Weird seeing them from above like that. Also seeing Billie struggling to drag his chord across the surface. And the video I saw had awful sound. 

There’s an HD version in the download section ;)

If the crowd really wasn't enthusiastic it makes me a little sad for FOAM songs. They may not be their best, but years from now, they'll be welcome deep cuts like trilogy songs now

FRA did air during the TV broadcast, they showed that first and then the two songs from inside the arena so that’s why they needed a good take.

Oh I didn't know that. It makes sense then but I've heard they were not happy about how the outdoor concert was handled so if the issue was not about them, it's reasonable for them to be pissed off, I think.

I thought he was just making a bit if a show of walking carefully over the ice, they were on a mat or something and had a red carpet strip out to their gear. He was signalling to the others to follow him onto the ice but they weren’t taking the risk.

Honestly the NHL don't give a fuck about this F-Bomb anyway. So at least their partnership still on!

This performance is so awesome and hilarious. Billie's "Get your FUCKING hands up in the air" is perfect :lol:

That's what I'm thinking. I think they wanted to do the show one way, maybe they wanted to give us at least 5 songs, and then the NHL came down and said nope you gotta do it this way.

Article here about the fans being disappointed with the short set

https://www.ticketnews.com/2020/01/green-day-fans-short-set/

The punk-rock group Green Day performed during NHL’s All Star Weekend game in St. Louis over the weekend amid their recently-announced partnership with the league, but fans who traveled hours to the gig were unaware that the billed concert was only supposed to be a brief set.

The outdoor gig, which was free and open to the public before max capacity was reached, took place on the block of 14th street downtown between Market Street and Clark Avenue. According to STLToday, the NHL estimated the crowd at 15,000 before Green Day took the stage at 5:20 p.m. The group came out singing their smash-hit “Know Your Enemy” from 2009’s 21st Century Breakdown and followed with “Bang Bang,” their successful hit from 2016’s Revolution Radio.

“Fire, Ready, Aim” came next, which has been a track geared toward the NHL and serves as the opening theme for NBCSN’s “Wednesday Night Hockey.” Frontman Billie Joe Armstrong told the crowd that the band needed to redo the song, to bring the energy up a notch, for a broadcast performance of the song. Then, after the crowd was energized, the band quickly left the stage, noting that they’ll see the crowd in the summer time on their Hella Mega Tour.

Fans waited to see if Armstrong, bassist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool would return to the stage, but they didn’t. Those in attendance were confused and disappointed that the show was cut so short, especially since some fans had begun lining up as early as 7 a.m. and traveled for hours just to see the show. It seems that the performance was just that – a performance – and not actually a full concert.

Following the short set, Green Day performed a second intermission performance on the ice inside the Enterprise Center during the All Star Game. They played “Fire, Ready, Aim” again, as well as classics “Basket Case” and “American Idiot.” The partnership with the NHL will last for two seasons through 2021, incorporating the Grammy Award winner’s songs through arena playlists and highlight packages.

While Armstrong told the crowd he’d see them in the summer, the Hella Mega Tour doesn’t actually make a stop in St. Louis. The iconic punk-rock tour, which will also feature Weezer and Fall Out Boy, kicks-off in North America this July in Seattle. They’ll appear in cities like Houston, Minneapolis, Chicago, Detroit, New York City and Boston before wrapping-up in Philadelphia late August. See the dates here. Green Day’s 13th studio album, Father Of All…, is due February 17.

Who said or thought that they were going to play a concert outside before the all-star game? Everybody knew they were going to play 3-4 song max. It's a free event. They're not gonna play 22 songs 😂 wow people can be stupid sometime.

Still just 20 mins of playing with the two arena songs added.

Yes well for the arena performance it's normal. Every band who have played the All-Star intermission have approximatively a 10 minutes performance.

NHL :lol:

I don't want to be a party crasher and to contradict you because I love you but on NHL.com we can read 

The band take the stage at 5 pm at 14th and Market Street for free performance open to public. In addition, Green Day will take the stage inside Enterprise Center during second intermission of the All-Star Game, and the performance will be shown live on NBC.

Nothing more :(

Oh I stand corrected :blush:

I guess it was someone on social media who who hyped it as a concert, can't blame NHL though, calling it a performance gives away that it was going to be short

this was from the NHL fan access app, it had been edited many times, first said 5-7, then 5-6, then deleted, then 5, now it changed concert to performance

So now that our boys experienced arena performance and watched all-star players during the week-end I hope they're gonna try to play hockey a little bit.

I want Billie Joe to be able to do this deke soon.
