jones Beach people started flipping out on the green day people. The jones beach people were running toward the blaze with fire extinguishers, claiming that the stage was made of thin wood, while the green day roadies fought them off. So then Billie Joe started singing Time of Your Life (as Mike and Tre got into the bus). After he finished, the crowd, lighters in hand, burst into cheering and clapping, but Green Day was nowhere to be found. They ran into the bus, leaving the burning drumset, and got the hell out of there." |

Jonathan Perry: "Midway through Green Day's deliriously manic set at the River Rave at Great Woods last Sunday, the band's clown-prince frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong, hauled Wally from Worcester - a white, 17-year-old, second- (or, depending on your grasp of history, third-) generation punker from the 'burbs wearing a Charlie Brown T-Shirt - up on to the stage to play a few chunky chords on guitar. Wally looked more than happy to oblige, and then, with a crowd of just under 20,000 exhorting him onward (chanting 'Wah-lee! Wah-lee!'), he did a stage dive back into his natural habitat - the throbbing mosh pit. Wally from Worcester probably couldn't have cared less, but in some ways he epitomizes the kind of listener that modern rock radio is after, and the kind of kid the music industry pays consultants to study. A significant portion of the River Rave's audience sprang from that sort of demographic, with the occasional 11-year-old and fortysomething rocker/parent thrown in for good measure. Last weekend at Great Woods, the WBCN River Rave and the 19th annual KISS Concert (which took place Saturday) represented two of the dominant markets that mainstream radio caters to - and in some ways, creates - these days: modern rock and adult contemporary. And each bill spoke volumes about the state of the music industry in general, encapsulating both its best and its worst aspects. There's nothing quite like a massive outdoor festival, where one-liter bottles of water sell for $5 and VIPs don't even bother to show up for their preferred seating, to remind you that this is, above all else, a business. One mass food fight and an hour later, it was Green Day's turn. Even though Weiland's set was yet to come, Green Day climaxed the evening with all the snotty bluster they could muster. Stripped down to his leopard-skin skivvies, and promising sex, drugs, and a "six-pack of your favorite beer in your fuckin' fridge every morning!" as part of an impromptu speech announcing his campaign for governor of Massachusetts, frontguy Billie Joe Armstrong delivered a sneering rendition of Shangri-La. And as two guys dressed as bumblebees and what looked to be a chicken costume played a trumpet-and-trombone version of The Star-Spangled Banner, Billie Joe regarded the junked pile of Tre Cool's drum kit that lay in a heap nearby, in flames. At that point, I couldn't see Wally from Worcester anywhere. But I bet he was smiling."
"After being a loyal Green Day fan for over four years, I recently scored tickets to see them as the headlining act at WBCN's annual Alterna- Fest (River Rave) held at the sold out 19,900 person Great Woods Center for the Performing Arts. After an amazing set by the Offspring, I was afraid that Green Day would have a difficult time winning over the crowd. I was wrong. From the instant Green Day charged the stage all the way to the last chord in Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) Green Day wowed the 20,000 fans- who spent most of their time pogoing and moshing to the music with glee. They started off their set with a crisp, yet raucously punk "Nice Guys Finish Last". As soon as Green Day began its next song- "Hitchin' a Ride"- the crowd exploded. To be honest, I never thought I'd make it out of that mosh pit alive. Anyways, Green Day launched into a crunching "Geek Stink Breath" next, and they played a collection of hits from Dookie until they covered the Operation Ivy song "Knowledge". During "Knowledge", Billie brought a fan onstage, taught him a few chords, and let him play the song while Billie sang. I could see the kid's eyes light up from where I stood, and I could hear the rest of the sold out stadium cheering him on. During the next tune, "King for a Day", the horns players for No Doubt took the stage in a banana and bee costume and played tremendously well as Billie stripped down to a leopardskin thong. Directly after "When I Come Around" Tre burned his drum set (which as I understand is becoming quite commonplace nowadays) as Billie performed an incredible rendition of "Good Riddance". To make a long story short, the crowd left with a smile on its collective face, and I sure had The Time of My Life." |

petrafax: "We waited for almost an hour in that godawful crowd just to see Green Day. Ugh. How I regret it now. After 30 minutes, Adam Corrola from Loveline came out and said they'd be on. He just failed to mention it would be another 20 minutes. I didn't like Green Day. The music is okay, they didn't play a single song I didn't know (even though we only stayed for about 6 songs). Billie Joe's language was atrocious. My friend liked the fact that he started playing Iron Man in the middle of the concert. We almost got smushed by moshers and we lost Silver since she stayed back in the crowd so we left the parking lot." |

"...All of a sudden, Devo's Whip It came on, and the WHOLE ampitheater jumped to their feet as the stage rotated and Green Day appeared. They started off with Nice Guys Finish Last and followed with Hitchin' A Ride. Then they played Geek Stink Breath, Welcome To Paradise, and Longveiw with the devil mask on and the chanting of The Beautiful People. Billie said that he knew all the heavy metal songs because he's the 'king of punk rock and heavy metal.' They played stuff like Eye Of The Tiger and Iron Man and Brain Stew. Knowledge was funny because when Billie got someone on stage to play the guitar. The guy he picked had a VIP pass, so Billie kicked him off the stage and got someone else. Then they played Basket Case and King For A Day. Billie ran around in a leather thong. Then they played When I Come Around. The bass player from Third Eye Blind ran on stage and attacked Mike. Mike kicked him before security took him away. Billie said, 'This is the last Weenie Roast at this place 'cause we are gonna tear it down!' As usual, they burned the drums, knocked over the speakers, spilled beer on everyone and Tre rolled around on the stage. Then him and Mike left as Billie played Good Riddance, but while Billie and Tre were still onstage before Good Riddance, Mike and the bassist of Third Eye Blind got into a fight and some guy smashed a bottle on Mike's head and I heard today that he had a skull fracture and will be pressing charges. It was one of the best damn Green Day shows I'd ever seen despite the fact that poor Mike's head got cut open."
Addicted to Noise: "Green Day management and Irvine, CA, police are actively investigating a backstage fight between Green Day's Mike Dirnt and Third Eye Blind's Arion Salazar that left Dirnt with a fractured skull. Dirnt, the 26-year-old bassist from the multi-platinum-selling punk-pop trio, suffered the head injury and was hospitalized after being struck over the head with a beer bottle during LA radio station KROQ's annual Weenie Roast at Irvine Meadows Amphitheatre on Saturday, according to Green Day publicist Amanda Cagan. While Third Eye Blind's management acknowledges that Salazar was involved in a scuffle with Dirnt, they deny fan reports that he caused the injury. Explaining that the matter is currently being investigated, Cagan said the primary concern at this time is finding the culprit who struck Dirnt, a.k.a. Mike Pritchard. 'All we want to know is who hit Mike,' she said, adding that Green Day recently postponed the opening of their Canadian tour due to what she said were scheduling conflicts. 'There has been no legal action taken at this point. It's still under investigation.' Meanwhile, Irvine Police investigator Lori Teves confirmed that the police have begun looking into the incident after receiving a complaint from the hospital where Dirnt was taken following his injury. 'We haven't identified anyone by name, but the case is still under investigation,' Teves said. The fight between Salazar and Dirnt began after Green Day's set as part of the Weenie Roast, said Russell Bloom of Eric Godtland Management, the company that represents hit-making pop-rockers Third Eye Blind. When Salazar ran onstage and bear-hugged Dirnt, the Green Day bassist was apparently surprised by Salazar. Dirnt allegedly kicked and hit Salazar, leading to an altercation during the show and backstage afterward. Although he acknowledged in a press release Monday that there had been a fight between Dirnt and Salazar, Godtland spokesman Bloom maintained in the same release that an overzealous fan, rather than Salazar, rushed up and struck Dirnt over the head. When contacted on Thursday, Bloom said that there were no developments in the case and would not comment further. Curtis L. Garrett, general manager of Staff Pro, the contracted security company for events at Irvine Meadows, worked Saturday's event. He said he was walking Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong and drummer Tre Cool backstage when he saw a crowd of people running toward the VIP tent adjacent to Green Day's trailer. 'All three bandmembers were yelling at someone else, and I was pushing [Green Day] away,' Garrett said. 'I called for the rest of staff to come backstage to help me out. Dirnt was standing on top of a table ... with blood running down the back of his neck, yelling, 'Some fucker hit me with a bottle.'' The injury appeared to be to the back right of Dirnt's head, Garrett said, adding that he escorted the injured bassist to an emergency medical services tent to receive first aid. Dirnt has been resting at home this week in Berkeley, Calif., with the rest of the band, according to Cagan. In the meantime, the start of the Canadian leg of Green Day's current tour was postponed from Wednesday to this Saturday, due to prior scheduling conflicts, she added. Cagan denied that Dirnt's injury had anything to do with the cancellations, adding that the tour will still begin in St. John's, Newfoundland, at Bow Ring Park. In the statement released Monday by Godtland, Salazar said, 'I am sorry that my attempt at doing something I thought would be funny escalated into Mike getting hurt. That was never my intention. I simply had too much to drink and made a very bad decision. 'If I had been in Mike's place, I'm sure I would have acted similarly,' Salazar added. 'My heart goes out to him, and I hope he recovers quickly. We have many friends in common, and I just hope that he can accept my sincerest apology. I am sorry, Mike.'" |

8sPOT: "My first real concert. Was a big Green Day fan and Nimrod had just been released. Them and Foo Fighters just rocked the place. Also saw Matt Good Band, Sloan, The Tea Party and Hole (Courtney Love lifted her shirt up, sweet deal for a 14 year old). This was also my first experience in a pit-type setting, loved it."
Meridian007: "I saw Green Day in 1998 at Edgefest in Ottawa. Halfway through their set, Billie Joe called out for a 'fuckin' good guitarist' from the crowd. After much debate amongst the people at the front, a teenage kid (probably about 16 or so) was pushed up on stage, Billie Joe gave him his guitar, and the kid played for 3 or 4 songs! This concert changed my mind about Green Day, I thought they were a bunch of posers before this, but they proved that they can rock, and are nice guys as well!"
Heather: "It was totally worth driving from Buffalo, NY to Barrie, Ontario to see Green Day play at Edgefest 98'. This was the fifth time I've seen the band, 4th time on the Nimrod tour. Green Day went onstage at 7:15, a little while after the Foo Fighters set. I got to watch the show from a little balcony thing on the side of the stage. I didn't miss a thing. The band opened with "Nice Guys Finish Last". I don't really remember the order of the songs but they also played: Hitchin a Ride, Geek Stink Breath, Brainstew, Jaded, Knowledge, Basket Case, Longview, Welcome to Paradise, When I come Around, King for a Day, Good Riddance, and part Sabbath's "Iron Man". I probably missed a couple songs, but the set was shortened anyhow. Billie stripped down to his leopard print underwear during "King for a Day" and played "When I Come Around" in them too. Millions of people were trying to climb onstage, and after the show Mike told me they crowd surfed a dude in a wheel chair up on stage. I didn't see it, but I believe you, Mike. I also got to watch Tre work his drum roadie's ass off. I got to watch Tre play catch with drumsticks with Timmy Chunks, the guitar roadie. Billie was campaigning to be mayor of Toronto, saying that there would be a six pack in every refrigerator, and drugs would be legalized. I had a great time at the show, even with the toxic fumes of Tre's burning drumset. I had an even better time, after the show, when I got to talk to the band. I got lotsa pics, a hug from Billie Joe and Mike, a pick from Mike, and a kiss on the cheek from Billie. I also had a really great conversation Billie, and if he reads this, or Adrienne, or anyone, I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart for being so nice to me. It meant the world. I was the girl with JINX written on my knuckles." |

Matt Webber: "After a 2-hour drive from Brandon to Winnipeg and a half an hour wait in line, I was finally inside the Winnipeg Stadium - at EDGEfest '98! Taking sunscreen turned out to be wise, as bodies got redder, and redder as the day wore on. Green Day kicked ass! This was my first time seeing the trio live! Wow, what a performance. Billie Joe in the devil mask singing The Beautiful People, not to mention his underwear antics during King For A Day, and then the whole bringing-the-kid-up-on-stage-to-play-guitar thing. And of course, billie joe's comments about the state of Alternative Rock & his electric guitar version of Time of Your Life! I could go on and on. The Tea Party closed the show with a really good set - pretty hard to follow Green Day, though. I wasn't able to get any autographs as the lineups were too HUGE, and getting an autograph would've meant missing out on some of the many stellar acts at EDGEfest '98!"
Aaron: "Hey, I'm here to tell you about the best fucking day of my life. The day was July 4, The place was Winnipeg Stadiam. After getting beaten and bruised in the mosh pit for six sets with bands including The foo fighters, Sloan, Creed, and Econoline crush. It was time for what i was waiting for. As Creed left the stage I stood with my best friend Travis as the crowd started to build around us. Then a very popular song started to play through the speakers... "It's not to late, to wip it, wip it good." We had a good laugh. Then BJ and Mike ran out on the stage with tre hobbeling behind with his cruches due to a broken foot. They started playing "Nice Guys Finish last" with the crowd going absolutely nuts. Trav and I got seperated right away. I got absolutely killed. Having to crawl out of the mosh pit on my hands and knees. Then songs like Hitchen a Ride and Longview followed. I forget exactly how the set went (I was to busy trying to stay alive). Then Billie started to toy with the crowd a bit (He is the greatest entertainer in the world) "On the count of three i want all you people down on the floor to turn around and give all those people in the stands the finger and yell FUCK YOU. of course the people did. Then knowledge started and from past reviews i knew what was coming next "Who knows how to play the fucking guitar, Who really knows how to play, you, ok because if you get up here and you fucking suk!, i'll throw you in the crowd and every one's gonna kick you're ass!" The guy played the song perfect. Then they started playing king for a day. BJ must have been fucking stoned because he ripped off his pants and started dancing around in a leather thong. Then they trashed the stage with tre lighting the drums on fire. For the encore BJ came out solo and played Good Ridance (Time of your life) all 35,000 people sang along it was a great feeling. " |

Drop D: "Everyone was meanwhile rushing towards the main stage, and I'm pretty sure they were just positioning themselves for Green Day, those no-good, cussing, spitting, trouser-dropping hooligans - thank God someone still remembers how to entertain an audience! They pulled heaps of stunts during their 50-minute set: Billie Joe pulled some guy from the audience to play guitar with them, poked fun at Marilyn Manson, Green Day's Mike played a little Black Sabbath, covered Op Ivy and danced around in a leopard print G-string. Oh yeah, and they also set their stuff on fire (not to be out-done by the Foo Fighters) and tossed marshmallows into the audience."
Ben Joss: "My friends and I arrived at Thunderbird Stadium at eleven o'clock in the morning. The doors opened early but we had a hour to wait to get in. People were still getting in at four in the afternoon. The first band was Copyright. They were good. We went directly to the main stage. Bif Naked was playing first. She did a pretty good show. It was a cloudy day so we didn't need to drink a lot. That was a good thing because everything was so expensive. You have to buy tokens and then trade them in for food. There were also a lot of stands selling things and there were about seven games. Green Day did a very interesting show. They got some guy out of the audience to play guitar. Steam was coming off the mosh pit. Billie the lead singer for Green Day but naked only leaving on a shirt. He did a lot of the concert with his pants down. At the end they all destroyed there instruments and burnt the drum set."
Ally: "On July 11th, 1998, I had the pleasure of seeing my favorite band, Green Day, live at EDGEfest in Thunderbird Stadium (Vancouver, BC). I tell ya, these guys know how to put on a performance! A combination of their energy, kick-ass music, and Billie Joe's amazing stage presence equals one helluva show! The songs they played were: (from NIMROD) Nice guys finish last, Hitchin' a ride, King for a day, Good Riddance (Time of your life), (from INSOMNIAC) Brainstew, Jaded, Geek Stink Breath, (from DOOKIE) Longview, Basket Case, When I come around, Welcome to paradise, (no songs from KERPLUNK. from 39/SMOOTH) Knowledge. Also included were riffs from Marilyn Manson's "Beautiful People", a bit of Metallic, a part of "Iron Man", and some of "Eye of the Tiger", and a bit of a strip show and dance from Billie Joe, during King for a day. Off with the shoes, off with the belt, off with the pants, revealing a leopard print G-string. He pranced around in that for awhile shakin' it ALL around about 10 feet from me. He went and got his guitar and played Welcome to Paradise. Also when they did Op IV's cover of Knowledge they got this guy named Crum to come up and play guitar. Then he had to do a stage dive. At the end of the show they torched the drum kit, and made alot of noise. Billie put his pants back on and returned to play Good Riddance by himself with a smoldering drum kit behind him. He left, and Tre returned to throw marshmallows, a hat, a nimrod finger, water, and nimrod stickers at us. Then it was over...I've been what some would say (and have said) a "hardcore" GD fan for about 5 years, so finally seeing them live? Let's just say my life has reached it's peak :-) (for now). Even though I took a severe beating in the mosh pit and lost my hat it was still one of the most fun (and painful) things I've ever done. Green Day's probably the only band I'd risk my life for in the pit, though. :-) If you ever get the chance to see them, GO, damnit! or drop me a line and I'll go for you. Green Day rules!!!" |

My Green Day Experience!!!
Pre-Concert Jitters
It all started Monday night, July 13, at the Outback Steakhouse at 5:00 in Anchorage, Alaska. My mom and I went there and met the two friends that I was going to the concert with, Colin Smith and Jane Kocsis, and their parents. At 6:15, Colin, Jane, and I were standing in the almost non-existent line in front of the Sullivan Arena. The concert started at 8:00, but what can we say? We wanted a good place to stand! So, we stood in line and watched as fellow Green Day fans slowly conglomerated into one long line. Colin, Jane, and I made friends with these guys that were in line ahead of us, and we ended up hanging out at the concert with them. When they finally started taking tickets at 7:05, I was the fifth person in, with Colin being fourth and Jane sixth. We received our BLUE wristbands (why on earth weren't they GREEN?!), and ran down the walkway into the arena. We were in awe. Colin and I immediately bolted over to the Green Day merchandise where we promtly bought three shirts each. We hung out somemore with the three guys from the line, whose names I can't remember, except for one (Zack). We ambled around for a little while, and met the official Green Day photographer, who said that it was pretty cool touring with the band and they were great guys.
Waiting for Green Day
We waited around until the lights went out and the opening band started at 8:10. It was some band named the Tobies, and they were alright, but they weren't Green Day. They played until 8:45, and then the lights came back on, so we just stood around somemore. We stood off to the left side, but still close to the front. Then, at nine the lights went out and people started yelling...and nothing happened. A banner that said "Green Day" came down, and people yelled more, but still nothing happened. Then, finally, at 9:05, who came out on stage, but GREEN DAY!!!
Sweating, Stench, and Noise
They came out and started playing "Nice Guys Finish Last" and everyone started yelling and bobbing and giving the sign of the beast. They finished and started right into "Hitchin' A Ride". Then Billie Joe talked for a bit and they started into another song (Note: As I was totally into this concert, I kept a setlist in order. They splooshed water out onto the audience from water bottles, and Mike had bottles of carbonated water, which he shook up and sprayed over everyone, which was great, because it was HOT in there, and it STUNK! Jane and the three guys went off and moshed, but Colin and I decided not to, since we're not the biggest people, and would likely get snapped in two. The guys would come back every once in awhile and let me sit on their shoulders to get a better view. Then, right before "King For a Day" Billie Joe took off his shoes and threw them into the audience and then took off his pants, exposing a leopard-print thong. The audience went psycho! But, then, so did we! Okay, I swear to God that this next experience happened, and I am not lying. When Billie Joe was down to his thong, I was up on this one guy's shoulders and I was the only person around me at B.J.'s eye level, and he looked directly at me and tugged on the side of his thong. I am not making this up. They played more songs, goofed off a bit, and at the end of the concert Tre kicked the crap out of his drumset and a guitar and then lit the remains on fire, then him and Mike climbed up on the speakers and splashed more water on the audience. Billie Joe had gone backstage during this part. When Tre and Mike were done they went backstage and Billie Joe came out and played two encores - "When I Come Around" and "Good Riddance". Then after the lights came back on Tre climed to the top of the bleachers and Colin and I were about ten feet away from him, but then he went behind a wall, and that was it.
The Aftermath
After the concert Colin and I headed outside to where we were supposed to meet his parents and caught up with Jane there, since we hadn't seen her since the mosh pit. We all started babbling about our experiences and what happened. Everyone in the parking lot was blasting a Green Day song from their car. It was an organized Green Day chaos. We couldn't belive what had just happened. Did we really just emerge from a Green Day concert? Is that how we got the shirts and the smell of a couple thousand other people in them? Is that why we were drenched in sweat? I didn't care about all of that. I knew it was real, and I knew it was Green Day.
Miscellaneous Stuff
The guys seemed pretty cool. Tre and Mike never talked, but Billie Joe talked up a storm. He cussed a lot, too. He'd talk in between every couple of songs, and he was big in audience participation, too. He told us to shout different stuff at the people in the bleachers, then told them to yell stuff back at us, etc. On one of the songs he asked if anyone knew how to play the guitar, and lots of people raised their hands, and he'd ask them how long they'd been playing, and on the third guy he asked him if he'd come up and play Billie's guitar while Billie sang. Well, of course the guy said yes! Billie showed him some chords while Tre and Mike jammed and the audience was cheering this guy on all the way. He did a good job, too. Afterwards, Billie told him to jump off the stage and crowd surf, which he did. The two horn players were two that had toured with No Doubt and they were dressed in a bee costume and a hotdog costume, respectively. B.J. was wearing a navy blue work shirt, black pants, and grubby tenne shoes. Tre was wearing a nimrod. tour shirt (the very same as one of the shirts that I bought), black shorts, and shoes. Mike was wearing a white shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers.
Colin's Story
It was a nice, hot day in Anchorage on July 13, 1998. Two of my friends, Brittany and Jane, as well as myself, were patiently waiting in line at the front of the Sullivan Sports Arena. We were the 5th-7th people in line, an had been waiting a good hour and a half, all for one purpose: To see the greatest band ever, Green Day, in concert. The doors opened at 7:05, and we ran into the huge room. It was like any other Sports Arena, but instead of a hardwood basketball floor, it was concrete. Then I bought shirts from the nimrod tour, and so did Brittany. Then we waited even more, talking with the kids that were first in line. At 8:05, the opening band, the Tobys or something like that (I think--heard someone say they were 38 something) and they were ok. Punk rock. I was stunned at the noise, and I covered my ears so I could save what was left of my eardrums for the main event. The main event didn't happen for another hour. After 45 minutes of the Tobys, they left and the lights went back up. Soon the large Green Day tour backdrop was raised, and everyone went crazy. At 9:05-9:10 Green Day came out, starting with 'Nice Guys Finish Last'. They played, in the following 90 minutes, not necessarily in this order, Hitchin A Ride, Geek Stink Breath, Brain Stew, Longview, Platypus, When I Come Around, Welcome to Paradise, Knowelege, King for a Day, Scattered, Good Riddance, as well as some songs by Metallica, Bush, and Slayer. I might have forgotten one or two, but no one is perfect... All in all, it was great. And I'd definitely do it again. |

HeauBeau: "I think it was 1998 when I saw them at a festival in Washington called Endfest. The End is a radio station in Seattle and every year they do a big festival called Endfest. Although the station was in Seattle, back in these days the show took place in Bremerton, which is close to Seattle geographically, but any method of travel is time consuming. On the year in question, Green Day and The Crystal Method were headlining, and Green Day were LATE. I was standing off to the side of the stage and could see behind it. Eventually, a taxi pulls up and Billie Joe gets out. Apparently, Billie Joe was in a bar in Seattle, thinking the show would be somewhere near. At some point, he figured that he either be getting to the show, or that the show was far away, and he hopped in a taxi, which took him the 60 miles to the Bremerton fairgrounds. He did, I believe, give his guitar away. And they lit the drums ablaze."
"I saw Greenday at the EndFest Concert in Bremerton Washington on Aug. 1st 1998, and it was great! The concert was outside in the kitsap county fairgrounds, with thousands and thousands of people in attendance. My friends and I got real close to the stage, maybe 15-20 feet away. I didn't think we would be in the mosh area. Unfourtunately, I was wrong. At around 6:45 the crowd started going nuts, plastic water bottles were being thrown all over the place, and people were chanting "greenday! greenday!". Then Mike and Tre rushed out on stage and the place just went crazy. Billy Joe appeared wearing a black suit and hair coloured blond, he then proceeded to prance around waiving his arms. Then they started playing. Suddenly I was pushed forward and I was in this giant mosh pit. I don't care what you say, moshing is for idiots! I got out as fast as I could. I wanted to enjoy the music, not get trampled on by hundreds of people. Anyway, I got out and watched the great set (in some sort of order): Nice Guys Finish Last, Hitchin' a Ride, Longview, King for a Day, Brainstew/Jaded, Geekstink Breath, Welcome to Paradise, Basketcase, Time of Your Life. Billy was swearing like crazy because he knew he was being broadcast live on 107.7 the end. He was saying "F-" alternative music, "F" metal
music (they did impressions of metallica & slayer). Then he got the crowd to say stuff like "you suck" and "kiss my f- ass". BJ also put on a red devil mask and started singing "beautiful people". At the begginning of King 4 a Day, he ripped his pants off and showed everyone his black leather thong. After a bit of ass wiggling, he brought this kid up from Port Townsend to play guitar. I wanted to play so bad (because I play guitar), but he picked the kid close to the stage. BJ kissed him on the lips and then showed him the chords. Then at the end of the 3 chord song he made the kid dive off the stage. They finished off by braking all their stuff and starting it on fire. Then billy came out and sang time of your life. It was like a freakshow, it was probably one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I got like 10 feet away. GREENDAY rules, they aren't sell outs -- they just have talent and anyone who thinks otherwise can lick my sweaty left nut." |

pogopop: "The Zillo show was very cool! This festival is attended mainly by goths/industrial music fans who passionately hate punk music. Tough crowd for Green Day, I guess. They had to played after Rammstein - metal band which was at the very peak of its popularity in Germany. But Green Day somehow managed to pull it off! Billie Joe worked the crowd well, making everyone clap, move, sing and shout accompanied by drumrolls, courtesy of Tre Cool. At first, people were bummed but then they cheered up. During King For A Day Billie took off his pants to show off his leopard print G-string. Towards the end of Green Day's set Tre Cool set his drums on fire. Everyone was amazed by his bold move. They have left their mark in the history of Zillo Festival."

pogopop: "The club's walls were plastered with Green Day stickers. The club in question was tiny, holding 300 comfortably. I was used to seeing GD performing in huge arenas in front of at least 15,000 people - 500 metres was about as close as I could get. I was really surprised the stage was attached to the dancefloor and the front row was half a metre from the band. Before the show Tre and Mike signed autographs and took photos with the fans. They were really humble and down to earth. Billie Joe was in good mood and did a lot of crazy stuff. Halfway through Knowledge Billie brought Lorenzo on stage to play the guitar. Before the last song, Tre jumped on the drumset and fell on the floor. When he stood up his forehead was bleeding profusely. Tre continued to jump on the drumset, even though everyone was worried whether he was OK." |

pogopop: "The support group was Terrorgruppe. The front row was packed with girls screaming BJ's name. They wrote their phone numbers on his arm (Billie Joe was a little annoyed by them). Tre wore a pair of boxer shorts on his head. I don't know if his wound from the day before got better, though. Green Day were laughing their asses off when they saw him. Billie stuck the microphone into his underpants. Tre as always destroyed his drumkit again and Mike kept quiet. Halfway through Knowledge Billie chose a girl named Myria to play guitar. She was really good. The band really liked her. Right after the concert the band tried to invite her backstage, trying to shout her name over the fangirls' obsene proposals, but she had just left." |

pogopop: "The place was kind of tiny, it could hold up to 400 people comfortably. My position was always that of the first row to the left, in front of BJ. We arrived very early, around 5pm, during Green Day's soundcheck. For 5 minutes alone I have witnessed the spectacle of the band playing just for me (Stuck With Me and Nice Guys Finish Last) ... only that the security saw me and asked me to go outside. During the concert Terrorgruppe joined Green Day to perform Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop! What a thrill! People went crazy, everyone jumped, and sang pogavano. I think it was a unique opportunity! Billie Joe chose a fan named Andreas, to play Knowledge and Stuck With Me. He was really great, although when he was asked to do a stagedive, he failed to do so and just fell off. The club was stifling from the heat because there was no ventilation. Billie gave us water bottles to quench our thirst and jumped off the stage and offered Lorenzo a beer ('this is just for you!') and kissed us. I had a slight fever and took a pill that made me drowsy. After the show, when I had the chance to meet BJ whom I wanted to meet for 5 years (thanks Max, Terrorgruppe's roadie) I was completely destroyed. I felt stupid. I was so excited and had a lot of questions to ask him. But I only could come up with 2 or 3 words in English." |

NME: "Green Day, who followed a typically raucous and incendiary set by Iggy Pop (pictured), caused extensive damage to V98’s Main Stage on Saturday after setting fire to their drum kit at the end of their set. Site fire officers were called to the side of the stage when fire engulfed the drum riser and threatened to spread across the stage. Black smoke could be seen belching from the top of the structure.
V98 promoter Bob Angus says over a hundred pounds’ worth of damage was done to electrical cables in the incident which he put down to “high-jinks”. The band were unaware of the chaos they’d caused onstage as they were outfront crowd-surfing at the time." |

"...And then, to an intro tape, it's the Green Day. Heroes. 'Green Day, Green Day'. Ah, I don't think I've heard a chant like that for a band since the triumphant days of Maiden in the 80s. And they're off and running. Billie appears to be having a ball. Game show host. Or rock star icon. Whichever, he's nicked a Metallica speech for between songs, whether his tongue is totally in cheek or not. It's fun. Only owning the Dookie album, I didn't recognise all the new songs, or at least non-Dookie songs. But it went down well, though of course not as well as Longview, or Basket Case etc. But that's OK. We get the people in costumes playing trumpets, snippets of Beautfiul People, Green Day becoming the metal band Green Death and ripping out all of 10 seconds of Master Of Puppets and the intro to Iron Man. Ah, I know. I should get pissed off at this juncture. Taking the piss out of metal, just acknowledge you're influenced by it, like pretty much most modern punk. You know my rants by now. But I'm going to restrain. I mean, if they are taking the piss, well, why? I mean, if you give up your hatred for something so much, then they are winning. Whenever you have to direct your hate towards someone or something, they win. And you're the loser. And yep, I'm a loser quite often! The crowd is encouraged to sing-a-long-a-Billie at most opportunities, plenty of rock star posturing, and the kid is dragged out of the crowd to play guitar. Geek Stink Breath, 2,000 Light Years Away are titles I remember. She comes into view, and there's like 2000 happy punk kids, rejoicing in their triumph. Time Of Your Life is perfectly positioned as the final song of the night, and anarchy can return to the streets once more. All in all, a fun packed evening. Just as music should be. The amounts of sweat that walked out at the end is testimony to that. But wait a minute. Aren't Green Day making a pantomine out of punk? Sold out. Making a mockery. After all, there were more elements about this that were like metal in the '80s. The intro tape, the sing a long, the almost rehersed bits, how spontaneous was it all? 'That's not punk,' I hear you purists cry. They sold out a 2,000-seater. That's not punk. Keep it pure, keep it anarchaic. Keep it underground. Uh, so like if the punk rule is that you can't do any of that, then surely the punk band that does so is being MORE punk than anything. After all, it's two fingers to the establishment when the establishment is the punk police. Does it matter that they had fun? No, since when was that an offence. Playing to all those people, sell out? How? I mean, 2000 people out of, what, 55 million in this country? That's hardly majority. It doesn't matter if punk bands play to 10,000 people, it's still fighting against the majority, against mainstream. Some don't think punk should be played to so many. It's not a problem how many they play to, it's only a problem that you lose the intimacy. It's a problem only when some of the people don't share the same ideals as the purists. And that's not the band's fault. It does piss me off seeing so many people here tonight that just won't go and support other lesser known punk (or any other style of music) bands and as much as I'll rant about it, in terms of attitude it's my problem. That's what annoys me. But it's not the band's fault, and it's not a sign of sellout. The band doesn't control its audience. I mean, how many punk bands would want me as a fan? Cos I'm not pure! I'm not punk! I'm metal, ain't I? The two don't mix, that's why they all have to have the 'let's take the piss' section. But no band controls me. They could make the most punk album ever, and if I like it, they have no control over that. So that doesn't make them a sell out. Oh, you don't like the music. Ah, so that's it. But music is subjective, we all like different things. So it can't actually be used as an argument for punkness or sell out. Green Day are doing things on a different level. They are doing it on their terms. They are doing some things that will piss off the purists. What could be more punk than that?" |

lowlove.nl: "Green Day. Billie Joe and co. were wrapping their world tour. When they pulled a fan on stage to play a song, the trio laughed when everyone chanted, 'Jerry! Jerry!' The fan was indeed named Jerry, as in Jerry Springer - the host of a popular talk show. Well, that was a rather insignificant memory." |

Rolling Stone: "Green Day injected a welcome dose of young snot, stealing the first half of the show with thrash-acoustic takes on favorites like When I Come Around."
Sonicnet: "MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. — Hometown punk rockers Green Day proved unplugged doesn't have to mean sedate Saturday on the first day of Neil Young's 13th annual Bridge School Benefit. Nearly two hours after Young opened the concert with his customary miniset, including his standard Bridge show opener, I Am a Child, Green Day stormed the stage with a galloping acoustic punk version of Geek Stink Breath from their 1995 album Insomniac. Moments before the show, Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and dark green khakis, walked in with a toddler in hand as his wife brought up the rear with their infant child in a stroller. The toddler could later be seen dancing at stage right as her punk-rock dad snarled the lyrics to such Green Day hits as She and When I Come Around." |

Jeff: "The beginning of the day sucked, it was literally hotter than hell here in Phoenix, so don't move here. Me and my buddies moved around looking for something to do, so I ended up buying a Weezer and Green Day shirt. Green Day came out stoked and ready to play. Although I do have got to admit they were a little rusty. It was already crazy when Green Day took over the stage, people swarmed over, and it was more packed then it had ever been. Billie barked a few times and did his patented scream. He asked us if we had seen sheriff Joe Arpaio, and we were told to scream, 'Fuck sheriff Joe!' a few times. During Knowledge he had some kid come up and play the guitar. The kid was pretty good, he knew how to play it, and even did a little solo at the end. Billie made fun of him, and also kissed him right on the smacker. Then he told the kid that he had to stagedive into the crowd. Then after When I Come Around, the last song, Tre jumped over his drum set, started breaking all his drums and Mike chucked his bass in the air. Tre meanwhile was still bashing his drums, and then went for some lighter fluid, poured it all over his drum set, and lit it on fire. They left. And then I went home because I was really tired. Great show!" |

Mole Tracks: "Another year, another Warped Tour. Except this year, one of the dates happened to be right in my backyard of Ventura, at the good ol' fairgrounds. Which meant that I wouldn't have to struggle to find a ride to a venue three-plus hours away, nor would I have to endure a long ride to and from the festival, and Seaside Park being, well, seaside, meant that the weather would not be as blistering hot as it usually is for the all day outdoor concert. Actually, it was still pretty fucking hot, but oh well, it's Warped Tour, and this year the lineup was probably the best it has ever been: Jurassic 5, NOFX, Long Beach Dub All-Stars, and, just added a few weeks prior, Weezer! Not to mention Green Day, who I wanted to see just to be able to say I saw them. Just a few years ago, it was considered completely unhip to like Green Day, those sellout, wannabe punk rock brats. However, with the trio having been out of the public eye for a few years, it was time for all the hypocritical 'punk' kids who dyed their hair purple when Dookie blew up then denounced the band by the time they released their last album, Nimrod, to roll out the red carpet for them and pretend they've supported Green Day for the past six years. I myself, I admit, bought Dookie in 6th grade, and later their older albums, and even purchased their follow up, Insomniac. I've since sold those albums as my musical taste has changed, but I've never jumped on the 'Green Day are the worst band ever' bandwagon, nor have I aligned myself with the 'It's so dorky to like Green Day that it's cool now' group, either. I was down in the pit with the excited masses, singing along to every song simply because I knew I wouldn't be able to contain myself from doing so anyway -- Green Day was a pretty big part of my junior high school years, after all (though I was always more of an Offspring fan). There were some guys who were trying to look hard by staring stone-faced at Billie Joe and the rest of the band as if they hated them, but I caught them mouthing the words to Longview and Basket Case. Green Day refrained from playing anything from Kerplunk! or 1039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours (with the exception of their cover of Operation Ivy's "Knowledge," during which they invited someone from the crowd - who turned out to be Armand from local Oxnard band the Whereabouts - to play guitar) or any new songs; instead, they played it safe and packed their set with all the singles everyone knows: Welcome To Paradise, Geek Stink Breath, Hitching A Ride, etc. Hey, at least they know their place with the nostalgic fans. Luckily they chose not to perform their acoustic attempt to cross into Matchbox 20-ish territory, Good Riddance, because there probably would've been a riot. They ended appropriately with "When I Come Around," then proceeded to go all arena rock and light Tre's drumset on fire. Well, that was stupid, but still, it's hard to truly hate Green Day. Their show didn't persuade me to rush out and re-buy all their albums or anything, but seeing Billie Joe run across the stage, smiling wickedly, blissfully aware of the novelty act they're becoming, and lead the crowd in a fist-pumping session, and the fact that I was doing it along with everyone else, made me laugh more than just about anything the whole day." |

"I'm not sure what order they played the songs in but I remembered what they played. They played Welcome To Paradise, Longview, Hitchin' A Ride, Jaded, Knowledge, Basket Case, and When I Come Around. The show kicked ass. Green Day was the main event. The stage was packed the most when Green Day performed. Inbetween songs Billie Joe announced, 'Oh yeah, welcome to the Warped Tour 2000. This is our bassist Mike Dirnt and our drummer Tre Cool, and I'm an asshole.' Then they started playing again and the concert was great. After they played I was beat and I went home."
"It was so cool. Everyone went crazy! They played Welcome to Paridise, Hitchin' A Ride, Longview, Brain Stew, Jaded, Geek Stink Breath, Basket Case, Knowledge, and When I Come Around. Billie Joe got a guy out of the crowd to play guitar on Knowledge. Then he made him stage dive. Mike and Billie were running around the stage doing funky dances and making some wierd faces. Billie Joe had everyone singing and yelling hey hey hey, ect. The coolest part for me though was every time Tre would look in my direction I'd wave my hat and go crazy. After I had done this a couple of times he looked at me kinda laughed and stuck out is tounge. It was very rad."
"So there they were and there I was, a small distance away from each other. They started out with Welcome To Paradise, then Knowledge, Brain Stew, Jaded, and Longview (don't rememer in which order) but then everyone wanted to get closer. The crowd got so tense and my shoulders couldn't stand it, I had to get out. It really sucked I couldn't see them because of the sun's glare. In a way, it was worth it because right when they finished When I Come Around, Tré burned his drums and walked inside the trailer beside the stage, which I happened to be next to, Mike showed up there too. These are small (maybe meaningless) details I'm adding because I'm happy to say that they looked right at me and waved!"
"Right before Green Day took the stage, we all started chanting, 'Green Day! Green Day!' Then there they come, Tre running out all crazy, then Mike and then Billie. They started out with Welcome To Paradise, then Hitchin' A Ride, Geek Stink Breath, Longview, Brain Stew, Jaded, Knowledge, Basket Case, and When I Come Around. They all, throughout the show, made their crazy face expressions, Billie struck a one leg up in the air pose and Tre was just banging away on the drums. For Knowledge he asked whether anyone knew how to play guitar. He walked around, looked at the people that had their arms up, including me. He looked at somebody to my right for a while, so I thought my chance of playing up there with Green Day was over. Then, all of a sudden, he shifted his look on me. He asked me whether I knew how to play the guitar and I replied, 'Hell yeah!' Well, yeah, he chose me to go up there to play Knowledge on Blue. It was truly the time of my life." |

Marissa: "Literally as soon as Green Day came out, everyone started moshing. Green Day played Geek Stink Breath, Welcome To Paradise and a lot of other songs from Insomniac and Dookie. They played for about 25 minutes." |

Joe Reeder: "Damn, I was the turd with the great haircut they pulled up during Knowledge. I never even saw a picture of that, but, hey look, a video! Thanks for sharing this, dude."
Eric Marks: "So in the year 2000 videotaping shows was still pretty frowned on. We had to sneak in large body cameras, tapes, battery packs and all sorts of camouflage. I decided to risk a day time bootleg of Warped Tour: an entity that frowned on video taping entirely. But I went up to Boreal with my friends Louie and Jim Wilson and was determined to tape anyway. It was gnarly. I ended up with NOFX, Green Day and Snapcase. The crowds were huge and rowdy." |

Tim Van Schmidt: "Searing upper nineties heat made it a challenge to take advantage of the diverse line-up for this year’s Warped Tour. Two big things, however, made the effort worth while. The first was the opportunity to see Green Day compress their pop punk intensity into a single 30-minute set, ending their energetic romp by setting the drum kit on fire. The second was the rapid-fire production that kept bands like Anti-Flag, the Lunachicks, MXPX, and the Mighty, Mighty Bosstones in constant rotation."
"Seeing Green Day at the Warped Tour in Brighton was a life and death experience for me, but obviously I lived. They were scheduled to play at 4:00, after the Mighty Mighty Bosstones set, so I figured I had some time to walk around near backstage and try to meet them. As I walked by a tour bus window, Tre Cool appeared in some funky glasses. I was like, 'Woah! There's Tre Cool!' He started throwing picks out and luckily I nabbed one. The green pick turned out to be Mike Dirnt's. So that was very cool, but now it was time to try to get to the front to see Green Day. I pushed my way to the front on the right side of the stage. I was holding on to the barrier, and my disposable camera was in hand. I was ready for the experience of my life, but first the Bosstones had to play. Then it happened. Billie Joe Armstrong came out on the stage. People started screaming and yelling! He was wearing the red shirt with black tie that I guess he's been wearing every day at Warped. By the time Mike and Tre came out, I was already getting pushed against the metal barrier. When all three were ready, they hit things off with Welcome To Paradise. The music and vocals sounded amazing. After a long day of hearing indie bands and bad mixes, Green Day's polished mix sounded like heaven. I managed to take a few pictures of the whole band from my angle, but they were mostly of Mike, because he was the closest to me. Next was either Geek Stink Breath or Hitchin' A Ride. About three or four crowdsurfers had already passed directly over me and the moshing was out of control. I was getting pressed so hard against the barrier that I couldn't breathe for about half of the time. But this was hard to pay attention to when one of the greatest bands ever is a few feet from you. one of the next songs was Longview, obviously a crowd favorite. Crowd Surfers were landing on me now, and they hit my head a few times. The security guard kept asking me if I was OK. I said yes, because there was no way I was gonna get pulled out of Green Day! Sometime during Longview, Billie Joe came over to right side, directly in front of me. He was just standing there, holding his guitar, and so I quickly took a picture. I guess he saw me take the picture because after he looked right at me, made a big smile and said cheese. I was like, 'Woah! Billie Joe just said cheese to me!' Anyways, I hope that pic turns out good. Next song was Brain Stew and that's when my fate settled. Two more crowd surfers dropped on me, which was painful, but I ignored it the best I could. The guy kept asking if I was OK, he could carry me out, I said I was fine. A few minutes later someone stepped on my shoe and I look down, and right at that moment a crowd surfer kicked the back of my head, propelling me into the metal barrier. I don't really remember what happened after that. The next thing I recall is being carried out of the pit, and taken between the stage and the crowd. The security guards gave me some water and made sure I was OK. Brain Stew was over then and Billie Joe was talking. He said something like, 'Hey, watch out for each other in there. The big kids watch out for the little ones. We don't want anybody to get hurt.' Then he looked at me and smiled. Ah! I would go through that a thousand times again just for that smile. Well, maybe. So that's that. I got a pick from Tre, I got to see Green Day, I got a large bump on my forehead, cuts on my knees from barrier, and my lungs still hurt. All in all, an excellent day!" |

"I stood over on the side waiting for Green Day to come on, then they came out and the crowd went insane. I was right off to the side taking tons of pictures when Mike Dirnt came over to the end of the stage and posed for me. Billie Joe brought some guy on stage to play his guitar and sing."
greenday.net: "I got a chance to ask Mike a question. I asked him if they were going to play Warning at the show. He said, 'No. But we might play Napster Of Puppets.' They never did play either song, but that was cool. At the Alternative Press booth, they had little cards with a photo of the Green Day issue on the front and on the back, with tour dates, but unfortunately they had posted the old Texas dates. I also got some very sweet backstage photos of the guys. They went on at about 6:45 PM, and opened the show with Welcome to Paradise. They then smashed into Hitchin' A Ride, where Billie Joe yelled out to the crowd, 'What's up Minnea-Minnea-Minnea-Minnea-Minneapolis!?' They finished the song and then he announced, 'Oh, I'm drunk!' Mike responded with, 'I think that makes three of us.' Mike also was wondering where the 5-foot penis that the band threw into the pit to start the show had wandered off to. They then played Geek Stink Breath and Longview, and then hit Brain Stew and Jaded. They then broke into their old school cover of Operation Ivy's Knowledge, where they called upon a 15-year-old dude to assist in guitaring, while Billie Joe concentrated completely on his vocals and stage antics. After the guitarist did a stage dive off the second stage of the Vans Warped tour, they went into Basket Case, and ended the show with When I Come Around. Tre then, without thinking twice, jumped through his set of drums, smashing the piss out of them, and then poured lighter fluid all over. The set went up in flames, and anyone who missed out missed one hell of a show."
"Ah, the smell of sweat, smoke, and food... All part of the Vans Warped Tour I went to in Minneapolis this afternoon. Oh, the things I put up with for Green Day. The whole day was basically buying souvenirs and watching skaters and bikers do awesome stunts. I got a black Green Day tank top with red letters. Me and my friend Hillary were waiting for Green Day in the crowd. She held me up on her shoulders so I could see. The other band was taking forever to finish. And then ... GREEN DAY! They ran up to the stage and everyone screemed. Especially me at the top of my lungs, being it the first time I had seen my heroes! I was in shock. Up on Hillary's shoulders, I was in clear veiw and as Billie looked around at the crowd, I was sure he saw me! At least for a second! Then I took a picture. They started playing Welcome to Paradise, and at that moment, I was ripped off Hillary's shoulders and hurled to the ground as everyone was moshing like MAD! I was being thrown and kicked and beaten, but it was sure fun! When I realized I couldn't breathe and huge guys were landing on top of me, I knew I had to get out. So I went back further where I took some more pictures. I lost Hillary, but after the concert, I found her. After I got out, my hair was messy, I lost my spikey bracelet which I loved, my foot was a bloody mess from being crushed, I was limping, and got a little bruised. God, was it ever worth it! Billie Joe had a 15-year-old boy come up to play Knowledge with him! It was the sweetest thing when they hugged on stage! I was jealous, but I know I can't play guitar very well. This other poor kid was in a stretcher after the thing. Billie Joe goes, 'Minneapol-apol-apol-apolis! Damnit, St. Paul is here too.' Yeah, that's why they call it the Twin Cities." |

John Soeder: "When drummer Bud Gaugh of the Long Beach Dub Allstars looks at the crowd at any given stop on the Vans Warped tour, he sees a rainbow coalition of sorts. 'You got kids with blue hair, kids with pink hair, kids with dreadlocks, skinheads in suspenders, straight-edge kids and heavy-metal kids. ... It's America, the big melting pot,' says Gaugh. Now in its sixth year, the Warped tour stops today at Nautica Stage in Cleveland's Flats. Among the 32 bands on the punk-oriented bill are Green Day, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones and NOFX. ... Most Warped bands play some form of punk, although they come at it from different angles. Green Day packs plenty of pop appeal into its loud, fast ditties."
"Green Day played at 6:00. They were awesome! Billie Joe was his usual talkative and silly self. He was wearing his same black shirt and red tie, Mike was wearing an AC/DC shirt, and Tre was wearing a Warning shirt. They started out with Welcome To Paradise. For Knowledge, Billie pulled out a 17-year-old girl from Kentucky. She wasn't that great but she might have been nervous, I would have been! They messed up the end of Disappearing Boy but Billie just laughed because they hadn't practiced that in a while. They played Disappearing Boy and Going To Pasalacqua at the request of the crowd. Before Going To Pasalacqua was over, Billie stopped the song to make the crowd help an injured mosher. This was the second time he did that. After the last song, Mike trashed his bass and Tre trashed his drums and attempted to start a fire with them. Then they left just as quickly as they came in (10 minutes later than they were supposed to). Definitely an awesome show."
"Me and my friend got to Nautica around 1:00, and some retards told us Green Day's bus wasn't coming until 3:30. So, we waited and waited and waited... After meeting Green Day the last two times I saw them play, I had very high expectations for this show. At 4:00 we found out that Green Day's bus had been there the whole time! I was very mad, to say the least. So we snuck under some semi trucks, and were in with all the buses. Only one problem... Which bus was theirs? After talking to a lot of people, and getting yelled at numerous times by idiots because we didn't have passes to be here, a nice guy told us that Green Day were signing autographs! My friend and I ran over to where they were, and got in a long line. The security guy cut the line off right behind us, so we were the last ones that would get to meet them. Too bad nothing works out like it's supposed to. When there was about five people left in front of us, Green Day jumped out from the table and started signing autographs for the people who got cut off. Tre poured water all over my head, and then I got a pic of us, Mike and Billie (my friend always takes the pics). But I didn't get to talk to Billie AT ALL, I was so upset. A little more waiting, and it was time to go to the stage they were playing at. They played Welcome To Paradise, Longview, Hitchin' A Ride, Geek Stink Breath, When I Come Around, a little Ozzy, a little Sweet Home Alabama and a lot more that I don't remember. But the best was Disappearing Boy. Billie had to ask Tre if he remembered how to play it! During a couple of the songs Billie just stopped because people were getting hurt. It was so awesome. And they brought some girl up to play the guitar for the Op Ivy song, Knowledge. At the end Billie asked where she was from and she said Kentucky. Everyone started booing her, and Billie and Mike were like, 'That's Kentucky, Ohio. You know where it is, that little suburb outside of Cleveland.' It was so funny! After that I figured I wasn't going to meet him this time. But we finally figured out where their bus was! First we saw Tre, he took his dirty smelly beer-covered Warning shirt off, and threw it to my friend. She of course gave it to me, so I have Tre's shirt, I can't stop smelling it, I LOVE IT! Mike came out and was sweeter than sweet, as always. I got 3 picks from him, and he signed my picture. He had this awesome skateboard with his name on it. It was cool. I had to leave at 8:00, but Billie still hadn't come out. Actually, he did, but only for a second. I decided at 8:15, I was leaving no matter what, I couldn't stay any longer. I would wait forever for Billie, but I just couldn't. And at 8:15, guess who came out! Finally, after everything I had gone through, there he was. I shook his hand and he signed my picture. I asked him for a pick. It was so cute, he said he didn't have any with him, but there are some left the bus, and he'd bring me one later. I explained I had to go, but I'd see him the 18th and 19th. I can't stand how fucking awesome he is!" |

Stephanie: "We were one of the first people to show up! Four hours later they let us in and I ran to the empty stage where they were playing at 5:30! All day long I waited and then they came on - I saw Mike and screamed. Then Billie Joe came out riding on Tre. They played songs off of all 5 CD's! Billie Joe also showed he cared when he told us to help up the people who fell. None of the other band said that. I was front row, dead center the whole show and I will never forget it!" |

Setlist is out of order. Unknown NOFX and Weezer covers (most likely just teases) were played as well.
Greenday.net: "Green Day played an amazing, secret 90 minute set on Friday in London"
Gillian G. Gaar: "The next day, they taped an appearance with Radio 1's Steve Lamacq, and performed that night at King's College in London. The set was a mix of songs from Warning, older songs like "Longview", and more off the-cuff numbers-- as when, after asking the audience, "What cover song do you wanna hear?" Billie Joe answered his own question, playing Generation X's 'Dancing With Myself', confessing afterwards, "We only do this when we've been drinking a lot." For their part, the audience drank to the point where beer began to be hurled at the group; Billie Joe merely closed his eyes when he was soaked and kept on singing. Their last song of the night was The Sex Pistols' 'Holidays In The Sun'. Billie Joe later told writer Ben Myers the gig was, "The best show we've ever played in the UK," and the reviewers agreed.
"Give or take Nirvana, Green Day are the best three-piece band to come out of America since the Stray Cats. Okay, now I've got your attention, I can rave about this riot of a small London gig arranged at short notice to vibe up fans and Radio One Evening Session listeners about Warning the group's fourth release from Warner Brothers. Actually, my opening statement is not that far-fetched. Green Day open with a blistering Welcome To Paradise but, as they settle into the swagger of Hitchin' A Ride, Stray Cat Strut does indeed spring to mind while Billie Joe Armstrong's honest lyrics (Church On Sunday, Misery) convey some of the frustrations but none of the despair of Kurt Cobain's. With his hair dyed black, his skinny tie and his red shirt, Billie Joe Armstrong is the little kid who came good, who reveres The Jam and Stiff Little Fingers and still sings in an English accent when so many Brits are busy aping the Yanks. Watching him, it's comforting to know that there's a corner of California that will forever be Anarchy In The UK. In fact, as if to prove my point, he soon throws out what set list there is and asks the audience: What cover song do you wanna hear? I jokingly tell a friend Dancing With Myself and, when the band launch into the driving intro of the Gen X/Billy Idol classic, I do a double take. I have no idea how I came to make that educated guess and the serendipity makes their heady rendition all the more enjoyable, especially when Armstrong admits: We only do this when we've been drinking a lot. Later, when the diminutive frontman teases the invited audience about a Sex Pistols song, I hope for my favourite Holidays In The Sun and get my wish. Telepathy or what? Green Day may be a bunch of goofy bastards but they're tight as hell too even when they invite three fans to replace them one by one, thus proving that anyone can do this. Rancid, The Offspring and Blink 182 do this too but nowhere near as well as Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool, the true heirs to The Ramones spirit (yes I know, punk has ping-ponged back and forth across the Atlantic). At the time of Dookie, some critics dismissed Green Day as a cartoon act. They ate their words when Basket Case tapped into the teenage psyche with Blood, Sex And Booze now likely to do the same. Now, odd influences creep in like the Bob Dylan-style harmonica on Hold On and the title track of their new album sounds uncannily like Joe Jackson 20 years ago. In fact Minority, the singalong single, is the worst track they play tonight. Last encore is When I Come Around. Billie Joe sees the contents of a pint glass flying towards him, shuts his eyes, gets drenched and smiles gleefully without missing a cue. Punk rock indeed!"
NME: Green Day last night (September 15) debuted a number of tracks from their forthcoming sixth album, ‘WARNING’, during a hush-hush invite-only gig at KINGS COLLEGE LONDON.
New songs unveiled to the eager 500 fans were single ‘Minority’, plus ‘Church On A Sunday’, ‘Blood, Sex & Booze’, ‘Waiting’, and the album title track ‘Warning’.
During the 90-minute set, recorded for future broadcast on Steve Lamacq’s ‘Evening Session’ show on BBC Radio 1, Billie Joe, Tre and Mike also blasted through old favourites and played covers by the likes of NOFX, Operation Ivy, Weezer, Billy Idol, and The Sex Pistols. The band’s loyal fans also regularly drenched the trio in pints of cider.
Frontman Billie Joe found time between tracks to jibe wryly on the petrol crisis and comment on the Napster situation – ‘Warning’ has been widely pirated and is freely available to download from the Internet.
“You shouldn’t download Metallica music off Napster,” he quipped to widespread applause, before adding, “the best things in life are free.”
The band climaxed the show with Mike Dirnst and Tre Cool comprehensively trashing their drums and bass guitar. |

Greenday.com: "Green Day, one of today's hottest bands,is gearing up for an exclusive LIVE concert Webcast on October 4th at 9:00 pm ET/6:00 pm PT! Tune in to Entertaindom's Concert Series to see the show and hear music from the band's newest cd, Warning, along with many of their top hits. Don't worry if you miss it, this show will be on demand. You can find the link to the Entertaindom's Concert Series by going to our links area."
Greenday.net: "Greetings from New York. The Roseland show was amazing. Green Day played a bunch of new songs from Warning. The set list included:Minority, Church on Sunday, Hitchin a Ride, Nice Guys Finish Last, Longview, Castaway, Disappearing Boy, Sweet Home Alabama, Only of you, Christie Road, 86, All By Myself, Dominated Love Slave, Who Wrote Holden Caufield, 409 in your Coffee Maker, Brat, Dancin with Myself, Blitzkrieg Bop, Basket Case, She, Scattered, Blood Sex & Booze, Warning, Waiting, When I Come Around. They played for over two hours. After the show I talked to the band and they were great. I also saw them at TRL earlier in the day."
David: "My friend Billy and I drove from Cincinnati Ohio for this show. Let me tell you it was well worth it. We got in NYC on the night of the second of October. We found a hotel room and got up the next morning to see Green Day on Letterman, and listen to Howard Stern. We met the guys outside of Letterman. The next day we say them on TRL then got in line for the free show at the Roseland. We met some cool kids in NYC to hang with before the show and played a couple of rounds of Uno. We went into the show and watched girls flash their tits at us for a good hour or so before the band came out. When they came out the crowd went nuts as the burst into Minority. They played for a good bit then left the stage after Platypus (I
hate you), Then came out again to do a four song encore. It was simply amazing. By far the best show I have ever seen. I walked out of their with my pants legs ripped all the way up to my ass, out of breath, sweating profussily, and smelling of Blood, Beer, Piss, Smoke, and Sweat. Even though we almost ran out of money, and almost didn't make it home, I still had the best time I have ever had. We met the coolest people from Harlem, Bronx, and Brookland. If any of you guys read this, thanks for the greatest time of our lives, and send me an email sometime [email protected] -- Dave and Billy" |

Setlist out of order
Paul: "Green Day played an awesome gig last night in Sydney to a packed out Hordern Pavilion. The set list goes something like this in no particular order: Disappearing Boy, Going to Pasalacqua, Knowledge, Christie road, Welcome to paradise, Longview, Basket case, She, When I Come around, F.O.D., Geek stink Breath, Jaded, Brain Stew, Hitchin A Ride, Platypus (i hate you), King for a day, Scattered, Time of your Life, Minority, Castaway, Church on Sunday and Waiting. In addition Green Day played a minute or two of Sweet Home Alabama. The whole set lasted for an hour and 45 minutes during which a fan from the audience got to play Platypus (i hate you) and Billie Joe had half the crowd Screaming fuck you, and the other half screaming back, Go fuck your Mums. For the finale, Tre Cool, after smashing his drum kit with a Little help from mike d, climbed on top of a speaker 2 metres high, and threw his drum down. All in all, a kick ass concert" |

Billie Joe Armstrong: "It was supposed to be a 'million band march.' It didn't quite make it to a million bands… A lot of my friends were getting thrown out of Downtown Rehearsal Studios, a place that bands had been practicing for years, because the new owners wanted to raise all the rents. That sort of hit home with me because it was about music and art, and it wasn't just that studio; every day you could read in the paper how it was getting worse and worse for musicians in San Francisco. Rents were skyrocketing, even to the point where clubs were having a hard time staying open. After a while it starts to piss you off, and I thought my band could at least help bring attention to the issue. It's funny, because there a guy who buys and sells property who hangs out at my mom's work, and he was telling her, 'Oh, your son doesn't understand.' Well, that’s obviously coming from someone who doesn't see the other side, that's never even been on the other side, that doesn’t know what it's like to be thrown out of where you live."
MTV: "The members of Green Day may no longer have any trouble paying their rents, but the multiplatinum pop-punks will play a free show on Sunday in San Francisco in solidarity with musicians who do. The Berkeley, California, band's performance will be part of an event protesting the Bay Area's rising rents and what organizers say is an increasingly inhospitable climate for artists. '[Green Day are] very committed to the community. They stayed here; they're supporters of the music scene,' said Ian Brennan, the event's promoter. As previously announced, Metallica's Kirk Hammett will speak at the event, which will also include performances from rockers Creeper Lagoon and former American Music Club frontman Mark Eitzel. Former Dead Kennedys singer Jello Biafra has canceled his planned performance, however. As San Francisco's economy has boomed in recent years, city residents have faced some of the country's highest rents, which make it difficult for many artists to stay in the area. Recently, some of the city's most popular rehearsal studios have closed down, leaving musicians without practice space. Sunday's event, dubbed Take Back San Francisco, will also include a 'Million Band March', with musicians marching from the city's Mission neighborhood to City Hall. Green Day are expected to begin their set at 4:30 p.m. at San Francisco's Civic Center Plaza. The concert will be broadcast live on Berkeley's KPFA-FM radio."
MTV (Richard B. Simon): "Green Day parked their amplifiers outside City Hall on Sunday, rallying for a local music scene that’s had trouble surviving the city’s burgeoning Internet boom.
“I think that there’s been a lot of damage done, and you can’t really reverse that — but if anything, we can put a stop to it,” Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong said backstage. “I figure if they can build a brand new stadium for the Giants to play in, they can give [musicians] a place to play.”
As a result of Web sites and technology companies setting up shop in the Bay Area, rent and real estate prices have skyrocketed. Numerous music venues have closed in the past few years, the noted Church of Saint John Coltrane was booted from its 30-year home, and the popular Downtown Rehearsal studio complex was sold to a developer in September, forcing the eviction of more than 150 bands — some 2,000 musicians.
The loss of space has led local musicians to organize events
like Sunday’s daylong free concert and rally, which began with a “Million Band March.”
Perched atop a whitewashed ice cream truck, local musical tricksters the Gun and Doll Show dragged a guitar-packing dummy, leading around 500 marchers — many armed with guitars, drums and saxophones — from the Mission District to Civic Center Plaza, where a stage was erected across the street from City Hall.
Soft-spoken Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett urged the crowd to vote Tuesday for San Francisco’s Proposition L, a ballot initiative intended to limit dot-com office space.
“Being someone who came out of the San Francisco music scene, I felt that I had to get involved and do what I can to prevent the Mission [District] from being turned into some bland business district,” Hammett said backstage. “It’s taking small steps right now to help out all of my fellow musicians, artists and nonprofit organizations to make sure that they don’t just fall by the wayside by all
these dot-comers and the new dot-com economy that’s taking over the city.”
Hammett said he has been helping organize a benefit concert to raise money for a new non-profit that would buy and run rehearsal space.
While Sunday’s rally was political in intent, the event felt mostly like an open-air music festival, staged in front of the gilded dome and neoclassical columns of City Hall. An estimated 3,000 music fans and protesters took in the scene amidst the Civic Center’s statuesque municipal, theater and library buildings.
A cappella hip-hop group Felonious kicked off the show, followed by singer/songwriter Lisa Flores. While other groups played impromptu sets on street corners around Civic Center Plaza, booths promoted Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader, independent record labels and pizza slices.
“If we’re not that tight today, it’s ’cause we can’t f—ing practice,” bemoaned Creeper Lagoon frontman Ian Sefchick during a set that included such songs as “Dear Deadly”, off 1998′s I Become Small and Go.
Zen Guerrilla belted out a set of hard-edged blues and squealing guitar feedback, with afro-sporting singer Marcus Durant pacing the stage to belt out tunes like “Slow Motion Rewind.”
Decked out in shades and beige suits, gospel band the Blind Boys of Alabama played tight jumping blues, enchanting the crowd with “When the Stars Begin to Fall.” Victoria Williams and band played a mellow set, including “Crazy Mary.”
The crowd then packed in close as Green Day took the stage. A few fans surfed the pit as the band opened with “Castaway,” from their latest album, October’s Warning. Bassist Mike Dirnt picked a punchy bass solo, then quieted down while Armstrong led an audience call-and-response sing-along.
The singer stopped in the middle of one descending, swing-style crunch to make a dedication to Hammett by blasting out the intro to Metallica’s “Master of Puppets.”
“I’m sorry — I don’t work behind a computer, I work behind a fucking guitar,” Armstrong said, announcing that the band’s set list had run out, then begging requests from the audience.
After “Disappearing Boy,” Green Day teased Skynyrd and Zeppelin tunes. Drummer Tre Cool switched places with Armstrong to sing “All By Myself.”
After a faithful cover of the Who’s “My Generation,” Green Day pulled fans onstage to play their instruments, and Armstrong led the new band — christened Jesus Christ Supermarket — through the Ramones’ “Blitzkrieg Bop,” though one unlucky invitee was dragged offstage by security.
Green Day goofed around with the crowd and played for nearly an hour and a half, running through a handful of tunes from Warning as well as older favorites such as “Christie Road” and “Who Wrote Holden Caulfield?” Their most appropriate number for the day’s theme, however, was a cover of Joni Mitchell’s “Big Yellow Taxi”.
“Don’t it always seem to go/ That you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone?/ They paved paradise and put up a parking lot.”
San Francisco Gate (James Sullivan): "The secret band in Sunday's Million Band March and rally is a secret no more: It's a peppy little outfit that goes by the name of Green Day.
You couldn't pick a more appropriate group from among the Bay Area's recent national breakthroughs to represent San Francisco's scrabbling artists in their protest over an economic climate gone batty. Green Day knows a thing or two about following one's muse, and about going batty, and about having no money and having too much money.
The punk revival that Green Day rode to enormous commercial success in 1995 was transfixed on integrity and purity of expression. It's an ideal that has been shunted aside in pop music so fast that it now seems rooted in the "Leave It to Beaver" era. Geez, Eddie, you shouldn't oughta be so cynical and stuff.
Whatever the punk zines say, if they're even bothering anymore to complain about the band's "selling out," Green Day has proven true to itself time and again. And the band still kicks some serious behind in concert.
The remaining lineup for Sunday's event is an eclectic bunch to say the least. Imagine a dinner party with these guests: the old soul Victoria Williams, the most-high Creeper Lagoon, the hung-over Mark Eitzel, the psychotic Zen Guerrilla and the Blind Boys of Alabama.
Before the performances, the ever-theatrical Gun & Doll Show will animate the Million Band March to the Civic Center. Its float will drag a dead body (a fake one, we assume) representing the fate of the artist in the country's most expensive city. The band plans to play "Stop Draggin' My Heart Around." Incessantly, lest anyone miss the point.
Million Band March and Take Back San Francisco rally and "anti-gentrification celebration," noon Sunday beginning at the Women's Building, 18th and Valencia, San Francisco. Free concert to follow in Civic Center Plaza." |

"They were amazing; these are the only words to describe them as. Not to mention the wicked mosh pit and crowd surfing. Billie Joe was mental, wearing scary masks (not trying to be
Slipknot, I must mention). Two hours of non-stop playing. The songs were souped to the limit making them twice as long. They played a lot of new stuff, which wasn't as great. But then some of the old, reviving the true Green Day. Some specials such as She, Brain Stew, Welcome To Paradise, Basket Case and Good Riddance. When it came to playing Kerplunk songs, Billie Joe got 15-year-old Eleanor up on stage to play the guitar. She was all right, but when he said, 'Now, Eleanor is going to perform a stagedive!' She was quite worried, but she managed to do it, but not very well. This was a massive set. Supported by the Bouncing Souls, who were all right. If anyone ever has the chance to see them they must be seen." |

The Dallas Morning News: "For a snot-nosed punk band like Green Day, maturity is best tackled in tiny increments. On its recent Warning CD, the manic Bay Area trio expanded upon its trademark three-chord blitzkrieg bop by dabbling in slower tempos and jazzier styles. But in concert Thursday night at the Bronco Bowl, Green Day played down its recent growth spurt and played up its time-honored image as the velocity-crazed goofballs of punk. And you can't blame them. As interesting as it might have been to hear them reinvent themselves, the mosh-minded capacity crowd didn't come to hear musical change-ups. They came to rock, and Green Day wasn't about to kill their buzz. They did toy with their rhythms now and again, testing out a rockabilly-ish beat in the new Blood, Sex and Booze and propelling another tune with swinging, Gene Krupa-style percussion. Yet those were the exceptions to the louder-faster rule. From the grunged-out stutter-strut of Brain Stew to 300 mph rockers such as Welcome to Paradise, they stuck to their familiar blend of bubble-gum melodies and jackhammer instrumentation. Like most Green Day shows, the music often took a backseat to the band's high jinks. Billy Joe Armstrong played the role of court jester to the hilt – shining a huge beam light in fans' eyes, doing impromptu Bruce Springsteen impressions and, when all else failed, riffing on his pet subject: masturbation."
"Dallas, TX 1.11.01 1st show on the WARNING: tour Strapped in my Green leather
boots and Army Pants. I put on my dookie shirt and hit the road by 5:00pm. It
was about an hour drive to Bronco Bowl. I was shaking the whole way....this
was my first Green Day concert, and ive been a fan for 7 yrs so this was a
HUGE thing for me. We got up to the stadium and i stuck my head out the
window and started screaming my head off. I walked up to the front and there
were the tour buses. So I had to stop and pose for a picture, of course. We
got to the doors and the line was huge. About a 1hr and 1/2 wait, and I got
in a little after "the get up kids" started. Im not familiar with any G.U.K.
songs so i cant tell you what they played but they were awesome. The G.U.K.
set ended about 9:00 after that they thanked Green Day for putting them on
tour and Green Days stage started being set up. Im such a looser....i was
freaking out and hyperventilating. I was up against the bar in the pit and
Bronco bowl is tiny so i knew Id be hella close. They were done setting up
about 9:30 and Green Day came on. When Mike walked on I screamed my ass off
and got teary-eyed. I was right next to him. Like 5ft away, coulda touched
him (sept the guards are assholes) close. They started with "Nice Guys Finish
Last" and in the words of Billie "Im so fucking happy i could cry." Then
Billie was like "Im going to run for Gov. of Texas! Vote for me in 2002! And
our theme song will be" and he started to play Blood Sex and Booze. It was
cool as hell. They played for about 2hrs and 15 mins. The set went something
like this:
Nice Guys Finish Last
Blood Sex and Booze
Castaway
Longview
Welcome to Paradise
Geek Stink Breath
Hitchin a ride
Brain Stew
She
86 (and it later turned into) FOD
2000 light years away
Knowledge (which my friend Tyler got to go on stage and play guitar
for....asshole.)
Platypus {i hate you}
Warning
Minority
Good Riddance {time of your life}
King for a day
Waiting (i cried through out the entire song....this is my fav. GD song "Ive
been waiting a life time for this moment to come.")
Macys Day Parade (pleasant surprize)
Basket Case
When I come Around During the end of Warning two guys were basically killing
each other and Billie stopped the song and yelled at them. He was like "Hey
you two...stop fighting we're here to have a good time. No lets not kick them
out. Instead make them shake hands, ok guys shake hands and you wont get
kicked out. Now get naked. And rub your nipples" OMG it was such an awesome
show. I got squirted with Billie Joe's squirt gun and Mikes water bottle.
Never again will I wash my dookie shirt.I can honestly say I had the "time of
my life". Billie even said we were the best first show they've ever had.
Until next time Have a Green Day!" |

Tim: "Me and my sister drove to Austin from Kendalia. We got to Austin at about 8:00. We drove up right when the Get Up Kids were going on, but we spent about 20 minutes looking for a place to park. Finally, we went in and caught the last 15 minutes of the GUK set. After 20 minutes, the crowd was going wild. People were already floating, the the police sirens came on, and a crowd surfer kicked me in the head, when I looked up, Billie Joe was onstage 'shushing' the audience. They broke into Nice Guys Finish Last, then into Castaway. They went through 7 songs without a break. After Welcome To Paradise a girl was shouting that it was her birthday, she was 18. Billie said, 'Well, we don't have any songs about being 18, but this is close enough,' as he started into Coming Clean. After working the crowd, during Hitchin' A Ride, Billie said, 'OK, this is where the orgasm begins, and it doesn't stop for another hour and a half, y'all,' as they finished the song. During 2,000 Light Years Away Billie Joe brought out his super soaker, and his horn section. Now, it was time for Knowledge, Green Day played half of it and then asked who wanted to finish it. I've been playing guitar since I was 8 (9 years). So I tried my hardest, he actually asked me, but then went on to someone else. The guy they got to play drums was good, while he was playing, Tre poured beer into his mouth. The girl they got to play bass was a washout, so the got someone else, she was good. I've never seen Billie do this before, but he picked a guy out of the balcony, he jumped down and floated all the way to the stage. I met him after the show, he was pretty cool. After they finished their set, I knew they were going to do an encore, so I got out of the crowd to let all the drunks out. When I looked beside me, Green Day was about five feet away from me, waiting to go back onstage. I waved and Billie reached out to shake my hand, but a roadie pushed him back onstage, that pissed me off, oh well. After their six-song encore, they left stage. We went to wait outside (it was freaking cold). After a while, Tre came out, looked at us, and got on the bus (that pissed me off too). I think it was the Get Up Kids' bus because I never saw Billie Joe, or Mike get on. When the bus passed Tre looked out the window and pointed to his wrist (like a watch, saying they didn't have any time to talk), but that was bullshit, because he had benn in the bus for about twenty minutes. When the bus took off, I saw Jason White, the horn players, and Tre. We figured that Billie and Mike were not going to come out so we left. We wasted two hours for nothing. But it was the best concert I've ever been to." |

to play the instruments and B.J. kissed one of them on the lips. The song they played was a
Ramones cover. Afterwards the kids stage-dived back into the crowd.
When they played King For A Day, B.J. was wearing a crown and had the crowd chant the chorus
with him. "KING-FOR-A-DAY" Really cool. During Platypus, right before the bridge, they stoped
playing and B.J. talked to the crowd, then without any warning they exploded into the bridge.
Where I was on the floor, there was a really big pit right in front of me. I just dived in and
had some fun.
The last song they played was Macy's Day Parade. B.J. leaned over to the mic with an acoustic
guitar and played while the whole crowd sang with him. Very calm and cool atmosphere. (along
with all the pot in the air)
I rate it a 10. The band seemed like they were having a good night." |

Cathi Walker: "Green Day did play a Milwaukee show after 1995. I know because I chaperoned a former co-worker's 15-year-old daughter and her friends at a Green Day show - the Get Up Kids opened. They played the Eagles Ballroom (or the Rave), and I stood in the way back, by all of the other lame parents and adult-types (I was 25-ish). I was only co-workers with that person from 1998-2000, so the show would have been during that time period or possibly later, since I stayed friends with my former co-worker after I left the company." |

Laura: "First off I was really excited to see Green Day, but unfortunalty I'm from
Chicago and had to travel 2 hours with my friend to get to her uncle's in
Madison. When we finally got there The Get Up Kids were already playing so I
went to the merchandise counter while it was empty and bought 3 shirts a
windbreaker and (stupid to buy at the beginging: a program) after I had put
on all the clothes so I dont lose any of it I stuffed the program up my
shirt. My friend and I made it to the second row by the time the Get Up Kids
were done, they did an alright job, not as much energy as you would get if
you saw them on their own tour, which had done before becuase I like them.
The set change took forever, Ive never in my 18 year old life experienced as
much pain as i did for that 40 minutes. The crowd in the back kept pushing
and we were all just frozen in our spots. Even though I was in the 2nd row I
couldnt see anything when they came on. All i remember is the lights going
out a siren going off and orange lights flashing everywhere, hence the name
of the album "Warning". They broke out into Nice Guys Finish Last and the
crowd went nuts I couldnt even feel my feet on the ground I was knocked
around so much. The first few songs were a blur becuase I was stuck in hell
getting the shit kicked out of me. I know Im short and skinny but I can
usually hold my own at concerts. I think the next few songs were Castaway
and Blood, Sex, Booze. Somewhere in that period I thought i was gonna die so
i was screaming "get me out!" some dude behind me heard me and saw the
danger I was in probably looked like I was gonna pass out, which I almost
did. So i got lifted in the air and for the first time in my life crowd
surfed! It was the coolest thing I could actually SEE the band and how
packed the place was, heads everywhere, it was one of the neatest sites Ive
ever seen. They continued to play songs like Geek Stink Breath (I love how
Billie and Mike jump up and down together at the begining). Longview, Hitchin
a Ride, Welcome to Paradise. They took a crowd request which was the great
song JAR, Brat, Brainstew, Jaded, but Platypus is the song that made the
crowd go nuts. Everyone was moshing and losing it, it was damn great.
Throughout the concert i couldnt get enough of my new found love of crowd
surfing. however one time i made it from the back all the way to the front
when the young asshole guard plucked me from the crowd and put me between the
crowd and the stage and told me to go out (and then you can go back into the
crowd.) when he took me from the crowd my program fell out of my shirt and i
bent down to pick it up. he yelled at me and i asked nicely for my program.
he yelled at me again so i yelled at him. Then i thought to myself "Laura
youre right in front of Billie Joe, why arent you looking at him while youre
so close?" so i look over and hes actually watching whats going on (probably
heard me yelling) then the asshole guard took my program and threw it to the
crowd! what an asshole! that thing cost me ten bucks, then he pushed me
again and as he did Billie Joe kinda chuckled becuase i pushed him back and
left. Oh it was great and sucked at the same time, i had to buy another
program. Then they played 2000 Light years away and then the famous
Knowledge. Tre, Mike, and Billie picked 3 people from the crowd to come up
and play while Billie sang. I think he even kissed one of the guys from the
crowd. they all stage dived at the end while they broke into Basket Case.
then they played minority, she, and king for a day. it was great because
Billie came out with a crown on his head and they had some dudes play the
horn section for King for a Day, it was awesome! throughout the show Billie
entertained the crowd with talk of sex, and having fake orgasims with his
guitar and spraying everyone with water and beer. When they came back for
several encores they played warning, good riddance, FOD, waiting (my new
favorite), when i come around, and macys day parade. Tre did a good job
demolishing his drum set while the other 2 sprayed the crowd with water and
beer. I had a great time, but when i found my friend she looked dead she was
all bruised and bleeding, apparently she got pushed to the ground and stepped
on a lot. that sucks, but hey, i had a great time! plus its a funny site to
see a big dude with a mohawk cry during the encore songs. and this time on
the new tour i actually get to see them in Chicago, and Milwaukee(hehehe)

Dennis Erokan: "Green Day showed up one year at the Bammie Awards in Oakland and brought their families. Early in the gig, Billie Joe came up to me and said, 'Hey, we'd love to play tonight.' We didn't have any of their equipment. So I spent an hour running around trying to set them up with equipment. They closed the show. No rehearsal - they just came out and played. And they just blew the room away."
hollywood.com: "Green Day dominated the California Music Awards Saturday night (April 28) at the Henry J. Kaiser Arena in Oakland by earning so-called 'Bammies' in all eight categories in which the group was nominated; including artist of the year, outstanding group, and outstanding album for Warning. Bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool both bested all comers in their individual instrument categories, while frontman Billie Joe Armstrong earned outstanding male vocalist honors and songwriting props over Neil Young, Aimee Mann, and others. The group also grabbed the award for outstanding punk/ska album for Warning."
Sarah Quelland: "I have to admit I thought the California Music Awards were a bust last year, and I don't think I was alone in that assessment. Since Bam folded and the Bammies have been taken over by Tower Records and renamed the encompassing California Music Awards, the ceremony seems to have lost its focus. Last year, musicians like the Red Hot Chili Peppers' bassist Flea, Metallica's drummer Lars Ulrich, Rage Against the Machine's guitarist Tom Morello and singers like Fiona Apple and Smash Mouth's Steve Harwell won awards. It appears that Tower was trying to compete with the Grammys and MTV, but few seemed to be taking the award seriously. Last year, most of the nominees, including Santana, didn't even show up.
Though this year's crop features some major-label stars, including Limp Bizkit, Marilyn Manson, Green Day, Stone Temple Pilots, No Doubt and A Perfect Circle, other nominated bands like Creeper Lagoon, the Mr. T Experience, Imperial Teen, Grandaddy, Aisler's Set and Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers seem to give the award a little more street credibility. (I was disappointed to see that (hed)pe, Flogging Molly and Strait Up, the tribute to Snot's Lynn Strait, were overlooked.) The CMAs also partnered with LIVE 105 for a contest with the prize being a slot at the awards ceremony. Three regional bands (San Jose's Brickhead, San Francisco's Downtemper and Oakland's Dork.com) were chosen from some 40 entrants to perform last Saturday (April 21) at Jack London Square in Oakland. Our own Brickhead was named the winner and will perform at the CMAs. This year's ceremony will be held this Saturday (April 28) at the Henry J. Kaiser Arena in Oakland. Huey Lewis will host the event, and scheduled performers include Blackalicious, Brad Davis (of Fu Manchu), Chuck Prophet, Count Dante, members of the Doobie Brothers, Lewis, Jackpot, Little Feat, Noelle Hampton, Orixa, Sammy Hagar, Victoria Williams and others. Artists scheduled to appear include Aisler's Set, 100 Watt Smile, Boney James, Dave Koz, Green Day, Lavay Smith, Lynn Perko (of Imperial Teen), the Santana Band, Tom Morello and Tracy Chapman. Tickers ($25-$135) are available at Ticketmaster outlets." |

Jake: "The concert ruled, but I did think they would take requests. It was awesome anyway. They played all these songs in an hour and a half. Started at 9:00, ended at 10:45, but this was truly the greatest show on earth. I was surprised at the age of some people. I saw very few little kids. A lot of younger girls who would be more into boybands. Some older people who I
wouldn't think were into this. The Twin Cities really love Green Day, a lot of energy."
Nicole: "Earlier tonight, my fiance and I went to the Green Day concert in St. Paul. Everything was going fine through the first act, then that is when everything went horribly wrong. Don't get me wrong, we are not those people who have never been to their concerts before, so we knew what we were in for. My fiance is 6 foot and 250 pounds. He is not a pushover. I think of myself as a pretty 'go-with-the-flow' girl too, and that's usually fine. Tonight, however, we were in the third 'row' of people from the stage. We have been there before, so we knew it was going to get hot, sticky and dangerous, for lack of a better word. What we didn't expect was everyone climbing on top of everyone else and so on and so forth. To say the least, it was disgusting. There were 13 and 14 year olds getting trampled on and knocked to the floor. That is not the worst part. The fact that the security did nothing to these scumbags who were forcing themselves on everyone was bad, but the fact that the band themselves did nothing was worse. Now I know, they probably see this kind of thing all over the world. It's not new to me either, but isn't there something that can be done about this? Can they stop the concert, or point out that it is not cool to participate in all this melodrama? I don't know. All I do know is that I bought these concert tickets because Green Day is my fiance's all time favorite band and I thought we'd have fun. Now, instead, we stayed at the concert for only the first 2 songs, then pushed our way through the crowd to get the hell out of there. It was a waste of money and I don't know if my fiance will ever go to one again, let alone remain a fan of the band. I know it is not their fault and they cannot control their fans, but they have to have some power, right? He (and I) were very disappointed." |

"The concert was great. The best one we have ever seen. They started off with Welcome To Paradise, then went right into Hitchin' A Ride. They took a lot of requests and played older songs like Christie Road and Only of You. Tre took Billie's guitar and played All By Myself, then Billie played drums for Dominated Love Slave. During Knowledge they had a guy jump from the balcony, then crowdsurf up to the front to play guitar. Then during When I Come Around, Billie skipped some words and messed it up. It was pretty funny. It was awesome." |

Mike: "This concert was the best concert by far. They opened with Nice Guys Finish Last. During the concert, Billie Joe put on a great show. He was crazy, squirting a huge squirt gun out at the crowd and keeping the audience involved. They brought up a drummer, bassist, and guitarist to play during Minority. Billie Joe made the guitar player bodysurf all the way down the crowd and up to the stage to play. There was a lot of moshpits and bodysurfing, which was great. Mike and Tre played great and so did Billie Joe, who is just hilarious. It was the best performance I've ever seen and made me so tired and dehydrated. The concert was a great experience I'll never forget."
"I was a Green Day virgin. Yup, that’s right, up until a few days ago this lonesome reviewer had never been to a Green Day concert. I always wondered what I was missing and now I know – a punk band that just likes to have fun. Green Day took the stage at about 9PM and I was a little worried because I thought the curfew rules might have been in effect meaning the show would end at about ten. 'Hmm, one hour for the headliner?' But it is Green Day, known for a bunch of really good three-minute songs, so I guess if they kept things going at a furious pace, well, they could knock out nearly twenty songs. Sadly I’m pretty sure they only played nineteen songs, but more than happily the curfew rules were no longer in effect or Green Day just didn’t care because it was nearly eleven before the trio let the youngin’s go home. And they let the youngin's go home happy. Opening with Nice Guys Finish Last, at least I’m pretty sure it was as I was busy taking my photos and forgot to jot it down, this was a show that spotlighted the many Green Day hits the radio fan may have forgotten, songs like Welcome to Paradise, She, Longview, and When I Come Around, along with some of their latest songs, Minority and Good Riddance (Time of Your Life), but also hit on non-radio songs like Church on Sunday and 2000 Light Years Away that the die-hard fans knew and loved. But what was maybe even more important than the set-list variety was that the boys of Green Day know the show is just as much about having fun, and it sure looked like they haven’t gotten tired of playing in front of their fans. And why do I say this? Well, because Billie Joe was just the goofball I hoped he would be. He jumped on monitors; he knew all of the arm movements to bring the crowd to a frenzy and then hush to a whisper; he knew when the crowd would know the words and let them sing, and he knew when to help them out; he baptized the crowd with bottles of water and shot them with a giant water gun; he busted on Limp Bizkit and President Bush; he called himself 'Fuckface'; and maybe most of all, at about 9:30, around the time of Hitchin’ A Ride, I think, Billie proclaimed that the next hour and a half would be one big, fucking orgasm. I can’t say I came, and I guess I didn’t really breathe hard either, but it sure was great seeing three dudes making so much sound that the addition of the sax and trumpet dudes weren’t needed, they just added to things. And what else was I impressed with? Well, the band brought up three dudes from the audience to play a song. Billie asked for a drummer and he got a drummer. Billie asked for a bass player and he got a bass player. And then a dude had a sign that read, 'I play guitar', or at least something close to that, and Billie made the dude bodysurf to the back of the crowd and then to the stage if he wanted to play. I have to say I didn’t know what song it was, but our three lucky contestants did much better than I thought they would. It almost looked like Billie Joe slipped one of the dudes the tongue, Billie donned the trio the Chicago Shitheads, and our new trio had to stagedive back into the crowd, even the bass dude who supposedly lost his dinner off to the side of the stage. There are things you don’t see at concerts much these days, and this definitely is one of them."
"I am 24 years old and I absolutely love Green Day, this is how their rock show at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago went down. A few things are certain when entering the grasp of Green Day in the arena form. The boys always take two minute explosive songs and turn them into ten-minute instrumental 'fun time' segments for Billie Joe to act like the charming clown he is, igniting the sold out crowd with 'hey-oh's' and various orchestrated Simon Says bits. Tre Cool will always toss his drumsticks for a fresh pair after every song, sometimes in the middle of one if he feels punk enough. A teenage boy, his green-haired friend, and a proud and slightly frightened set of parents with earplugs will always be the coolest people at the show. Since the tickets were $26.00 a pop on a school night, the kids and their parents are way cooler than you think. Flashing red lights triggered the bandís entrance as they ripped into Nice Guys Finish Last, the lead single from the crew's Nimrod album. Mike Durnt slapped his bass with a hairless head, as Billie Joe strummed with a red guitar, his precious BJ axe was nowhere to be found. Castaway came in second from the latest effort Warning, which instigated the first of many Billie Joe orchestrated crowd sing-alongs. Church on Sunday came in next, with help from a second guitarist (later named Jason White) and a saxophone player, which is something that I have never seen before at a GD show. We all knew Longview from the breakthrough Dookie record was coming and as Billie came out dawning a wolf mask the East Bay idols ripped into their most famous song to date. Right before the first chorus struck, a second Green Day banner dropped from the roof covering the first, as 'Bite my lip and close my eyes' was heard from every mouth in the audience. Welcome To Paradise, Hitchin A Ride, then Brain Stew from Insomniac were launched, as Billie Joe took time to super soak the audience as he stretched his cherished 3 minute bursts into clock eating numbers. Jaded came in as the extension of Brain Stew, with help from the second guitarist Jason White as he hammered away leaving Billie Joe to run and sing with just a microphone. The much anticipated request lines opened up making it that much more exciting for fans like me who have seen the trio many times to possibly fall victim to older gems. 2,000 Light Years Away from 1992's Lookout released Kerplunk treasure brought back many joyful memories as did the obligatory Green Day cover of Operation Ivy's Knowledge which trickled in next. GD have played the song so much, and took it from a band that broke up to avoid fame, that Billie now claimed that the song belonged to him. Operation Ivy was Tim Armstrong from Rancid's first band, and Billie Joe's first introduction to punk rock. The coolest part of the evening came during the everlasting bridge of Knowledge, when Billie asked for three people to come on stage to perform a make shift song right then and there. I have seen them do this with one kid and BJ's guitar, but an entire band? After finding three cats that could actually play the respected instruments, the three bright-eyed boys closed out Knowledge and experienced the best night of their performing lives. The drummer ruled as he held up his right arm as he banged with his left, the guitar player was all right but the bass player THREW UP immediately after the song. Billie made all of the boys stage dive to get back into the crowd, but the bass player was still on the side blowing chunks. After the brought his dinner back up, the crowd chanted the boy's name as he jumped back into the audience. The band was dubbed the Chicago Shitheads, look for their forthcoming release soon on a very major label. A pair of Dookie tracks brought the crowd back to life with Basket Case followed by She. Sporting a king's crown, Billie launched into King For A Day, then into Waiting from the Warning album, which was getting a ton of great response from the crowd, as I thought this album slipped under the radar for some reason. Serves me right for questioning the teenage market. Minority was the final song before the crew left the stage for the evening, only to return seconds later for their encore. Time Of Your Life left Billie on the stage plugged in and all by himself. Warning came next followed by the terminal-paced Platypus (I Hate You) which helped drop the bandís third banner of the evening, this time an '80s Judas Priest-style Green Day logo which looked so cool. When I Come Around looked like the closer, as the third banner dropped, the glitter and confetti dripped from the ceiling and Tre knocked his kit over and Mike assisted by javelin tossing his bass into the chaos. But alas the Green Daze kept on, this time with a lovely version of Warning's last track Macy's Day Parade, which proved to be the final song of the evening. The fellas left the stage for a couple of seconds, before Billie Joe came back on only to knock over Tre's cymbals. Green Day have been playing gigs and making records since their early teens, dating back to almost fifteen years. I swear on the holy rock bible, that they are one of the tightest bands that I have ever seen, and I am grateful for the music that they have provided out ears. And to all of the haters, Green Day never sold out ñ they just sold records." |

Incomplete setlist
Zac Leonard: "With the warning sirens blaring and red police lights flashing Green Day took the stage in St. Louis for the first time since 1998. Green Day opened with Nice Guys Finish Last and went directly into Castaway. Jason joined the band with an amazing performance of Church on Sunday, during the middle of the song Billie Joe, the undisputed king of modern punk, greeted the crowed and notified them that they were about to begin 'one long orgasm' for the rest of the night. After finishing the song Green Day went into Hitchin' A Ride which sent the moshpits into a frenzy. After the song Billie invited a fan to come up and play any Green Day song he knew. The lucky fan chose No Pride and midway through the song he became the lead singer of Green Day as Mike, Tre, and Billie Joined in. For the rest of the night Green Day lead the crowed thorough the history of their career. They played all the hits like Basket Case, Longview, Brain Stew, and many fan favorites like 2,000 Light Years Away, King For A Day (with a wild horn section) and Platypus (in which a fight broke out in the crowd). The night included Billie leading the crowed in chats, Billie squirting the crowd with water. A chant of, 'Bullshit,' led by Green Day as the security wouldn't let a man dive off the balcony, many backdrop changes, and the dropping of confetti during the second to last song When I Come Around (which ended with the destruction of instruments). The night ended with Tre scrapping up what was left of his drum set, Mike pulling out a new bass and Billie taking out the Acoustic Guitar for a live Performance of Macy's Day Parade. The show lasted for over an hour and a half, and they played way to many songs for me to remember them all." |

nopride84: "I took these pictures on June 22nd, 2001 in Lowell, MA. They are kinda scratchy because they were in a frame but it got smashed and ruined some of them."
Eric: "First of all, it has to be noted that Green Day is a great live band. Incredible actually. Very tight, very fun to watch, and they get the crowd into it. Very high energy. However, I have several complaints about this particular show. Too predictable of a setlist. I came in hoping to hear some songs I hadn't heard before from previous albums. 86, J.A.R, Uptight, Walking Contradiction... Hearing any of those songs would have made my night. But no, they played essentially the same set from the Chicago show 3 nights before. Heavy on the hits. VERY disappointing to the true Green Day fan who has been with them through the long haul. The encore. The encore should be a rockin' handful of songs that really gets the crowd fired up, perhaps ending in a slower tune. Instead, they basically busted out 4 slow songs with a rockin' tune in between. SUBPAR. Too much screwing around. Between every song, BJ would lead the crowd in chants of 'Hey-oh,' and '1, 2, 1, 2, 3, 4,' etc. etc. If you removed all these ridiculous interludes, they could have played 2 more songs. Perhaps 2 more that I really would have like to have heard."
"The set from Green Day was starting to get put up, so my friends and I went to the floor. There were about 9 of us in a group. We all danced around to the music like idiots so people would give us enough room, but as soon as Green Day came on that room we cleared was gone again. Bodysurfers were everywhere, one kid I saw broke his ribs and hand. He laughed the whole time. People were making big circles and dancing in the middle. There was a real bondage of punks everywhere around us, and if someone fell you'd help them back up and push them back into the crowd or send them up again. The one guy in my group once got really hurt at a local band's mosh pit, so he was looking out for me and my friend, who are small girls. He kept asking us if we were OK when someone body surfed over us. One of my friends got kicked in the head a few times. I got pushed by some kid and ended up punching him back. We all felt lightheaded and dizzy, it was so hot so my friend bought us water and we saw this one girl lying down on the floor next to us, we told her friends not to let her go to sleep or else she'd go unconcious. Some people snuck pot in and were smoking that. One of my friends got her necklace taken away because they thought it could be used as a weapon, but she hid it in a bush and soon got it back at the end."
Austin O'Connor: "Green Day's latest album is called Warning, but the ferocity of the band's live shows arrives without one. Okay, so there were a few flashing red lights that cut through the Tsongas Arena darkness on Friday night as the Bay Area-based punk trio - singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool - bounded on stage just past 9 p.m. and ripped into Nice Guys Finish Last. But trust me, it takes more than a couple of spinning bulbs to prepare for the type of sensory assault served up by Armstrong and his bandmates, who burst out of the Berkeley, Calif. punk scene and onto the national radar seven years ago on the strength of their hard-driving tunes on their mega-hit major label debut, Dookie.
It sold more than 10 million copies, and the band has faded in and out of the spotlight ever since. But Friday night's 19-song, 105-minute show - which followed a blistering 35-minute opening set from Aussie rockers The Living End - had the kind of epic intensity few rock bands can muster. Much of the credit for that goes to Armstrong, now a family man and nearing the ripe old age of 30. From the opening tune, he directed the crowd like a maestro before his orchestra, raising his arms to the rafters and quivering, whipping the young fans - most of whom turned the Arena floor into a moshing mass of teenage humanity - into a fervor. Despite the crowd surfers and circles of young males pantomiming WWF routines, Armstrong was in total control, stalking the stage from end to end as Cool and Dirnt joined him in turning the Arena into your neighbor's noisy garage, full of snot-nosed kids who revel in playing their instruments too late and too loud. After tearing through a mix of hits, including Longview, Welcome To Paradise and Church on Sunday, the band reached way back into its playbook to dust off 2,000 Light Years Away, from 1992's indie album Kerplunk!. Then, while covering Operation Ivy's Knowledge, they recruited a trio of young concertgoers to take over the instruments - dubbing the makeshift band The Massachusetts Murders. The new kids impressed, ably substituting and drawing roars of approval from the 4,953 screaming fans before stage-diving back into their midst. Meanwhile, Armstrong continued to work the crowd, joining in on a 'Yankees Suck!' chant and playfully admonishing those in the seats for not working as hard as the moshers. There's a little Springsteen in the frontman's stage demeanor (the guys even threw some sax into Church on Sunday) though he hasn't forgotten his punk roots, donning a gorilla mask for Longview and sporting a royal crown for a raucous King For A Day. Even after a schizophrenic five-song encore that began with an Armstrong solo of Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) then jumped to manic, noisy classics When I Come Around and Platypus (I Hate You) before finishing with the melancholy hope of Macy's Day Parade, the image of Armstrong wearing his red velvet crown and directing the crowd from atop a center-stage woofer was the one that lingered. King for a day? If they keep putting on shows like this, Armstrong and Green Day's reign atop their punk kingdom will last much longer than that." |

"Since it was outside and there were no seats I was able to get there early and get my spot right in front of Billie Joe, no lie I was in the front leaning on the rail as Billie played on. No requests were taken and for some reason the Living End didn't play, instead some stinky band from Baltimore played for way too long. Throughout the show Billie was squirting everyone with a big supersoaker. He and Mike also did their usual squiriting of everyone with water bottles which of one I was fortunate enough to keep. Billie broke a string on the first song Nice Guys Finish Last but played on and then switched his guitar back to Blue until the old one got a new string. Billie Joe called out the 'hey-oh's' all night long as the audience responded enthusiastically. He didn't strip tonight but the horn players were out on a few songs including King For a Day as Billie ran up and down the stage as he pointed at random people in the audience as usual. The band recruited audience members to play Knowledge and then they were ordered to stage dive by BJ. When Billie played Time of Your Life he brought his two sons out, Joey and Jakob, as Billie smiled and continued on with the song until the two decided to leave the stage. All in all it was really cute to watch. Tre then lit his drums on fire but left a cymbal and one drum left so that he could play Warning and Macy's Day Parade. Then Mike smashed his bass and the amazing trio called it a night after playing riverside for thousands of crazy fans at Kahunaville in Wilmington, Delaware. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen and I will never forget that night."
Sic_Transit: "This was my first concert ever! Waited by their bus after. Got to ask Billyjo why they didn't play Christie road and he said "cause we played forty fucking other songs!" Bit I still got billyjo and Mike dirnt to sign the ticket. Also got billyjo to sign an orange street cone that was part of the "barrier" keeping us from their bus. My friend took off with it but a giant bouncer grabbed it. my friend had the pointy end so he just had it yanked away. Maybe somewhere in Wilmington, DE there is an orange street cone with Billyjo's signature in black sharpie" |

Peter: "Green Day came out and opened with Nice Guys Finish Last. Billie Joe took some shots at George W. Bush, since this was in DC. After Time of Your Life, BJ stopped suddenly and pointed to someone in the crowd and said, 'I bet you heard that one on Seinfeld.' I thought that was the funniest thing he said all night, but not everyone got the joke. Oh well. And during Platypus he mocked hanging himself by the mic cable. And the Green Day backdrop changed twice, and confetti fell after Warning. So many of those trendy Gap-wearing girls were there, you know the ones who get on their jock boyfriends' shoulders and flash the crowd. Green Day needs to do a club tour. Please. There were a lot of young kids there, and the setlist seemed to cater to them, with plenty of simple, silly Nimrod songs like King For A Day and Platypus. I was hoping for some more off of Insomniac, or something random like J.A.R. or 80, but I guess they werent in that mood that night. Overall, good solid show, but I have come to expect even more from Green Day. I hope they do a club tour soon. Maybe then there will be more people who get it. But either way, Green Day is always able to make it a great show for all types of fans." |

Roxy: "The concert was in like, a ballroom sorta thing. I ordered tickets for me and my friend TWO days before the concert, and they told me we were gonna be in row like 4830955 or something. But we got there, and we got our tickets, and they said we were RIGHT ON THE FLOOR. It was so awesome. so we were sitting on the floor with all the other people waiting for the opening band,The Living End, to come on. So they came on, and everyone stood up, and there was a little moshing. Just like, a little pushing that me and my friend were able to handle real easily. Then The Livind End gets off and like, half an hour later Green Day comes on! As soon as they started playing, everyone FLIPPED OUT. They were pushing and jumping and all trying to move closer to the stage. Me and my friend got seperated within 2 minutes, and then she lost her shoe. And never got it back. Now, me being a girl of only 14 in my first moshpit, it was EXCITING as anything. I didn't get hurt or anything, because I took the liberty of making friends with EVERYONE around me before the concert, so a bunch of us had each others backs the whole time. Green Day was AWESOME. I can't even describe how cool it was to see my favorite band in person. One time one of the guys helped me push past everyone and we got RIGHT UP TO THE STAGE and I was in like, heaven. Once I got up there, the violent pushing and yelling didn't even matter anymore. Just seeing Green Day made me SO hyper I jumped right back in the moshpit and moshed like hell the rest of the night." |

Christopher J. Miller: "First of all, I'd like to say that I was chosen to play drums for Knowledge. It may be the greatest experience of my life. Rocking on stage with the greatest band of all time while they pour beers and vodka down your throat. All in all, pretty much the greatest show I've ever been to. They played a shitload of songs, including a couple that I hadn't heard live before. Requests were taken for a little bit. Imperial Death March and At The Library, Going To Pasalacqua, and 2,000 Light Years Away. Tre burnt the drumkit at the end. Actually, it was before Macy's Day Parade and they set up a new set right after." |

"At about 8:45 these huge sirens started going off. The crowd loved it, it really got us going. Then Tre and Mike ran on and everyone went nuts. About half a minute later Billie Joe ran onstage, picked up a guitar and they started with Nice Guys Finish Last. Everyone was going insane, it was so awesome. A few songs later, Billie Joe saw this kid that fell in the middle of the mosh pit, and he was getting hurt, so at the end of the song he said, 'Hey, if you're gonna be doing some sla, dancing and you see some one fall, help him up.' Then there was a huge surprise, he actually brought his wife. That was really cool seeing her. Billie said, 'Tonight's our 7 year anniversary,' and everyone cheered for him. Then he said, 'Yeah, but after the next song she's going back to California,' he said a in a pissed off voice, just as a joke. Everyone started to boo, just as a joke, too. He said, 'Fuck California, we're the Green Day that grew up in fuckin' Michigan!' The show ended with Tre setting fire to his drum set and Mike smashing his bass at the end of When I Come Around. But then he picked up the bass drum and one of the symbals (on which he burned his hand when he grabbed) and played Macy's Day Parade. It was a great show, except that the end was really staged, since there were people helping Green Day set up for the final song and then they helped put out the fire." |

"I left with my friends Nick, Al, and Al's girlfriend Jessica at about 4:00 yesterday afternoon to my absolute favorite band, Green Day, for the very first time in Pittsburgh, PA. Al, Nick and myself all were trying to guess what Green Day would open up with and weird enough we were all thinking of Nice Guys Finish Last. We arrived at the IC Light Amphitheatre at about 5:30 to see a huge line waiting to get in. We stood and line and it just got longer and longer. Pretty soon we got in and just happened to get near the front of the stage. Then the crowd started pouring in and the place started to get pretty packed. Soon enough, Green Day ran out onstage to a huge amount of screaming and pushing. What did they open up with? Ironically enough, they played Nice Guys Finish Last. It was great. Since this was the first time that Nick and I had ever saw them in concert we were ecstatic. The soon follwed with Castaway and Church On Sunday. Then the followed with Longview (I think) and the crowd just started going nuts. That's when the moshing started to get bad. I got hurt quite a few time, but loved every painful moment. After a bunch of more hits adn even a few non-hits (like The Ballad of Wilhelm Fink to my suprise) they acted like they were finsihed and then came back out and played like 10 more songs. They played a total of 23 songs. At point Billie asked, 'Who likes Black Flag?' Everyone screamed. And he said, 'OK, just taking a poll.' They did a ton of fan interaction. And put on the best show I will probably ever see. The played most of their hits, and suprisingly enough they played some old stuff like Going To Pasalacqua and Only Of You. When they played Brain Stew, I went nuts and started elbowing people in the back of the head. At one point, they played Knowledge and my friend, Nick, threw his hat onstage and Billie Joe put it on. That was basically the highlight of the show. So, since I knew how to play guitar and the song, I jumped on Al's shoulders and Billie Joe pointed at me. I thought I was going to play and then he picked someone else. Oh well. They dude got up there and acted like he didn't know how to play guitar. Then he broke out into all these solos and crap. So, Billie Joe slapped him. They did a ton of fan interaction, and put on the best show I will probably ever see. At the end of the show Mike Dirnt opened up some beer and sprayed it right in my face. Woohoo! And then Billie Joe announced, 'Tre can't set his drums on fire, because he accidently set his hand on fire yesterday.' 5 minutes later (after an extremely angry version of Platypus), he set the drums on fire. Tre soon brought out some new drums, and ended on Macy's Day Parade." |

SMD: "Green Day came on shortly after 9. They opened with Nice Guys Finish last, went through the first few songs pretty quickly, they were talking about how long it had been since they played in LA (that wasn't a Radio Festival) They took requests for what Heavy Metal song to play and a some guy shoted "Brain Stew!!," Billie said, "We'll get to that" they then played Ozzie and Van Halen. They took a few more requests, some guy wanted Westbound Sign, but Billie said no, he then said J.A.R. and everyone cheered so they played that, he then asked if we wanted to hear an old song. Everyone cheered again, he mentioned Christie Road, but changed his mind and the played Going to Pasalacqua. They then played all their hits, including Knowledge, they had a new band come up on stage, they were pretty good, they sprayed the fans with beer, a water gun, and water bottles. Then after When I Come Around they smashed the stage, and then rebuilt a mini drumset for Tre and finished with Macy's Day Parade. Tre ended by throwing the new bass drum in to the old heap he'd just destroyed." |

Mike: "Me and my friend got to Coors and we watched Three Piece Scandal, the local opener, and also one of my favorite local bands. They were good, but had a few technical problems. Anyway at 7, Living End started, they were great and they played for about 45 minutes. They played songs like “Dirty Man”, “Roll On”, “Prisoner of Society”, and “Second Solution”. I forgot the other songs. On to the main event, at about 8, the warning lights went on and Green Day started their set with “Nice Guys Finish Last”. After the song, Billie Said, “Hey if someone looks like they’re gonna fall down, help em up and get um the fuck outta there this isnt a fuckin football game this is punk rock music!” The band continued into the set, and before “Church on Sunday” Billie said, “There’s too many holes on the floor fill up those fuckin holes!” so everyone rushed towards the stage. The played a lot of their popular songs and then they played the requests, “Dissapearing Boy” and “2000 light years away” then the op ivy cover,“Knowledge” where the brass section was introduced. During knowledge, Billie invited some guys from the pit to finish the song and he called the new band “the fucking assholes”. The fucking assholes played “JAR” and Billie sang. The set continued on and “Basket Case was a really big crowd pleaser. Later on, they played “King for a day” which was a pleasant surprise. They played “Minority” and then went off stage. The encore started and Billie played “good riddance”. After they played “Platypus”, “Warning”, and “when I come around”. Tre lit his kit on fire, and mike threw his bass on the flames. Then while the equipment was burning, they closed with “Macy’s Day Parade”. Green Day played songs from all the albums, and played for 2 hours. It was a great show and my voice was gone from singing along so loud. It was one of the most kick ass concerts I’ve ever been to and I will never forget it. I’ll be sure to support Green Day on the next tour. Thanks for a great show Green Day." |

"Me and my friend Kelly both really love Green Day, but that was the first time either of us had seen them live, and let me tell you, it was great. We got their plenty early to get good seats and sat around waiting for at least an hour. Finally, Green Day came out and opened right away with Nice Guys Finish Last, like all the other shows on the tour so far. They played around with the crowd in between just about every song. At one point, Billie told us to help up people who fall in the moshpits or after crowdsurfing, and apparently some jock said 'fuck you' to him. That really pissed Billie off, and he went off on the kid, 'This is my show, it's not a fucking football game. I swear to God if you don't help those kids up I'll come down their and fuck you up your fucking ass.' He tore into the kid for a few minutes, saying 'fuck' whenever possible, it was great. When they pulled up people from the crowd to form the new band, a friend of mine named Tony Martinez was pulled up to play guitar. This kid has a band of his own out here and just about all they play is Green Day, so it was probably a dream come true (as lame as that sounds) for him. They also did their usual heavy metal covers and even messed around singing hooks from Britney Spears and NSync and such, and everyone booed when they asked if they should play some Limp Bizkit, it was funny." |

"Green Day played an AMAZING show in Vegas Wednesday night. The band had so much energy. I was suprised at how small the place was, like a high school gym. We stood a couple rows back in the center. We saw Adrienne a lot. She was walking back and forth in front of us with two other girls. She's a really small girl. Then she went on the side of the stage and sat down in some special seats. After a set change the siren lights started spinning and Mike and Tre came out and everyone cheered, then Billie walked out casually and the crowd went nuts. They broke right in to Nice Guys Finish Last. Billie told the people sitting in the seats to get up because 'this isn't a fucking blackjack table, get off your asses and dance!' The guys that played the horns came out and the guy in the bee costume was dancing around. Billie squirted us with supersoakers and, of course, he brought up people from the crowd to play Knowledge, they sounded OK. Tre bashed his drums and Mike threw his guitar in the pile of drums. It ended at 11:00. It was a great show. Too bad like 80% of the people there were teenybopper little 14-year-olds in trendy clothes." |

Elias: "This review is for Green Day's show at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver CO, on July 27th 2001. I was a little late arriving at the auditorium, so I missed the Living End. Green Day came on a little after 9, and the place went crazy. They played an impressive mix of songs from all their releases, and mostly songs everyone knows such as Basket Case and When I Come Around. Billie Joe took a few requests, and Tre Cool played All By Myself, and then they played 2000 Light Years Away as a request as well. There were several points at which water bottles were emptied onto the pit and Bille Joe sprayed the balcony with a water gun. He also put his hand down his pants and moaned for a few minutes between songs. The highlight of the show was during Knowledge when Billie Joe pulled three kids up from the pit to play the instruments. He did threaten each and every one of them if they were lying about their musical skills, which fortunately they were not. As the three impromptu musicians played out the rest of knowledge, Billie Joe sang the song and Mike and Tre coached their "protégés". They ended the song by having the kids stage dive back into the pit. They ended with Time of Your Life, then played Warning as a last encore. All in all, it was the best punk show I have ever seen and well worth the ticket price. When Green Day comes back to Denver, I will be there once again." |

"This was my first Green Day concert (they're my all-time favorite band) and I didn't know what was coming. I have been a fan for 7 years but this was the first concert I was old enough to go to. Let me tell you about this place called Saltair. It's a little place probably meant to hold no more than 2500 people but there were probably 3500 because this is Green Day - the greatest band ever. It's right on the edge of the Great Salt Lake. Basically, it smells like raw sewage (but that didn't bother us because it was covered up by the smell of sweat, cigarettes, and marijuana). Anyways, while everyone was waiting for Green Day to come on this nice lady kept pouring water on the hot, sweaty, packed crowd from the balcony. Little did we know that was actually Billie Joe's mom (he introduced her). When Green Day came on a little before 8:30 everyone in the place went absolutely crazy. This was the coolest concert I have ever seen and ever will. It was an amazing setlist. Throughout the whole show Billie Joe kept the crowd very into it by leading the crowd in chants, spraying us with beer, huge squirt guns, and water bottles. It was funny when the guy from the crowd picked to play guitar for Knowledge got a big wet kiss on the lips from Billie Joe, then he made all three of them stagedive. It was very amusing to see a grown man play trumpet during King For A Day in a bumblebee suit. Throughout Time Of Your Life I was on the verge of crying. Trust me, that's a pretty big deal for me, I'm not quite the emotional type. After When I Come Around Tre totally thrashed his drumset. They had to set up a mini-set consisting of a snare, bass, and symbal for him to finish with Macy's Day Parade. During Platypus the moshes were crazy and I got hit in the nose by some dude. The funny thing is I don't even remember it hurting at all when it happened - I guess I was too caught up in the experience to notice it hurt." |

skippynixx: "Nice! I swear when they played it [The Ballad Of Wilhelm Fink] here, I was the only one cheering. It was early on in the show. I remember it was boom and in to it and done. Can't recall anyone knowing what was being played."
Ryan: "I was at the show in Vancouver last night. It was pretty damn good. They drew a pretty huge crowd considering there was minimal publicity for the show. It was also a really young crowd which surprised me, I had no idea Green Day were still cool with the kids. It made me feel old. I was totally stoked to hear The Ballad Of Wilhelm Fink but the crowd did a collective 'HUH?' and gave zero reaction which kind of killed it. Oh well. Other highlights... There was almost a riot when Billie asked if the crowd liked Limp Bizkit. There was a huge cheer, which immediately got drowned out by boo's. Billie laughed and said, 'That wasn't fair, it was a loaded question.' Funny stuff. Crowd went crazy for the fan band who were actually really good. The drummer (who couldn't have been more than 16 or 17) was kicking ass, not even missing a beat while Tre poured a beer down his throat. Crowd loved it. Crowd also went bat-shit when the trumpet bee-guy played O Canada in front of the drum bonfire. What else... Pasalacqua and 2000 Light Years were fan requests, which Billie said had to be pre-1994. They teased Paper Lanterns and 409 but didn't play them (if you ask me, their 'crowd requests' were predetermined). For whatever reason, Minority and Hitchin' A Ride got two of the best reactions of the night. Crowd seemed to be WAY more into the new stuff, even staples like Longview and When I Come Around didn't get the cheers those ones did. Me and my friends were singing along like idiots to Longview and all these kids are looking at us like were mutants. They're the classics, dammit! Anyways, strong set, even though it seemed a bit forced at times (they're still pulling out the same stage banter - everybody say hey-ho - that they were using in '95 the first time I saw them). That and it didn't really seem to miss a beat from the reviews I've read from the current tour. No surprises really at all." |

Donn Bennett: "The first time I met Tre Cool was probably around 10 years ago. I pick up the phone and the guy on the other end asks if I have have any 1920's Ludwig Black Beauty snare drums in stock. I had a couple of them and started telling him about them. He says he from out of town and could we meet in downtown Seattle since he doesn’t have a car. We try to figure out a place to meet and he asks me if I know where the Paramount Theater is. The Paramount is a legendary concert venue in Seattle. I’d been to hundreds of shows there. He says he playing there tonight and could I meet him there. Of course I ask him who he’s playing with. He replies, 'Green Day.' I ask him if he’s Tre Cool. Why didn’t you say so?!? I brought him the drum. He liked it. He had someone go get him some cash and he returned with a big stack of hundreds and counted them out for me. He had us stay for their sound check and the show. That guy is an amazing drummer. I think he’s the best of the punk-pop drummers. The way he drives that band with the super steady, driving eighth notes on the hi hat is like no other drummer. Very interesting character too. Ever since then he always calls or comes by the shop when he’s in town. Hopefully they will be back on the road again soon." |

Simone Don: "After a FIFTY-MINUTE wait between bands, Green Day finally came on and opened with Nice Guys Finish Last. Crowd went nuts so I promptly moved from my spot close-ish to the stage, to further back where I wouldn't get kicked and could dance freely. The energy was up from the beginning (as always) and crowds was lapping it up. Castaway kept the energy up as it seems we forget how good a song it is until we get the chance to see it live and go nuts! The set continued on in high spirits with Billie Joe frequently insisting we 'hey-oh' after him. I was hoping that after 4 years he'd be over that, but apparently not. I have to say I groan when he starts up with that! Hitchin' A Ride brings out the bounciest dance moves in us all which is rather exhausting. The stretching out near the end of the song is a welcome rest. Once again we were subjected to 'hey-oh' and learning how to count to four for the big count in for the song's tremendous ending. While I needed the rest, I'd have rather just they played the song all the way through. More on that later. Request time came and to my DELIGHT some genius down the front got my telepathic message of Going To Pasalaqua and passed it on to Billie Joe. I had been wanting to hear this live since before I first saw them in '96. This was a real dream come true for me! I jumped and danced and leapt until I was out of breath. This in itself made my night as I love this song so much! Note: I'd like to especially NOT thank my friends Sam and Tracey in Australia who, after one show in '96, wrote a gay 'note' to give to the band to get them to play One Of My Lies at the next night's show, refused to include my Going To Pasalacqua request, so screw you both because you have never heard One Of My Lies live and I finally got my song, HA! Expecting the request portion of the show, I had some plans but I got lazy and didn't get around to making my 86 sign. I could see some champ down near the front flashing eight fingers, then six fingers repeatedly. He did his best, but it never turned up. Now as great as everything was, there was one major problem, in my opinion. It can get a little tedious when a band lets the song run for several minutes while they pump up the crowd, talk shit, get people onstage or whatever. Usually you come to expect these things, so you can deal with it, but I think Green Day went waaay overboard this time! They drew out FIVE songs with 'hey-oh' and other stuff and it was completely ANNOYING and BORING! I hate to say it because I look forward to Green Day shows so much. But dragging that many songs out really weakens the pace of the show. They did it on Hitchin' A Ride, the cover where they get people on stage to play the instuments, one other song (I forget which), then in the encore on Minority and Platypus right after each other! It really pushed me over the edge those last time. Much eyeball rolling was going on at that time, sorry! It would be tedious enough on it's own, but since it is just always 'hey-oh' and counting '1-2-1-2-3-4' it is even worse. It just bums me out a lot because the show was perfect in every other way. (Except Good Riddance, which I hate. That's never a good moment for me.) So while I DID just go on a bit of a tirade, I still stand by the show as being great. Green Day's shows are so energetic and fun that even with ongoing dull spots like they had, the show is still memorable. There is enough good stuff in any Green Day show to make up for the dud times. Perhaps they did me a favour. Perhaps my head would have exploded from overexcitement had they not done that? Ponder..." |

"After a gruelling first day of the festival that saw some interesting bands, but no one to fuss over, the time was here. After years and years of waiting I was finally going to see Green Day, WOO-HOO! The anticipation was there and when the trio came onstage the crowd went mad. Then Billy started to play the opening chords to Welcome To Paradise and the crowd went mad (including me) shouting out all the lyrics to the classic song. It really did surprise me just how well the crowd knew these songs, we're talking about 50,000 people here after all! After the Dookie classic we had a taste of Hitchin' A Ride which once again had the crowd really going wild. It made me wonder if I was going to survive this set because the opening two songs had me jumping all around the place like a wild animal. Billie was on his usual top form as he kept using his hi-tech (heh) water pistol to water down the crowd, we did appreciate it. His participation was top as well as he continually got the crowd doing 'hey-oh's' which he made longer and longer everytime. We were treated to the usual classics which everyone rocked out to including Longview, Basket Case, Brain Stew, She, etc. but the newer songs like Waiting (dedicated to the Foo Fighters' Taylor Hawkins) and Minority were the one's which impressed me because I never expected them to be so good live. Once again though everyone knew the words and the songs kicked ass, some more participation from Billie including him telling the crowd to shout out, 'GO HOME YOU YANKEE BASTARD!' We of course obliged him with which made him happy as he declared how much he loved us. It was that kind of attitude which made me really enjoy the set, Billie got the crowd so jacked up and participating that we all felt part of the show and when he got three members of the crowd (which took about 10 minutes) to play drums, bass and guitar while he sang Knowledge just sums up how good a performance it was. Then the best song of the night kicked in as the opening chords to When I Come Around was played and the crowd (obviously) went wild. I've always liked this song but since then it has now become one of my favourite Green Day songs because it was played with such meaning and sincerity. Everyone can really relate to that type of song and that only makes it stronger. Tre then proceeded to smash up his drums and set them on fire with a combination of beer and lighter fuel which got a huge crowd reaction. Once he was finished it left Billie alone to finish off the set with Macy's Day Parade which was a damn fine personal performance. The crowd willed him to play Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) but he didn't and that was it over and done with. It was the joint best performance of the weekend with the Manic Street Preachers and I'll never forget it. Now I need to see them live at a gig so I can enjoy more of a setlist as Green Day were only allocated a one hour set as the 2nd headlining band of the day. Those guys truly do rock." |

Matt: "Having seen Green Day gigs on TV I knew roughly what to expect and my hopes were high for the first time I'd see Green Day. However I didn't expect it to be as awesome as it turned out to be. From the moment PJ Harvey finished her set the masses gathered in anticipation as quickly as they left before moaning Scots Travis were about to come on, it was obvious who the fans were here to see. Really it was the perfect show, they gave the crowd everything the wanted, and more. The only bad thing about the show was that they weren't headlining and that they only played 1 hour(or just a little over). Just about every song they played was doubled in length to build up crowd excitement for one last run through of the chorus. They sounded brilliant, the crowd reacted accordingly and of all the bands I saw at Leeds they were by far the best. The show ended with Tre drumming away with the smoke from the remains of his drum kit all around him and Billie Joe leading the crowd in the, sadly only one song, encore that being Macy's Day Parade. If Travis weren't due on in 15 minutes I'm fairly sure they could've of played on all night, or at least until they collapsed. They could've have played on anyway and I think 85% of the crowd would have been happier with that than seeing Travis at all, this was proved in the masses heading back to their campsites or to the Evening Session Stage to see Ash. They thoroughly proved why they deserved to win the 'Classic Songwriter' Kerrang! award a week later, and I cannot wait until they come back to England."
Kerrang: "GREEN DAY(KKKK) always seemed a bit, well, crap really, when they were playing smaller venues, but here at Reading they are every inch the headline band (sadly there's still Travis to go through) and ironically manage to convey far more of an intimate feel than ever. Who else could form an impromptu band from audience members and yet still get thousands of people singing along to every tune? And perversely they seem far more punk now than they ever did, with a genuine sense that they are having as good a time as any of us and really couldn't give a toss what anyone thinks about it! So much so that at the end of their set, Tre Cool builds a pyramid out of his drum kit and sets it alight, while Billie Joe strums away happily in front of the spectacle." |

Ryan: "A long wait was finally ended when the lights blazed and sirens echoed round the green…. they then appeared (Billie, Mike & Tre), many of the around 15,000 crowd where at the main stage to witness a brilliant performance by Californian punks Green Day. The show was kicked off in excellent fashion with “Welcome To paradise”, Followed by “Hitchin’ a ride”, “Longview”-(for which Billie wore a mask) and then a short rendition of black Sabbath’s “iron man”. “Brain stew” was then to follow along with “jaded”. The speed then slowed as the band played their version of operation ivy’s “knowledge”. Towards the end of the song in customary fashion, Billie Joe invited a drummer on stage, the 1st was not liked by tre, so another was invited up, and he was not to tre’s standard either. Billie decided, “Fuck it, can anyone play the guitar?” He got a guitarist up, who seemed bemused by the whole thing, but never the less, played the song. After the song, the fan then asked Billie if he could play basket case, Billie replied “if you can do it, go ahead, but if you cant fucking do it, don’t try” He gave it a try, but couldn’t play it, so The guitar was removed from his shoulders and placed back on Billie’s…as the song continued, with a huge amount of the crowd singing along. The next song was “King for a day”; Billie was wearing a crown at this point. New songs “Waiting” and “Minority” where next; which went down a storm. The traditional burning of the drum kit followed, Tre looked as if he was made to burn drums, a professional drum burner!, Mike dirnt joined in the chaos, smashing his bass into the fire, and storming off. Billie looked on, strumming his guitar with force. Seconds later, he approached the microphone, and played “Time of your life” from the album “Nimrod”, Mike crouched on the stage looking on at Billie in appreciation of the song…. Tre was still wandering about looking mischievous. Green day left the stage after their hour long set. Only one word could describe their performance…. Excellent (as ever)." |

Chris Page: "A funny thing happened to punk rock on its way to the concert arena. It cleaned up its act. It started violating the 40-minute rule - which says no punk band should play for longer than 40 minutes, for fear of getting boring. And it incorporated flashy lights and 'Beavis and Butt-head'-worthy pyrotechnics. At least that was the case with the first show of the 'Pop Disaster Tour,' with headlining acts Green Day and blink-182. If there is one fatal flaw to the 'Pop Disaster Tour,' it's that there's too much good stuff. By the time Green Day left the stage and blink-182 started into its first song, the crowd was noticeably drained. Credit Green Day for delivering a show which, although wasn't all that much different from its last Warning tour (including filler moments wherein budding musicians from the audience were called up and played Green Day's instruments), still managed to be the peak of the evening."
Launch: "Pop-punk juggernauts Blink 182 and Green Day kicked off their Pop Disaster co-headlining tour Wednesday (April 17) at the Centennial Garden in Bakersfield, California. Each of the group's 90-minute sets featured a steady string of signature songs and ample use of ear-blowing pyrotechnics. Green Day, who performed after opening act Jimmy Eat World, offered the first of such enhancements at the close of its first song, Maria, which was punctuated by a burst of flames and a cannon shot so loud it jarred many in the arena. The Northern California trio appeared in mid-tour form, playing an aggressive, spirited set that covered much ground, from early hits like Longview and Basket Case to 2000's Minority and the aforementioned Maria, a new song from the group's International Superhits! collection last year. Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong worked the crowd at every turn with singalongs, the use of a supersoaker water gun, and a profanity-laced call-and-response pitting sections of the crowd against each other. The group also pulled three fans from the pit to take over its instruments for several minutes. Armstrong tells LAUNCH that his goal on this tour is just to have fun. 'Just go out and have a good time, really. This is the first time that I can honestly say I'm gonna go out and just have fun,' he says. 'That's it, pretty much. And, I don't know, destroy everything.' Green Day was occasionally augmented by a second guitarist and a trumpet and horn players." |

OC Register: "Officially, Blink-182 and Green Day are 'co-headlining' the Pop Disaster Tour, which opened the 2002 concert season at Verizon Wireless Amphitheater in Irvine this past weekend. This suggests that the two California pop-punk trios are more or less on equal footing, but clearly, some co-headliners are more equal than others. Blink-182 has taken up semi-permanent residency in the modern-rock charts for the past few years, while Green Day is close to becoming a nostalgia act, its last real hit being the mawkish prom theme Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) in 1997. As the hotter band, the boys of Blink get to close the show, relegating Billie Joe Armstrong and his mates to the role of 'opening headliner.' Still there was no doubt who the star was Saturday night. From the moment he took the stage, Billie Joe was the ringleader, the master of ceremonies, the guy in charge. Dissatisfied with a tranquil and thinly populated mosh pit, he commanded fans to move down from their seats and demanded that security let them through. The crowd-surfing could then begin in earnest, as the band launched into Longview. Moments later, Billie Joe was the enforcer, stopping midway through Welcome to Paradise to stare down a brawling fan. 'Look at me!' he ordered. 'Stop fighting!' With the show firmly in his control, he led his band through a briskly paced set that mixed the expected hits (Brain Stew, Basket Case, When I Come Around) with a few surprises (the Green Day oldie Disappearing Boy and a quick take on the Isley Brothers' Shout.) Looking very much the early '80s power-popster in short-sleeved black shirt and skinny white tie, Armstrong also appeared trimmer - and a bit more sober - than he has in past performances. He had energy in abundance, regularly climbing atop stacks of speakers to deliver his solos, which kept the near-capacity crowd on its feet. Billie Joe even affirmed the DIY ethos of punk by inviting three members of the audience to sub for the band. While the amateur drummer was found wanting and kicked off the stage - even in punk, you've gotta have standards - the fans who played bass and guitar acquitted themselves well." |

Kevin Raub: "From there, 'Pop Disaster' is putting it mildly, more like 'Pop Apocalypse' without a heavenly ending. To say Green Day and Blink-182's act is stale would be to say the Pope is Catholic. Musically, Green Day is still viable, the crunchy guitar attack of Welcome to Paradise and 2,000 Light Years Away still a powerful force live. But it has come to a point where something a little more thrilling needs to happen to make the show more interesting. The band's 16-song set was peppered with pyro, profanity ('Somebody fuck me now!' - Billie Joe Armstrong after Hitchin' a Ride), and confetti, but musically, the band was simply dry and uninspiring. There were moments: A supplemental second guitarist added spunk to Maria and Minority, and a set-closing rendition of Good Riddance (Time of Your Life), featuring Armstrong on solo electric guitar, became a edgier, sped-up affair worth hearing twice. But in the end, it was the silliness of a horn section consisting of a bumblebee, a chicken, and two mariachis; and Green Day's same ol' same ol' that dogged the show and, unfortunately, a band that is extremely talented." |

San Francisco Chronicle: "Sometimes playing last at a rock show is more a curse than a privilege. Pity the headliner, for instance, that gets blown off the stage by the band before it. Blink-182 endured that indignity Saturday at the Shoreline Amphitheatre, where the trio found itself eclipsed by Green Day, its co-headliner on the Pop Disaster Tour, which reaches the Arena in Oakland tonight. Blink's 60-minute, paint-by-numbers set paled in the aftermath of the Oakland punk-pop pioneers' rousing performance. There's poetic justice in this: Blink-182 closed the night because it's a fresh, though hardly inspired, band selling albums by the millions; Green Day is less platinum-plated these days, but broke ground for Blink and others by taking punk-pop to the top of the charts in the '90s. Yet judging by Saturday's sets, Green Day remains the hotter band. Following a brief set by opening act Jimmy Eat World, the trio - assisted by extra guitarist Jason White - launched its 75-minute set with the new song Maria, then barreled through a string of greatest hits that kept the crowd singing along even as it danced itself breathless. Looking like a vintage punk in a black shirt and a skinny white tie, singer- guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong was a consummate ham, leaping and bouncing across the stage, goading fans, climbing on stacks of speakers to shower the audience with a squirt gun and leading the group through spastic punk jam sessions. Bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool, also in fashionable black, played with their usual kinetic abandon. The set list included standard favorites (Longview, Welcome To Paradise, Brain Stew, When I Come Around, Basket Case and the acoustic Good Riddance), newer anthems (Minority, Waiting) and some surprises (the Green Day oldie Disappearing Boy, covers of an Operation Ivy song and Sweet Home Alabama, two horn players dressed in mariachi outfits). Amid its cavalcade of hits, the band took time to show that it hasn't lost its punk ethics - first by inviting the crowd up to the front of the stage, then by pulling three young fans onstage to form an impromptu band that produced at least one star-for-a-night: blue-mohawked, 13-year-old Jacob 'Jake' Willis of Newark, who rocked his bass like a pro." |

sacramento.com: "The Pop Disaster Tour, which features blink-182 and Green Day, is a meeting of pop-punk's wunderkinds. But next time around, the show's organizers might as well add Motley Crue to the bill. As it turned out, the Pop Disaster concert, which reached the AutoWest Amphitheatre on Sunday night, was packed with pyrotechnics, flashpots and a rotating drum cage, to boot. Punk rock was originally a music stripped of pretense and pageantry, but judging by Pop Disaster, has punk become the new arena rock? Then again, blink-182 and Green Day long ago ditched their punk credibility for major-label status, multiplatinum sales and massive teen followings. And with Pop Disaster sponsored by the kiddie-oriented beverage YooHoo, you could bet that most die-hard punkers didn't dare bring their egg white-starched Mohawk hairdos anywhere near the place. So there's no going back to 924 Gilman Street, the punker-than-thou Berkeley club that gave Green Day its start. But it should be remembered that Green Day wasn't always the toast of Gilman Street. Even in its formative years, the Bay Area trio was knocked by punk purists for its sophomoric subject matter and endless tunes about puppy-love crushes (e.g., At the Library, Why Do You Want Him). Still, the band's unbridled energy and tenacity on the small-club circuit transformed Green Day into a formidable live act. Throughout Green Day's 75-minute set, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong often played master of ceremonies, mugging endlessly, leading the audience through numerous singalongs and inspiring collective arm-swaying. These are all proven arena-rock techniques, but the set's momentum was sometimes sullied through such diversions. One 10-minute sequence that featured three audience members selected to play on stage as a makeshift band was cute, but perhaps the time could've been better used to feature some early Green Day favorites (how about 80, Disappearing Boy or The One I Want?). Green Day simply didn't need all the audience pandering and pyrotechnic punches. The band was musically powerful enough on its own when romping through such signature songs as When I Come Around, 2000 Light Years Away and She. Sure, there were some goofy touches, including horn players dressed as chickens, bees and mariachis, and a cover of Shout. But the band nailed its dynamic push-and-pulls (Longview, Minority) and played with a ferocity that stirred mosh pits and waves of crowd surfers. Perhaps Green Day packed an extra pow because of Jason White, a touring guitarist who doubled up on some of the band's riffs and allowed guitarist-singer Armstrong to concentrate more on his vocal duties." |

Green Day's Portion Of Tonight's Pop Disaster Gig To Benefit Local Hospital @ Launch: here.
Green Day's Mike Dirnt and Billie Joe Armstrong tell LAUNCH. "In Oakland of all places, I mean, they have an incredible trauma unit and all that stuff. It's a great hospital. I've been in and out of there a couple times with my kiddo, you know? It's just a great charity. I mean, hey, it's a hospital, how bad can it be?," Dirnt says.
Armstrong adds, "Plus, you know, Tre (Cool)'s been in and out of Children's Hospital his entire life, either breaking something or in the psych ward. And then my kids and his kids and Mike's kids will probably do the same thing."
Armstrong continues, "We've been dicked over on some charities but this organization is solid and everyone's money [from] tickets is going directly to Children's Hospital." |

On October 9th, 2024, a Reddit user claimed that Green Day opened with "Ha Ha You're Dead" and did not play "Maria". Although not impossible, this claim has never been made anywhere else online in the 22 years since this show took place. If anyone who attended this show can either corroborate or deny this claim, please contact us (GreenDayLive.fm)
yitbosaz: "I saw them in 2002 in Salt Lake City (Pop Disaster tour with Blink 182), and they opened the show with Ha Ha You're Dead. It was before Shenanigans came out, so I'd never heard it, and I thought they were saying 'A holiday, a holiday, a holiday' and was singing along by the end of the song. The album came out two months later and I was excited that the song was on it, and it's been my favorite track on the album ever since. That could possibly be the only time it was ever played, as I haven't been able to find any recordings, and they had been opening with 'Maria' for most of that tour... I know Maria was the usual opener on the tour, and the rest is probably correct but on Setlist FM, they just have the same list for every show. I wish I had a recording to prove, but I knew the song Maria, they did not play it at all that night. Being years before YouTube, social media, phone videos, etc, I was all over the internet trying to track down the song I thought was called 'A Holiday' until Shenanigans came out. I thought it was probably a cover at the time, so I was searching other punk bands they had covered"
Scott Iwasaki: " The better the bands, the harder they work. At least that's what happened last night at the Blink 182/Green Day/Jimmy Eat World concert in the E Center. When Jimmy Eat World opened the night - which will go down in history as the Pop Disaster Tour - the energy in the air could have powered a small city. Never has Green Day played a more explosive set. And it had to, just to keep the momentum rolling. Hailing from Berkeley, Calif., Green Day - guitarist/vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool - took the audience on a quirky trip that included some heavy punk rock and ska-punk anthems. Basket Case and Welcome to Paradise bounced the audience in the seats and had the general admission crowd surfing and moshing. Then, with a smile and little punk-rock attitude, Armstrong announced he needed three volunteers to take over Green Day instruments during a rousing cover of Operation Ivy's Knowledge. Three amateur Salt Lakers jumped on stage and took over the drum, bass and guitar, while Armstrong sang the final verse. Armstrong was so impressed with the local guitarist that he actually gave him a guitar as a souvenir. The set ended with Cool stage-diving into his drum set and Dirnt smashing his bass. The encore featured a solo Armstrong singing Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)." |

SPIN: "Green Day were up next, sprinting onstage like linebackers out of a huddle and immediately slamming into the rocking Maria, one of the previously unreleased songs on 2001's International Superhits! compilation. Shucking off their increasingly mellow public demeanor, Green Day seemed reborn. The superhits shot out like streams of water from the water cannon that singer/guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong occasionally used to drench the crowd; the band took care of Longview, Welcome To Paradise, and Brain Stew in the first ten minutes. At one point, Armstrong plucked three fans out of the audience to take over the band's instruments for a version of Operation Ivy's Knowledge. Armstrong played the jacked-up chorus leader, French-kissing the dude on guitar and instructing the jazzy bassist not to 'get fancy.' When the song ended, he gave his young understudy an electric guitar as a parting gift. After a solo encore of the unabashedly sentimental Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life), featuring 1,001 teens holding up their cell phones (the 21st-century lighter), Armstrong stomped off to raging applause." |

Adrienne Hundley: "After Jimmy Eat World came the excitement and craziness of Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt, a.k.a. Green Day. Their set started with alarms, spotlights and a whole lot of crowd energy. The music was awesome and pretty much everyone in the arena was jumping around at the order of Billie Joe, who acted (and was treated) like king during the whole Green Day performance. The band played old and semi-new hits, including Basket Case, She, Longview, Warning and Minority. During an especially crowd-oriented part of the show, three audience members were dragged up from the mosh pit to play a song together, one on drums, one on bass and one on guitar. Their performance drove the crowd even wilder. At the end of the set, Tre ran through his drum set, Mike smashed his bass and Billie Joe played the popular Good Riddance on an acoustic guitar."
"I loved it, although I was let down by Blink. I figured Green Day was the headliner but they weren't, it was Blink and they weren't worthy of it. I'm not being biased, but Green Day had the best non-pop concert I've ever seen in person. They worked the crowd, played perfect and sounded great. They played for about an hour and 45 minutes; a set including basically the entire Dookie album, some from Insomniac and a few of their new songs. Blink on the other hand tried to be really funny and all, but their jokes weren't too great. They only played for about an hour but the ending was good. They also sounded like poo." |

Courtney: "We got there at about 5:00pm and there were already about 100 people there waiting in line. The merchandise stand was outside by the line. I spent over $100 on Green Day stuff. The doors opened at about 6:30pm and we went right to the front of the stage all the way on the left. Saves The Day was at the show I was at, and they came on at like 7:30 PM. I didn't like them too much, the lead singer's voice sounded whiny. They played for about 45 minutes. After another half hour of waiting, Green Day finally came on to the sound of sirens and red lights. I thought people were booing, but then I figured out it was just the sound of the sirens. The first song they played was Maria. I don't remember exactly which song was next, but at one point Billie yelled out, 'How many old school Green Day fans do we have here?' I was just like, 'YEAH!' There were so many preppy kids there, though. That's when they went into Knowledge. He picked some fans out of the crowd. The drummer did good. They had a choice between two bass players, so Billie had Mike think of a number and each of the kids had to guess. The first kid got on stage, but Billie said that he sucked, so he brought up the second kid. Then he went to pick the person who would play his guitar. He picked a kid with a NOFX shirt on and he was like, 'I don't even like NOFX.' He let him up anyway. The kid had to tap Billie's shoulder to get his attention, and then he went to give Billie a hug. After the hug Billie just grabbed his face and kissed him on the mouth (lucky bastard). After they were done playing, Billie said to the kid that he played the guitar better than him and that he could keep it. That's really nice of him to do that. When Hitchin' A Ride came on, Billie was masturbating. He cried, 'I think I'm gonna cum! Somebody FUCK me!' I lost it, I was like, 'YEAH!' and started jumping and shit. Those were the highlights of Green Day's show. It was cool when he was drenching everyone with a supersoaker and a water bottle. There was also lots of confetti, and they said Green Day 2002 on them. The last song was Time Of Your Life, and I had my lighter out before anyone else. After Green Day's show ended and I felt like I was drunk. I had 'Green Day Fucken Rocks' on my arms and 'Green Day' on my forehead written in a black marker. That was truly the best show I ever went to, and I went to a lot. Cheers to the best day of my life, in 2002 that is." |

Cassie: "Finally Green Day came on. The crowd was pumped. They played Maria first, but I really don't remember it being that I was in the front. Billie Joe was really excited. The next songs were Longview, Welcome To Paradise, and then I totally forget. I'm so pissed I didn't get my camera in, because I never wanna forget when Billie Joe had his hands in his pants or lifted his shirt. When Billie asked for a bass and guitar player for Knowledge, we pointed to the guys next to us (they were really nice and kept us from being smashed into the barricade) and Billie Joe picked him. During Minority and When I Come Around I got pushed to the fourth row which was the most painful thing I've ever gone through. Me and about 30 other people just completely fell. During Time Of Your Life I decided to push my way to the front. I think I liked Shout the best. Especially when Billie Joe had a cape on and did the whole James Brown thing. I also got a part of Tre's drumstick."
Ed Masley: "Green Day opening for Blink-182 is kind of like the Buzzcocks being made to open Green Day's Dookie tour in '94. Of course, it puts more bodies in the seats. But where's the sense of history, the sense of justice? To their credit, the members of Green Day didn't seem to care much either way as they plowed through the hits for a crowd of 15,157 at the Post-Gazette Pavilion Saturday. In fact, they worked the stage like it was their show, bashing out such timeless hooks as Basket Case, Welcome to Paradise, She and Longview with a reckless sense of urgency that would have made it feel like 1994 again if Waiting, pulled from Green Day's latest album, hadn't been the most inspired moment of their set. They opened with an even newer song, Maria. Recorded for last year's hits collection, it already had the feel of one of Green Day's concert staples, fast and raucous, with some killer fills from drummer Tre Cool and a sound so massive, I assumed it had a lot to do with the second guitarist Green Day never introduced until he went away and Longview sounded just as massive. It's hard to imagine a band in modern rock that could have stocked a 90-minute set with half as many worthwhile hits as Green Day did. And there were hits they didn't even get a chance to play, but those they did included Brain Stew, the thrashing-est Jaded ever, When I Come Around, Hitchin' A Ride, Minority and a solo electric performance by Billie Joe Armstrong of Good Riddance (Time of Your Life). The hits alone would be enough to entertain your average crowd, of course, but half the entertainment value of a Green Day set will always be the Armstrong show. The man was born to entertain, clowning his way through all the greatest rock-star moves in history, from Elvis Presley's pelvic thrust to Roger Daltrey's spinning mike to Jimi Hendrix's guitar behind the head. He even dropped and did a breakdance move. But the highlight of Armstrong's shenanigans came at the end of a spirited cover of Shout. The crown he'd donned to lead the band in King For A Day still on his head, he dropped down to his knees, and as he knelt there, an assistant brought a cape out, draping it over his shoulders in a punk-rock tribute to the great James Brown. It was hilarious. He also did that thing where he assembles a band out of audience members during Operation Ivy's Knowledge. Saturday, he took the gesture one step further, letting Matt Tanner of Newcastle keep the Fender Fat Strat he'd been playing (after mistakenly telling the crowd his name was Ben). At one point, Armstrong even stuck his arm inside his pants and pretended to pleasure himself in an obvious bid to keep up with the grade-school humor of the guys in Blink-182. He would have had to try a whole lot harder. But it'll be a while before they have enough good songs to turn in a set that's as solid as Green Day's. And by then, their drummer will have hopefully had time to learn some taste from watching Cool." |

Jim: "Green Day came out and everyone got to their feet. They played Maria from International Superhits first and then went right into another song (maybe Longview). But Green Day's whole show was awesome. Billie Joe exercised his complete control of the crowd plenty of times. It was awesome how I could tell my friends what was going to happen before it did. Just proved how much I knew about Green Day. Mad props to the band for pulling fans up on stage and teaching them to play a cover song. Billie Joe still sang, though. Everyone thought they were done because Tre Cool trashed the drumset and left with Mike. Billie Joe was out of the spotlight by his amps and I could tell he was tuning the guitar, because they have just finished playing some old song. I was telling everyone there was one more song, but they wouldn't believe me. Billie Joe walked up to the mic and started playing Good Riddance with standing ovation."
James: "They started off with Maria and went into Welcome to Paradise and Longview. Then played Hitchin' A Ride. They asked if everybody was ready and Billie finally stopped the song. Trio walked off stage and everybody was screaming. They came back and finished the song. They started Brain Stew and climbed the amps. He let Mike and Tre finish the song. Billie wet everybody with a water hose. Next song was Jaded. Billie asked everybody if there were some old school Green Day fans. He dedicated this one, 2,000 Light Years Away, to Adrienne. They did Knowledge and Billie was trying to find a drummer, everybody was playing bass/guitar, and he said that he needed a fucking drummer. He finally got a drummer and Tre showed him the ropes and drummer got it. Tre gave the drummer kid signed drumsticks, guitar player got a guitar, bass kid got nothing, but he left the stage by stagediving. Next song was Basket Case. Then was King for a Day and Shout. They played Blood, Sex And Booze! And Warning, Waiting, then Minority, When I Come Around. Final song was Good Riddance."
Kate: "After a 20-minute wait and a guy in a bunny suit doing the YMCA, the curtains went up. Sirens went off and out came Green Day. They opened with Maria, complete with Billie Joe's signature 'leg thing', where he lifted one foot in the air while playing. As that song ended, they moved right into Longview. During the song, Billie led the crowd take over various lines. At the end of that song, Billie addressed the crowd, 'Hello, Philadelphia! How many of you fuckers are from Philidelphia? How many of you fuckers are from New Jersey?' Then he went into a stadium show-esque sing along. When he had finished showing off his ability to hold a note, they played Welcome To Paradise. After that song ended, they went right into Hitchin' A Ride. This, in my opinion, was the most eventful song of the night. The musical interlude came, and the fun began. It started out with Billie leading us in a series of 'hey-oooh' chants. Then, as expected, he faked an orgasm, and made the retarded teenyboppers behind me flip out. I tried not to laugh, but failed miserably. After the cheers died down, he screamed, "1, 2! 1, 2, 3, 4! Are you ready? I said, are you fucking ready!?' The crowd responded by repeating the chant, "1, 2! 1, 2, 3, 4," until Billie screamed, 'SHUT UP!' Then the went back and finished the song." |

Catlin: "I waited a half an hour for my T-shirt, program and hat. We finally got to our seats after a few minutes of push and shove to find that some people took our seats. Turns out they just got confused and were actually up a row. About 30 minutes Saves The Day left, the lights went out and the sirens went off. Green Day stole the show. Billie stuck his hand down his pants and started moaning. Most of the songs were off of International Superhits, except Shout. He sung it so good. He made the crowd make noises. I really liked it. Billie played Disappearing Boy and Knowledge. That's when he formed a band on the stage. It was so good. Blink hit the stage to deliver a disappointing set. I left halfway through. After the concert, I still couldn't stop thinking about the excellent Green Day set." |

Lizo: "Green Day were amazing! I had just seen Paul McCartney for my last now and while few people can beat a Beatle, I think that Green Day did. We snuck up to the first row and my friend went crowdsurfing. I don't tink I've ever had that much fun in my entire life. Sucks that Blink had to be on, though."
Erin: "I was in the mosh pit, so I was a lucky one. Moshing wasn't so hot, but it was the best when Green Day was on. Blink 182 played an OK show, I mean, they were nothing compared to Green Day. Fireworks, and the part where Billie Joe started screaming, 'Someone fuck me!' I was ready to run on the stage. He's so hot. They're definitely the best live band I've ever seen. They really made my first real concert a night to never forget. I still have scars from the moshing, because they were so great. During King For A Day, I was, like, screaming along. Hell, I still have laryngitis from screaming along with every song they played, even 2,000 Light Years Away which not many people really know about, but it's one of my faves."
studiolo.com: "Walking into the most famous arena in the world for a show headlined by Blink-182 and opened by Green Day just didn’t seem right, but it was exciting regardless. Green Day stormed the stage after an opening set by Saves The Day and simply blew the roof off of the Garden. Starting off with Maria, from International Superhits, Billie Joe, Tre and Mike played a mostly all Dookie set and played with the crowd throughout. After Nimrod’s Hitchin’ A Ride, and Insomniac’s Brain Stew/Jaded medley, the boys dug into the older 2,000 Light Years Away, and Operation Ivy’s Knowledge, where three kids were invited onstage to take over instrumental duties from the band. Billie Joe donated the guitar to his young counterpart, and Mike eventually gave a bass that he lit on fire to another lucky kid. After an extended rendition of King For a Day, complete with horn players dressed as a bee and a chicken respectively as well as a cover of Lloyd Williams' Shout, the band ran through Waiting, Minority, and When I Come Around. It was then that Mike torched his bass and Tre destroyed his drumset leaving Billie Joe alone onstage for the closer Time of Your Life. Green Day really showed everybody tonight why they still are one of the best bands and live acts you will ever see." |

Chris: "What can I say? No one can rock an audience like Green Day. After what seemed an eternity of setting up, Green Day took the stage with blaring sirens and red lights. They started with Maria then went into Longview with some fancy pyrotechnics and lighting which caused the crowd to lose their voices early. After rocking the crowd Billie Joe went into an onstage orgasm screaming, 'I'm cumming!' After another song he asked, 'Any classic Green Day fans?' Of course, people who think Dookie was their first album shouted for some dumb reason. I, among others shouted out random song names, so Billie Joe replied, 'It's my fucking band and I'll pick the song!' I was the only one who knew the words to Going To Pasalacqua. After that he went into Knowledge. The people they picked were good except the girl who couldn't even play a simple chord on the guitar. The guy who took over did well and got to keep the guitar. The drummer or bassist got to do a stage dive. They also did a rendition of the song Shout which added to their energy. After a few of their newer songs they went into When I Come Around and finished with torching the bass and Tre falling over his set. With the carnage over and curtain drawn with only Billie Joe remained in front of it under a spotlight he played Good Riddance with lighters blazing the air and the pile of shirts on the ground. Despite everyone's great attempt at getting an encore out of them they left the stage." |

Matt: "Entering the park, I noticed that the main stage was closed off with caution tape a good 50 feet away from the back for soundchecks. This claimed to be amusing for at least a half hour as Green Day who tested and also played most of 2,000 Light Years Away. We decided to make our way over to the second stage where Custom was starting their last song of their set. The second stage had just finished up so the huge mass of 15,000 people had made their way towards the yellow tape. At approximately 5:30 the crowd became restless, and watching contest winners and backstage ticket holders make their way into the theater had become too much. Soveryone bum-rushed the theater. I'd say a good 25% of us had made it into the arena when the guards forced everyone back out onto the lawn. Here they made us wait until 6:30 until they started checking tickets and letting everyone in. At that point I decided to go outside and get a couple of free shots of Yo-hoo. I returned to the blink bunny onstage with a bottle of beer stumbling around. He then pulled out a bong and the crowd went wild. After taking a few hits and blowing smoke into the air, he left the stage with a huge response. The slightest dimming of the light sparked a huge and undeniable roar from everyone in the crowd, even the guards. The sirens an purple lights started, and Green Day kicked off their set with Maria and a couple explosions making everyone sing at the top of their lungs. Outside, the lawn crowded like a madhouse, people began moshing in what I called the black hole a huge dimple in the crowd filled by a few people running into each other and knocking each other over. People also began surfing and disappearing for seconds at a time. Anyway, Green Day finished up Maria, went into Longview in which, during multiple parts of the song, and many songs afterward, he led the crowd to fill in the blanks and sing main chorus phrases and such. Billie Joe pretty much had the crowd in the palm of his hand the whole show. I guarantee that if he told the crowd to leave for a few moments, they would. At one point he said they needed more people in the pit, and of course everyone made their way down. He teased them by leading them to stop and go slower but in the end, they were cramped, but no doubt pumped. Billie Joe proceeded throughout the show playing songs like Brain Stew, Jaded, 2,000 Light Years Away. Also, at one point Billie asked if anyone masturbated, and the crowd went nuts (no pun intended) he then proceeded to give himself an orgasm, first making rocking movements with his hips and then putting his hand down his pants, which he smelled when he pulled it back out! Now, as soon as I heard they were going on tour, I made a sign that said I can play guitar better than you hoping that during the show, when they played Knowledge, Billie would notice my sign and pull me up there. Now, I know that a kid in the balcony has no chance, but I figured my chances doubled with the sign, seeing as how no one else as far as I could tell had a sign. Well when the time came, he asked for the drummer, the bassist, and finally, the guitarist. Of course as soon as I heard the first notes of the song I placed the sign high above my head in hopes of recognition. When he was deciding on the guitarist, I swear he looked up in our direction and pointed and said, how bout up there, anyone know how to play? And of course everyone in our section screamed and pointed at my sign, but all in all, I think my sign might have offended him, because he didn't pick me. Either way, I enjoyed every minute of it, except the part where the guitarist kid got Billie Joe's guitar and got to stage dive. But what can I say, I didn't get to show off my talent as a guitarist, bassist, or drummer, but that's OK. Next came the foundations of Green Day as a punk pop group, the Dookie songs, and although I'm not necessarily against the people who think Dookie was their first album, I enjoyed the songs as much as the 10 year olds who came with their parents to hear Basket Case or When I Come Around. They continued playing with newer hits like Waiting and Minority, again with such a huge response from the crowd, it was almost as if they were singing it themselves. Finally, with his guitar raging with what must have been a flanger or some kind of effects, he faced the wall o' speakers while Tre fell over his kit, and Mike trashed his bass, sticking it between speakers, and thrusting it through Tre's kit. Billie placed his guitar in front of the speaker and got his Les Paul Jr. And then the lighters came out. He played an emotional Good Riddance and simply walked off stage leaving the crowd wanting more." |

John: "Green Day started around 8:15pm, opening with Maria. I started bodysurfing after my friends boosted me up. It was sweet because I hadn't ever done it before. We tried to push our way up to the front but it was too tight and too much of a struggle to progress. Of course like they always do they picked 3 people to go up on stage and play. They picked a drummer and a bassist, who both played perfectly, which got the crowd into it. I'm a drummer and my friends boosted me up to try to get me picked, but we were about 15 feet back and he only picks people from the front. Finally, he picked a girl to play the guitar part. She tried it, but couldn't quite get it. He worked with her, but she struggled, so they picked a guy to play it, and he played it flawlessly. Finally after the song, Billie Joe gave his green guitar to the girl that couldn't play it and jokingly said, 'Now learn to play that fucking thing, because you suck!' The crowd got a big laugh, and like I've read about the other shows on this tour, the bassist left the stage only by jumping off the stage. He got a pretty good jump, too. They continued on with the show, with Billie sometimes bringing out his supersoaker and spraying the crowd. After, I think, Minority, Billie faced the stack of amps, while Tre and Mike started trashing the stage. Tre took his bass drum and slammed it on top of his high hat, which got a roar from the crowd. Mike swung his bass around. And then Billie ended their part of the show with the sweet ballad Good Riddance." |

Kris: "Prior to Green Day's set a bunny came onstage chugging beer. Green Day came out with Maria and all hell broke loose. They were so awesome. About three songs into it, Billie Joe told the crowd, 'We need about fifty more fuckin' people right up front here!' So everyone started running and pushing to get up there. It was cool. Then Billie Joe saw this 7-year-old kid in the audience and he was like, 'Bring me that child. Bring me that damn child right now!' And the kid got up there and helped them with Shout. He and his dad got to sit onstage for the rest of the night and watch the show from there. Then the guys brought up three people for Knowledge and let the guitar player keep the guitar and told the bass player not to be a fancy fuck. Billie wore a crown and cape for King For A Day. All in all, Green Day was the best performance I've ever seen." |

Kerry: "Ok, well first of all, once the bands started playing, there were groups of people that started pushing and running into each other. There was crowdsurfing. One girl fell on my head. It hurt so bad. but I wanted to see Blink 182 so bad, that I just put up with it. (They played last.) And I got squished against everyone else. You just can't breathe when they do that! and you try so hard to not fall to the ground. If you do, you're probably not gonna get up. The security guy said to me, 'Are you ok?' Then someone got pushed into me again, and he had to hold onto me so I wouldn't get knocked over. I have a huge bruise on me from that night. I loved the music, and seeing the band in person. But when everyone is doing that crap it just sort of ruins it for the other people. The ones that actually want to watch and enjoy the show."
Mike: "They announced that Green Day was up next and everyone screamed. A guy in a bunny suit came out with what looked like a bong in his hand. The lights dimmed and a siren blarred. An explosion started off the set as Green Day got to their instruments and started with Maria. A lot of the concert was a blur beacuse of the pure adrenilane rush I got. But it could been because of the guys smokinig pot in front of us. During Brain Stew the whole middle was in motion. During She everyone sang along at Billie's request. They trashed the drum set and TRE LIT IT ON FIRE! It was cool as hell watching it burn while the trumpet players in chicken suits played the Star Spangled Banner. Then Billie Joe came out and did Time of Your Life and everyone had their lighters out." |

Suzy: "Then we waited like half an hour, during that time a bunny came out and drank and was smoking weed. That was funny and then Green Day came on. The played Maria first and went into their older songs like Longview and Welcome To Paradise. Then they had three people to come up and play Knowledge. They let the guitar player keep the guitar which was cool. Then the play Basket Case, When I Come Around and some others. They played Shout which was cool and 2,000 Light Years Away. And then it ended and Billie Joe played Time Of Your Life."
Laura: "We arrived at the Target Center about 6 pm and I was worried that we would be late because the show started at 7pm , but we weren't. We had pit tickets and at first we were about 20 feet away from the stage and we kept moving closer. After Saves the Day was done, we had to wait 30 minutes for Green Day, but it was worth the wait. When they turned the lights off, everyone started to scream. they started to play Maria. After Maria they played Longview and Welcome to Paradise. Then Billie Joe started making everyone chant 'hey-oooh' about twenty times and the he started massaging his breast and moaning. He slowly moved his hand down in his pants. When he was done, he said that he would like to a apologize to his father-in-law. When they played Knoweldge they picked a ten-year-old to play bass. Billie Joe let the guy who got picked to play guitar keep the instrument. I saw him carrying it around later. At the end of the show the stage crew threw five boxes of foam middle fingers into the crowd. Blink were so awful that we left." |

Alex McCann: "For me Green Day lost the plot the day they picked up acoustic guitars, but still killers on the live circuit they work their way through classic album Dookie with Welcome To Paradise, Basket Case and then resuscitate Minority from its recorded whimper by way of Lulu's Shout. The anyone can do it with 3 chord punk spirit is still alive when the band take a back seat for three members of the audience out to take over the drums, bass and guitar respectively. After a few lazy fumbles and the ritual humiliation of losing the plot in front of an audience of thousands an unknown walks away with Billie Joe's guitar and the punk spirit lives on when he does the same thing 10 years down the line in his band." |

Paddy McDonnell: "Meanwhile on the Main Stage Green Day do their goofy punk thing. Only they're not punk at all, more hard bubblegum pop. Nonetheless, their greatest hits set ensures many people dance around and fall in mud. Not deep, like the mud, or clever, but at least it's fun."
Paul's Gigography: "Biggest regret was going to see Green Day which resulted in people rolling around in the muck and chucking muck into the crowd. Kenny managed to get hit on the back of the head with some of it. Looking back on it should have went to the Rising tent to see Sonic Youth, at least there would have been no muck flying around." |

Bex: "Waiting for the guys to come on was one of the most atmospheric moments ever! I think that a lot of people must have already seen Green Day live, because eveyone knew the drill! Then, from the impatient chanting, 'Green Day! Green Day!' came the unforgettable flashing and noise that the well-known sirens! And out they all ran! They looked fabulous and fit! Cheering was thunderous! And then it started! Maria was the first song. The second line was followed by the stage-side fireworks. The crowd just went mad! I think I defended my boyfriend from screaming. As Maria finished, the bang of another set of fireworks went off! The next song was a fantastic version of Longview! The crowd sings half the lyrics! Mike was the one I watched in this song. I don't know if this is just me and my obsessive personality, but you know how it is in the Longview video? Well, when they start singing the chorus. Well, Mike's hair was quite long and when he did the nod-head bit on stage, his hair reacted about five minutes later! The next song is Hitchin' A Ride Billie Joe gets the whole crowd singing, 'One, two! One, two, three, four! Are you ready?! Stop! All it's gonna take my friends, all it's gonna take is a simple one, two! One, two, three, four!! Shit!' Continues with song. As well as screaming, 'Alright, Scotland!' and 'He-e-e-e-e-yho-o-o-o-o!' Next songs are Brain Stew and Jaded, both brilliant! Basket Case was dedicated to an especially crazy girl in the front row. I nearly passed out! Basket Case followed by She - my favorite songs. And believe me, when it's live, it's a million times better than recorded. Green Day don't need studio engineerers - they should just bang down live albums! I managed to get my hands on a copy of 'Green Day - Live at T In the Park' from an ace little shopping arcade called Affleck's Palace in Manchester. It was only £7 and is my favourite album I own! The live songs just have so much energy. You can tell that the guys must love performing. And I'm not surprised, they are just so talented! King for a Day was also another great song! There was Billie Joe running around in a crown and a cape with fluffy bee's playing the trombone! This was followed by Lulu's Shout! Billie Joe's voice was just so sexy in this song! And Tre had a little scream at the beginning too! He was also on the speakers next to his drum kit acting the ever-lovable fool! I think Tre's ace! Waiting and then Minority followed with the crowd singing the ever-fulfilling 'fuck 'em all!' After Tre jumped on and recked his drum kit (why no set on fire, Tre?) Billie Joe finished with an brilliant rendition of Good Riddance on electric guitar. It really worked well! Now for the little details! There were only two backgrounds used at T In the Park festival. It started off with that Pop Disaster skull thing. The that fell down to reviel the International Superhits background. At Manchester this drops again to show Green Day wrote in that japenese lettering all lit up in red! The two lads who got up on stage to play drums and bass were brilliant. But this girl who got up to play guitar wasn't. No offence. You could see when she got up when Billie Joe asked her if she got what she had to do. She did an OK job, though. Although, Alex told me that they turned her off and this other guy behind played it instead. Mind you, I would have pretended to play guitar if it meant me getting on the stage."
"It was about half past two in the afternoon when my friends and I headed over to the main stage at the T in the park. We caught the last few songs by The Hives who were playing on the stage before Green Day. After The Hives set had finished, we ran down to the entrance to the pit of the main stage to get up real close. We were successful on that front; we managed to get right near the front. The only downfall after that was there was a whole hours wait for the trio to come on. It was well worth The wait, there was folk crowd surfing to the excitement of the band's appearance, which was good enough for most folk. After all the waiting, out of nowhere stormed onto the stage and started playing the opening track to their album "International Superhits", Maria. It was an electrifying atmosphere and everyone in the pit were jumping up and down like mad. They played all their best songs including a couple of covers like "Shout" and "Knowledge". Billie Joe entertained the scottish fans by bringing out his good old super soaker and waving the two scottish flags about. They did their usual routine of bringing up musicians from the crowd to play a song. They chose three ever so lucky teenagers (two boys and a girl) and they played a part of "Knowledge" which they played pretty well. As like any good old punk band's live performance, there was sing alongs, chants, fireworks, mosh-pitting and crowd surfing that I was apart of all of them. These guys are the best entertainers in the world and they definitely should be top of the best live acts in the "Rolling Stone" magazine and any other best live acts chart in the world. It was like Green Day made the crowd breath in from the second they came onto the stage and then as if they made you breath out from the second they obliged to leave the stage. It was a once in a lifetime feeling seeing this band live." |

Turner: "I don't know the name of the support band [The Crush] and, to tell you the truth, it was just a load of noise. Green Day, was a totally different story, they fuckin' rocked! Not only they're amazing live, the live show was great. At the end of the show they set the base alright!" |

Emma: "Whilst dashing to the toilet before the show started I slammed into a door, only to be asked seconds later by Billie Joe if I was OK! I said I was and he said, 'Be careful, I don't want you to miss our motherfucking show tonight!' He touched me on the arm and ran off. The Crush sucked. Then Green Day came on! This concert rocked, Mike trashed his bass, Tre set fire to his drums and Billie caused MAJOR feedback! It was so cool. I mean, I haven't seen them live for 2 years now and, well, they were better than last, but they could've played 86 and Warning. But it still rocked! 100/100 for Billie Joe and the guys!" |

Jonathan: "Supporting band The Crush was terrible, just one big loud noise and the members constantly talking to themselves, i.e., 'Why isn't anyone crowdsurfing?!' But, thankfully, all was not lost when the band we were all waiting to see arrived on stage to an almighty roar from the crowd. They played nearly all of their songs off International Superhits amazingly well. By the end of the concert the stage was completely smashed, drumset included, in true rock'n'roll style. The next time Green Day hit the UK, I'm booking my ticket in advance. Truly electrifying."
Lucy: "The warm-up band (The Crush) were shit. The drummer was very good, but the rest concentrated more on trying to be like Blink-182 and insulting the audience (who returned the favor). But when the Green Day bunny appeared, everyone went mad, they knew what was coming. Their opening song was Maria and it just got better from then on, they played Knowledge which amazed everyone especially me as it is one of the most played songs in my house! Good Riddance was the best song by far, with just about everyone getting out their lighters and swaying them side to side." |

Luke Seagrave: "The stage was then set for the headliners - Green Day. Love them or hate them, but they know how to put on a brilliant performance. They opened with Maria using pyrotechnic explosions to give the people right at the back a chance to have some visual stimulation. Their set list consisted of a greatest hits theme. The only exception was that they missed out Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) from their set list. But all the other hits were included: Minority, Basket Case, Knowledge, and When I Come Around to name just a few."
David Flint: "Green Day have a lot to follow after a storming set from the Iggy, and frankly, they're not up to the task. Perhaps if the band concentrated on playing an hour of pop-punk favourites (we know they can do it) rather than filling the stage with rabbit costumes things would be better. As it is, when the band do their shtick of inviting members of the crowd onstage to play a tune, what might have been a fun interlude just seems an endless slice of contrived nonsense (if this was a one-off, it'd be fine, but they do it all the time) that effectively grinds the show to a complete halt. Ah well... at least the rain stopped."
Matt Andrews: "We were talking, when we heard a roar from the crowd who were already by the main stage. I looked down there and I could see the guy in the pink rabbit suit. I shot off down there and made my way to the front, not wanting to miss anything. Suddenly over the PA, The Ramones' classic Blitzkrieg Bop began playing, and everyone was singing. Here comes the bit you've been waiting for! Sirens began wailing everywhere, like air raid sirens, and flashing lights were all over the stage. Everyone by that time knew who it was, and the cheers were deafening. Over the noise, the band ran out of the wings, and shot straight into Maria. Everyone was jumping around as though they were on pogo sticks, and it was an amazing atmosphere, even though we'd all been there for almost 12 hours in total. Green Day was easily the best band there. After the opening, Billie shouted out 'HELLO NOTTINGHAM!!' and everyone went crazy down in the pit. For almost every song, Billie stopped singing and had us all chanting things, 'HEEEEEEEYYYYYY!!' or 'Heeeeeeeeyyy-ooooo' and 'OY! OY! OY!' etc. It was amazing how he got everyone jumping about and shouting. During Maria, a ton of explosives went off, it looked amazing. This happened again in another song, only it was fire, and I felt the heat from it as they went off, it was amazing. When they first started, there was a huge cartoon skull banner as their background, but when the chorus started to one song (it may have been Longview or Welcome To Paradise, I can't remember), this dropped away to reveal their logo from the International Superhits cover. When I was watching them, I felt really weird, like in awe. This was my favourite band and they were currently playing live around 10 metres away from me. It was hard to believe at first. I could see Blue (Billie's famous guitar) which, up until now, I had seen all over the internet and magazines, and now it was onstage, metres away from me. I was loving the whole show, I sang every word to every song and I was jumping around like a kangaroo to everything, regardless of how stupid I might have looked to anyone else. When it came to Knowledge, the band did what I knew they would, and got some audience members up to play. First they got the drummer, and Tre taught him the beat. After a shaky start, he picked it up and the crowd went wild for him. Next they got a bass player, and me and some friends from school were trying to get a girl we knew to volunteer, although she didn't really want to. They ended up with a girl, and again, once she picked it up, everyone went wild. Finally, they chose the guitarist. This made me feel sad a little, I play guitar, and I would have loved to have played, but I'm not quite good enough yet to play the barre chords needed for that song, so I stood by and watched. Once more, the crowd cheered as the guitarist joined in, then Billie sang and they all played their hearts out. After they finished, Billie asked the boy who played guitar his name, and then announced 'Everyone, James (or whatever his name was) has just won a guitar!' and gave him the one he had played. Lucky boy. When King for a Day was played, Billie did his usual, dressed up as a king in a crown and robe, and ran about the stage while two trumpet players dressed like The Three Amigos played. There was also a bee and a rabbit (i think..) dressed up playing horns too later on. Sometime during the set (I forget when), the International Superhits logo fell away to show their Japanese style logo made up in lights. They played Minority at a faster speed, and everyone was moshing all over the place to it, and singing the chorus like a football chant. Waiting was great too, and Tre got onto an amp stack and danced about on it for a bit, which was cool. For most of the songs, the band needn't have sang. The audience sang almost every word, and it showed in the bands performance how cool it must feel to have an audience sing the words back at you. Billie shouted at one point, 'Are there any old skool Green Day fans in the house?', and I cheered madly. Although I'm too young to be 'old-skool', I love all the old material, as much as, if not more than, their newer stuff. Where I live, owning Nimrod is pretty underground, so in that context I guess I am old skool! After this, they played 2000 Light Years Away, and I noticed that not as many people sang this one. They also did a cover of that Shout song, ("You know you make me wanna SHOUT! Put my hands up and SHOUT! Etc..) Which was great and funny too. In the middle of another song, Billie got a water gun and soaked the crowd, which was cool, while Jason played guitar. Another cool song they played was Platypus, which isn't one they do a lot. It was great, they played it furiously and everyone was moshing. Next to me, one of those gaps in the crowd opened up and all these people were jumping into one another and going insane! I was on the edge, trying not to get pulled in. Towards the end, all of the lights went off and only their 'Japanese' style logo, illuminated with lights, was left lit up. The band went offstage without a word. Quickly, everyone began to chant 'GREEN DAY! GREEN DAY!' or 'WE WANT MORE! WE WANT MORE!'. They then ran back on again, and played a couple more songs. Strangely, they didn't play anything slow, like Macy's Day Parade, or Good Riddance, but I didn't care, just seeing them was enough. At one point, I swear Mike saw me, during one song I was the only person in my little area jumping about and with my hands in the air, and he looked into the crowd in my direction and made a stupid face. Oh, and whoever said he is growing a mullet, damn right. At the end, about 8 strobe lights came on while Billie strummed the last chord of the song for ages, and then the siren noise came on again, but really warped. I didn't see how (I had to stand on tiptoe to see the stage as it was, and the strobe lights made it harder) and Mike's bass was on fire. He started slamming it onto the stage, and eventually stopped when he was left holding the neck on its own. Tre then dived over his kit, and picked up the bass drum and smashed it up more, then repeated this with the floor tom. After Tre threw his drumsticks away, they all then ran offstage, and after a few minutes, the logo went out. People hung around still, shouting for them to come back, but they didn't, and then the between-acts music came on, and some roadies appeared onstage and started packing away." |

Setlist is incomplete/out of order. A Weezer song was also played or teased.
Eric Sechrist: "The concert was absolutely amazing. Green Day hit the stage and wasted no time going into American Idiot. Those clips* don't do the song justice. My brother and I were about 20 ft from Billie Joe. Immediately after American Idiot they went into Jesus of Suburbia which is unlike anything I have ever heard. The wait is definitely worth it. That was about all from American Idiot and Billie Joe went on to take requests for all kinds of songs from 2,000 Light Years Away to cover songs from The Who, Weezer, Ozzy, Operation Ivy and many more. Also included in their set was I Fought The Law, Welcome to Paradise, King For A Day, Hitchin' A Ride, Brain Stew/Jaded, Basket Case, Longview, Minority, When I Come Around, She, and they ended with We Are The Champions. Green Day rocked the house, it was unbelievable how awesome they were live. After the show we met Tré, Mike and Billie and they were all super cool. It was an awesome show. Update: I totally forgot to mention one huge thing that dawned on me the next morning they played Supermodel Robots which was really cool but Billie Joe proclaimed it as "a cover song" because The Network had been knocking their stuff for too long so they play it. Anyways I hope that will help."
Scott Gurian: "For my 14th Green Day concert, one word. Unbelievable. Green Day took the stage at 9pm and blasted into American Idiot. Next came Jesus of Suburbia. Armstrong then told the sold out crowd: "We're gonna play for like 4 hours". Some new material, old and a bunch of cover songs. Hitchin' a Ride was next, followed by Welcome to Paradise. Then as Tré was about to play the intro to Longview, they stopped and took a request. 2,000 Light Years Away. Half way through that, they played part of Only Of You but Mike had to switch his bass. Then some cover songs. Ozzy, Cheap Trick, Weezer, The Who, Billy Idol and more. Highlight of the night, as usual, during Knowledge, they bring up 3 people to play their instruments. Great!! I thought it was awesome as Green Day played 2 Network songs, Reto and Transistors Gone Wild*. Some other Green Day songs on the set were Dominated Love Slave, Longview, Basket Case, She, When I Come Around, King For A Day, Minority, Brain Stew/Jaded. They ended with We Are The Champions by Queen. Amazing show. It ended around 11pm. Update: I actually do think it was Supermodel Robots. I'm almost positive Reto was played too. Also, I forgot to add I Fought The Law for the set list."
Deborah Opiniano: "The Green Day concert was, in my opinion, bittersweet... My reasons are 3 fold: 1. It was easily the best concert that I have ever attended in my life. The talents of Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt, and Tré Cool is unparallel. Billie Joe was mesmerizing on stage. For a few seconds he stood on top of the center speaker, arms outstreched, and his head hung down, mimicking Jesus Christ on the cross... Either he was doing that or he just appeared to be a "being" that somehow is just above the rest of us. 2. The show has gotten me so stoked for their new album and their upcoming fall tour. There sure as heck better not be a online presale for their concert tickets. I will fork over an unreasonable sum to a scalper if need be, but if there were any justice in this world, we would all be standing in line for tickets and not sitting in front of our computers at home, screaming at the Ticketmaster website. And the reason why it is bittersweet... 3. I feel like my concert days have reached its peak. Having witnessed the magic that went on inside the Olympic Grand Auditorium on Thursday, July 29th... What's the point of ever going to see another show again? None will ever even come close. Even if it is Green Day, there will be a million kids there. The special "dress rehersal" concert was savored by myself and just 1,999 other true Green Day fans inside of a small venue. Future shows could possibly be as good but none, unless the trio comes to my livingroom to play, will be better. I will continue to support the bands that I like and attend shows, but I will never again, unless the trio comes to my livingroom to play, get choked up when the headlining band takes the stage. Green Day played an amazing show. The cover songs didn't sound like covers. I'm sure that everyone, including the original artists, would agree that they sounded like the real thing. Best show ever. Best band ever. Buy the album. Buy tickets for their tour this fall. Join their Street Team. We are all disciples of Green Day, go forth and spread the word of Billie Joe. Spread the word about AMERICAN IDIOT... now!"
Gerry Maravilla: "Wow. Yup, that's pretty much what I felt about Green Day's show last night, just wow. I get there and they have the stage all set up with new logos and fonts from the new album which is very cool for a long time fan like myself. A little after 9, Green Day hits the stage with their new single "American Idiot". After that Billie Joe thanks the audience for coming on such sort notice and informs the crowd that they will be playing new songs, covers, and of course, old classics. With that Billie goes right into the 9 minute rock opera called "Jesus of Suburbia" from their new album. He goes into Hitchin' a Ride from that and then Welcome to Paradise. I won't tell you every song they played in order, but they played ALL their hits from Dookie. They did a lot of neat covers too. Billie Joe is a great showman and he just keeps getting better. He had the crowd eating of the palm of his hand. Possibly my favorite moment is when a member of the audience brought up The Network. The Network was a band that did a strange combo of new wave and punk and concealed their identities. Rumors surfaced that it was Green Day, and it was pretty obvious that it was. Green Day denies it thought and often says things like "Fuck The Network, rumor starting bastards". It doesn't help that the band's album was released by Billie Joe's record company. Anyway, the audience member brings up The Network, and he says "Fuck those guys, we can play their songs better than they can!" From that they start playing Supermodel Robots, which is my favorite Network song and one of my favorite songs of all time, and I think I was the only audience member singing along. It was great. The night ended with their cover of Queen's "We Are The Champions" for which Billie dauned a fake moustache. Great ending to a great night. Green Day songs played:
New- American Idiot, Jesus of Suburbia
Old- Hitchin' a Ride, Welcome to Paradise, 2,000 Light Years Away, Longview, She, Basket Case, Brain Stew, Jaded, Dominated Love Slave, Minority, When I Come Around, Knowledge, I Fought The Law, King For A Day.
Covers: Cheap Trick- Surrender, The Who- The Kids Are Alright, Some Ozzy Song, You Know You Make Me Wanna Shout, The Clash- Rock the Casbah, Some Misfits Song, Danny Boy- Elvis, Our Lips Are Sealed- GoGo's (WITH JANE!), The Network- Supermodel Robots, and Queen- We Are The Champions."
Mike Callin: "My brother called me and let me know that he heard Green Day was doing a last minute warm up show in preparation for their upcoming tour overseas. Well, I didn't believe it. I mean, why would the Godzilla Band from Berkeley do a warm up show in LA? Then I thought to myself, if this is true it's going to cost a few bucks that I couldn't afford. Well, I was wrong on both counts. Green Day WAS playing the next day in downtown LA and the tickets were only $10!!!!! So needless to say, I was there. The show seemed about half full and everywhere in the venue was a good seat. It was great. No opening bands, just Billie Joe and the gang for a solid 2 hours or so. And... The place sold booze!!!!! The guys started their set about half an hour later than they were supposed to but it didn't matter. Everyone was chill. There was a very relaxed atmosphere to the show. Nobody beating each other up trying to be tough guy in the pit or anything. Believe it or not, security wasn't trippin' either. It just felt like a back yard party and we were waiting for our friends ALT ROCK band to play or something. As soon as the guys came out, the mood changed. You could feel the excitement. The played some of the new stuff with a pretty good response from the crowd. Billie seemed a little bit drunk but still shot through the songs like a pro. Tré flung sticks through the air between fills and Mike bounced around the stage like a pogo stick. The guys were making the set list up as they went along. Afterall, this was just a dress rehearsal. Then they started taking requests. The guys played quite a few covers of songs screamed to them by the kids in the front. They covered Hendrix, Ozzy, Weezer, among others but the cover highlight was their kick ass version of Queen's We Are The Champions where Billie had stagehands bring him his fake moustache in order to look like the late Queen singer. The night ended with the band doing the traditional encore and finishing off their set. Fans stayed loyally until security shoo'd them away. All in all, the night was amazing. And not just because I'm a big Green Day fan. It would have been cool for anyone seeing their favorite band playing a small show with no other bands and just totally engaging the crowd. Plus, it only cost a Punk Rock $10!!!!!! The last time NOFX were in town, it was like $40 or so. That's not very punk rock. :)"
Josue Maury: "Ireceived a call from Kimberly and she personally invited me to the show. It was FREE for me (All Ages Fan Club Member) and one guest. What was best is that I was right up in the front with my younger brother the whole time!! Billie Joe emptied some beer on me and told me "I hate you too!" in response to my Platypus (I Hate You) request. This show was very cool. It was one of those chill, "we're gonna play new, old and covers you want" show. The new songs are awesome, especially Jesus of Suburbia, it didn't feel like 9 minutes though. Only two new songs were played, Jesus of Suburbia and American Idiot, pretty good as well! Jesus of Suburbia is really amazing. There are many backup vocals that make the song beautiful and epic. The backup vocalists are: Jason White, Mike Dirnt, Captain Underpants and Z. Billie said their real names, but I can't remember them (D'oh!!). A part of Jesus of Suburbia turns into a fast punk beat and it made me very happy to hear that section. Billie Joe's singing is like nothing you've heard before; it's more soulful at points. The drum beats vary from midtempo to fast and the fills definitely make the song more interesting. There isn't a word to describe how much I loved this song. It just sounded so beautiful, that it almost brought a tear to my eye. Moving on to the covers they played, guess what they played?! The Network songs, of course! At the beginning of the requests section, I asked Billie to play "Joe Robot," and he responded "I don't know that shit! Fuck The Network, they've taken a lot from us." So Green Day didn't play Joe Robot, but when someone requested Misfits, Billie said, "Ok, fine, we'll play some Misfits, but we'll do it Network style." And what do my ears hear, the space ship sound of the intro of 'Teenagers From Mars' exactly as it appears on the Network's CD "Money Money 2020." Tré put on his headphones and Mike busted some nice distortion on his bass. It was excatly Network, note by note, sound effect to sound effect. The human version of Captain Underpants was playing the synths in the back, I saw him! And Z was in front of his piano playing with one finger (for this song). It was unbelieveable! Later in the night, Billie said, "Fuck the Network, I can play Network songs better than they can!" And he did sans costume, Supermodel Robots. The only thing missing from this was the sirens, but it still sounded like the CD. 2 Clash songs were played back to back. I Fought The Law and Rock The Casbah. Jason White stood up for Billie Joe on vocals for a really awesome rendition of Rock The Casbah. Jason White sounded so much like Joe Strummer that I'm glad he got the chance to sing it. Other covers included Buzzcocks, Purple Haze, Crazy Train, Cheap Trick, Billy Idol. Mr. Tré Cool jumped off his drum kit to play guitar and sing "Like a Rat does Cheese" and "Dominated Love Slave." Billie Joe took over drums and an explotion of beer bursted out of his mouth as the drums kicked in for "Dominated Love Slave." Finally Green Day ended they're fun-filled set with Queen's "We Are The Champions." For this special song, Billie required a little assistance from his guitar tech, "Where's my moustache? I need a fucken moustache!" The guitar tech pasted a piece of black tape on Billie's upper lip, hahaha. A surprising thing about the show was that they did not play Good Riddance, after covering Queen's song, they said thanks and walked off. We waited for more, but it never came and we got kicked out by the security staff! It was fun, very fun! We even picked up two American Idiot guitar picks from the floor. I spoke to John Roecker (Doctor Svengali) before the show and he said that Live Freaky! Die Freaky! will be out this Fall, and The Network film that will come with an extra enhanced Network CD will be out in October. John said Live Freaky! is some sick sick shit, and that The Network film will be sick as well!! There were video cameras at last night's show, so maybe, hopefully there will be some sort of thing to come out of that footage. Peace to all and keep on rockin'!!" |

Setlist is incomplete/out of order
NME: "The best bands I've ever seen live have all earned their place in the canon for different reasons. There was Green Day at the Ambassador Theatre, Dublin 2004. I'd been in France for a summer, and my friends had queued up to buy tickets while I was away. They rang me excitedly on my French host family's phone, explaining quickly that there hadn't been time to inform me, but that they'd bought me a ticket anyway. The gig was magic. Messy, loud, sweaty and rough - when smoking was still allowed in venues. We left covered in grime and with bruises on our ribs, and sat waiting for the night bus, feeling like the band had just played for us."
Hot Press: "That's right skater kids, if you're looking for a louder, punkier, more testosterone-fuelled alternative to Avril Lavigne Live in Belfast, Green Day play Dublin's Ambassador Theatre on August 24. Having heard nothing from the trio since they released their Warning album in 2000, fans are promised a preview of new songs as well as a run through their large back catalogue of hits, including When I Come Around, Basket Case, Brain Stew, Minority, Warning, and their tear-jerking moment, Good Riddance (Time of Your Life). Their upcoming album, titled American Idiot, is set for an Autumn release. Until then you can secure tickets for the Dublin gig - priced at € 33.50 - when they go sale this Friday, June 11 from the usual outlets nationwaide."
Independent: "All I want to do after work is lie in bed, watch Revenge and eat potato waffles (don't judge me). At 3pm that afternoon, I get a phone call from a PR. 'Green Day are playing a secret show tonight,' he explains. 'Do you want to go?' At first, I'm not sure. It's the other side of town, and I am crammed up until 7pm that night, which would mean a mad dash to get inside the venue in time for curtain up. At the same time, the group was the sound of my teenage years. Once I'd ditched Boyzone and Eternal, and ploughed through the Foo Fighters' back catalogue, Green Day were the sound of every house party of the summer of 2003-2004. Every time I'm asked to write a piece about the best gig I've ever been to, I mention seeing Green Day at the Ambassador Theatre (RIP) in August 2004. I'd been in France for the summer, in rural Brittany learning French with a (really lovely) host family. Though it was wonderful, I missed my friends something rotten. The internet was so slow it was dial-up, and a text message cost almost more than a phone call. On MSN messenger (old school!) one afternoon, my friend Jenny cropped up, saying that tickets for Green Day had gone on sale that morning. My heart fell. I'd missed the boat. Then she added: 'We thought you'd want one too, so got an extra ticket.' Excelsior! It was sublime. Perfect, an end-of-Disney-film-style best-friends-forever-kind of evening. If a Disney film had a mosh pit. The echoes of that night rang in my head as I consider taking the tickets for the show. Why not, I decide. For old time's sake. I finish up work and race across town to make it to the venue on time. Standing at the back, my view is limited, but I can make out the trio (plus backing singers). The atmosphere in the room is incredible. The new material is boisterous, and a sea of challengers begin to crowdsurf. And then Basket Case comes on. It's an old track, a snot-punk blast with a chorus of 'I think I'm cracking up.' And I crack up. Oh my God, I begin to actually cry. What is going on? This punk-rock Proustian moment takes me entirely by surprise. It's not even at one of the sad songs, like Time of My Life! Man up, Malone. But I can't help it, all the feelings of that night at the Ambassador come flooding back, and I am an embarrassing combination of happy, sad and happy again. I turn around to see my companion looking at my worriedly. 'Are you OK?' he asks? 'I'm grand,' I reply. 'I just got an elbow to the face.' 'Oh, alright,' he responds, and trots to the bar to get me some ice. I don't want to explain how I'm feeling. I want to hold on to it for a little longer." |

Gaesteliste.de: "the pompous "So Spoke Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss announced the main course: Green Day. There they stood, the three gentlemen and made directly on very thick pants. But why not, and it was clear from the beginning that Billie Joe Armstrong had the raging 700 people under his nose. It started right off with "American Idiot" including "I do it - you do it" jokes, the new tracks "Jesus Of Suburbia", "Holiday", "Are We The Waiting" and "St. Jimmy" made for Another mood, drummer Tre pulled his face as usual and raged behind his kit, bassist Mike Dirnt skillfully kept cool in the strings. Incidentally, the three are supported at times by additional musicians on guitar, percussion, keyboard and 2-man brass section. "Longview", "Basket Case", the Operation Ivy cover "Knowledge", "King For A Day" (including "Shout") led to The Clash's cover "I Fought The Law" before copying with "Minority "went to the grand finale with the Queens cover" We Are The Champions ". As I said: thick pants. (Meanwhile, Billy Joe took someone from the audience onto the stage, so that this fan took over the guitar part for half a song ("you only need three chords!"), Solved this task well and was passed with a befitting Stagedive. After an alleged power outage, Billy Joe came back on stage armed with an acoustic guitar to tune in "When I Come Around," but after a short while, the entire band got back on stage and rocked the song to the end. In addition, "Johnny B. Goode" was covered, a guitar was given away and parts of the drum kit were destroyed. The boys just know what is theirs."
Addicted: "So the concert was as expected the absolute top hammer! Donnas ... um, very nice, but not my case. Then came Green Day with intro and everything, so properly staged the whole thing. Have just played a few songs from the new album (American Idiot, Jesus of Suburbia, Holiday, Are we waiting the, St. Jimmy) In between, Billie Joe has called on the fans always to call "EO"
What I found very nice was that he said, "They say we could only play 45 minutes, but we say 'Fuck you.
Then they played a great 'classic': Longview. And then Knowledge (cover from Operation Ivy). The song they play as far as I know at every concert, also every time (as well as in Bochum) get one from the audience who plays on Billie Joe's guitar (the good piece is Blue). In the background trumpet and sax. Then a nice stage diving from the stage and on we went with basket case. To be honest, I've been to a couple of gigs, but I have never experienced such extreme pacing before. Hell. I looked at my buddies after the concert. Her t-shirts were completely torn * lol *
After basket case she played fast and then we continued with King for a day. Is one of my favorite songs and they have also brought over really cool: When trumpet and sax were always quieter, everyone crouched down. When it was louder again Billie Joe came up with a king coat and fooled around (for example, he threw his coat so that he looked like a grandma ). He then made the crowd happy, with a little water that he distributed across the room. In the middle of the song, the boys then housed "Animal House's Shout" (that's the song from the Veltins commercial, I think).
After that they played I fought the law (a clash cover), Minority (again with thousands of "EO's"), We are the champions (Queen-Cover). They left the stage completely rash. All fans of course "encore" and "Green Day, Green Day" or "We want more" At some point, they came back then, but have said that they have no electricity. Billie Joe has set the front of the stage with the acoustics, asked for silence and played when I come around. He was not heard at all, because all fans sang the song (was a very cool moment ). In the middle of the stream went back to (haha) and they started again fully. Brain stew (with "Here we go ..."), Jaded, Johnny B. Goode (Chuck Berry Cover) and finally they have played my absolute favorite song: Who wrote Holden Caulfield? About two hours later, they still signed autographs. Overall, the concert was amazing (even fans who saw the Dookie Tour say)! I'll never ever forget the day again ... The only thing that was stupid was that there was absolutely no merchandising. Well, it was worth it anyway."
"I went to Bochum with my friend. We came there 2 hours before we could get in the club. It was a little one and we could hear Green Day rehearse from outside the club! We stand in the second line. The Donnas played first and after 45 minutes Green Day came out and Billie Joe told us that they'll play for 45 minutes only! In the end it last more than 45 minutes. Don't know what else to tell you, they just did all the things they do every time. Besides the show will be on TV!" |

"Anyway, it started off beautifully with American Idiot and continued through Jesus of Suburbia and the rest of American Idiot until St. Jimmy and also minus Blvd. of Broken Dreams and then they started going into their old stuff. It was sort of sad when fans sat down after St. Jimmy was played but I did not sit down once. They lost some people during King For A Day and Hitchin' A Ride but most of the fans stayed true. Billie Joe Armstrong was the king and when he told people to go the wave, every single person in the stadium did the wave. When he screamed for everyone to stop no one moved or said a word. And when he said, 'Heeey-oh!' the rest of us screamed it after him every single time for however long he told us. My friend described the scene as cult-like, especially with all the flags. We did not care, we were part of that cult and proud of it! The show was truly the time of my life as the song says and I swear if Green day ever comes near my area I will see them in concert again. The show is definately one worth seeing and Green Day will keep you interested and wanting more even till after the very end. The sounds Billie Joe made as he proceeded to have an orgasm in the middle of the song as he 'tucked his shirt in,' and the cape and the crown he wore. When Billie Joe said, 'This song isn't anti-American, it's anti-war,' about Holiday, the entire stadium jumped up for that comment. The entire show was a exceptional there are no words to describe the intensity which they played from beginning to end. Billie Joe can really sing. Tre and Mike were just brilliant." |

Lillian Altman: "Green Day made a return to Australia at the tail end of their ‘21st Century Breakdown’ tour after not having toured here since December 2005. Their Australian tour consisted of eight shows, before they headed off to New Zealand.
I had to settle for their second (unplanned) Melbourne concert as the first concert sold out in less than ten minutes. This second performance was intended to be an epic three-hour show; unfortunately, not everything went as planned and the concert was postponed due to front man Billie Joe Armstrong being sick, in what was suspected to have been food poisoning.
He admitted to this at the concert with the words: “A certain someone had the runs!”
Luckily, ticket-holders only had to wait an extra day.
The supporting act for the night was Melbourne band, Jet. Jet consists of brothers Nic (guitars and vocals) and Chris (Drums, backing vocals) Cester, Cam Muncey (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Mark Wilson (Bass, keyboard).
Jet played a 45–minute set consisting of animal antics and lots of toilet paper! They played an energetic set, although there wasn’t much interaction with the audience.
Unfortunately, they only performed 2-3 songs from their most recent release, Shaka Rock, including its debut single, ‘She’s a Genius’.
The highlight of their performance was when they played ‘Are You Gonna Be My Girl’, in which they were joined on stage by male strippers wearing nothing but underwear (I’ll leave the rest to your imagination…) and people dressed up in animal costumes, including a kangaroo, a pig and a pink bunny. Rumour has it that the gatecrashing animals were the members of Green Day, pumping themselves up for their performance.
At one stage the bunny pulled out some sort of contraption and was shooting toilet paper onto the band members and into the crowd. Nic continued singing with toilet paper wrapped around his neck much like a scarf.
Halfway through their performance confetti fell onto the crowd marked with the words ‘Green Day’ and pictures of 21st Century Breakdown (their latest album) skulls. There was so much confetti falling down you couldn’t see the band.
The transition, in the midst of a confetti cascade, of the stage from Jet’s setup to Green Day’s was amazing. Jet had a simple setup: a raised drum kit in the centre of the stage and black banner hanging from the roof with the word ‘JET’ printed on it in gold. As they finished their set, with ‘Cold Hard Bitch’, roadies came onto the stage and disbanded their equipment and props.
At this point, Green Day’s equipment rose up from underneath the stage as the backdrop descended from the roof to reveal a large flat screen.
Many fans had skipped out on seeing Jet, arriving just in time to see Green Day playing, making it a full house. The mosh pit got tighter as fans moved forward to get as close as they could to the front.
The members of Green Day: Billie Joe Armstrong (lead vocals, guitar), Tre Cool (drums, percussion, backing vocals), Mike Dirnt (bass, backing vocals) and regular touring members Jason White and Jason Freese entered the stage.
Billie Joe, wearing his signature attire of black jeans, black shirt and red tie headed straight to the front of the stage. He started the night by draping himself in an Aussie flag and then launched into a song. The energetic performance, lasting 2.5 hours, consisted of music from most of the albums and EPs of their twenty-year + career.
The backdrops were mesmerising, including Melbourne’s cityscape, artwork from their 21st Century Breakdown album, the words ‘Green Day’ flashing in various colours and an American flag. And, of course, various images of the band (live and archive) and live shots of the crowd intermittently adorned the big screen.
Even better was the band’s interaction with the crowd. At various points throughout the performance, Billie Joe invited members of the audience to come up onstage and let some of them sing along with him. He also encouraged some of them to jump off the stage and crowd surf their way back into the mosh pit. One fan handed him some plastic devil ears, which he put on straight away. Another handed him a shirt that said ‘I Love Melbourne’; he held it up in the air parading it to the rest of the audience.
The security guards interaction with the crowd was pleasing too. On the day of the concert, the weather was a whooping 39°C and it didn’t help that there was flames being shot out of the stage. This, combined with the sheer length of the concert, could have made for an excruciating evening but the security guards armed themselves with bottles of water and made sure people in the front area of the mosh were kept hydrated.
Green Day themselves helped to keep the temperature bearable, cooling down the crowd with water guns and water pistols throughout the night.
Throughout the performance, picks and drumsticks were thrown out to the crowd as souvenirs. Fortunately, the people in the seats did not miss as Billie Joe shot four T-shirts out to them via an air gun.
After a quick intermission about half way throughout their performance, Green Day returned to the stage dressed up in costumes: Billie Joe, wearing a blue police hat and red feather boa; Mike wearing white thick framed glasses, black with silver glitter cat ears; and Tre wearing a ladies hat and a red bra over his shirt.
The costume change must have unleashed some untapped creative energies, because the performance that followed of the song ‘King For A Day’ was the highlight of the night. Billie Joe announced: “I have a sneaking suspicion something very bizarre is about to happen” then launched into ‘King for a Day’ as members of Jet and their posse of male strippers joined them onstage.
After the strippers left the stage, Green Day launched into their usual rendition of ‘Shout’ with the added bonus of the ‘Stand By Me’ and The Rolling Stones ‘Satisfaction’ chorus.
Billie Joe brought out the harmonica towards the end of the concert, and played an acoustic rendition of ‘Good Riddance (Time of your Life)’, the only way the song should ever be played or heard!
Once again the toilet paper contraption and confetti were brought out during Green Day’s performance. There was so much confetti and toilet paper on the floor that by the time everyone had left the mosh pit at the end of the night, you could hardly see the floor.
In comparison to their last tour here, the performance, although similar in style, was much upped a notch. Although Billie Joe encouraged the crowd with the exact phrases he used last time, however, much more interaction with the audience was incorporated into the show. For example, in the previous tour, only three audience members were allowed on stage to play the bands instruments.
I have to say it was the best concert I’ve ever been to. You’re thinking ‘she probably says that after every concert she goes to,’ but it truly was the only concert I’ve been to where as soon as I left I felt as though I had withdrawal symptoms, wishing to be in that mosh pit watching one of my favourite bands yet again…." |

therockmom: "I think it was the two-minute sax solo.
Or maybe the sight of Billie Joe dry-humping the stage and singing, ‘Love Me Tender’.
Either way, Green Day’s latest live show made me realize that they are punks no more. They’re bona fide, big-ticket stadium entertainers.
And it sucks!
So come on, let meeeeee entertain you!
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not going to launch in to some elitist screed about, “I saw them when they were nobodies, yadda, yadda.” I don’t mind a good stadium show. Last year’s Coldplay concert, for example, was a brilliant evening with a populist band at the height of its commercial powers.
But let me just count the ways that last Saturday’s concert – Green Day’s first time in Hong Kong (!!) – was a frustrating, annoying vaudeville mess:
1. There was the sax solo, as mentioned.
2. There was BJ’s continuous ‘Come On!’
3. The Spinal Tap-worthy pyrotechnics. What, no midgets?
4. An AC/DC interlude – yawn. Billy Joel covers AC/DC now.
5. Then the Elvis tribute.
6. Followed by a Beatles cover (‘Hey Jude’) with a Deep Purple riff thrown in.
With each cover, however, BJ and Co. would start the song and then not finish it! If you want to do a cover then do a complete cover, putting your own stamp on it. Not some lame ‘Hooked-on-Classics’ style medley. And btw, you know that great part in ‘Hey Jude’ when McCartney sings, ‘Jude, Jude, Jude-y, Jude-y, Jude-y, Jude-y’? He sings that once, not on every chorus – that’s why it’s so powerful.
The most annoying part of the show – it felt like the whole show actually – was Billie Joe’s constant (I’m not kidding you when I say constant) need for an audience call and response:
BJ: I say Aay-Ooh!
US: Aay-Ooh!
BJ: I say Aaaay-Ooooh!
US: Aaaay-Ooooh!
BJ: I say AAaaaAAaaaAAaaaAA-Oooooooooh!
(audience loses plot at this point.)
Where is Harry Belafonte when you need him? Green Day come and me want to go home.
THE SEX PISTOLS NEVER DID A SAX SOLO!
Was it the unsophisticated audience? Did Green Day think Hong Kong – in our imaginary Mao caps – would lap up this crap? Or do they do this at every show? I can’t imagine a SoCal crowd putting up with this call-and-response patter BETWEEN EVERY SONG.
In fact I did see Green Day in Orange County once. The band blazed through song after song, and the audience did their best to foil security and rush the stage. Green Day was playing big venues then too (Anaheim Pond), but they kept it lean and mean.
And what about making the audience do the singing? Sing a line, then make us sing, sing another line, make us sing the chorus. Do you realize this is what Robbie Williams does?
I read that BJ mooned the audience in Singapore. Uh, Robbie Williams does that too.
Billie Joe even pulled up an audience member to sing the entire ‘Longview’ by herself. I paid HK$550 (US$70 and they weren’t even great seats!) per ticket; I didn’t pay to hear Gabriella so-and-so sing the damn song!
Green Day has always had populist DNA. From “Dookie” onwards they’ve produced reliable, catchy pop songs, the punk being just window dressing, like Billie Joe’s ubiquitous eyeliner. But with “American Idiot” (released in 2004), they captured a political, more mature voice, and joined the ranks of ‘important’ bands.
“Idiot” rocked hard. Unfortunately, they’ve tried to replicate that power on “21st Century Breakdown”, and it just falls flat. It’s a paint-by-numbers dud: a bad (meaning bad) rock opera screaming, “Phoned it in with a rhyming dictionary!!!”
Maybe that’s why the concert felt so underwhelming. It was a facsimile of a real show. It was Green Day saying, “We’re in China, boys. Let’s throw out a few ‘thank you’s’ in Cantonese and screw around with these neophyte rockers. They’ll love it!”
True enough, we Hong Kong’ers don’t know how to stage dive. We point our phone cameras at any thing that moves – even when it’s 100 feet away in low lighting.
(Those of you who screamed and took pictures of that pink bunny?)
L.O.S.E.R.S.
But even we don’t deserve your schtick.
Just play the f’ing songs!" |

NME: "Green Day have defended their headline slot at Madrid’s Mad Cool festival following the death of an acrobat.
Pedro Aunión Monroy was attempting a between-sets stunt before the punk trio played, which involved an illuminated box suspended by a crane. He fell 100 feet and died from injuries suffered in the accident soon after.
Following criticism for going ahead with their performance, Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has written a statement, published on the band’s website. “Many of you are wondering why we continued to play our show after the accident,” he wrote. “Green Day did not hear about the accident until after our show was over. We didn’t even know there was an acrobat performance at all.
As Rolling Stone reports, the group’s set only suffered a slight delay after the accident, causing festival-goers to accuse both the band and Mad Cool organisers of insensitivity. Festival bosses said the event continued as planned for “security reasons”.
Green Day had tweeted after their performance on Friday night (July 7) that they didn’t learn of Monroy’s death until after they had played. Armstrong explained how that was in his statement. “These festivals are huge,” he wrote. “There are so many things happening at the same time it’s impossible to keep up with every performer/artist. We were in a back stage compound about a half-mile away from the main festival stage.”
He continued: “We were warming up ready to go at 11:25 pm. 15 minutes prior our tour management was told by local authorities to wait to go on stage because there was some sort of security issue. Security issues are a normal occurrence and procedure at any show. We were NOT told why which is also normal.”
He added that, despite the crowd having witnessed Monroy’s fall, from the stage he and his bandmates didn’t sense any issues. “Everything seemed normal,” he explained. “The crowd and fans had a good time.”
Armstrong also explained that the band didn’t learn of Monroy’s death until they had returned to the backstage compound. “All of us were in disbelief,” he wrote. “I don’t know why the authorities chose not to tell us about the accident before our concert. All we know is what was said after our concert. This has never happened in the 30 years Green Day have been performing live.
“If we had known prior to our performance we most likely would not have played at all. We are not heartless people.”
Armstrong finished the statement by sending the band’s best wishes to Monroy’s family and friends. “What happened to Pedro is unthinkable,” he wrote. “Once again we are heartbroken for his friends and family. We are also shocked and heartbroken for anyone that had to witness this tragedy.”" |

Green Day (Instagram): The luck of the Irish was on our side in Dublin
Billie Joe (Instagram): I remember the first time playing in Dublin. We played upstairs from a pub. No one was aloud to dance in fear the room would collapse onto the pub. 1991! Who was there? Last night was a stunner!! Eternally grateful to all our Irish family!!
Jason White (Instagram): Always a memorable time in Dublin. Beautiful place, friendly people. Thanks again! Slainte! |

Green Day (Instagram): Living the dream in LONDON!!! What an unbelievable sold out night, so thankful to have spent it with over 75,000 of you, our biggest show here *ever*... UNREAL, thank you
Billie Joe (Instagram): Still buzzing from Wembley. What the hell just happened?? I can’t put into words how much love I have for England.
Jason White (Instagram): Still feeling overwhelmed from the last show of our European tour in London. Too much to process. Thank you. So many great moments, one of my favorite being when I asked Jakob Armstrong to play on “She” and he went out and killed it! I got such a huge rush of emotion! Then at the end of our long set my back went out on the last note of the last song. Timing. The show of a lifetime. Wembley Stadium. |

Jason Freese made his return to the band after having to take time off to recover from cancer treatments.
Green Day had to cut their set short when a storm quickly rolled in. As a result, 'Bobby Sox' was not played and 'Good Riddance' was rushed through with no instruments to close the set.
Green Day (Instagram): St. Louis, you were beautiful. But you know what’s even more beautiful? @therealjasonfreese is back!!
Billie Joe (Instagram): Welcome home Jason!
Jason White (Instagram): A hot one in St. Louis last night. We welcomed Mr. Jason Freese back home to the stage!

Green Day (Instagram): Now THAT’S what we’re talking about!!! @coachella round 2, you were beautiful. Couldn’t have done it without our friend @flavorflavofficial stepping in as the Drunk Bunny for the night
Billie Joe (Instagram): Had an absolutely amazing time, Coachella, just what an experience. It was so great and crowds went crazy, some of the best shows we’ve ever played in California. Also got to play with The Go-Go’s which was a dream and another dream was I got to see The Misfits. Glen Danzig your vocals are just spot on, just one of my favorite bands ever
Tre Cool (Instagram): Coachella 2025 is in the books as unforgettable and I have to say I am over the moon to have been there and done that. What a great night! Thanks to all y’all that came out and raised hell with us in the desert these last two weekends!!
Jason White (Instagram): What an epic night in Coachella Valley! All time! Thanks to the one and only Flavor Flav! Thanks to everyone!
Kevin Preston (Instagram): Coachella, round 2! Whether you were actually there or watching from your COUCHella, thank you! |
