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

Wonder how much he’ll get for that 😄

It’s a monster of a song to play at the end.

Billie's face in some of these

Have put these in the Instagram thread but thought I'd put them here too (from Greg Schneider's Instagram) Not reposting all of Kevin's photos as there's a lot of repeats

Still, there are some smaller club shows in the US every once in a while (I admit mainly in the SF/Bay Area). It'd be great to have the opportunity to travel to one of these shows without being completely broke afterwards. Even if it's only London, within Europe you could fly there within 2-3 hours compared to 8 - 12 hours to get to the US. And just in general, more shows like the one in Chicago would just be great... no matter where!

I’m not saying you’re wrong but any indication that they’d be interested in playing more of those kinds of shows is an unmitigated win in my book

Holy shit!

Oh they know I'm a certified GD expert Just waiting for my chance to talk about the boys and interview Billie. I'm soooooo close. I interviewed Jakub, so Billie is the next logical step

Yup, right here! https://www.greendaycommunity.org/topic/103820-20220731-lollapalooza-grant-park-chicago-il-usa/

Bro, I absolutely love your enthusiasm for the band but you're really setting yourself up for disappointment if you are expecting anything more than a standard record. You should probably lower your expectations just a little just to be safe. We don't all want it to come out ASAP. In fact I personally only want it to come out when it's ready and not a moment sooner. I have had enough mixed bag records from the band and I just want them to put out something that they have taken their time on and can be proud of. The last thing we need right now is yet another "the new!" album that not even the band remembers.

I'm pretty sure it is just an EP turned into a standard album.

Nothing major just a standard HM set list
