Oh, I forgot to mention that mom went with me, her first Green Day concert, first international concert, stayed at the barricade with me until the end and absolutely loved the show! ❤️

Wow! This was my fifth GD show and I think this one was better in terms of energy!! Standard setlist minus Poliana. No fan singing Longview. I bit sad there weren't deep cuts and the set is shorter, but set short is good because I'm also getting older and I'm in a worse shape than the guys who are 20 years older than me 😅 The one negative side is that the sound was shit where I was. It seemed they didn't soundcheck. I hope it was ok for others and the Livestream, please.

Billie was wearing his 1972 vest again last night!!!

Watched the livestream. He seemed like he was having trouble with the vocals by the end of the set. He hit a really bad note during WMUWSE and cut off lines twice for Jesus of Suburbia and the rest sounded strained. Maybe that’s why he decided to not attempt Whatsername. Maybe just end of set fatigue.

I didn't know Tre had done that 😄

Best show of the festival so far!! So proud of my boys 🥰 It was way worse than just the feedback where I was. It was everything! I can handle some feedback on the stream as long as they sound that they actually can play like a professional band

Brazilian press praising it as the best concert of this edition so far. So happy they're finally getting the recognition they deserve in Brazil. https://g1.globo.com/pop-arte/musica/rock-in-rio/2022/noticia/2022/09/10/green-day-faz-show-com-pedido-de-casamento-no-rock-in-rio-2022.ghtml?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=g1

No Whatsername goodnight from the UK guys

Fan on stage for KYE Someone here asking his girlfriend to marry him at the show BOBD

Proshot whatsername pls

Don't know if this is legit

Just one day to see my favorite band again.

And she sang scattered to answer the proposal 🥰

Yeah it had a question mark after JOS, Green Day Brazil (@Alf) ran a public campaign to try to get them to play two deep cuts and Whatsername was one of them

Called it. At least the color looks natural, more brown than black. But bye bye grey 👋

wow i didnt expect them to still play the same hellamega setlist again, especially when they do a rare visit to brazil ... why not play atleast 2 or 3 deep cut gems? i guess they will stick to this set for the last couple shows, then have their well-deserved break before things start ramping up for 1972-lp/tour

So happy you got to be there! It was definitely their best concert in Brazil in terms of energy, I'm impressed Sound quality was shit every time he went down to the walkway, some crazy feedback issues going on there. But other than that it was good, we finally got a pro-shot from them 😅

I don't really get why they're still playing Know Your Enemy tbh. I get that it was a pretty successful single off of 21CB and it's the only track off the album they play (apart from 21 Guns which they only started playing for Hella Mega & will probably stop playing it for 1972 tour) but is anyone actually going to a Green Day show specifically hoping to hear Know Your Enemy? Why not play literally any other song from the album (which are all just better songs) instead? Imagine if they started playing the title track or East Jesus Nowhere again. Or just any of the non-singles from the album I guess the reason why Billie specifically would want to play that track over the rest of 21CB is because of how rough that time was for him and the other tracks probably remind him of how hard it was to create that album. KYE in comparison to most of the other songs probably didn't take as much time or effort to write. I still enjoy KYE quite a lot, more than most people I think. I think it does add something different to the album that you don't see from the other tracks but it's definitely one of the lesser tracks on the album imo and I think being played 398 times (according to setlist.fm) is more than enough

Yeah that’s what I mean, it’s why it stuck out to me.

https://news.trenddetail.com/euro/131163.html "Fan who took the stage at Green Day says the band saved her from depression: ‘Their music motivated me’ | Rock in Rio 2022" There is an interview with a woman who went on stage at KYE. She was also the one who delivered the Brazilian flag to Billie. “I like the political side of Green Day and punk in general, so I took the Brazilian flag and wrote ‘No racism, no fascism, no sexism’. There was a moment in the show where my friends and I were waving her and Billie asked. And he put on a show." https://g1.globo.com/pop-arte/musica/rock-in-rio/2022/noticia/2022/09/10/fa-que-subiu-ao-palco-do-green-day-diz-que-banda-a-salvou-de-depressao-musica-deles-me-motivava.ghtml?utm_source=share-universal&utm_medium=share-bar-app&utm_campaign=materias The original article in Portuguese. There is a picture of the flag. A reply to this tweet points out that the TV station did not want to show the words on the flag. I was wondering so I edited the video of that scene and posted it on my tumblr. Thanks for sharing, @redline punk

Majority of Rock in Rio audiences are always more casual/average listeners (100,000/day after all) so I assumed it was about the vibe. There's no curfew and other headliners had longer sets in the past

So he at least considered it enough to add it to the setlist. I wonder at what point he decides not to play it and why? Is it an audience vibe, a time constraint or does he just chicken out? What goes through his head?

Whatsername is on the setlist at the end. Will have to see if it happens WMUWSE

We’re waiting to see if Whatsername is played, otherwise standard HM set list

Rock and roll all night Billie saying thank you in Portuguese in a high pitched voice (muito obrigado) I wish they'd post longer clips

Green Day is up in 30 minutes

From Kevin From Jason Freese

That must mean we're getting a new Green Day single that same week!!!

I'm right there with you.

Between that and voice issues and skipping whatsername, i have a feeling he maybe had a slightly off day

That’s a little weird. He always makes a show out of giving away the guitar.

That's really cool. Glad she loved it and you both had a great time

everything in is a stupid strange language

https://www.facebook.com/multishow/ A short videos is being posted here.

Someone uploaded a fake setlist with Whatsername on and I shat myself for a moment before realising they’ve just gone on

His facial festures kind of softened and I think lighter hair color works well for him. The dark brown he has last year for the superbowl performace looked good and it was a compromise between the unnatural black and grey

No.

I prefer the black hair so I guess I'm in the minority there.

Just release those goddam live tracks on streaming services. I don‘t get this tactic.

Found it! Now the belly 🤣
