i know i said this in the random thoughts thread a while back but like, Green Day should pull a metallica and make every single concert in their archive available for streaming, downloading, hell id kill for live SBD All the Time on CD or vinyl

The public perception of Green Day has swung back and forth. three good albums / one bad / one good / one bad / two good / three bad / one good / one bad / one good There hasn't been a run of three well received albums since the first three. Will they release something much-maligned like Trilogy or Father of All again after Saviors? Or can they keep the momentum going with the next two albums that keep the fans happy AND the creative juices flowing? If we only count the trilogy as one bad era it would be 3 good/1 bad/1 good / 1 bad / 2 good / 1 bad / 1 good / 1 bad / 1 good. Of course, most of us on here love all the eras.

I tried to contribute to this but I couldn't finish my story on time... However, I wanna share it!! Well guys, my name is Ricardo and I'm a proud Green Day fan from Chile, since 2000. I went to the GD show in Santiago, Chile on August 30th. Although this was the shortest GD gig I've been, it was the perfect mix of my experiences lived from the first two shows I attended in Chile (2010 and 2017). Why do I say this? Well, in 2010 I was so hyped for my first time to watch Green Day live, 10 years waiting for that moment and the show BLEW MY MIND, almost 3 hours the band playing, so many classics and deep cuts like Geek Stink Breath, Nice Guys Finish Last, Stuck With Me, Paper Lanterns, Burnout, 2000 LYA, etc. However, I was alone. I met some people and we shared our expectations prior to the show. Then in 2017, the band played in the same place as 2010 (Bicentenario de la Florida Stadium, Santiago Chile) and I enjoyed it, too. However, I didn't feel the same impact I think. On the other hand, they played one of my favorite songs ever... WAITING. Also they played Knowledge. The best thing for me in that show it was I met some Internet friends from Chilean GD forurms and GD Chile fan club. I got some pictures with those friends. Finally, my third show, Saviors era... What can I say when the word "Special" is not enough to describe my feelings about how glad I was to be there? Now I'm 41, I've been a fan for 25 years and I had the chance to go to the show with one of my dearest cousins, Julio (or "Julín", as he likes to be named). I love him as a big brother, he's 43. Thanks to him, when I met Green Day music, he taught me about punk bands like Ramones and other punk bands from Chile and Argentina when we were teenagers. He is not a Green Day fan, but he loves Dookie album since that times. However, he wanted to go and listen to the band live for first time. He just knew Dookie tracks and some of the biggest hits like BOBD, Brain Stew, Holiday, American Idiot, Hitchin' a Ride, Minority, etc. The show was shorter but I was so happy to watch Green Day, they looked so inspired and enjoying to be there with all of us. When Bohemian Rhapsody started, it was a huge "sing along" moment, then my cousing enjoyed the Punk Bunny show with Ramones' Blitzkrieg Bop. Then, Green Day came out and we reacted with all the exciment , singing, jumping like we were teenagers again. When the show almost ended and Billie started to play Time of your life I cried like a little boy meanwhile I was trying to sing and hug my cousin, telling him: "Thank you Julín to be here, living this moment with me". He was telling the whole night and the day after how good the concert was, how good green day are live, and stuff like that. He got a great impression from the band. Also, the best moment of the show... HAUSHINKA!! GOD I WAS YELLING SO LOUD!! What a deep cut?! From my favorite album, NIMROD!! Splendid surprise from Green Day to all of us, the Chilean fans!! After the show, I met again with some friends (the same ones from 2017 show), and they took some photos. Then we had to leave, because my cousing had to be at his job in a restaurant. There was a The Doors tribute band playing there. However, before we left the Estadio Nacional, I wanted to give a souvenir to my cousin and bought something for me, too. So, I bought a T-shirt for him and a Hoodie for me. He wore that T-shirt with proudness. With no doubt, one of the best times of my life and being a Green Day fan!! I'm the guy with the blue jacket and next to me is my cousin.

Great stuff @solongfromthestars. I still haven’t had time to contribute properly but hope to!

Thank you so much @solongfromthestars for taking your time in organising and pulling together yet another amazing project. Loved reading everyone's journey with Green Day during this awesome tour. I could feel their excitement and joy from all over the world. Demonstrating not only is the band still performing amazing Iive performances, but the support and love from fans is as strong as ever.

Soundboard, like an official release or a TV broadcast

SBD?

Yeah me too. There's nothing like an SBD quality live show

I love these box sets, in particular for live tracks from previous live shows, I just can't help it, I'm so crazy about GD live there's nothing like it. I'm all for streaming music but live stuff is generally only available on record. Just listened to Blood, Sex and Booze (Live at Makuhari Messe, Tokyo, from March 2001). Released today. Holy shit that was awesome. Amazing quality. Like to close my eyes and pretend I'm there with all the fans. Can't wait for the box set to be released to hear rest of show. Thanks GD ❤️

Some good choices so far: Governator Don't Want To Know If You Are Lonely Suffocate Hybrid Moments Ha ha You're Dead Oops sorry my bad. Governator is from AI studio deluxe? So fifth choice - Black Eyeliner

1.) Do Da Da great poetry and melody love it. 2.) Dreamcatcher I’ve been in love with this song the second I heard of ever recorded properly on an album could be a hit IMO 3.) Olivia love the sound kinda has an Irish jig folksy flair to it. Hopefully one day it gets released. 4.) Suffocate this song is so catchy would have fit on Insomniac or Nimrod great melody. 5.) Don’t Wanna Fall in Love/Rotting both are awesome love the bleakness in them and Billie’s voice. Mid 90’s style.

Go home Reprise, you're drunk.

On 90 days (yes, I have no shame), one of the cast members said "the American dream is killing me".

yup... every time i get a chance to go see my favourite bands, they're always the most expensive thing ever lol add that to taking flights all the way across the other side of the world, because bands seem to hate australia plus i missed the last time green day came here so i just don't go now

Haven’t seen too many ranking posts on here lately (recently had to make a new account because I forgot my old login info) so I thought I’d start a new one! What are your top 5 Green Day B-Sides? Can be any original Green Day song not released on a studio album (Including only played live, but not including covers)! My Choices are: 5. Minnesota Girl - I live only 50 Miles from Minnesota and love it there. The melody is great and reminds me of ‘Razor Baby’. 4. Desensitized - Highly underrated song with an impeccable chorus. Would have been amazing on Nimrod! 3. Dreamcatcher - Was glad to hear on These Paper bullets but would love to hear a studio version someday. Highly unlikely, but you never know. 2. Hearts Collide - One of favourite Green Day songs and works perfect on its own as a B-Side. If they ever issue C&V’s, would live to hear an updated studio version. 1. Do Da Da - Holds a special place in my heart as being my first random GD song uncovered in the early days of Napster. I had no idea what it was or where it was from only being 12 or 13, but was blown away by hearing a GD song not on an album. As close to discovering treasure as anything.

Just to confirm live single and 2, 4k videos https://view.e.warnerrecords.com/?qs=efd2b9b8628fe5017db0d84f333e5263cd1a3f3a88153d3a728b3ff04023d192a4872b2cf540a33a53e3eea6f5d0065f1460fa8ba235a6841febe35082141b74a590c7080afcf99d2099743f27534e51
