This is so wild. I was NOT expecting this, but I'm so excited to watch. All of this high quality footage I've never seen before!

They are really hurting my wallet these days. Ordered the vinyl right away, watching the tour video atm, this is so cool!

Sigh....I'm so sick of buying stuff :lol:

Nvm I found the answer. I wonder if other stores will sell this. I really hate to pre-order for something I won't even get til next year.

This is such great news!! Totally unexpected too! I can't wait to see the etching in the vinyl! The only thing it's missing is the b-sides, it would have been cool to have them on that 2nd lp but that's alright, I think they're all on shenanigans anyways, aside from the good riddance demo

holy fuck, I just bought the 2xLP reissue of nimrod, but I might have to get this too. Those live cuts are too enticing...

I just really want the print. I love Insomniac — and it would go great with my House of Blues poster! What's funny is that one is just 1 of 200 printed, but I don't think it even cost half as much as this one. :lol:

 some of those live cuts (if not everything?) can be found on singles as b-sides or on the bowling bowling bowling parking parking ep. pre-ordered anyway. 😅

That video footage is such a nice surprise! :wub: 

I just listened to the album in full for the first time in ages and was once again reminded how much I love it... Now trying to convince myself I don't need Insomniac merch :lol:

Expect them to do the unexpected. Dookie anniversary? Whatever. Insomniac? Celebrate the fuck out of that shit. 😂 

Well, I mean they did do the Barnes and Noble colored vinyl reissue, but with not as much hype surrounding it I suppose...

What would be AMAZING is if they'd have studio outtakes on the second LP, much like they're doing with The Beatles nowadays. I think it'd make for a much more interesting listen, to see the progression of the songs. But either way it's great!

The video is shit, but a moment of appreciation for what was probably one of my favorite moments at a Green Day show -- getting to hear this live! 

I literally didn't have my feet on the ground because the pit was packed so tight that I was being suspended in the air by my shoulders. Good times. :lol: @Laura! and I got the setlist! I also got a guitar pick and after the show the crew through out a bunch of Trè's used drumsticks to us creepers waiting to see them leave the venue.

If anyone has a better video... ugh, PLEASE post it!

 

What? They played Armatage Shanks during RevRad?? They didn't do it in Quebec...

They played it a few times on whim during RevRad. I think Scattered was played a few times as well.

YES! Best record of their early career. I fucking love Insomniac! I reeeeeeeaaaally want the Insomniac press, but I already bought the re-press of Nimrod and Foxies and I don't even have a record player. What do do??? 😫
