It's so weird seeing Billie with non-skinny pants legs. Strange days are here again, and they are here to stay. Every since Billie's pants it hasn't been the same.

I’m jealous that you guys got a pic of Billie getting good air like that, such a cool pic. But Philly got some gorgeous rain pics, which feels special. That’s what I ended up opting for because 1) I found those pics, um, very attractive, and 2) I felt like that was what set the Philly show apart and wanted that memorialized!

I was so fixated on his face that it took me half the show to notice what pants he was wearing. I also had no awareness of Mike whatsoever until his part in Homecoming. Sorry Mike, I need to make the most of my time when in the presence of the loml.

My favorite moment like that is during the 99 Revolutions tour in Rosemont, IL. Billie kept shouting "CHICAGO! CHICAGO!" then paused as if Mike whispered "Billie we're in the suburbs" and then Billie says "ILLINOIS!" Smooth, Billie. Real smooth.

Yesterday I posted Wrigley pics from Mike's side of the catwalk; for this show I was on Jason's side! Oddly enough, I got to the 2021 show earlier than this year's, but got second row that year instead of barricade like this year.

I can't decide amongst 4 pics. I would go with the one with him wearing a hat, but it says Cubs, and I would never have that word on me. 😠

This is great! The 1996 show was one of the biggest moments in the Indonesian punk scene at the time. If anyone is interested, I've written a short article about it on GDA. https://www.greendayauthority.com/news/6179/ My trove of useless Green Day knowledge is finally of some (minor) use!

On this day 3 years ago (15 August 2021), Green Day played Wrigley Field on the Hella Mega Tour. More photos: 15 years ago (15 August 2009), Green Day played in Denver, CO on the 21st Century Breakdown Tour. More photos: 32 years ago (15 August 1992), Green Day played the Anaconda Theatre in Isla Vista, CA on the Kerplunk Tour.

"Chicago!!! I love you!! What a night"

Figured this belonged here. Sweaty neck, eyes closed...

He’s geography challenged. I remember seeing them one time in Camden (South Jersey, right near Philadelphia) and he was like “we’re basically in New York!” And I was like honey…no. @Montclare Were you like, on the stage??? Incredible pics!

Did the Chicago show last night. I got there at 1pm and there were only about 15 people there. Even by 3pm, it was only up to maybe 30-40. I was really surprised by that, but hey, good news for getting up front. The staff at Wrigley massively screwed up the wristbands. They were supposed to give yellow wristbands to people in the pit, but instead gave us pink, so when we got out to the field, the field staff wouldn’t let us in. Had to run back and get yellow ones; by this time, they figured out they were giving out the wrong wristbands, but it basically meant the people who showed up at 3pm got better spots than the ones who showed up at 7am. Luckily I still got a spot on the barricade at the end of the crosswalk on Mike’s side, which is what I wanted anyway (past couple shows I’ve been on Jason’s side, so I wanted to switch it up). Pre GD- Guitarist from the Linda Lindas tried to toss a pic into the audience and it landed on Alice Baxley. The Pumpkins drum was massively mic’d up; you could feel it in the floor. It was great to hear Bullet with Butterfly Wings; I’d put it right behind Smells Like Teen Spirit for the seminal songs of the 90s. There was a guy massively headbanging during the Pumpkins while wearing a Taylor Swift vest. Tre was watching the first few Pumpkins songs from the side. The show was great. Felt like I got run over by a truck by the end of the night; surprised I’m not more sore today. Got hit by at least 6 crowd surfers in the head, neck, and shoulder (after the first one, I was like, didn’t I have a ponytail in? They somehow managed to remove my ponytail holder). People around me were great and kept asking me if I was okay. It was like I was in the designated crowd surfer lane. During Minority, Billie highlighted Coley, and I think forgot to mention Mike. They almost forgot to bring out Blue to him afterwards. It was great seeing the Saviors songs; I was kind of surprised they kept Bobby Sox in after his voice issues, but he sounded great all night. After they finished Dookie, it was like, wow, and we still have a whole album to go! I’ll be seeing them next week in Milwaukee. You can tell you’re getting older when your first thought at the end of the show is “I get to do this again next week!” and then your body says “I have to do this again next week?!”. Few pics I took- Few more

One of the world’s greatest bands, Green Day is coming to Indonesia! February 15, 2025, at Carnaval Ancol, Jakarta. Tickets go on sale at 3 PM on August 27, 2024, exclusively at http://greendayjkt.com

I am a huge fan of your trove of Green Day knowledge!

I must confess I also miss Billie's skinny pants. But overall he's had a cool look on this tour, it's interesting how he's been mixing up his outfits more @Montclare Great recap. You got amazing and sexy pics!

Really solid point, there would be massive legal implications to that theft. But yet again, we know most likely The Network stole it and in their jurisdiction this may not even be a crime.

Blasphemy! Blond Billie is best Billie. My confessional: I spend a fair bit of time thinking about what I’d ever say to him should I be lucky enough to meet the legend. I think I’ve got it pretty refined!

Random fangirl thought at the show last night- even though the pants are looser, they're still fitted around his butt. His tiny little butt.

Those were in my narrowed down ones, but I figured it was likely to have ones like that at the Milwaukee show. I went with the one with him sticking out his tongue, since I figured it'd be less common. And you know I love the pics with him sticking out his tongue.

Hey! How dare you say that to The Grohl! I will drink 20 pots of coffee and go berserk on you if you besmirch the name of Foo Fighters again!

Yeah, I noticed other than the Be silently drawn, you could see the car tattoo since he had another button open. We don't get to see that one as much.

Having heard previously unreleased material from other artists, there's usually a good reason it stays unreleased.

Yeah I'm not a fan of the non skinny pants 👎

Did I miss something? What is $450?? Is there still payment issue with the official site? I have tried with my card numerous times and just wanna make sure it’s the site and not my card. Thanks!

$200 is ridiculous. $450 for a box set? Nothing more punk than gratuitous price gouging, eh? Sorry, but the prices are shameful.

Thank you! I always aim for the catwalk.

I also went to the Chicago show last night! It was a last minute decision, but I scored a good ticket for a good price. I've never seen Green Day in a stadium before and it's a wild experience. I haven't seen Green Day in four years; the last time I saw them was in St. Louis for the NHL All Star Game. Seeing them in such a huge space is truly a spectacle. It's like their arena shows but cranked up x1000. It was so thrilling to have them up on stage with the pyro, fireworks, and balloons! I really enjoyed the stage setup. They had some really cool graphics for the big screens with plenty of references to Saviors, Dookie, and AI. The inflatables were cool, especially the plane that flew around the crowd. Though I couldn't help but think they must have hired the same effects company as blink-182 It's crazy how good Green Day sounds. There were so many times where I was singing so hard I almost thought I was listening to the album. Then I would look on stage like "oh shit they're right there!" I'm so glad Billie made a speedy recovery. He sounded fantastic. I was also sitting in a great section in the bleachers. Not only did I have a great view, the people around me were fun! There was a family with a little kid seeing what had to be his first GD show. The dad was singing his heart out too. In the row before me were a cute couple who kept making up their own silly dances for each song. There were also several older fans who were jumping up and down! You love to see it. Other random things I remember: - Billie saying "This is fucking me up right now" during Give Me Novocaine - Billie messing up the lyrics to I think Extraordinary Girl and ...I think Emenius Sleepus - Billie putting a cubs hat and a random cowboy hat - Butt wiggling - Kevin. Just Kevin - Billie shouting out Chicago, Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin throughout the night....He could've stopped at Chicago since we're in the city proper but I'll allow it - Billie laughing when Mike and Tre started dancing around him during "Good Riddance" Overall, I had a great time. Not sure if I would pay for a show at Wrigley again. It's a clusterfuck. I didn't expect it be so difficult to navigate inside of Wrigley. It was packed! Getting home was a mess; luckily my bf was parked in the area and took me home. And as much as I liked the show, I prefer to see the band in a smaller venue even if that is an arena like United Center. Still, it was a great night. Definitely gave me a good dose of happiness I've been missing lately.

If they wanted to release it they would. There's a reason they haven't.

https://next.eventshop.com/green-day You can grab custom merch using pics from the Chicago show here! The store is only open for 7 days, so act fast.

I considered the one where Billie is in the air and the one with Billie holding the guitar leaning over the crowd with that smoldering look on his face

Yes, and I believe tomorrow (or tonight) may be the last day for Philly… I just can’t choose, and I refuse to get more than one item since I had to get the poster for Philly.

Could you PM it to me?

Documentary trailer is now on Instagram! I think I am a few days late on this (been very busy), but I hadn't seen anyone post it here yet. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-c0TbXuYj6/

Not to mention flash of chest tattoo. 😍😜

I signed, despite being convinced that C&V máster doesn't exist.

Can I just say, Chicago seems like a pretty special place for Green Day? Think about it.... There's Jaded in Chicago. We kicked off the 99 Revolutions tour after Billie's stint in rehab. We got intimate shows at Aragon and the Metro. Billie had to call out sick, but what was his first show after he got better? Chicago Not to mention Billie said Wrigley is one of his fave stadiums AND we are responsible for the memorable shart story. So clearly....Green Day needs to post up in Chicago. We're a magical city for them. They love us. Just saying....

I'll be at this show and cannot wait to hear Dookie and American Idiot in their entirety.

Even I, despiser of the blond, was okay with it last night. He looked good. Now to go through my pics.

On this day 7 years ago (14 August 2017), Green Day played in Maryland Heights (St. Louis), MO on the RevRad Tour. More photos: 12 years ago (14 August 2012), the Oh Love EP was released. 14 years ago (14 August 2010), Green Day played in Holmdel, NJ on the 21st Century Breakdown Tour. 26 years ago (14 August 1998), Green Day played (setlist incomplete) the Free Wheels Festival in Cunlhat, France on the Nimrod Tour. 30 years ago (14 August 1994), Green Day played their iconic set at Woodstock on the Dookie Tour. 32 years ago (14 August 1992), Green Day played at Berkeley Square which was, shockingly, in Berkeley, CA. I always assumed it was a plaza, but it was a nightclub. 33 years ago (14 August 1991), Green Day played in Indianapolis, IN.

Wowza Billie was looking so good last night. The red shirt!!! What a nice surprise for Chicago! Every time they showed his big head and floofy hair on the big screens I couldn't help but internally scream "my freaking god you are so cute. How?!" Not to mention we got some booty shaking too!!

OP obviously missed the part about the master tapes being stolen. That definitely happened, no doubt about it. But yeah, a petition ain't gonna cut it, sorry. Besides, apart from the title track which we've already heard - and is fiiiiiiinnnne, I suppose - the rest of the album has probably found its way into subsequent works anyways in some guise or another. They love recycling old ideas, as we know. If the band deemed the album trash, it's probably trash.

Just saw Kevin's story of doing Tilt at the Hancock. I literally did that 3 days ago. 😂

What a show 🤩 Green Day in a stadium truly is a spectacle. They have a fantastic stage set up with great videos screens. I really liked the retrospective video that introduced the concert. The big inflatables were cool too. It's sensory overload. I didn't know where to look most of the time. If be drooling over Billie on the screen and then I'd realize oh shit he's right there on stage! And Billie....oh my poor heart. He looked sooooo good in the RED SHIRT 🥵 The floof! The eyes! The smile and Kevin 😏 there were some great shots of Kevin and Jason. Billie was so dorky and funny! Shaking his hips, pouting at the camera, giggling, and rocking different hats. He's so stinking cute! And he sounded great. Fully recovered. It was wild hearing both of these albums live in full. It really took me back to when I got into Green Day. I still remember picking up American Idiot at Circuit City and falling in love with them. I picked up Dookie at Walmart with my allowance. I've been listening to this band for 20 years! And while I was screaming my lungs out in just thought I love this band so fucking much. I don't know if I would see them or another show at Wrigley again (unless it was free) but I'm glad I experienced them in this setting. I definitely had the time of my life. (Though they should have closed with fancy sauce)

Think we could push for a record player too? Haha. I actually HAVE a record player though.

You get up there and sing Do Da Da and I'll sing THE SAINTS ARE COMING.

Just saw someone on a insta post saying they wished he'd performed with a fucked up voice because "THEYD PAID FOR A TICKET, HOW DARE THEY" and honestly, how can anyone be that fuckin selfish?!

I watched BIAB last night, and may I say they are all 🔥🔥🔥🔥 in that...
