I was at the show last night—I made my way up to the stage when Porno for Pyros had about 15 minutes left of their set. So about 1 hour, 15 minutes before Green Day went on. I got a decent spot not too far from the front on Mike’s side. I was maybe 20 or so feet from the front. While standing in the crowd for that hour waiting for Green Day to start, my Apple Watch buzzed three different times in a span of 30 minutes saying I had a high heart rate. Ya think?! I was anxious as heck. Haha. When Green Day finally came out, it took me about 5 songs in to calm down and be able to enjoy myself lol but holy it was a great time! So glad I went and got to experience that. Idk why the quality is so bad when I uploaded it but this is an idea of what my view looked like:

I think I get why he was a little bitchy

Watched this again last night. Great show. Funny thing I noticed was Billie’s expression as soon as JOS ended and he turned away from the crowd. It was this huge wide eyed exhale of relief 😮‍💨

I'm assuming we won't get content until after Outside Lands this weekend.

Ahh another day, another opportunity for a 1972 tease

He looks kind of drunk / hungover hahah

It really is and you get that seeing his face. A nearly ten minute song they always do at the end of a full show. That shit is hard.

I love how he said no when she first asked if she could take a pic with him 😂😂

I want to know who tipped them off that Billie would be arriving at the airport then!

They’re easy to spot, all middle aged dudes with Dookie vinyls

I’ve never had the chance to meet any of them and then I see people like these sellers get a chance to meet him…SIGH. Love how he knows what those people are really there for. 😂

Not reposting all of Kevin's photos as there's a lot of repeats

Omgggg if I saw Billie in O'Hare airport....the heavens could take me This would be me

Praying for a single before that so we can get a live performance during it 🙌

I love that he knows the difference, and he’s letting them know he knows!

I love that picture of Billie and Jason!

I’m guessing he just said no in that moment because he shooting a TikTok and was on a roll signing stuff. But once they stopped he did.

I like that they took a picture of the weed box in the airport 😄

Knowing how they got the signatures and just seeing the whole seedy process makes this kind of thing much less attractive to me

The Dookie signed vinyl stock is going to plunge if he keeps signing

Once again, it's in the 80s and the man is wearing a hoodie.

Obviously even the prospect of small shows where they play deep cuts is really exciting but I would worry they could turn into "shitfests" like some of the Longshot shows did (and after what happened last week that more people will just start lining up without tickets hoping to be let in)

I like how he didn’t bother about signing the funko’s and knowing that they would flip the price on ebay a whole lot more than possibly the vinyls, good billie! I love his sarcasm

I found this while randomly going through an jhope/ green day thread?

For anyone without Instagram this is what Billie posted on his story From Green Day Mike from @batmansmom From Kevin

From Greg Schneider's

He is way too nice. All eBay sellers

This petition acts like US fans got a tour or something. It was one special event full of VIPs that 99.9% of US fans were shut out of. So how exactly are European fans being deprived?

This time he’s just staring into the void with a prayer channel playing in background as one does, sometimes.

Billie’s being weird again

she commented on ig that he said no to the guy next to her

For anybody curious . https://www.ebay.com/itm/144422198578?hash=item21a03bdd32:g:MY4AAOSwiyViEMfA

That makes sense because then they have a month off before Rock in Rio on September 9th

Maybe he reads the forum. He knows how deprived we are of deep cuts and how much we lost our shit over their setlist the other night

Would have loved to been at this show!

It’s our job 🤤

What significance does August 1st have? I’m thinking we’re a ways out from anything.

My show recaps are often a collection of my thoughts throughout the gig and little details I picked up and things I noticed. So here goes. I left Madison at 7:30 in the morning and got to the venue by 10:00, good for #14 in line. When I got there, the majority of people ahead of me did not have tickets. Many had traveled from out of state. Even by the time doors opened, a few people ahead of me still did not have tickets and were going to try to plead once they got inside. Wisely, they moved out of the way to let some ticket holders by. There was no warm act and no hype song, although some members of the crowd sang Bohemian Rhapsody on their own which was amusing. Obviously the band deviated from the setlist after just two songs, with Billie calling Revolution Radio instead of KYE. I think that caught the band by surprise as Kevin rushed out from behind the cabs and onto the stage just in time. This would become a common theme throughout the set, with Billie either calling the next song after referencing the setlist or just seemingly deciding on his own. Earlier in the set, I think either just before or just after Longview, Billie called the next song to Tré and it was evident that Tré was trying to catch his breath - he mouthed to Billie “I’m tired!”. He was an absolute workhorse all night. I saw him taping a finger between songs - probably blisters. Tré drums hard. I’m pretty sure he added some new fills that I hadn’t heard before into a couple of songs. I thought the three song Kerplunk sequence would be my favorite moment of the show - that is, until Billie Joe tuned down his guitar and started Whatsername. I was completely in shock when they started it - no way in a million years did I ever think I would hear that song live. Interesting that it wasn’t on the printed setlist, so I wonder what inspired them to play it. Maybe it was always planned - we can only speculate. Billie was definitely red-eyed for most of the song, not unlike the BIAB performance of Wake Me Up When September Ends. A very, very emotional performance of Whatsername, one that I’ll never forget. They just kept playing and playing and playing! 10 songs in and it felt like they had been playing forever, just due to the sheer excitement and the unknown as to what would come next. It felt like it would never end. When Billie called out JAR, the gentleman who I believe to be the band’s head of security pulled a setlist out of his pocket and looked at it in confusion, as if to say “when will this end?”. That was a really funny moment that made me laugh out loud. And still two songs followed! I recorded Too Dumb To Die (my favorite from RevRad) and Church On Sunday, both of which I will post to YouTube and link here in this thread. Wow, what a show - I’m still trying to process it all. A dream setlist, one that probably won’t be topped anytime soon. This will go down as an all-time show for sure. Incredibly lucky and grateful to have witnessed it! Thanks for reading and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

I watched the first livestream until it ended after One Of My Lies and it was awesome! I did notice Billie going to the second mic next to the drum set after each song and speaking into it. I guess that was one of those microphones that can only be heard by the other band members and is used to communicate. Which makes sense now, given the seemingly random and not according to the setlist songs they played tonight - that's awesome! They could keep their signature setlist for festivals (I mean it makes sense) and literally keep tonight's setlist for every other show they play. People would go nuts. Feels so fresh, almost out of place... in a good way. Edit: I wonder if they literally just tried some of the songs... I've heard about troubles with lyrics at certain points, maybe they didn't really rehearse these songs and just went for it. I'm pretty sure the fanbase wouldn't mind if this would become a regular thing with certain deep cuts lol.

I actually think he looks kind of hot with the shorter hair that has a touch of gray.
