If the next show:

- is within the next month

- isn't on February 23rd-26th

- is announced with a couple of days time (and I see it on time -_-) 

- I can get a ticket for the show

- the plane is under 600€

... I'm going! :P

^Great song! One of my favs doing one of my favs looks pretty damn nice. Definitely a more “sober” event than a FBHT show or something in a metaphorical and real sense of the word. Glad to see it. BJ is wearing a straight up tux.

I was gonna go but was too lazy and not in the best state of mind at the time. Of course I wish I went.

Omg this whole thing sounds so great. Have I been living under a rock? :o 

Are there really good quality videos/audio already?

It was completely sold out! Would you have gotten in anyway? ;)

Crazy Train too?! How long was this show?? It seemed like they played a lot that wasn’t on the setlist and the list was longer than the last show.

Well, I suppose anything is not definite but for intents and purposes, yes.

So it looks like the FBHT shows Billie once talked about are now turning into Coverups shows ;) I'm so excited what they will play tonight, I'm hoping for some The Who covers. I would love to hear them doing Pinball Wizard or Behind Blue Eyes. Some more Stones would be great too. But whatever they're playing, I'll be waiting for videos eagerly tomorrow morning. Have fun everyone who's going (and yes, I hope they'll do this in Europe one day ... please?)

Totally! I think I said earlier, this is like sober FBHT, and as a man getting older, I’m just fine with that. Billie has a few years on me, but not many and I find it sweet that his desires in life sort of parallel mine quite often just because of age not that I still wouldn’t want and maybe even prefer (although I don’t think so honestly) an FBHT show. I thought we would tbh, just to play some of the new tracks. Perhaps to come. I’ll always love Billie’s desire for intimacy. He’s a true lover of live music and loves the small shows. I love that. Always have.

^^^ That Hello Kitty guitar is so cute. Must be cast offs from the shop. What were the other raffle prizes this time around? There’s precious little video of the raffles.

:cry: I hope they still want to do some FBHT shows too at some point. Is that greedy? Honestly, I just hope whatever they do they eventually bring it to NYC. They could cover Justin Bieber for 2 hours and I'd still go :lol: (actually that might be kind of comical).

I believe they will, as I just stated when they want to try some new stuff. Of course they could just do GD secret pop ups. On the other hand, they have done sober FBHT shows but a real hardcore FBHT show almost can’t happen sober IMO. I mean it can, but it’s a different thing. Just honesty. The off the hook crazy FB shows we don’t want to see. That was a form of unhinged Billie, just wasn’t on iHeart.

Holy shit. Just saw that. Okay, very funny. Now shave that shit Billie because no, just no. Ha. He must of lost a bet.

I get the feeling now that every show going forward is going to cause more of a stir. Now I’m wondering what they’re gonna do (or play, or wear, or say) next. Good times.

And way to entertain the fans (and yourselves) during an otherwise quiet time for Green Day. This is really helping to fill the gap.

Sugarhill Gang too. This song takes me back.

 

Edit: oh I hear it now. Someone was just rapping the lyrics of Rapper’s Delight. Sort of out of place but yeah, awesome! 

 

***(before updated) ??? Where do you hear Sugarhill? You got me so excited. That would be amazing.

 

Now that it’s obviously there, Billie was actually stepping all the fuck over the lyrics. He was playing an odd solo in an odd place during the verse, not a break. Very weird. I love the song since I was a child. Bizarre. I think it more to do with the audio though. Either by recording or the FOH mixer who was probably nervous as fuck even controlling Billie’s mix, unless their own boys took over. Either way, Billie could hear himself in the monitors, that lead and low vocals made the song sound strange.

The clip was identified as Rappers Delight. Sounded like it to me 🤔 Am I having a senior moment?

Yeah, go re-read my post. It definitely is. Outside I couldn’t hear it because the front house mixer blew up billies guitar and dropped down the lyrical dude (not unexpectedly) Tbh, it was a very odd rendition of a great hip hop song. If you ever asked me if a BJA fronted group would be playing Rapper’s Delight I would think you’re nuts but would love it. I can’t say I love their version and again, Billie was stepping all over the verse. I rarely criticize Billie when he wants to play but that song is all about the drum and bass and that lead was out of place.  IMHO

However, TBF, this is a recorded video track and the live mix might have sounded perfect.

I’d like to see a full video of it. He may have just stuck that in there but the rest might have been good.

I agree. They love to play and we didn’t get another leg that I would have expected on previous tours ala 2009. The US got two legs but Europe and especially Brits got a second in 2009 if memory serves.
