Well, there weren't any surprises. My playlist on the run to the venue were my favorites from the Uno/Dos/Tre trilogy, as I was wishfully hoping for just one such selection. However, longtime local GD fans know they seem to inexplicably play it even safer during large hometown shows. There wasn't even a perfunctory, "What do you guys want to hear?" Still, I used to think any year I saw GD was a good year, and I think that's still true. Billie's voice is still incredible. Consider the following notes I took your annotated listening/watching guide for the archived livestream. There were a few lyric ad libs. 8:10pm Bohemian Rhapsody starts 8:19pm on stage 01. American Idiot: Billie comes out in a leather vest with "1972" on the back and a white flower pinned on his front right. 02. Holiday: "The representative of SCOTUS now has the floor!" 03. Know Your Enemy: with the usual audience member vocal near the end 04. Boulevard of Broken Dreams: After asking for everyone to turn on their phone flashlight, "It's about the only thing these phones are good for." 05. Longview: "My Tinder says to get a job." 😀 06. Welcome to Paradise 07. Hitchin' a Ride (preceded by Iron Man by Black Sabbath tease): After the usual dueling crowd cheer bit, "You're all a bunch of suckers, not the ones from Oakland." 08. Rock and Roll All Nite (KISS cover) 09. Brain Stew 10. St. Jimmy: BJA on vocal only, not on guitar, takes flower previously pinned on his vest and tosses it into the crowd. 11. When I Come Around: BJA shouting out surrounding areas at the end, "San Francisco... East Bay... Sacramento... ahhh, fucking, Santa Cruz, I guess, I don't know" 12. Waiting: I know it isn't numerically true, but it felt like the "rarest" song we got. 13. 21 Guns 14. Minority: Band introductions had some jokes for names like Ricky Schroder, Henry Winkler, and (for Mike Dirnt) David Duchovny. 15. Knowledge (Operation Ivy cover) (preceded by Tre drum solo): The "We" in "We get taught to decide" was a note BJA impressively held for 23 seconds. A 10-year-old kid named Montgomery did a great job on guest guitar. He was so short that BJA spent a bit of time trying to shorten the guitar strap for him. 16. Basket Case: This song had a fumbled start as BJA broke a string on his guitar after the first verse but played out the rest of the song. I wonder if the broken string led them to scratch "She". 17. King for a Day (preceded by "Lights" by Journey snippet, followed by a tease of "Careless Whisper" by George Michael): BJA briefly wears a plastic crown taken from the audience or planned as a stage prop. In the end, "Just wait 'til all them kids get a load of me". 18. Shout (The Isley Brothers cover) 19. Wake Me Up When September Ends 20. Jesus of Suburbia: In Part III: I Don't Care, the more recent "from Ukraine to the Middle East". I presume it was a joke, but Billie introduced "Tre Cool on the bass" leading into Part V: Tales of Another Broken Home. During the closing "I don't feel any shame" verse, Tre came up to give Billie a kiss. Billie then joked, "Tales from another broken... I thought that was my mother... " (in the same melody). 😂 21. Good Riddance (Time of Your Life): BJA began with a story of how in 1991 they tried to play in Dolores Park (across town in SF) on a day with a bunch of punk bands, but the cops shut it down before they played last. "They didn't shut this one down though," he smirks as he starts GR. The final "I hope you had the time of your life" ends in a low growl I haven't heard BJA do before. 9:57pm off stage Thanks for reading, Frank

It was a sweet moment😍

I believe it was one thousand nine hundred seventy two times exactly *winkwink

Exactly, we have to accept we are the minority, I’ve been at big shows where ands play deep cuts and the mood can just plummet. Very hard to recover it too. I love seeing all the tweets etc from people saying how great GD were. Not boring show though.

Crappy screenshots from my phone (still not got computer fixed! ) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg8rTTrODOl/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

Kevin didn't even stop by to say hi to me? 😤 Rude.

To me it’s just a sign that they’re starting to throw out teases beyond their social media circle of more serious fans to a wider audience. If that’s true I can’t imagine this album would still be six months away or more

If it helps, the show they put on still helps them to gain new fans and impress the doubters even now. Here’s a subreddit for Outside Lands where casual fans who were not sure they liked Green Day walked away impressed and in love after a greatest hits show. These shows are for those people

He probably did it just for funsies.

Thank @greendayrock.

They're on the live stream now, not sure what I've missed but I've seen Hitchin A Ride, Rock N Roll All Night, and now Brain Stew Yeah looks like they're streaming the whole show, hope someone is recording it

Just came in to post the thing!

I posted this in the TikTok thread as well. Here's the 1972 vest!!!

Hmmm, I am on the wrong thread, but he is so cute 🤩

Haha, here's to hoping that they will! I leave Cali Wednesday so I'm hoping maybe soon!🤞🤞😝

That’s true. I’d be fine if I never heard Holiday and BOBD again, but Basket Case and Minority never get old for me. I’m sure everyone has their list

I was surprised when Kevin tagged it; I don't think they have vegan deep dish. Did you see they were in Avondale?

We've talked a lot about the band's 'by-the-numbers' set. But the real question is whether the band enjoys playing the same songs over and over again. I certainly hope they enjoy it, and aren't being pressure by record exec's or fan reaction to play what I call the "ONE - TWENTY ONE HITS" set list we keep getting every single night. I know there has to be at least SOME of that involved. But it's kind of sad that no matter how rich and famous you are, you're never really free to do whatever you want. I know that Green Day were to say, perform DOS in it's entirety everynight, followed by 10 Coldplay covers - the crowds would thin and their ability to tour would vanish. It just sucks. It sucks that a ragtag trio of punks with 60 Million or whatever in the bank can't play what the heck ever comes to mind. What's really concerning is that potentially the guys aren't happy at all. That they can't stop for whatever reason. The music industry won't let them. The fans, or their feelings of owing the fans...... I hope that Billie, Mike and Tre have cemented a better deal with their label, but these set lists...... It's just bad. Add Too Dumb to Die to ther permeanant setlist and I'll forget I ever thought about this. Thanks Billie

Show seemed slightly off the rails but it was what you would expect from a hometown show. Some technical issues and just plain weird shit, wtf was up with those band introductions Billie 😂 and Tre randomly coming down during JOS to give Billie a kiss and his singjng response “I thought that was my mother”, and that was the longest note during Knowledge I think I’ve ever heard him do. Crazy ass show

I think this new album will be something special

Not news but looked what popped up. What else does he have stashed away?

Great show as always, love the energy. Yeah same setlist when I saw them last year. Still glad I saw them again live. I had a great time watching some of the other bands playing at Outside Lands. Still hoping for a arena tour where we can get those fantastic setlists like we got in 2010. I am not a fan of these festival shows. They can't play the fan favorites because they are playing to a broader audience and some who have never seen them before. Oh well I enjoyed seeing them live. Now wait for the next show in the Bay Area.

I hadn't really thought about it but I suppose anything is possible with this band

What songs are being played on setlist.fm

Tbh I think doing a little more research before dishing out $200 might come a long way if you care about what’s being played.

It’s pretty safe to say that hardcore fans would be even more disappointed by that than the current Hella Mega setlist. As much as we love the deep cuts more than anybody, It’d be wrong to say that at least one of the hits don’t land in our top songs (Which would get you the side eye in this community.)

Possibly to hype people up and get casual Green Day fans interested. After seeing him wear that jacket, I'm positive we'll be getting something else by October.

I'm hoping they get it out before the Grammys cut off date!!!!

Wishful thinking. This album is more likely to be closer to RevRad than American Idiot. Which is fine if it's good, but I wouldn't get my hopes too high

Either way it's clear that they definitely think it will be. Which is exciting, because even a pretty good album like RevRad seemed to lack this amount of confidence

He really was! So adorable 🥰

Billie was so cute tonight! 😭

Cute

Watching an Outside Lands livestream Billie is wearing a vest that has “1972” painted on the back. Are we really going to have to wait until 2023 for this album? 🥺

Yeah looks to be they will only stream the last 20 minutes of the show, so I'm sure the livestream will be KFAD, JOS and Good Riddance.

What I really want to know about their metro set is did they have time to chow down on some deep dish while they were in Chicago? 😄

They smoked so much weed that they got hit with visions of future

"songs that will please everybody except for parents" - years later... Children being "saved" on stage. Green Day has come a long way.

Well then I hope they were surprised 😜 But if you care that much about what they play at a festival then I agree check out other recent festival setlists

i am sure there are many people (like me) who dont do "research" before a show so you get surprised by the setlist

That was so much fun to watch! So glad they ended up streaming the whole thing. I loved it! 😍

These host guys are cringe
