Thatsername Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 2 hours ago, WalrusGumboot said: I sincerely do not understand this crazy desire most of you have for yet another live album/film. They are playing relatively the same exact setlist that they've been playing for years. Why on earth would they release ANOTHER album of the same live songs? That makes no sense. You also realize that it's not commercially viable to release a live record now, right? Who are they planning to sell it to? Just their "hardcore fans" or whatever? Your average joe is not going to go out and purchase or stream a live Green Day album. I disagree. A live DVD doesn't mean they are printing a whole setlist of a tour on a disc. Look at Awesome as Fuck, it has 18 songs from a setlist with an average of 30 songs back then. Bullet in a Bible has 14. So a live DVD is a collection of highlights of a tour. During the RevRad tour we heard at least 6 RevRad songs that have never been on any live footage before. Plus, songs like Letterbomb are neither on AAF nor on BIAB (which is a shame because it's one of the best live songs for me). Same with Knowledge, which is always a highlight for me because taking fans on stage is the heart and soul of a Green Day show. So I think there is a lot of great material from this tour that would be damn worth a live DVD. Plus, the boys are more on fire than ever - way better than during the AI era if you ask me. Considering all of this, a new live DVD after a whole proper world tour six years after the last concert movie IS a pretty good reason imo. I agree that a DVD probably wouldn't sell that great. But if they're not planning a live DVD, they should give us some footage on Youtube or whatever. It just makes no sense to give us neither the one nor the other option. We deserve more. Green Day deserves more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From television performances and other promotional appearances they made when the album came out? I'm not trying to be a dick, but it just doesn't make sense to me. None of us are entitled to anything. We don't "deserve" anything. I have been a fan of this band for over 20 years. In all of that time, I have never seen people make such a big deal out of the smallest things. I wish! I don't think we're entitled to anything at all, I think it's mostly frustration that they're not promoting themselves more by releasing live footage (the live DVD talk is stemming from trying to think of reasons why they're not.) The Bohemian Rhapsody singalong went viral so I guess we're just thinking of the impact a real piece of pro-shot gig footage could make. Of course we don't have to get anything, but we want it because it's our band and, like pacejunkie punk said, we naturally want to see them do well. Especially when other bands of similar stature are playing around with ways of providing gig footage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In all of that time, I have never seen people make such a big deal out of the smallest things. For me personally, I have gone to three shows this tour and would STILL love to see them release a live DVD of some sort. There is pro-shot footage of every new song, yes, but I would really love to relive a true concert experience again through video. Like with BIAB and AAF, it was like you were at the show, and it was great. I still find clips from the shows I was at to relive the experiences I had that night. I also can sense some frustration given that many other big bands (Metallica for example) release a lot more live footage than Green Day, so to me, I begin to think "if it is so easy for them to release all that live footage, why can't Green Day?" I don't think anyone here really thinks we deserve a concert DVD, it is just stems from the frustration that I mentioned earlier. As the tour comes to an end, a concert DVD is the next thing we can hope for in terms of release, because I assume if they were to release a DVD, it would come out before a new album.

RedundantIdiot Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I don't expect GD to do a live DVD, but as the Rev Rad era is the 1st era in which I have been a fan of GD it would be a pleasant surprise to have some form of live footage (even footage uploaded onto YouTube) that I can look back on in years to come. This era has meant a lot to me and I'd appreciate something I can watch again and again to relive this exciting era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until there is a casting announcement, assume nothing. It could be stuck in endless rewrites and never move forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 This may be a bit misleading since all the stadium and bigger shows were in the summer so the second half may gross more than the first? Interesting to see how they stack up against other rock arena acts though. https://www.ultimate-guitar.com/articles/features/these_are_15_top_grossing_rock_tours_mid-year_2017-68189 7. Green Day - $38.1 Million Billie Joe Armstrong fronted band is currently on a tour which kicked off in September last year and will have around 120 shows until its wrapping up in November 2017. With 36 shows in total in the first half of this year and average of 12,656 people in the crowd per show, he climbed up to 7th position on this list with $38.1 million.

DookieLukie Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Interesting how the leading acts (which lead by a lot) are all "older" bands that generally attract an older crowd. Middle-aged people dish out more money and go to more shows it seems, which makes sense logically. Also, those top bands have ticket prices that average over $100 just for crummy seats. I got right next to the stage for $65 for Green Day. People forget that tour gross isn't necessarily attendance-dependent; higher ticket prices = higher gross. Anyway, so many factors play into these rankings. U2 and GNR are playing football stadiums and Green Day was generally playing mid-level venues during the first leg of their tour. RHCP played 17 more gigs in the first half of 2017 than GD and made $17 million more. I give props to U2 for selling out 60k+ arenas, but boy I've never met someone who likes U2. Of course, I'd see them live if their prices weren't so high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumFan Posted October 21, 2017 Share Posted October 21, 2017 Actually, that's precisely what prevented me from going to see bands like GnR, Rolling Stones, Kings of Leon (though I don't even really like them) etc. at my local stadium. The ticket prices were just too horrendously high each time. For example: I think a propper standing ticket anywhere near close to the stage for GnR cost something like 600+ Dollars (about equivalent to my local currency: swiss francs). So yeah, going to see Green Day was a bargain each time. And people like to say Green Day are sellouts... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to see the Rolling Stones because I love them and just wanted to see them, but I went to Austria because the cheapest tickets there were 100€ while the cheapest tickets for all the shows in Germany were at least 200€ And they have a diamond circle and a golden circle, I don't even want to imagine the prices there, so no chance to come close to them with a standard ticket. So no, we can definitely not complain about ticket prices at GD shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, that's going to put concert going way out of lots of folks reach, especially if you need to travel and stay over somewhere, there is no way kids could afford that, shame.

I really admire that they work to keep their ticket prices reasonable, and it really shows in their crowds I think. What possible motive do GnR, U2 etc have for charging what they do other than to make as much as possible from each tour, they can't possibly need more money as individuals? I get a tour is an expensive thing to organise and have no problem with everyone making money but there is a point where these bands are just taking the piss imho.

MillenniumFan Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I’m almost certain after doing this tour, even though they did profit from it, they’ll probably sit down with management and talk about refreshing their live act, because these numbers are still depressing. You can rationalise it all you want, but this is Green Day and they should be able to sell out an arena / small-medium amphitheatre! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
