It aired all over the world a few months ago. Not exactly rare. It’s still on YouTube. I can only imagine how much real unreleased concert footage they are sitting on while trying to convince us this is something special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miko Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Full shows of Trilogy secret shows are considered rare, last November MTV show is not rare in any way. Full concert footage exist and pro footage is mostly released, but I guess this is just good reminder that Green Day is still great live band.

Squashie Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 The story that GD put on their instagram says nothing about a "rare" performance. It says "Relive epic performances one time only." As with most media - they will take something simple and blow it up to twist what the event is really promoting.There's really no pleasing some people. First they don't promote enough. Now they've been involved with every TV special for the COVID thing and ya'll are still bitchin'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Boy Named Booze Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Maybe it's rare for non-fans. I mean the Cardi B or 21 Pilots performance is maybe not rare for their fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I haven’t seen anything that suggests anything broadcast will be rare, but it is their most recent that we know of being recorded. I think this is a great idea, hope we can see it here and more orgs do something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillieJoe’sEyelids Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 The use of the word rare in the description is stupid. They picked a performance that is energetic and a crowd pleaser, and so did every other act involved with this. It’s called smart promotion. It’s not “lazy”.....every performance in this is not new. Again, when they’re involved in something that will be seen by millions, best to pick something that casual watchers will enjoy. It’s different when it’s something that specific to GD fans.

Beerjeezus Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 I wouldn't say it's a good practice to hype something as something it's not, but I guess this isn't a particularly well-known performance by the general public, so we're the only disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We know there's a ton of great pro-shot footage we haven't seen. Bastards. I'm pleased they're featuring GD at all, but I want new footage. Not something that we've literally just seen and that is readily available. The least they could do is not advertise it as rare and one time only.

Thatsername Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 They should have picked something unreleased from the RevRad era, like the British Summertime Hyde Park performance that was filmed, but never released. Many artists have put out live DVDs of their British Summertime Hyde Park performances. This would have been the perfect opportunity to give us something we haven't seen before.

jengd Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I agree with @Thatsername re the Hyde Park footage but I’m going to say it again, this isn’t aimed at us, it’s aimed at wider audience so if it means a load of people see how great this band is, then I’m ok with it. If they hadn’t featured then I would have been pissed off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hyde Park would've been great, but anythings better than nothing. The guys can't win with some people on here. Billie's getting attention even after FOAM, "waaaaah where's mike and tre". Billie's been putting out covers, "why've they not live-streamed a gig with the whole band?". The band's label is putting out a gig for free, "why's it not *random gig*?".

I think the first two are valid points when it comes to the band as a whole. I love the creativity Billie putting out and I get Mike and Tre are probably just enjoying their time with their family but in an era where it feels like so little promotion has been done, and then for the quarantining you’re happen, I get why fans want more. This whole thing about the what gig they are putting out— Seville is fine. Despite how little promo has been going on in FOAM, I’m glad they are trying to bring it to a wider audience. As much as I’d love an actual rare or deep cut performance, a wide audience isn’t going to appreciate it as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Hyde Park would have been a nice compromise. It would have been the same hit filled setlist, just an actual unseen show. It was just as mainstream a show as Seville. We’re not asking for deep cuts here, the general audience can enjoy any show that plays the hits. The fans just want something previously unreleased.
