I disconnected myself from the entire world to see three of my favorite people ever  I'm so happy!!!

My body still hurts, I was almost crushed by a sea of people at the front row but I don't care- IT WAS WORTH IT. Classic setlist, and always the same good energy and love... and i'll stop writing because i'm starting to cry. Love U Green Day. Gracias!!!

I heard him as good as always. Although he didn't yell too much, and for ex, in the chorus of 21 Guns he kept it light, unlike other live versions like the one from Awesome As Fuck, just to name one.

They all sounded great

He was good. Nothing to worry about. He just forgot the first line of Welcome To Paradise

I’m happy to hear you had a good time and that it seems like he’s taking care of himself!

No

There's an audience recording on YouTube, if you're interested

Argentina was their own concert while Rock in Rio is a festival, that's why it was broadcasted

Outside the concert, I feel like my trip was like those movies where things go "wrong"   lol First, I couldn't make it to the airport, then we went to the wrong hotel  (there were a few rumors but the actual place was known a little too late) and by the end of the night on Sunday we were waiting to see them leaving the venue but they left in vans quite fast! I lived it as an adventure, though. Even if I was a little sad because of that, my goal was the show and I'm so lucky and thankful 

Also, a shoutout to my sister! She went with me and since she's not a fan, I enjoyed the show while she filmed everything she could for me

I SAW HIM

Kevin was the first there, watching right when Bastardos del Under started playing. Next thing I knew Billie was there too  and then Tré. I tried to film but my phone has the shittiest quality ever, so I just watched them instead of Billy, lol. They looked so relaxed enjoying the show, like they weren't about to play in the next hour! I thought seeing Mike too, but I couldn't really tell, so I guess if he was there he was hiding too well.

So many memories, such a beautiful green day

Longer recap:

I arrived to the line around 10 am, and I wonder in that moment where almost 5 years went. In 2017 they played in the exact same place, in a kind of close date. I couldn't stop thinking how time flies and how I had another chance (the 4th one) to see my favorite band again 900 miles away from my home. I arrived to Buenos Aires the wednesday - show was sunday - traveling from south of Chile with my longtime girlfriend, flying with no hiccups, to encounter our long lost friends in Argentina.

It was a fine wait in the line, a warm day. I lost contact of my people entering the stadium but it was fine. I was trying to enjoy the show for myself, besides to trying to record audio for posterity.

The opener was Bastardos del Under, a punk band from the local scene that was shared by Billie Joe in his Instagram few months ago, where its members were around 17-20 year olds. They were really great. Is a hard to grasp feeling that one night you are playing for 100 people in a bar, then another you are opening for one of the biggest bands of the planet in front of 20000+ people. The crowd was respectful, and Bastardos really nailed for what they are right now. I would shit my pants if something similar would happened to me.

After a while, Billy Idol comes into the stage, and it was a very pleasant surprise to me the fact I never, ever, ever expected to see that man live in my whole life. I knew Dancing with myself, and that was the opener. The man is old but still got what it takes to make a great show. I'm not a fan, but experiences like I'm not taking them for granted. After the death of Taylor Hawkins, I won't make that mistake again.

The sound of Idol and his band were a lot better than Green Day themselves, but I think the problem resided in the lacking of a more powerful PA more than their sound engineer liking to push too much the system.

Finally, Green Day entered the scene and the crowd went fucking nuts, as they always do. Living a big show in Argentina is an experience in its own. The intro mix of Blitzkrieg Bop, We will rock you and I love rock and roll is truly a great addition. It dresses the show with a sense of ceremony, something I missed since the Breakdown days. The setlist was the usual, and it makes me a bit sad in the matter that my goal of seeing/hearing other songs I haven't before did not advance much this time, but I knew it was the most possible scenario, so I don't cry about it.

Where I did cry was hearing "Don't wanna be an American Idiot" again. The tiny drops from my eyes didn't restrain. I did it in KYE in 2017, I did it again at this show. My body knows that this opportunities are gold, it just can't be stopped. The visuals, the pyro were finer than any of the other shows of GD I have been able to witness. The show was executed perfectly, but I did miss the spontaneous approach of the former shows.

The highlights to me was finally hearing Welcome To Paradise, Waiting in their original tunning, Wake Me Up full band and the Tre Cool solo. Probably not much people know that Tre didn't felt good enough to make those in shows. It shows how much his playing has improved, and it amazing to see that even after all these years of success, they are still hungry for more. 

After a while I did get lost in my head just realize that the show was ending. I just thanked my lucky stars to be able to see them and my Argentinian friends. 

I just hope the new album cycle brings them around this corner of the planet again. I'll be there if life let me do so. Good night.
