"your job is to love Green Day? I like that, that's a good job, that's my job too" ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/C8hFPHnNXVM/

Such a good show, the boys sounded great. Can't believe they ripped through 37 songs in less than 2.5 hours. They honestly put many other bands to shame with what they put in. As a blind person, I can't speak for how it was visually but Billie Joe certainly sounded full of energy and as a whole they sounded fantastic, I'm always blown away by the clarity of Billie's vocals live, as someone who goes to many, many gigs and frequently find that you can't hear the singers that clearly in the moment. A couple of people I went with thought that Billie sounded a bit horse at times, to which I was like well yeah, singing 37 songs must be pretty hard I'll be at Wembley next week, looking forward to it. I'll be introducing two friends to their first Green Day show. Loved Billie's improv during the Chump pause

It was the girl who sang on stage. He pointed out her a lot afterwards

I will be recording it, hopefully if my internet doesn't fuck up, it says it will also be the full set as well!

@solongfromthestarsis at the show today so posting these on her behalf

Yet another one of Kevin's jobs- merch model.

It was. They also threw in more Saviors stuff this time around. Always great to hear Look Ma and OEB.

I’m just guessing but I think it’ll be like Rock Am ring where they just play some select songs from Dookie and maybe AI still gets played in full

Tuned into Sky Arts now. Love that they’re covering the whole thing including drunk bunny!

Really wish I could be at the UK shows but with these huge venues I'm still just not well enough (well might be able to make it through the show but not the travelling,etc)

I’ve already posted my review of the gig in the gig thread, but it’s worth reiterating how great a gig it was. My family loved it too. It was mums first GD gig and I’m so happy that she really enjoyed it. She knew most of the songs- it was only the first few from Dookie that I had to name as we were leaving after the gig. She’s asked a few times (in a strong Geordie accent) “what was Tre doing prancing about the stage in a dressing gown?” Got loads of pictures on dads phone that we should have a look at. I’m still shattered from getting home at 3:20 this morning. That, and the cost of concert tickets and travel are the reasons why we decided not to see either KOL or the Killers this weekend as well as GD who we’d already booked before the other two groups announced their gigs.

Unfortunately, the screen recording was pretty stuttery. But I know that a Satellite Feed should be up sometime tomorrow.

About 25 minutes to GD. Stage Sent to me by @solongfromthestars

Someone informed me of a shady ass website that allows me to watch Sky Arts in the States. So I'm gonna attempt a screen recording via my phone. Thankfully, I can also do a direct radio capture, since there's an official way for me to listen to Absolute Radio in the US.

I know this is Green Day Community, but Nothing But Thieves were SO GOOD. Listen to them if you haven't already! One of my favourite bands. McFly, Picture This and Beverly Knight were great too. Tom from McFly is wearing a Green Day shirt.

Wahey! There's me right below Billie's right foot with my head turned to the side. Amazing gig, 8th time seeing them and arguably the best as I got AI in full. Homecoming and Whatsername live were something else and pure emotion. Always seem to have the best time at this venue, was amazing in 2010 as well! Stage seems a little closer to the crowd than somewhere bigger or enclosed stadiums like Wembley/Huddersfield. I also got back into the standing area after going to the toilet just as Bohemian Rhapsody came on and got direct centre three rows from the front by the time TADIKM finished. You don't need to get there hours early, just some perseverance and nouse

Seriously epic show, right up there for those who think they peaked at 21CBD. Sounded amazing, looked fantastic, energy off the scale. 105 stars. Can’t wait to do it all again Tuesday.

I think if they did a tour were they played no hits, just random songs from each album, would be a dream in the same level as getting full Dookie and American Idiot live was. Unlikely to happen, but a girl can dream 😂

Really good show! I would say one of the best this tour. Perfect setlist (Bobby Sox and OEB ), complete stage set up and Billie in really good mood (still can’t stop laughing of Sassafras Roots ). And what’s the most important - it was possible to get the barrier without VIP ticket.

I think it might depend on the conditions at the venue and the plane itself. In Paris is where I saw it stay out for longer and it actually did like a full round of the arena (came out on Jason's side, then went in on Mike's side if I remember correctly). In Lyon it was much quicker and it stayed always on the same side (Mike's), and you could see it wasn't going according to plan, even Billie was laughing with it at some point. In Hamburg it never came out (someone suggested it might have been due it being outdoors and windy),

No worries someone for sure will have one up! Seemed like a great show from what I’ve read

I’m really glad that they still kept all five Saviors songs on the condensed setlist. I didn’t love the idea that for shorter shows they’d just play oldies instead.

I don't know either I have no idea

I think it was the full show. A mix of Dookie songs and greatest hits, and AI. The only song not played from AI was Extraordinary Girl

Insomniac and Nimrod in full would be amazing

No extraordinary girl

Bit of American Idiot

This is one of the best pro shots I've seen! With some humour in as well! Fucking amazing!

We had front standing (golden circle but not VIP) in Manchester and it was great. As intended we were nearer the back on Mike’s side but had pretty good room to dance and didn’t feel too far away.

I think it depends on when and where they are going to sell it. In Germany the merch was sold only inside the venues, so most people just bought their stuff after the show (although I've heard that in Hamburg they shut it while there were still people in line waiting to buy something 🤨). In Arnhem the merch was sold outside the venue and it opened around 2.30.

I really hope that baby is flying at Wembley! I'll be gutted if it doesn't.😭😅

Couple of dogs patrolling last night, not aware of having seen that before. What a night! Crowd were a bit dull where I was and it’s a bit of an odd venue. Billie laughed at one point and said “why are some of you pointing backwards”. I don’t think those seats had been sold but folk had moved in to them to be closer, some were very far from the stage. BUT Green Day were fantastic, as good as ever I saw them I think. Billie is looking very trim, sounds fantastic, was in great form and clearly enjoying himself. I’m liking Corey O’Toole, he’s there but not doing as much as Jason who is too present for me sometimes. Jason W had blue hair, at least it looked like it. You know the setlist, but they came almost 15 mins early, 7. 45 and played til about 10.20 give or take a minute. Their energy never faltered, it was over too soon and I can’t wait to do it again Tuesday!

This... a DVD promo about Broadway musical.

Interesting! I really hope they do this mix at Wembley!😁 Anybody would think I'm nearly as excited for the confetti as I am for GD!🤣

What the hell was Billie doing during the 2nd verse 🤣😭

8 weeks on Alternative, 10 on Canadian Rock, and 12 on Rock and Alternative. If it's still #1 next week on R&A, it'll tie Still Breathing for longest GD #1 on that chart.

Love reading about everyone's experiences at the shows in Europe. Yes I would love to see a broken up setlist. I loved the 21st Century era tours. Not for complete album, but alot of deep cuts too. Not looking forward to the festival shows this year. Still waiting to see if any discounted tickets come up last minute in San Francisco, not excited about seeing any of the other bands. I miss the Green Day tour in Arenas not with all these other bands. I've seen them every time they tour, seeing all the club shows, but gonna miss this one. first saw them in Petaluma at the Phoenix theater in 1991 and still seeing them today is special.

I have Christmas baubles with the different confetti’s in them.

This is a very important issue, well done on bringing it up!🫡 I always like to collect a few bits of confetti to keep with gig memorabilia! In fact at the Hella Mega Tour, I nearly lost my friend because I dived on the floor to collect some at the end and they didn't realise and started to exit the venue!😬🤣

I'm looking forward to seeing them play a more mixed setlist again, but these shows are really really special, a dream come true for many fans. I don't know what I was thinking when I only got tickets for one show of this tour, now I wish I could go to at least 3 more 🥲 but it's always like this, I should've learned my lesson from last time 😄 let's just hope it won't be years till we get Green Day in Europe again

I always liked 99 Revolutions and thought it worked well live!😁

Just watched the full show on YouTube. Amazing 😍

I was there and I think it was an amazing show. Maybe I’m biased (well, I obviously am) but I’ve seen plenty of big bands headlining these massive festivals and I think this was probably the best headline performance I’ve seen. The atmosphere was great and the band sounded amazing. I was a bit disappointed that they didn’t play Dookie in full but they made up for it with all the AI songs. It’s truly great to see how even a festival crowd like this knows all of the songs on that album. We also got three Saviors songs and they even played Bobby Sox as the closing track (apart from Good Riddance of course). So yeah, it was a special night. It was only my second Green Day show but I’d say it was probably even better than the first one.
