I am keeping my expectations low and I am just excited to see a Green Day performance. I don't think there's any reason to be anxious for this performance. My only hope is that people won't hate on them if the performance doesn't meet people's expectations.

The expectations seems crazy. I’m in a discord for a political podcast and people seem to think Green Day will really put the fire to the Trump admin and I’ve had friends tell me the same. I just don’t see it. I love the band (obviously, I mean, I’m on here 😂) but besides changing a lyric in AI and/or Holiday I don’t see the rebellion that I think a lot of people are expecting from this band.

I really hope we can see/hear this done how at some point!

They have hit the mark hard and definitely have been heard in the past but they’ve been a little tone deaf on what it’s like to actually live as a poor or marginalized group. They are not poor and have been protected by wealth and yes people around them and people that don’t know any better either. There’s no way to avoid it with the way they are and always surrounded by the same people and sheltered/protected lifestyle. There’s no point in risking too much or needing to lawyer-up for anything. Costs too much. They are a great band and they do a lot more than most. However, they do have filters and they do seem to keep their guards up. I doubt anything super groundbreaking or shattering will happen with the Super Bowl performance. They’ll do a great job and continue with their normal routine. From a semi-casual fan something big might be expected to shake up political and entertainment media. As a seasoned fan, I’m not expecting anything too much. A great performance and not much more.

The episodes are all on their YouTube channel

Likely. I knew someone who was invited to be on the field for a Super Bowl halftime show. They had very specific instructions about where to stand, when to move and what to do. If the Green Day show is being televised, I can't imagine the NFL wanting anything less than total control. And by total control, I mean total. They made Flea pre-record his parts and play unplugged for RHCP's halftime show because they didn't want any chance of anything being fucked up. Basically the only music actually being performed live at most Super Bowl performances is the drums and the lead vocal.
