A kindred spirit, thank you!

So glad you guys got to go and had a great time, it’s an amazing tour.  So glad BJ is fully recovered.

What a show 🤩 Green Day in a stadium truly is a spectacle. They have a fantastic stage set up with great videos screens. I really liked the retrospective video that introduced the concert. The big inflatables were cool too. It's sensory overload. I didn't know where to look most of the time. If be drooling over Billie on the screen and then I'd realize oh shit he's right there on stage!

And Billie....oh my poor heart. He looked sooooo good in the RED SHIRT 🥵 The floof! The eyes! The smile :wub: and Kevin 😏 there were some great shots of Kevin and Jason. Billie was so dorky and funny! Shaking his hips, pouting at the camera, giggling, and rocking different hats. He's so stinking cute! And he sounded great. Fully recovered.

It was wild hearing both of these albums live in full. It really took me back to when I got into Green Day. I still remember picking up American Idiot at Circuit City and falling in love with them. I picked up Dookie at Walmart with my allowance. I've been listening to this band for 20 years! And while I was screaming my lungs out in just thought I love this band so fucking much. 

I’m so glad you had a great experience and that Billie is all better! He certainly looked all better. :wub: It is such a surreal experience to hear these albums in full and be able to sing every single word and think back on how long your history goes back with this band. (And yes, it’s also overwhelming to know where to look lol).

I've seen things on Reddit regarding an event shop where you can order shirts and items for the show you went to. Does anyone know how to get a link for the Chicago show?

Whaaaat I went in entrance 10 and there were maybe 5 people in line  

I suppose it depended on when you arrived. Every stand we saw had a huge line and the guy sitting next to me said it took him 1.5 hrs to get through the line!  I wasn’t willing to wait. 🤣

I got to Wrigley about an hour before Green Day started (I heard SP play Cherub Rock - that was nice :D) and it took about 40 minutes to get through the line. Maybe everyone already got their merch by then. Happy I was able to get the poster and make it to my seat in time!

From other shows it looks like there was a QR code on the big screens at the end of the night to use to get merch and pics from the show. 

Found it:

Can I just say, Chicago seems like a pretty special place for Green Day? Think about it....

There's Jaded in Chicago. 

We kicked off the 99 Revolutions tour after Billie's stint in rehab.

We got intimate shows at Aragon and the Metro.

Billie had to call out sick, but what was his first show after he got better? Chicago :ga:

Not to mention Billie said Wrigley is one of his fave stadiums AND we are responsible for the memorable shart story. 

So clearly....Green Day needs to post up in Chicago. We're a magical city for them. They love us. Just saying....

Shart story?

Haven't reached the shart story yet, but does anyone know what on earth the prednisone comment is about? (minute 3:38). For context, there is no context to it. 😅

EDIT: And it comes back again at minute 11:36. Maybe if I keep watching I'll find the answers that I seek 😂

If I remember right Billie had posted an Instagram story where he was taking Prednisone

Thanks! I was reading a paper about prednisone just this morning, so the mention of it tickled me. And well this sent me down a rabbit hole that ended up bringing me back to GDC to discover Billie Joe has asthma 😅 I can move on now 😂

Even though it's a silly-looking patch....I can't resist show specific merch. Their store always sucks me back in :angry:

He’s so right about prednisone, it’s a trip. Either it clears your skin and makes you clean your entire house in an hour or it blurs your vision to the point where you’re completely useless. Fun times.

I theorized whether during that press conference Billie and Mike were playing a game between them to see who could randomly drop the word Prednisone into the interview the most times.  The way they looked at each other when they did that it sure seemed like a private joke.  I could see them doing that just to make the radio promo more fun for themselves

No spoilers please haha. I stopped it after the second mention of prednisone to go an fall into the aforementioned rabbit hole 😂 and I haven't watched the rest of it yet.

For the possibility that someone here who was at the show is a fan of The Linda Lindas, does anyone know if they played their song “Nino” in their opening set?

I was at the show and looked up the song you’re talking about and am pretty sure they played it.  They definitely had a guy dancing around in a cat mask on stage at one point lol.

I live in Salt Lake City and came to this show because Chicago is awesome. Green Day for life!!!! I really wish they would play Fancy Sauce and can’t stop listening to Saviors.
