I just don't have the money these days. My collection kind of stops at 21CB except for some bits and pieces (and I'm buying the Saviors variants one at a time!). Would love that CD with "A quick one" on it though! I was lucky to see them play it at Leeds Festival in 2013

Missed a few days again. It's been a busy week. Anyway. 5 December 2024 On this day 20 years ago (5 December 2004), Green Day played in Mexico City on the American Idiot Tour. 24 years ago (5 December 2000), Green Day played the Palladium in Cologne, Germany on the Warning Tour. 30 years ago (5 December 1994), Green Day played the Z100 Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden in NYC... that time when Billie didn't know if he'd ever play there again so he got naked.

"As with the show in LA, Whip It was played right before Green Day came on. Billie, Mike, and Tre ran onto the stage. Everyone went wild. Then with no intro, Billie starts with, 'Here we go again,' then Mike and Tre join in. After like the third song, some prick in the audience started throwing shit at Mike. Mike warned him by stating, 'If you throw anything else, I'm going to beat your fucking ass.' Well, after the next song, Mike jumped into the crowd to do just that, beat that kid's ass. Guess who it was? It was Mark Hoppus from the band Blink-182. (What a dick!) Anyway, they played just about everything I could have asked for (save for Eye Of The Tiger). They even brought a kid up on stage to play Knowledge with them. Billie is hilarious. He made fun of Bush, Matchbox 20, and especially Marilyn Manson. He even sang The Beautiful People over the bass line of Longview. At the end of the show, as always, Mike and Tre trashed the stage while Billie played around with his guitar playing some nasty-ass chords. Then he closed with Good Riddance. I swear to God it brought tears to my eyes. It was the best show I ever seen." — Rick Savage 29 years ago (8 December 1995), Green Day played the Freeman Coliseum in San Antonio, TX on the Insomniac Tour. 32 years ago (8 December 1992), Green Day played Thunder Bay in Berkeley, CA. 33 years ago (8 December 1991), Green Day played Vort'n Vis in Ypres, Belgium. "I was there, interviewed Billie Joe and Tre for my zine. They were really nice, we talked for 30 minutes on the first floor. And their concert was excellent! They played for 45 minutes, good level of energy, they seemed to enjoy themselves. I went to a lot of gigs at the Vort'n Vis at that time and I definitely respect them more than many of 'DIY' hardcore punk bands playing drunk, being very sloppy and touring Europe solely for sightseeing and free beer." — Philippe Klur Interestingly, someone else said the opposite: "Mike Dirnt, Tré Cool and Billie Joe Armstrong acted really 'cool'. They weren't very friendly, mildly put. Were they having a 'green day'? Or were they expecting a fancier venuer? Never saw any photos of that gig. The only trace of their passage seems to be the entry in the Vort'n Vis guestbook." — 90's Vort'n Vis 35 years ago (8 December 1989), Green Day played 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, CA. More photos:

That's a shame. Until about the trilogy era I used to check eBay every day but haven't ever since and likewise no money these days

This was on sale on eBay... for around 100 bucks just a couple of months ago. I had no money at the time to buy it.

(2) They had 45+ tracks during these era and we only know less than half of these (which are the album tracks) excluding Wonderful, Murder City and other unknown post-2008 tracks.

So true. You're just got to keep checking ebay regularly, especially for sale offers. Been some great discount offers on Discogs recently.

Well, you should check eBay more often. Nowadays I found gems like: Singles Box (1998 Japanese version), Poprocks & Coke Japanese Single, some Warning (album) Promo just to mention some stuff, and sometimes you could be really lucky with the prices.

OMG! That photo on the top is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!

Your both so right. It's so addictive. Can't stop playing the album, it's awesome. So, it's no use resisting the urge to play it, you can't fight it. "But it's just enough being alive, don't break your heart chasing the sun, Don't wish on stars, just let them shine, Shine". ❤️

I wonder if they have a kind of stencil or something like that? Otherwise that guy's pretty good!

MOST beautiful billboard!

added the Japanese release to my collection and pleasantly surprised it comes with 2 posters and the flexi!

Just read an article on SF Gate website, Green Day have paid for the Murray Bowles book to be published. ❤️

Not sure if these are relevant and of era mentioned. Telephone message songs, poor quality including:- What About Today 2006 Things I Heard Today 2006 Second Time around 2007 Would be great to hear quality demos of those. Also, Hybrid Moments 2002. Is only a video release? Other songs on You Tube as MP3, Waste Away (Demo) The Pedestrian (Demo) Broadway (Demo)

Especially now those suffering in Ukraine and Middle East. Please, please may peace come soon.

This is actually the only theory I've read about the tapes having disappeared (in one way or another) that I'm willing to believe. I can kind of see that happening, and would explain why they have never released a studio version of C&V even if there is a live version out there. If this is what happened, then I can also imagine that the "stolen tapes" story was probably also made up to hype the fans about it, so they would really want to listen to it, thus creating a market for those tapes that the label wouldn't "push" and that now they have no way of releasing and profiting from. Being indeed a very punky move. If that's what they did, I see you guys, and you are little punk geniuses. I've said it before and I'll say it again, that American Idiot alt version is the missing link between Warning and American Idiot (the albums, not the songs).
