I remember having a conversation with the staff at Mountain Warehouse in Falmouth about whether a wizard-themed tent for kids would be suitable for camping on a snowy street in Poland (it wasn't and they were worried I was going to die). Fortunately no-one camped overnight. I got there about 6:30AM and was 15th in the queue. There were fans from Finland, Ukraine and all over Poland there. A girl from Warsaw said the ticket and travel costs were an entire month’s wages to her, but it was her first chance to see Green Day and she knew it would be worth it. People gave out "bang" signs in the queue and everyone held them up during Bang Bang. Billie took one of the photographers' cameras to film them. Scattered was the highlight for me. Such a shame they didn't keep playing it.

Popular Post solongfromthestars Posted January 22 Author Popular Post Share Posted January 22 On this day 8 years ago (22 January 2017), Green Day played the Tipsport Arena in Prague, Czech Republic on the Revolution Radio Tour. 8 whole years since I missed the Polskibus so I took an Uber from Krakow to Prague (335 miles) to make sure I didn't miss Green Day. The long story I wrote back then: Spoiler I’d heard that Uber was cheaper than regular taxis, but I didn’t even really know what it was. When I found out it was an app, I frantically deleted music and photos on my phone to make room for it. It gave me an estimate of 600zł-800zł, about £130-£170. We had that. It was obviously more than we’d usually spend considering the Polskibus was £11, but it was insanely cheap for what it was (I just checked Uber’s calculator and I guess they got wise to people stupid enough to call an Uber for that, because it told me almost double). So I did it: I called an Uber to take me from Kraków to Prague. He arrived within a few minutes, a polite and well-spoken young man called Michał, and asked with a smile where we wanted to go. My mum glanced at me and took a deep breath. ‘Well, we need to get to Prague.’ He apologised for his English – which was perfect, I’m sure he just thought we couldn’t possibly be that stupid – and asked her to repeat it. Now he understood, stared at us blankly for a moment and laughed. ‘Praga? Nooo.’ My mum tried to explain what happened and he listened patiently as it sunk in that we were seriously asking him this. ‘Wait. How far is it? 500 kilometres? How much will it cost? Maybe we can do it.’ All three of us struggled to get an Internet connection out there, but I told him what the Uber app estimated and he said that would be fine. He just had to go to his dad’s house to get money for petrol. He reckoned we could get there by 5pm. We told him it didn’t matter as long as we were in time for Green Day. So, here we were, heading out in an Uber to Prague. It turned out Michał had lived and worked less than ten miles from us in England and his mum still lived there. We passed a bridge that we all thought looked like a bridge in Mansfield. This was his second day working for Uber after moving back. Yes, you read that right, it was his second day working for Uber and two English girls asked him to take them 539km/335 miles to Prague. He was extremely professional and nice about the whole thing, though. The Interrupters were finishing as we arrived. As much as I’d loved all their sets, I was not going to complain that we’d missed them. Thanks to Michał, the best and most patient Uber driver in the world, we’d made it in time for Green Day. We were as far back as it's possible to be, but my mum and I had so much fun dancing together there. I still felt that same connection to the band and every word Billie sang. Seeing the full stage with the crowd all around us took me back to my first seated shows that had changed my life so. Around us were people who didn’t know the band well but still watched in awe, and others who knew everything and sang and danced like we did. It was 100% worth getting an Uber all the way from Kraków. I regret nothing.

They played four songs outside before the game, and played Basket Case and American Idiot during an intermission inside the arena. That's a really nice shot. More photos: Spoiler 8 years ago (25 January 2017), Green Day played the Spektrum in Oslo, Norway on the Revolution Radio Tour. ^ I actually got a decent phone photo! These were alright, too: Anyway, this was one of my favourite shows I remember running in and seeing a completely empty barrier for the first time ever. I was in Jason's corner of the catwalk which was the best spot I'd ever had. Billie kept saying ‘tusen takk’ (thank you very much) and ‘jeg elsker deg’ (‘I love you’). I caught a pick he threw to me for the first time and put it on a necklace. I don't really care about setlists (unless they play Rock 'n' Roll All Nite or whatever it's called... THEN I will finally complain) and so it can be hard to explain why some shows are so special, but they're just magical somehow.

More photos: Spoiler 20 years ago (27 January 2005), Green Day played Nottingham Arena in Nottingham, England on the American Idiot Tour. I actually remember the Green Day poster being up on the wall (it was this picture). I grew up within walking distance of Nottingham Arena so I saw it every time I went into town. Sadly I had no idea who Green Day were until about two years later. It’s surreal to think of them playing so close to home. When people ask what show you'd go to if you had a time machine, I usually mention one of the trilogy era club shows, but actually, it'd be this one even though there was nothing special about it.

There's definitely demand for it because when I saw Sum 41 there last year, their pre-show playlist included All the Time, American Idiot and Basket Case, and everyone went mad (which also means they could safely play All the Time). It's right in the middle of England, easily reached from London and Birmingham. There's an airport. Come on, lads! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More photos: Spoiler 32 years ago (29 January 1993), Green Day played The Alternative Record Store and later the Brass Mug in Tampa, FL. "Life can be full of coincidences. Circa 1993 I was playing in a punk trio called Dogs On Ice in Tampa, Florida. We had some minor local success and even signed to a small label out of San Francisco run by Jello Biafra's graphic artist [Winston Smith]. We were doing as good as any local band could hope to do, but thought that maybe we would get a big break after learning we were going to open for our punk idols - Green Day. The show was scheduled at a scrappy hole in the wall called The Brass Mug - sort of the CBGB's of Tampa. I remember the evening vividly. Green Day had not been signed by Reprise yet, but were doing great on Lookout Records. As we pulled into the club in our oxidized blue Ford Econoline, a rougher, more road worn van pulled into a space close to ours. It was them - yes, Green Day, all the way from the notorious punk rock mecca - 924 Gilman Street. The band we listened to constantly and read so much about in the pages of our bible, the 'zine Maximum Rocknroll. We greeted them, and they seemed bigger than life. Tre Cool asked if any 5-0's were rolling because he had to 'take care of some business,' and Mike Dirnt asked our bass player for a string, which he provided. The Mug was filled beyond legal capacity that night - at least 400 in a place that regularly drew 40. We took the stage with anticipation and rocked a pretty good set to the enthusiastic crowd. We felt good. Then Green Day took the stage. They transformed the seedy club into a whirling vortex of energy. It didn't matter that the sound was crap or the ceiling was low. They played with such tightness and fervor that I knew great things would come to them. My opinion of my band admittedly dropped drastically when I witnessed a new musical paradigm first hand. Weeks later their Dookie album was released on Reprise. Dookie sold millions of records and proved to be the record that lead them to stardom. My band went the way of most: we broke up." — Joe Popp 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More photos: Spoiler 27 years ago (30 January 1998), Green Day played Brixton Academy in London, England on the Nimrod Tour. More photos: Spoiler 29 years ago (30 January 1996), Green Day played the MBK Hall in Bangkok, Thailand on the Insomniac Tour. A Thai band called Barbies opened. Impatient fans chanted Green Day's name throughout their set. They started throwing chairs, water bottles and shoes. When Barbies' set ended, a staff member announced that the MBK Hall was well over capacity and that fans shouldn't jump because the floor might cave in. The MBK Hall was located in a mall – which is still there today – and it seemed that might have been why the shops below shut early. Of course, once Green Day took the stage, the fans did jump. They felt the floor sagging beneath their feet. Fights broke out and people hit each other with chairs. The floor never actually gave way, but someone without a ticket did hit a security guard with a beer bottle until his skull cracked, then broke the door down. Some fans said it was the best show they'd ever seen. Some said it was the worst. However, almost everyone in MBK Hall that day will agree that they wondered if they were going to die that night. More photos: Spoiler When I went to the Animate shop in that mall I was like "I swear Green Day have played this place" but there's no sign of it ever having held concerts now, so I thought I was wrong, but yeah. The floor doesn't sag anymore, although I suppose I didn't try jumping up and down 32 years ago (30 January 1993), Green Day played The Nite Owl in Pensacola, FL. -------------------- 31 January 2025 On this day 8 years ago (31 January 2017), Green Day played the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam, Netherlands on the Revolution Radio Tour.

solongfromthestars Posted 8 hours ago Author Share Posted 8 hours ago Today (2 February 2025), Green Day attended the Grammy Awards. They were nominated for Best Rock Performance (The American Dream Is Killing Me), Best Rock Song (Dilemma) and Best Rock Album (Saviors), but sadly didn't win any of them. More photos: Spoiler 2 years ago (2 February 2023), The Coverups played Retro Junkie in Walnut Creek, CA. More photos: Spoiler Credit: Alan Snodgrass/Digital Diversion 8 years ago (2 February 2017), Green Day played the Forest National in Brussels, Belgium on the Revolution Radio Tour. I really wasn't supposed to go to this show I saw a friend selling a ticket and impulsively decided to go. I took my luggage with me to uni because I'd be getting the bus all the way from Cornwall to Brussels as soon as my last class ended. I had a group review that morning (where we all shared our photos and gave feedback) and I'd just started doing the My Rage My Love My Life documentary as my final project. Everyone already thought I was insane. Then one of my classmates asked when I was next seeing Green Day. I was like... 'actually, I’m getting the night bus to London to go to Brussels tonight. I just booked it in the library.’ The journey took about 24 hours and I don't think I slept at all until we arrived in Brussels (because I'd convinced @Rumpelstiltskin2000 to join me, of course). Then my alarm went off at 5AM or whenever it was and we went to the venue. It was a warm, stress-free day. The venue actually honoured the number system. We got one of the best spots we'd ever had at the time, almost in the corner between Billie and Mike. I actually took a couple of decent phone pics: Here's the recap I wrote back then: 'When Green Day came on, one of the guys we queued with was the first fan on stage. Billie snatched his Danish flag and displayed a Belgian one instead (all in good fun, of course). I’m not someone who really cares about the setlist. I wouldn’t go to so many shows if I found it dull. But when Billie began playing the intro to Troubled Times, the crowd clapping along, I must have deafened the people around me. They’d played it at the previous show in Amsterdam, but I didn’t think they’d ever play it again. It was so powerful live and I will never forget hearing it in a foreign country after impulsively making a 24 hour bus journey from Cornwall. In Longview, the girl Billie pulled up to sing attached herself to Tré and he had to tell her "you’re here to sing, not make out with Tré Cool!" Before playing Scattered, Billie announced "it’s Aimee from The Interrupters’ birthday today" before beginning a song it took me a few seconds to recognise. Then I turned to my mum and screamed "it’s Amy!"' More photos: Spoiler 20 years ago (2 February 2005), Green Day performed Holiday on Top of the Pops. Later that day, they played the Plymouth Pavilions in Plymouth, England on the American Idiot Tour. So they played Nottingham, where I'm from, and Plymouth, which is insanely close to where I went to uni, considering that no bands ever go to Cornwall. COME BAAAACK! And do a proper UK tour! 24 years ago (2 February 2001), Green Day performed Warning on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Another photo: Spoiler 29 years ago (2 February 1996), Green Day played the Convention Centre in Jakarta, Indonesia on the Insomniac Tour. This show was one of the biggest moments in the Indonesian punk scene at the time. The 6,000-capacity venue was over capacity, and kids who couldn’t afford pit tickets were jumping down from the balcony. It was already so packed that people were getting injured – even members of the support act had to step outside for air – when outside, fans who couldn’t afford tickets at all began to break the door down. The security staff couldn’t cope and several people were hospitalised after the show. News outlets and some Indonesian punks were baffled that anyone felt Green Day were worthy of such fuss, but clearly they were! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
