New pants! Nice

They have gotten shorter, but I wouldn't necessarily say worse though. I was at the Lyon show and when I first read some where that they had played 37 songs I was like "no way! Their show in Venezuela (2010 or 2011 I think) lasted way longer than this and they didn't play that many songs then!" For me it's still hard to believe that they played 37 songs, even after counting them myself. But they did. I got to hear American Idiot in full (literally a dream come true), I had been to 5 Green Day concerts before (1 from the AI tour, 3 from the 21stBD tour and Bataclan last year), and yet at this show I got to hear 15 songs live that I had never heard live before. For me that is pretty monumental. If they have to sacrifice a bunch of hey-ohs and the whole King for a Day act (or whatever else they were doing during the previous tours), in order to be able to deliver that, I'm cool with it. As you say, they are getting older, we cannot expect them to keep the same pace they had 15 - 20 years ago, and of all the things they could sacrifice in order to be able to keep on delivering a good show, I personally feel they sacrificed the right ones.

Sorry guys, I did record the show with a screen recorder, but the whole picture turned out black. It worked fine when I tested it earlier on that channel though. I guess they added something to block the video during the show (is that possible?), I can’t explain it otherwise… The show was fantastic, boys sounded amazing, such a bummer. Did someone else try it?

Is it just me or does it seem like people complain no matter what they do? Lol. Everyone's allowed to have opinions and that's totally fine, but I think we should be more grateful they're doing something as cool as performing their two most popular albums in full. I'm so excited to see it! I'm also just glad they're touring in general, and from what I can tell, seem to be happy and healthy

It was, but there’s nothing to be done about that. They’re still doing two hour sets. It seems like another no win situation for them. When they do a lot of fan interaction, people complain it slows the show down and they don’t have time for as many tracks when Knowledge, HAR and KFAD take forever for instance. Then they remove them, cram 37 songs into a setlist, playing two albums in full, and people say they’re rushing through the set and there’s no fan participation. Well do you want to hear a lot of songs or do you want more people pulled on stage, Billie lying on the stage ranting and singing covers and ten minutes of Hey-Oh’s Bugs Bunny style? Maybe you want the t-shirt cannon back?

In the meantime I converted the video file to a MP3 (320 kbps, since the original audio is 384 kbps and FLAC would make pretty much no sense). It's unsplit. https://mega.nz/folder/CxZy0YjY#q3VTfrVNnv6icPezkTEe-A The video will be in the same folder (currently at 50%)

The 20GB version from Guitars101 is stereo, that's what I can say upfront

Someone will get it off of Dime, don't worry. Are you in a rush with the show? I really don't wanna seem pissy to you, but the show will surface in the next hours. Some Green Day shows were held back from the public for years or decades and some are still to surface. The recording is not going anywhere and will never be seen - several people recorded it. Just be a little patient. I downloaded the VK video and I'm uploading it to MEGA right now. EDIT: and I'm gonna download and re-upload the 20GB version from Guitars101 as well, since I have access to my brother's rapidgator premium account

I saw this while sitting by the lake with a bunch of bicyclists around me and was so confused for a second. https://www.instagram.com/reel/C8ASiCHPTTg/?igsh=MTl6aWZyZTFkaWdvag==

I've got the full HD video. You have to have a VK account. Probably it will be leaked on youtube today

Complety agree! 35-36 songs (including JOS and homecming, two complete album played, and not only de "hits") IS much better than crowd "singers" destroyng masterpices and lot of heee ohhhs.

I Iove this band to death. I've seen them so many times and have been listening to Green Day for 20 years now. I was at their show yesterday and will see them several more times over the next days and weeks, simply because I love this band. But honestly, the live shows have gotten worse, shorter, and less interactive since the 21st Century Breakdown tour. It feels like the band is rushing through the set. They are getting older, and I understand that, but that's just my opinion. The 21st Century Breakdown tour was the pinnacle of their live performance.

I really, really like these new pants and they go so well with the shirt I'll stop fangirling over them now

Can someone get it off dime please?

I'm just quoted them and it didn't answer me yet. Maybe tomorrow will upload it

Someone took a couple of screenshots to comment on the teleprompter Does anyone know if this setlist is correct? https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/green-day/2024/nurburgring-nurburg-germany-63aba247.html I have no idea how my post duplicated there

Tbh this tour is far better than Hella Mega and I‘m totally happy with it. They‘re doing a lot Fan interactions and playinf over 30 Songs for about 2.5 hours which is great. the only thing I‘m „disappointed“ is they disn‘t play Dookie in full because they went 10 min too late on stage and finished at 1am like it was planned. Sad we didn‘t get dookie/AI in full as Pro Shots. But the show was great and I‘m completely tired after 12 hours at the stage

Absolutely top tier. Arguably their best pro shot since reading 2013

Novacaine pro shot!! seem to be getting the full album tonight First Homecoming and Whatsername pro shots coming up for the first time since 2005! 😭😭

I can't believe how many news articles there are about this lol. 10 at least!

I've been putting these in this thread and the relevant show thread but going forward will just put them here

I completely forgot to upload the pics for this thread whilst @solongfromthestarswas away last week but here's today's If they aren't posted here you can always find them on GDA's Instagram story here https://www.instagram.com/gdauthority?igsh=MXIwYWFtd3djMzlrdQ== Or on GDA's Tumblr here https://www.tumblr.com/greendayauthority/752792616127643648/green-day-on-this-day-9-june-2024?source=share

From Billie's Instagram story If anyone who doesn't have Instagram would like me to upload Kevin Preston or Coley O'Toole's posts I can but it's quite fiddly and around 15-20 more photos so I will do it if someone wants to see them but if not I'll just leave it

Got home this morning and uploaded my videos of Pulling Teeth and Extraordinary Girl. They're shakier than I thought, so don't get excited. And my photos, which are equally shit but I'll post them anyway. Some other thoughts: The confetti at this show was plain pink and green. No fancy art. I brought a whole bag of it home and I'm questioning my choices now. There was a fabulous patch specific to this show at the merch table. I thought it'd still be open after the show so I didn't buy one during the day and wish I had because everything was shut. If anyone has an extra patch they don't want, I'd love to buy it from you. I got one of Mike's picks, which was nice. Billie's looked good too. "Green Day is on our Eras Tour" was hilarious. There was a lot of interaction between Mike and the crowd. I'm sure he brightened at least 50 people's days by smiling, sticking his tongue out and pointing at them. The security guard in front of me was a secret fanboy and couldn't help touching his heart and putting his hands on his cheeks in disbelief during Are We the Waiting. Strangely, most of my favourite moments (although it's hard to choose) were songs I'd seen before. I expected to melt down over Homecoming (which was obviously incredible) but there I was losing my shit to She and Letterbomb. I guess that's what happens when you haven't seen Green Day for years. I'm so glad I went Wow! It really didn't feel like such a long show. They got through the two albums so fast. And you! I don't think I can afford to go to Paris after all, but I'm sure I'll see you again one day

I'll second that request. If not, I can grab it off VK, but not before June 17th since I'm on holiday In the US

Yes https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/green-day/2024/nurburgring-nurburg-germany-63aba247.html

I honestly don't really know. But there were sure some songs in which Jeff Matika didn't play guitar and just did background vocals. I think he also did the lead guitar parts during the verses of Boulevard of Broken Dreams on tour.

ok thank you

any idea when they will post?

"Rock im Park @rockimparkofficial!!!! ❤️❤️❤️ 🇩🇪!!!" "One more from @rockimparkofficial" From Ryan Baxley I think the last one is from Lyon

Listening to Jesse Malin’s The Art of Self Destruction from 2003 and notice there’s a song on there called Cigarettes and Violets. Can’t help but think about C&V which would have been happening around the same time (2002). It’s interesting. Who inspired who?

You had me at Billie Joe and Elvis Costello ❤️

Them calling it a "tribute album" really makes it sound like he's died considering he has serious medical issues, relieved to see he hasn't. But it's a nice idea and looking forward to hearing Billie's song.

again they played only 1 song from the new album. and no song released after 2009 lol

I don't know if it's been shared in the last 1-2 days here and please feel free to move it to the necessary section on the forum but I just don't want anyone to miss this 11 min newly surfaced footage. This is the Green Day I fell in love at first sight. What an amazing video.
