JellyTime Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 August 30th 2012, Berlin. I was in first row in front of Billie and I still have no idea, how I did that I was so excited that now I remember only single scenes from the show. All memories are blurred like beautiful dream, that I had year ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joey Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 11 years ago next month. July 18th 2002 at Wembley Arena. (Shit I feel old now), and I can't describe how amazing that show was. I remember it so vividly. The highlights for me were Tre coming out to play All By Myself and DLS, seeing as it's pretty rare and all. Also getting to hear Platypus performed live, as well as Macy's Day Parade. Still in the top 3 GD shows I've been to, and I've seen them 14 times now. I went to the show the day before, also at Wembley, also my first GD show. Was fun - I remember spraying my hair blue for it. Still got the t-shirt I bought somewhere too.

glorytale_ Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 11.12.2009. I will always remember that day. I was 17 yrs old and I was freaking excited! Unfortunately I was afraid to go through the crowd.. so I decided to take a seat.. but I do not regret it.. I knew that I would have had the chance to see them again in the future.. I cried during the whole concert.. amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipi Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 October 11, 2009. The Globe, Sweden. The best day of my life. I was 16 and coming from Finland with my best friends. I've seen them 5 times now (even heard Dominated Love Slave live at Wembley Stadium) but the first time was the best day ever. Just seeing them for the first time in my life and getting that feeling... I cannot even describe it. It was the best thing ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billie Hoe Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 The first time I saw them live was in London, on 1st June 2013. I'm from Germany actually so I spent alot of money for my trip to London But it was totally worth it. I wanted to see them live in 2010 when they came for two or three extra concerts to Germany but I was 15 at the time and I had nobody to come with me, so yeah, my mother forbid. grr. The feeling when I saw them live, oh gosh. I saw my heroes for the first time in my life and all I could think was "they are real people, oh my god this is so awesome". First I was a bit scared because there were alot of mosh pits where I was standing and I thought I'd trip and die, haha. But then I accidentally got into one and it was really fun I fought my way from mosh pit to mosh pit further to the front. It was just the best day of my life and I can't believe it's almost one month ago already. It wasn't just my first Green Day concert, it was also my first rock concert. But I was singing and jumping and screaming and dancing and i had the time of my life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 The first time I saw them live was this year in Chicago and it was the best thing. I can't tell how happy I was from start to finish. Even just thinking about it now makes me smile. They sounded great, they were having so much, and I saw them with my own eyes finally! I waited almost ten years to see them and I still can't believe I did. I wasn't one of the very lucky who was in the pit and got pulled on stage and I didn't see them after the show, but I saw them nonetheless. All I know is I want to see them as many times as I can now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marina: Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 28th September 2009 in Lisbon, got to the second row and by the third song or so I was already covered in sweat Such an awesome feeling when the guys are playing... It's like nothing else is going on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asa. Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 March 29,2013. I tried to make it to 2 shows in 2010, but my mom thought I'd get killed in the pit (I wouldn't accept seats, I was a little bastard). The second I saw all of them I couldn't believe my eyes, they seem so much larger than life (despite the fact that they're fairly short) and it was like the most religious experience I've ever had. It was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 It was at the first night at the O2 Arena in London in ROCKtober 2009. Met about 30 GDCers which was fabulous (as well as sleeping over in a house full of them afterwards which was also fun!). Saw the show on the barrier on Mike's side, far over to the side so it wasn't that lively but an excellent place to observe my first show without missing anything. Had the pleasure of watching it with my sister and the lovely J'net who was so lovely she turned and gave me Mike's pick when a security guard handed it to her, and got to sing along to American Idiot with Tony himself . I'd wanted to see a "traditional" Green Day show with all my favourite on stage traditions and I wasn't disappointed, it was magical. So surreal actually seeing them there in front of me in flesh and blood . And the cool thing is now having been to more shows I know in future I'll always choose to be in the middle of the mosh pit action rather than on the barrier but far over in the relative quiet, so it's always going to be a totally unique show experience for me to remember.

stuffismessedup Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 It was October 8, 2005 at the Home Depot Center and i was only 11 years old. i remember my dad buying the tickets in may and i counted down the days on a whiteboard. then when the day finally arrived i was so excited and i can remember getting there in time to see Jimmy Eat World and i remember singing along to the middle and im pretty sure the ladies in front of us were drunk by the way they were dancing and such. but then i remember when Also Sprach Zarathustra started my knees were shaking because of how excited i was. and then i remember the people leaving before the encore and the only song i can remember somewhat clearly from that show was Maria which is pretty cool. and yeah great experience and in the parking lot after the show i got handed American Idiot cell phone stickers which i still have.

djrossstar Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Yes, I played Knowledge on 10/08/2005 at Home Depot Center. I also sang Blitzkrieg Bop on stage when BJA formed a band on 10/06/2000 in Boston and had us perform it instead of Knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certified Nimrod Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I saw them for the first time on April 3rd in Philly. The show was fantastic, and the fact that they played a little of everything made it a great first show for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrot Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 at the mellon arena, wedsenday july 22 2009 in pittsburgh. it was great, barely remeber though, i was in 4th grade. they played a lot of great songs like J.A.R., At The Library, and Drama Queen (for the first time publicly!) Billie Joe stop in the middle of She and broke up a fight between 2 guys. I remember him saying "Punching little girls is not a sport." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
