You know you’re a Green Day fan when you hear One Eyed Bastard blasting out of a car driving by and it brings you great joy.

Such a thing NEVER happens to me! I really have the impression I'm the only one listening to Green Day for miles around. Well, except for my family and the neighbors who can't escape of course...😅

When at the company you work in one of the bosses talks about the "long view" for the company during a town hall meeting and all you can think of is a certain Green Day song

Sorry to say, but this is not the full show. It has three songs cut in the beginning. There's a few full show video on YouTube, but the audio has glitches. The only good video is the one in the download section

I've been so busy lately that I don't get on here much anymore, but here is the full show! I think someone else also posted a full show here but the video got removed.

Missed a couple of days because it was my birthday and I was recovering from the ordeal of being mind-controlled by The Network, so 23 November 2024 On this day 5 years ago (23 November 2019), Green Day recorded their set for the 2019 Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve.

"The band was half an hour late. There were no cellphones, so we had no idea what happened, but the audience stayed put until they arrived. Turns out, they got arrested in Irun, at the French-Spanish border. Shortly after the show started, Billie's guitar broke. A guy from the audience, who also played in a band, lent his guitar to Billie. Despite the arrest jokes, the concert was very good. They were quite good, but no one imagined they would go so far." — Deia 34 years ago (24 November 1990), Green Day played U-Gene's Bar in Pico Rivera, CA. ------------ 25 November 2024 On this day 11 years ago (25 November 2013), Foreverly was released. 27 years ago (25 November 1997), Green Day played The Rave in Milwaukee, WI on the Nimrod Tour. "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!" — Lindsay 29 years ago (25 November 1995), Green Day played the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, TN on the Insomniac Tour. 30 years ago (25 November 1994), Green Day played the Cobo Arena in Detroit, MI on the Dookie Tour. 33 years ago (25 November 1991), Green Day played Gaztetxe in Andoain, Spain. 35 years ago (25 November 1989), Green Day played at Swain's House in Benicia, CA. "It was at Swain's house. Susan made spaghetti. There was booze. It had rained a while bunch the days before and the driveway was dirt. It was muddy. Swain's band, The Happy Hour, didn't end up playing. We had a good time. Everyone was there. If I remember right, this would have been around the time Fifteen was slapping together their first record. Jack and Jeff rehearsed in Swain's garage. Writing songs, etc. My memory is shot, buddy. I remember we were a bit nervous to play which is why we didn't. I guess because Green Day was playing. I was loaded. 15 would have played all of the Swain stuff. I barely remember. I'm pretty certain this was Green Day before Tre. Yeah. So, early stuff, and Billie always did a few love songs for the 15 yr old girls." — Keith Alford They also played at 924 Gilman Street that day.

At the O2 in February 2017 I was up in the nosebleeds about as high as I could be. There was a kid one side of me and an elderly gentleman with his daughter the other. The kid started chanting "No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA" and I joined in. The gentleman and his daughter clearly didn't like it and scurried off to find a different seat! Another guy then joined in and we had the row left to the three of us dancing all night (although I did have to sit for the encore because my arthritis was playing up 😂)

On this day 5 years ago (3 November 2019), Green Day attended the EMAs in Seville, Spain. They won the Best Rock award. More photos: 7 years ago (3 November 2017), Green Day played the Arena Anhembi in São Paulo, Brazil on the Revolution Radio Tour. More photos: 15 years ago (3 November 2009), Green Day played the Olympiahalle in Munich, Germany on the 21st Century Breakdown Tour. More photos: 19 years ago (3 November 2005), Green Day played Holiday at the EMAs in Lisboa, Portugal. They won the Best Album award for American Idiot. More photos: 24 years ago (3 November 2000), Green Day played The Warehouse in Toronto, Canada on the Warning Tour. 26 years ago (3 November 1998), Green Day played the Teatro Monumental in Santiago, Chile. 27 years ago (3 November 1997), Green Day played the Jannus Landing in St. Petersburg, FL on the Nimrod Tour. 29 years ago (3 November 1995), Green Day played the Centrum in Worcester, MA on the Insomniac Tour. "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 Globe 30 years ago (3 November 1994), Green Day played a second night at the Hollywood Palladium on the Dookie Tour. That's very kind of you all 💚 I'm glad you've been enjoying it. I may well decide I can't bear to abandon it after I've put all this effort in But I'll see how I feel in a few days.

I've been doing monthly roundups of this stuff on GDA: https://www.greendayauthority.com/news/6215/ But I haven't been able to finish the last two because of a technical issue 😅 I can only post news so there's nothing I can do about that unfortunately. If/when it's fixed I'll finish them. This thread will obviously be here and in chronological order as long as GDC is. The GDA Tumblr can also be searched by date or place. To look for something specific, you can start with the URL https://greendayauthority.tumblr.com/tagged/ and add the place or date you're looking for to the end, eg. https://greendayauthority.tumblr.com/tagged/london or https://greendayauthority.tumblr.com/tagged/2 november. All the images that appear in the GDA Instagram story are also tagged on Tumblr with On This Day. If anyone is looking for anything specific and can't find it, you're also welcome to message me. To be honest though I don't know if I'll finish the project. I want to because it’s helping the GDA Instagram grow and I hope it’s helping GDC (which is why I’m doing it), but it’s taking up nearly all my free time. As supportive as my girlfriend is of everything I do, she’s very sick of hearing “I’m doing On This Day” 😂 Anyway, I'll do the next few days at least. Maybe I will finish it. I might decide I can't bear to give up on it at this point. The stuff will eventually be uploaded to Tumblr regardless. Anyway, 7 years ago yesterday (1 November 2017), Green Day played in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on the Revolution Radio Tour. More photos: 13 years ago (1 November 2011), Green Day played the Mezzanine in San Francisco, CA. They were supported by Kut U Up and if you think you know that name, it's because Billie branded Chris Cote on the Pop Disaster Tour. More importantly, they PLAYED 8TH AVENUE SERENADE. More photos: Shoutout to that photographer because all their photos from that show are brilliant. None of their pages are up anymore though. 15 years ago (1 November 2009), Green Day played Wembley Arena in London, England on the 21st Century Breakdown Tour. More photos: After the Wembley show, the Foxboro Hot Tubs played the Garage in Islington... and Stop, Drop & Roll was played no less than six times. "Green Day played a super-intimate impromptu show in their alternative guise as Foxboro Hot Tubs in the early hours of this morning in London (November 1). The band put in a chaotic performance at the Relentless Garage in Islington, hitting the stage shortly before 1am, playing to an audience of fanclub members, competition winners and invited guests. The venue had seen a show by poodle rockers Europe earlier in the evening, before shutting down and re-opening its doors at midnight. Arriving onstage dressed in a '60s-style suit, braces and trenchcoat, a clearly inebriated Billie Joe Armstrong introduced himself as his alter-ego The Reverend Strychnine Twist and proceeded to spend most of the show crowdsurfing, spraying and spitting beer into the crowd and addressing the front rows as 'baby girl.' Mike Dirnt arrived onstage smoking a cigarette while Tre Cool, also spraying beer into the front rows, was wearing a leopard print jacket. They were augmented by fellow Hot Tubs Jason White and Kevin Preston on guitar and Jason Freese on saxophone. The garage rock party band then played all the songs from last year's album 'Stop, Drop And Roll'. Green Day fans were in for a treat with a rare of airing of the main band's track Blood, Sex And Booze from their Warning album as well as Supermodel Robots, a track by the band's other alter-egos, The Network. As the night wore on, the band continued to goof around with Dirnt telling the audience: 'The only reason you’re here is you didn’t go to church yesterday.' Armstrong then asked the audience if they supported nearby football team Arsenal, before saying 'my favourite football team is Carling,' and spraying more of the beer into the crowd. With their entire catalogue exhausted after little more than half-an-hour, the band were not letting that put them off. Returning for the encore, the singer announced 'before anything else, we’re going to play the first song over again' - by the end of the show they would have played Stop Drop And Roll a total of six times, each time announcing that they could play it better than before. 27th Ave. Shuffle also got a second airing, and the band filled the rest of the time - close to two hours by the end - with a selection of covers including the Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop, Chuck Berry's Johnny B. Goode and 'My Generation' and 'A Quick One, While He’s Away' by The Who, repeating the 'you are forgiven' line over and over again, before playing Stop, Drop And Roll one final time." — NME (they called him The Reverend Strychnine "Twist," not me) @Hermione More photos: 26 years ago (1 November 1998), Green Day played a second night at the Parque Sarmiento in Buenos Aires, Argentina on the Nimrod Tour. 29 years ago (1 November 1995), Green Day played the Aitken University Centre in Fredericton, Canada on the Insomniac Tour (and pissed on the crowd). "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." — fan 30 years ago (1 November 1994), Green Day played the Arizona State Fair in Phoenix on the Dookie Tour. “This was my first concert. 14 years old. It changed my life forever. The energy was palpable. I'd never felt anything like it before. Before the concert started, the floor of the stadium was empty and all the seats around the Coliseum were full with every single punk and delinquent that lived in AZ at the time. I didn't even know that many existed in the state. Right before the band took the stage, the lights shut off and the stadium went dark. When the lights came back on, all the seats were empty. Practically every single person ran from their seats, down to the floor. And as the first song started, a sea of mosh pits erupted across the whole stadium floor and didn't end till the show was over.“ — Neill Holley “I was there too... I was a new paramedic working in medical up on the 2nd concourse. Had maybe 20-25 people with broken arms and wrists, a couple with broken jaws, some missing teeth, and a few asthma attacks. Once I stepped out of the 1st aid station and went to the rail to look over, it was chaos! I remember even now there were 5 mosh pits, and t-shirts were on fire and flying left and right like artillery shells in the dark. I'll never forget it. That was almost exactly 30 years ago and tomorrow I go to the Saviors tour in Arizona! This time as a fan.” — aerojef 33 years ago (1 November 1991), Green Day played 1000FRYD in Aalborg, Denmark. ------------------------------------------ On this day last year (2 November 2023), the Look Ma, No Brains music video was released. 5 years ago (2 November 2019), Green Day played the MTV World Stage in Seville, Spain. My recap is still up on GDA. https://www.greendayauthority.com/news/5942/ More photos: 20 years ago (2 November 2004), Green Day played the Air Canada Centre in Toronto, Canada on the American Idiot Tour. 24 years ago (2 November 2000), Green Day were interviewed and played 15 songs on Much Music Intimate and Interactive in Toronto, Canada. More photos: 27 years ago (2 November 1997), Green Day played the Buzz Bake Sale in West Palm Beach, FL on the Nimrod Tour. 30 years ago (2 November 1994), Green Day played the Hollywood Palladium on the Dookie Tour. They were supported by Pansy Division. "The audience tension during our set was more palpable. In the middle of one song, I got hit in the chest with a full Big Gulp-size cup of ice water. Pelted with coins, at one point I turned to David Ward midsong to see a trickle of blood dripping down from the middle of his forehead. He'd been hit with a quarter square on, but didn't know he was bleeding. Coins made big dents on my guitar. But we were defiant, Chris even more in-your-face than before, and it was exhilarating. After watching Green Day's set from the side of the stage, I walked out to where the T-shirts were being sold, and as the crowd dwindled, I saw a father buying his fifteen- or sixteen-year-old son a Pansy Division T-shirt. It was satisfying, after all that grief from the crowd, to see we'd gotten through to that one in a hundred." — Jon Ginoli of Pansy Division "After a summer playing to giant Lollapalooza and Woodstock audiences, Berkeley punk upstarts Green Day made a triumphant local return at the comparatively small Palladium, perhaps a bit road-weary but just as rowdy as ever. Short and simple, Green Day’s nearly hour long set (average by punk standards) packed an almost non-stop wallop as the band charged through such hits as psycho-rave Basket Case, mope-ish Longview and show closer She, a melodic ditty that’s as close to a love song as Green Day gets. Singer/guitarist Billie Joe, a 22-year-old flurry of power-chord Stratocaster moves and vocal howls, is the prototypical punk frontman, racing about the stage, arms beating the air, cheering on the moshing throng in front of the stage. Bassist Mike Dirnt (yet another Sid Vicious-styled punk bass player) and spastic drummer Tre Cool make for a solid if loose rhythm section. Aside from a lunk-head country-punk number and a sloppy Operation Ivy cover, the show was prime-form Green Day. Lots of attitude, very little posing and a great deal of fun." — Variety More photos: 33 years ago (2 November 1991), Green Day played JUZ Dampfmühle in Verden, Germany. More photos:

When you are having dinner with a group of people, most of which you've never met before, and before the end of the night you've hyped up the girl sitting next to you, whom you just met, so much about this Green Day tour that she pulls out her phone to see if there are any affordable tickets left for an upcoming Green Day show 😅

You take money out of your college savings to pay for tickets
