I took some nice pics, including one of Billie with a Brazilian flag he took from the audience - I'll try to dig them out Voilà! Also, a couple of Mike from that show: Spoiler And another one of Billie for good measure: Spoiler These are basically the only pics I took at that show that are not a blurry mess 😅 (to be fair I don't have many, I only took my camera out when they went on stage / first song, and during King for a Day... and then hurriedly when I saw Billie taking that flag, still not sure how I managed such a good shot of it). 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solongfromthestars Posted July 28 Author Share Posted July 28 On this day 15 years ago (28 July 2009), Green Day played a second night at Madison Square Garden on the 21st Century Breakdown Tour.

Thanks for sharing your photos! This project is a lot more fun when someone on here has been at one of the shows. I just looked at the setlist and saw they played (part of) Castaway and Drama Queen!

This project is a lot more fun when someone on here has been at one of the shows. I just looked at the setlist and saw they played (part of) Castaway and Drama Queen! Amazing. I can't believe that tour was 15 years ago either. Ah, and in the second night was when Billie took my flag. Unfortunately I did not take any pictures of that, and I was never able to find any high quality ones. But at the time I found either here or in the Idiot Club someone who managed to capture a video of it, and luckily he was very close to where I was, so he almost got it from my perspective. I still have that flag with me and it's full of sentimental value. 🥹 Some other pics I took that night (again only at the beginning and during KFAD): Spoiler The pink bunny was a lot cleaner back then: The stage was pretty cool: I love this one with Mike and the Green Day sign: Jason Freese: For the first night, if I remember correctly, Billie played the first verse of Castaway and stopped around the beginning the chorus. I was losing my shit, I love that song. I don't remember if he stopped because he couldn't remember the rest of the lyrics or because the band didn't remember that song... I have the feeling it was more the band that wasn't following along? But I might be mistaken, it was a long time ago. I have zero memory of them playing Drama Queen, but I trust whatever setlist.fm says. For the second night, if I remember correctly Billie played Macy's Day Parade acoustic towards the end (it was either that show or Venezuela the year after, but I'm almost sure it was this one because in Venezuela he played Whatsername), another moment where I was losing my shit. 🥹 I think the conclusion is that they should add more random songs from Warning every now and then to the set list 😂 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solongfromthestars Posted July 31 Author Share Posted July 31 I've been neglecting this thread again so I'll just post the ones I've got photos of from the days I missed. 2 years ago last Monday (29 July 2022), Green Day played the Metro in Chicago on the Hella Mega Tour. 3 years ago (29 July 2021), Green Day played in Houston, TX on the Hella Mega Tour. 15 years ago (29 July 2009), Green Day played in Washington DC on the 21st Century Breakdown Tour, which is a nice coincidence because they played DC again on that day this year. More photos: Spoiler 33 years ago (29 July 1991), Green Day played in Missoula, MT. "I saw Green Day above the Union Club in 1991, the year the band released 1,039/Smoothed Out Slappy Hours. Those pop-punk songs (an anthology of early tracks) captured a general disregard for adulthood and decorum that I related to, even if they were mostly vapid love songs about checking out cute girls in the library. Green Day wasn’t really edgy so much as they embodied the fun, carefree, middle-finger-flipping attitude I sometimes needed to balance out darker, more serious bands I liked, including the Nation of Ulysses and Fugazi (both of whom also played Missoula around the same time). And at the Green Day show there was a lot of joyful letting loose: sweaty 'slam dancing' and smiling kids ecstatic for a momentary escape." — Missoula Independent --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 30 years ago yesterday (30 July 1994), Green Day played in Allentown, PA on the Dookie Tour (setlist incomplete). 33 years ago yesterday (30 July 1991), Green Day played Inner World Gateway in Billings, MT. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- On this day 2 years ago (31 July 2022), Green Day played Lollapalooza on the Hella Mega Tour. More photos: Spoiler 3 years ago today (31 July 2021), Green Day played in Jacksonville, FL on the Hella Mega Tour. "Perhaps the highlight of being in the presence of Green Day was Billie Joe Armstrong’s insane ability to control an audience—the same way Freddie Mercury did. Yep, we just went there." — Josh Bradley, CL Tampa Bay 15 years ago (31 July 2009), Green Day played in Nashville, TN on the 21st Century Breakdown Tour. More photos: Spoiler 23 years ago (31 July 2001), Green Day played in Vancouver, Canada on the Warning Tour. 26 years ago (31 July 1998), Green Day played KNRK Big Stink on the Nimrod Tour. Using Comic Sans MS for a band name on a shirt is so low effort that I'm impressed. 30 years ago (31 July 1994), Green Day played The Sting in New Britain, CT on the Dookie Tour. "When I saw them, it was at a small (now sadly defunct) club in New Britain, CT called The Sting. Between the time we bought the tickets and the show was when they started to blow up at radio and MTV and all that. It was pretty funny, actually, because nobody at my school knew much about them when the tickets went on sale. But when the school year was coming to an end and the show was approaching, people were complaining that it was sold out. Me and my buddy that I went with loved that. All the trendy kids had to stay home." — schlitsz And there's the monthly roundup on GDA. https://www.greendayauthority.com/news/6173/ 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
