BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

And the video I saw had awful sound. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Rumpelstiltskin2000 Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Boy Named Booze Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 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.

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

jengd Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Just listened again to some of the footage and It various hugely in quality but it did occur to me that an ice hockey arena must be one of the most difficult places to get sound right in, and they would have had to do sound check with it empty.

Little Boy Named Booze Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. As @Jon Benjamin showed, it was posted on the fan app as a concert from 5-6 (then amended to a 5:00 start only but still said concert). Then when we were there, we learned OAR played for an hour the night before on the same stage, the security guys on Saturday told us they were scheduled to work there until six, one of the official photographers told me he believed it was going to be 45-60 min show, so basically all indications were that it would at least be a full set of songs, not two crowd warmups and a taping. There would have been plenty of time to play 5-6, since the game didn’t start until 7 and they weren’t due to play inside until second intermission around 9:00pm. I don’t know who you are referring to as “everybody knew”. Believe those of us who were there, literally everyone in the crowd around us was shocked and confused when they walked off. We’re not all stupid. The NHL never explained to anyone, even the people working there what this would actually be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
