Green Day Play At Reading Festival


Jaymee!!

Recommended Posts

Ya I understand that they would be tired, I forgot about the jet lag I thought they were hungover! Billies voice wasn't fully there but still a good show, a Green Day is always a good show. Ya I saw the picture, he'll sort it out I'm sure.

Someone was waving a wellington as well! And the fans were going insane at the camera and some looked like they were about the pass out! A funny show to watch that's for sure! :lol:

My friend thought they were drunk/hungover too so you're not the only one.

The same friend thought someone was going though the crowd upside down, until I pointed out the wellies were on the persons hands! :lol: But yeah, a good laugh!

Fucking love the video of Stay the Night. the whole performance seemed to be epic. Some of my friends are at Reading. I still need to find out if they got to see Green day. They were hyped for them. :)

If I play my cards right I should have an HD download / YouTube video up of the set soon....

are you trying to get what was shown last night? or have they shown more? I tried uploading what I recorded from sky to my fb as one file but if failed. think I went for too high quality.

Green Day are still being rotated on the BBC3 red button, just in case you want to watch it on big plasma TV ;) again, and again. :)

I absolutely love "Stay the Night!" I can't wait to hear it on their US tour. They are definitely firing on all cylinders (of course when weren't they?!) and most importantly look like they're really enjoying themselves. I can't wait to have the studio versions of these new songs!

I can't find anywhere to upload the original file for free, it's too big.

If anyone has any suggestions I'll try uploading it. It's 1.6Gb

I'm trying to rip the one off the BBC site that includes Stay The Night. Does the one you have include it?

Does it include Stay the Night this time? Or is that only on the website?

For any UK peeps, the red button on BBC3 is showing that they're up next after Bullet For My Valentine on screen #2. Difficult clash between them and Gaslight Anthem though!

So i was watching the live performance of Stay The Night from Reading, and I noticed that the backup vocals were incredibly overpowering Billie in the chorus. The thing was I know it was not Mike, I think it was Jeff Matika. But it was really annoying because his vocals were way over powering and it covered Billie's vocals at some points. Did anyone else feel that way?

I can't say it bothered me. It's not like festivals are renowned for the phenomenal sound reproduction though.

I actually loved it! Jason Freese and Jeff Matika both have fucking incredible back-up vocal capabilities. As a vocalist, I love to hear powerful harmonies. I also think that they were a bit louder than they should have been though. When I saw them at the Echoplex in LA a few weeks ago, they were very well balanced. That's an issue with the sound guy...not the band. As a vocalist, you sing however you have to sing to get the job done. And you have no idea how the mix sounds to the crowd, since the monitor mix is often VERY different based on personal preference. So yeah, a different sound guy would solve that problem. But again...LOVE to hear strong back-ups!

^What he said. If the backing vocals are too strong, lead vocals too low, guitar/drums/bass lost in the mix, etc., it's not the musician's fault. It's the techie 99.5% of the time. I've seen plenty of smaller bands at local shows look like they wanted to murder the sound guy because he had the mix messed up. GD was almost certainly using Reading's tech guys, so that would do it.

Oh, I guess I should also merge this into the existing Reading thread.
