I wouldn't mind (actually I'd probably go crazy :lol:) if they did that at the show I'm going to, I've been lucky to see some of their classics a few times now and hearing RevRad front to back would just be killer.
 

Major girlfriend points there!

I don't like when bands play full albums because it takes away from the surprise element of the show but I love the album so hearing it live wouldn't suck.

I agree. I hope they at least play more of the songs, they haven't played that many so far. I'd be really surprised if they decided to play the whole thing now.

When/where did they play it live? Is there a video of it?

They did at the New York Rough Trade show. It's their sole live performance of the song until now.

I wasn't feeling this song (Somewhere Now), I actually kinda wanted to skip the song when I put the album, but after I watched that live video, oh man, I'm enjoying it so much!

It's gonna be a great live act, particualrly when paired with Forever Now.

I only now discovered a live album titled Bowling Bowling Bowling Parking in 1996. It's bloody good.

Guess who finally received their copy of RevRad and is now late to the fandom party. :P I really enjoyed the album, more than I thought I would, and I already had high expectations.

Fashionably late.;)

We found the best way was to log into IN & leave a message on the board - that's how we ended up getting our emails with the codes.  Good luck.

thanks for the help but i just got an email from them and it works now :P

Just saw a revrad style poster, for Green Day headlining the BST festival, at a bus stop a 5 minute walk from my flat.  Made me very excited to see something so close to home!

What a cool performance! I can't believe I'm surprised by how strong Billie's voice sounds. :D 

I'm a bit irritated by all the phones in the first rows tbh. Just take a picture and be done with it. Sorry I sound old, but as sweet as it is in theory, if I saw people in front of me filming the entire thing or facetiming with their friends and holding up their phones all the time, I would be really annoyed and bitter about it. I think Billie is too. 

On another note, I wonder if those security guards ever feel extremely awkward when Billie gives his heartfelt speeches during shows or when fans in the first row scream in their faces. :lol:

Do you also know "Fout in Mouth"? Also from 1996, I think it's the same tour.

It is so awesome! What irritates me about it is the fact that there most likely is unreleased video material from that time. The footage at the beginning of Broadway Idiot is from the same show a part of BBBPP was recorded at. How cool would it be to see the whole thing :happy:

I really do wish they would play more of those songs. Outlaws, BOTF, Say Goodbye and Troubled Times would all fit just fine into their standard setlist.

I popped into a record store while waiting for my bus to see if they have RevRad - at first I was a bit disappointed they didn't have a single copy on display in the shop windows, but they redeemed themselves right when I walked in by playing 8th Avenue Serenade! Definitely unexpected. I soon realized that they're actually playing the whole of ¡Tré! and stayed wandering around the shop way longer than I should have :D I also found lots of copies of RevRad after a while and saw that they have a beautiful picture of the boys on their little "new releases of the month" leaflet, so all good :P Made my day better.

I do and I absolutely love it. I think these are actually better than BIAB and AAF because they sound rawer. The latest live albums are much more polished in comparison.

It gives me the warm and fuzzies that there are fans who are so new that they're still learning all the lyrics to Jesus of Suburbia. I still remember being like :huh: and thinking I could never learn such a long song by heart the first time I actually read the lyrics and realised it was actually one song.

I'm on a rail replacement bus that's full of schoolkids and I think I'm experiencing feeling like a cello lost somewhere over the rainbow.

:lol:

Last week I listened to an interview with a frontman of one local band and the guy and the presenter started talking about a Green Day show the musician had been to because they played Bang Bang during the interview. To my surprise, he was impressed by KFAD. 20 minutes of kfad and the covers were the absolute highlight of the show according to him. The man couldn't shut up about how well it worked with the crowd and how well thought out the part of the show was. It actually made me excited to see it live.

Are you ever, like, not on a bus?

I wonder how different I might be if Green Day was around when I was in high school instead of the year I got married?

So I just saw Fight Club for the first time today and it was amazing but it totally reminded me of American Idiot. Billie Joe did you rip off Fight Club? Haha
