Popular Post pacejunkie punk Posted July 30, 2022 Author Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2022 Am I the only one that sings “On my own here we go” out loud whenever I watch a live version of Brain Stew on video?

Same! I love it. That and Bang Bang are my favorite RevRad songs. It’s crazy they never played it much even on that tour. It really sounds so good live ❤️ 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post BrendanL Posted July 30, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 30, 2022 My show recaps are often a collection of my thoughts throughout the gig and little details I picked up and things I noticed. So here goes. I left Madison at 7:30 in the morning and got to the venue by 10:00, good for #14 in line. When I got there, the majority of people ahead of me did not have tickets. Many had traveled from out of state. Even by the time doors opened, a few people ahead of me still did not have tickets and were going to try to plead once they got inside. Wisely, they moved out of the way to let some ticket holders by. There was no warm act and no hype song, although some members of the crowd sang Bohemian Rhapsody on their own which was amusing. Obviously the band deviated from the setlist after just two songs, with Billie calling Revolution Radio instead of KYE. I think that caught the band by surprise as Kevin rushed out from behind the cabs and onto the stage just in time. This would become a common theme throughout the set, with Billie either calling the next song after referencing the setlist or just seemingly deciding on his own. Earlier in the set, I think either just before or just after Longview, Billie called the next song to Tré and it was evident that Tré was trying to catch his breath - he mouthed to Billie “I’m tired!”. He was an absolute workhorse all night. I saw him taping a finger between songs - probably blisters. Tré drums hard. I’m pretty sure he added some new fills that I hadn’t heard before into a couple of songs. I thought the three song Kerplunk sequence would be my favorite moment of the show - that is, until Billie Joe tuned down his guitar and started Whatsername. I was completely in shock when they started it - no way in a million years did I ever think I would hear that song live. Interesting that it wasn’t on the printed setlist, so I wonder what inspired them to play it. Maybe it was always planned - we can only speculate. Billie was definitely red-eyed for most of the song, not unlike the BIAB performance of Wake Me Up When September Ends. A very, very emotional performance of Whatsername, one that I’ll never forget. They just kept playing and playing and playing! 10 songs in and it felt like they had been playing forever, just due to the sheer excitement and the unknown as to what would come next. It felt like it would never end. When Billie called out JAR, the gentleman who I believe to be the band’s head of security pulled a setlist out of his pocket and looked at it in confusion, as if to say “when will this end?”. That was a really funny moment that made me laugh out loud. And still two songs followed! I recorded Too Dumb To Die (my favorite from RevRad) and Church On Sunday, both of which I will post to YouTube and link here in this thread. Wow, what a show - I’m still trying to process it all. A dream setlist, one that probably won’t be topped anytime soon. This will go down as an all-time show for sure. Incredibly lucky and grateful to have witnessed it! Thanks for reading and feel free to ask any questions you may have. 22 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC was so bad, the crowd was terrible, there was a guy who was using his little kid to cut people in line, and he ran past everyone on the stairs to get in front. I seriously almost got crushed by the crowd and was scared that if I fell no one would notice and I would get trampled. I had to leave the pit and I was sitting outside since early in the morning (I remember seeing you Alissa!) The show was totally ruined for me 😕 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greendepent Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 As I far I recall, Whatsername wasn't perfomed in full besides the AI full shows in 2004/2005. Also, this would be the first time without backing track ever. I'm also having a hard time remembering when was the last time they performed Disappearing Boy without any covers in between. Full performances are rare, but no covers? Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full performances are rare, but no covers? Haha I noticed that too. No Sweet Home Alabama. These performances were all very true to their studio versions and I think they all sounded great. Billie’s voice was perfect and the band sounded tight and very well rehearsed, particularly for the setlist songs. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that featured any covers/medleys then the House of Blues show in Cleveland would be the last time (played it as Sweet Children). https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/green-day/2016/rough-trade-nyc-brooklyn-ny-3fd1d4f.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamykatie Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 @BrendanL thank you so much for your recap! Really sounds like Billie just said 'fuck it' which is amusing and makes me feel for Mike and Tre especially. Also Kevin, having to jump out a lot. I thought I said this already but seems that I forgot. I'm just floored by how amazing this live version of Warning was, especially since they haven't performed it live since 2001. And it sounded terrific, I think it was one of the best performances of the night. This concert sounds like it's definitely going to go down in Green Day history as one of their best performances. Even though I couldn't be there live, I'm so glad I could be a part of it through the live streams. Kinda took me back to watching live videos of the Cipher Hunt back in 2016! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamykatie Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 dunno where else to put this, but I wasn't actually expecting this kind of response from the venue after I tweeted this out last night! At least it quelled my suspicion that a staff member streamed it without the venue knowing, and that's why it stopped. https://imgur.com/a/R3dUmAo 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
