On this day 3 years ago (17 August 2021), Green Day played in Columbus, OH on the Hella Mega Tour. I checked the date on the setlist this time to make sure it's not a show from two days ago. More photos: 12 years ago (17 August 2012), Green Day appeared on TV Asahi in Tokyo, Japan. They were interviewed and played Know Your Enemy. More photos: 19 years ago (17 August 2005), Green Day played in Oklahoma City on the American Idiot Tour. 26 years ago (17 August 1998), Green Day played in Halle, Germany on the Nimrod Tour. 33 years ago (17 August 1991), Green Day played Vino's in Little Rock, AR. More photos: I can agree about the Oh Love video Glad you enjoyed the post. I had a good laugh every time I found ANOTHER arse picture3 points

Oh I've been meaning to do this, I used to have a list but lost it so I'll have to start from scratch, be interesting to see how many I've seen. Do you include covers or just GD songs? 19 new in one show is impressive!2 points

Was just updating my Green Day songs I've seen live list, and the Wrigley show added 19 new songs to my existing 39. Make you realize just how big their catalog is.2 points

On this day 7 years ago (16 August 2017), Green Day played in Noblesville (Indianapolis), IN on the Revolution Radio Tour. If you think I already posted this on the 14th, you would be correct. They actually played in Maryland Heights (St. Louis) on the 14th. I'll add the correct photos and info to that post. My brain is fried. More photos: 12 years ago (16 August 2012), Green Day played SHIBUYA-AX in Tokyo, Japan. That was a great setlist with some rarely heard trilogy songs – Nuclear Family, Carpe Diem, Angel Blue (!!!!!!), Kill the DJ, Troublemaker and Lady Cobra. More photos: If only other people had ears as superior as mine, the trilogy might have been popular enough to get an anniversary tour one day. Well, in all seriousness I'm going deaf, so I'm not sure what that actually says about anything I like. The Oh Love video was also released 12 years ago today. More stills, since most people on GDC don't want to subject themselves to the video again: 14 years ago (16 August 2010), Green Day played in Mansfield, MA on the 21st Century Breakdown Tour. I could've sworn I saved everything in the Picture Vault from the 21st Century Breakdown era, but apparently not. Have a video of them playing Scattered instead. 15 years ago, Green Day played in Salt Lake City, UT on the 21st Century Breakdown Tour. Billie brought his mum onstage during Before the Lobotomy at this show. I'm sure I've seen a photo at some point, but I haven't got it and when I tried to Google it, all I got was a fanfic called "Billie Joe is my stepfather and I hate it." Then I went digging in my "Live Random" folder only to find photos of Billie's arse. Edit: Found a video! More photos: 23 years ago (16 August 2001), Green Day played Rock Oz'Arènes in Avenches, Switzerland. 26 years ago (16 August 1998), Green Day played Zillo Festival in Hildesheim, Germany. More photos: 32 years ago (16 August 1992), Green Day played Saratoga Lanes in San Jose, CA. 33 years ago (16 August 1991), Green Day played the Antenna Club in Memphis, TN. Someone messaged the GDA Instagram saying this was where the band met Jason White. I actually didn't know that so I've no idea if it's true.2 points

I think it's a scam. I notice now that between store and green Day is missing a . Plus tour shirt online before the tour ends it highly unlikely. I must admit it's very well made but scam1 point

Okay we now got several pics and videos by Billie and Jason on Instagram where we see a Gibson Les Paul Double Cut in TV Yellow which does definitely not look like a used model from the 50s. So how are the chances that we get a new signature model? 😍1 point

I agree, but as long as we don't go back to the Macy's Day Parade video look, I won't pick too much 😄 Also, I love how for the St. Louis patch tonight, the cat's holding a baseball bat even though the show isn't at Busch III 😄1 point

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.1 point

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!1 point

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.1 point

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!1 point

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.1 point

T-minutes 6 days to go!!! Upgraded my tickets from the upper section to the lower section so I’m finally starting to get hyped. I’m taking both of my sisters and it’ll be my younger sister’s first time seeing them1 point

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 more1 point

Went to the Chicago show while having food poisoning! Luckily I was ok since I didn’t eat or drink anything there. I just felt weak though, lots of standing! I recently saw blink 182 and Tom performed with food poisoning so I figured if he can perform with it, I could watch a show with it.1 point

Hope Billie is feeling better today and is ready for the Chicago folks! In the moment in Philly, I really thought he sounded fantastic up until he said he fucked up his voice at the end. Now as I’m listening back to footage I and others took, I’m realizing that his issues clearly started earlier in the night and were probably just pushed over the edge during Bobby Sox. I honestly thought he seemed a little distracted/maybe not as happy as he has been on this tour during the Philly show and put it down to performing in the rain. But now I think he was kinda pushing through vocally and realizing it was worsening.1 point

Poor Billie! I guess it's not surprising when he's giving it his all doing these super long setlists night after night, my voice was messed up from singing along at one show lol. Hope he's better soon. It's nice that the show is rescheduled instead of cancelled. That would be awesome. And King For a Day is the best and I will never get tired of it1 point

Just a lil (but long, sorry) musing. Feeling very lucky: Back in 2005, after like 8 months of listening to American Idiot, I decided that Green Day meant a little (a lot) more to me than any band ever had and I wanted to go to their concert. They were on the fourth US leg of their American Idiot tour by that point, and my dad had trouble finding tickets. He finally grabbed some with just a couple weeks to spare. Last fall, I hadn’t had much to do with Green Day in a solid three years. I somehow got word that they were teasing a new single, and I liked what little I heard of it. Three days later, I watched them perform TADIKM live for the first time and announce their tour, and I didn’t even have to think before I decided that I was going to make it happen and see them again, even though I hadn’t ventured to a concert since COVID. I decided they were worth it, and managed to get amazing seats. This past week, the Philly show felt so uncertain due to all the bad weather in the forecast. I was so worried my show would be the one to get canceled, but then in the back of my mind I kept thinking nah, I’m the luckiest when it comes to Green Day. I swear the universe conspires to keep them in my orbit. Anyway, I just got home from the venue that was across the street from where I first saw them nearly 19 years ago. They played a lot of the same songs from the American Idiot tour, but I felt infinitely more moved by them now. 20 years has gone so fast.1 point
