The full show! Ultra Q's set is on their channel, as well.

Garbage opinion, both of those songs are nice.

Hot take: Retire Good Riddance as the closer. Close each show with "Fancy Sauce."

Now number one on the Billboard Rock & Alternative Airplay

I'm giving away 6x4 prints from the Coverups and Longshot shows I've photographed because they're cheap and it's Ramadan. If you want some, send me a message letting me know which ones (eg. "C6, LS15") by 7 April. You'll also need to send me your name and address. Choose as many as you want – I do actually need to print at least 500 to get the best price. It doesn't matter if you already have some of my prints. They're great, so why not get more? If you want a bigger print, you're very welcome to ask, but I will have to ask you to pay for the print and postage. This is the price list: https://www.tescophoto.com/photo-prints Otherwise, I'm not expecting any payment, but if you really, really want to, you can donate the cost of your prints and postage to charity or buy me a coffee. And if you're not already following GDA on Instagram and Tumblr, go and do it.

Number one on the Alternative Radio chart: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5wmax2tJIv/?igsh=MW1idGp1MW55ZGoxMA==

Nope, nope. Enjoy Saviors everyone!

New new encore: Brutal Love and Fancy Sauce.

The red!!

Well, this is cool. https://www.npr.org/2024/04/16/1244804661/abba-green-day-national-recording-registry

I'm a sucker for the smile

AI and Dookie (plus Minority like they've been doing) give me all the "hits" I need. Now, I can see someone arguing that they don't want to hear albums in full because they want room in the set for more deep tracks like they tend to do at small shows, but to get to hear all of Saviors, plus deep tracks off of American Idiot, would satisfy me completely. The last argument I would expect to hear from a fan is that they didn't play enough "hits". They've played the hits enough times they don't ever need to play them again.

This feels too fangirly to say in the Instagram thread, but the way Billie looks at Jakob is so cute I can't not post it 🥹

I've started scheduling stories on the GDA Instagram that are throwbacks to gigs played on that day however many years ago. If I'm going to all that effort, I might as well post this stuff here as well. However! I'm only focusing on gigs (not album releases or anything) and I'm very likely to forget to post here anyway, so if you remember anything that happened on a certain day years ago (or if you feel like copy/pasting from the GDA Instagram), please contribute! Even stuff like music video releases and chart positions on certain days would be interesting to look back on. So, on this day (16 April) 19 years ago (2005), Green Day played in Orlando, FL. 11 years ago (2013), they played the Greek Theatre in Berkeley. And 9 years ago (2015), they played the House of Blues in Cleveland before their Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame induction. Yes, I did get the year wrong on Instagram. Enjoy looking back at what our favourite band have been up to!

Really hope they keep playing Fancy Sauce and hopefully add it officially to the setlist. Billie gets so into it!

Billboard update Alternative Airplay- 2, up from 3 Mainstream Rock Airplay- stays at 2 Rock and Alternative Airplay- stays at 1 Canada Rock- 1, up from 2

A wonderfully awkward little interview:

1981 does have more streams that the other non-singles though, probably just because it's the first non-single you hear on the album and maybe the fact that it was the first song we heard for the album (live) You can look for the streams each Green Day song and album is getting here Songs - https://kworb.net/spotify/artist/7oPftvlwr6VrsViSDV7fJY_songs.html Albums - https://kworb.net/spotify/artist/7oPftvlwr6VrsViSDV7fJY_albums.html There's a lot of interesting things to take from these figures. Saviors (the album) is getting 296k daily streams now, less daily streams than AI/Dookie/Nimrod/21CB/Insomniac but still much more than the last few studio albums, though in the coming months/years, that figure will continue to fall. I think Saviors will continue to perform better than FOAM and the trilogy in terms of streaming however. Revolution Radio has a lot of total streams, being their 5th most streamed studio album, but is gaining much less streams than all their studio albums from 1994-2009. Father of All has more streams than Dos & Tré but less than Uno. I wouldn't be surprised if Dos starts gaining streams at a faster rate than FOAM at some point. Stray Heart is gaining daily streams faster than any other trilogy song, even more than Oh Love which is the hit of that era and has the most total streams. Considering Oh Love can be heard on both Uno and God's Favorite Band, this is surprising. Last Night on Earth is gaining a lot of streams, currently no. 12 in terms of daily streams, even though it was never released as a single.

Sorry but the speculation should start when GD confirms a new album or being in a studio, IMO. No offense.

I sooooo wish the Saviors tour was all three albums in full 😭 Not to be greedy but I want to hear Saviors in full more than anything else

I just want us all to appreciate this picture:

Some pics from Getty Images (more to come) I think the boys must have won the Landmark Award Some more Sorry if I've duplicated anything. There's so many!

More Beach Boys than Backstreet Boys!

I’m missing Suzie Chapsticks that should be a staple

Full show: From the description: Here is the first of many rare and previously uncirculated Green Day tapes from Arica Pelino's archive. Huge thanks to Arica for bringing them over and handing them off to me last month. I am going to let Arica introduce this one: "this show has only been released on audio format prior to this. This video is being released in its entirety for the first time and includes RARE after-show footage with: Lint/Tim Armstrong Marshall Stax (on stage) Damon O'Manic Joel Wing Kaz Hope Anna Armstrong Filmed by: Arica Pelino Opening Bands: Blatz, Jack Acid, Alter Ego, Grimple" Transfer by: Shayne Stacy Equipment used: Panasonic AG-1980 — Datavideo TBC1000 – Tevion USB Adapter — Virtualdub Enhanced in Adobe Premiere Elements/Neat Video (lighting/denoise)

That was my first show 21st Century Breakdown Tour truly was magical.

Shame about Billie! But the other two would work well on either end of a shelf/display as a pair. The one time I bought an album bundle was to get those candles and once I had them I just had to make a Green Day shrine . They're my favourite piece of GD merch I never spent a lot on merch just got all albums on CD and bought or (more often) got gifted some random things over the years

I think a good idea for the Bobby Sox one would be to have, rather than Bobby Sox on the back, to have Girlfriend Boyfriend Best friend with a check box next to each one. I could see them being worn at Pride Parades.

Alternative Airplay- 3, up from 5 Mainstream Rock Airplay- stays at 2 Rock and Alternative Airplay- stays at 1 Canada Rock- stays at 2 Also, I noticed a couple weeks ago it hit #50 for hot rock and alternative songs. Edit: Ope, just noticed it's now #47 for Hot Rock and Alternative Songs.

I liked this one.

When there's non-stop coverage of the solar eclipse, and Roshambo comes on, and you think, you too?

Those were some of the best times I remember keeping up with the tour thread here on GDC every night and watching Billie get back into his groove with each show. It was so sweet how nervous he was during the US leg. I always resonate the Trilogy era with those happy times. from my show during Oh Love

I think it's likely just a joke, a funny play on the Cramps logo and a nod to being older.

Oh no. Please no, I'm not mentally ready for a speculation thread again.

The guy was presumptuous and incorrect saying "lol he's not getting emotional lol". Billie was cordial enough to say "it's fine" in his second comment. He doesn't need to apologise for calling out a stupid comment as stupid just because they guy apologised for making it. OMG I just watched Fancy Sauce from this and it was glorious! Really hope they'll play it on the tour

Okay this kind of outraged me: “One moment, Armstrong feigns shock, eyes wide and mouth agape; the next he bares his teeth in a crazed grin; at melodramatic moments, he even sheds mock tears, as he did at the climax of “Jesus of Suburbia.” It’s a tactic that’s silly, but undeniably charming. Armstrong’s star power comes partly from his unpredictability — no one quite knows what face he’ll show next” Is there anyone that really thinks that emotion is fake?! That’s an insult to the way he is always leaving it all out on the stage. No way he’s faking that. I think he got choked up during three songs last night and it was all 100% raw emotion

Avril looks so good! You know the drill. Fangirls Confessions thread. 😄

And did you hear what he said about the Fillmore show tomorrow? Saviors AND AI in full! Damn I wish I could’ve gotten a ticket

The interview is at 1:23:10!

I truly think he doesn’t know what to do with his arms when he doesn’t have the guitar.

So many good feels from that Anaheim show And Billie, of course, is looking soooooooooo cute. I don't know what it is about this version of blond Billie, but I love it! It suits him really well and he's looking mighty fine. Also, his hair was so floofy at the show it made his head look extremely big

Alternative Airplay- stays at 6 Mainstream Rock Airplay- stays at 2 Rock and Alternative Airplay- stays at 4 Canada Rock- 3, up from 4

Wonder how it’ll stack up against their 2012 Echoplex show, that one was pretty special.

I wonder how God feels about that. They are his favorite band after all.
