  1. Thanks to Arica Pelino for her footage and Shayne Stacy for digitizing this classic material. See the caption in the video for more info. This is just a teaser. Arica gave Shayne hours and hours of videotapes of East Bay bands including lots of never before seen Green Day material from her personal collection. With permission she is now sharing her stuff with fans for the first time! I’m starting this thread and will add to it as more stuff gets uploaded. In the meantime enjoy this small backstage clip from the Phoenix Theatre in 1991 and subscribe to Shayne’s channel.

  3. Well that was amazing! Great show, personally I’d have like more Billie, less Courtney but clearly the crowd were very excited when she appeared. Had a nice chat and selfie with Bill as they were finishing up, lovely guy, told us that they were going down like flies when they cancelled the gig in November, only 2 out of whole team left standing and Billie could barely speak, they felt so bad cancelling. Never dreamed I’d get so close to such gorgeousness, the closer I get, the more amazing he gets! ❤️ . Almost walked smack into Adie as she was leaving, they were right in front of us but disappeared really quickly and then a lux looking people carrier appeared so we assumed that was her. Folk were calling out to her and she was smiling at everyone.

  4. I'm right there with you, I obviously don't hate Dookie and commercially it makes sense to market the tour with them playing it in full, but I will fully admit that I won't appreciate hearing it in full like a lot of people who will be at these shows. A good chunk of Dookie has always been, and will always be on the setlist, whereas Saviors stuff could disappear after this tour, so I wish we could enjoy all of it now!

  7. That was wild. Incredible seeing Billie in such a legendary venue in my own country. Even when we were splayed on the amps and stage, me and everyone around me was smiling and laughing. I'd normally roll my eyes at someone inviting themselves onstage but Maddie was amazing when she got up there! And I will gladly wait in the rain all day just to see Love is for Losers any time. I won't spam it like I did last time, but I will say LOVE IS FOR LOSERS! Again! In my country Billie "forgot" those lyrics again, by the way. Summer of '69 was another highlight. What an anthem. Billie's reaction to an "I can sing Bowie" sign was "yeah I can sing Bowie too" which was hilarious but then he gave the fan a chance to sing anyway. If I had to choose, I think the Garage show was my favourite of the two, but of course I almost loved them both equally. For anyone who cares (not me, I must admit), the songs Courtney Love sang were professionally recorded. The reaction to her here was definitely cooler than the one at the Garage, haha. We were speculating the guest might be Tiffany but no. Also! The staff of the 100 Club deserve praise for being so kind, patient and acknowledging the time fans spent queuing. They took responsibility for the queue when private security tried to move us on, and I think if any drama had gone down they would've handled it. Very rare to get that from venue staff. Whoever gave me the Coverups pin badge because I was at the front of the queue, thanks! On another note, I got my Big Camera in, so photos are coming along with a GDA recap of both shows I'm on the National Express home right now though and I might fall asleep before I can edit and post any. The lighting was also terrible for photography and I was trying not to be too obvious (felt a bit rude), so I don't know how many of my photos are any good but yeah I'll share them anyway.

  19. It was a really fun night, echo what someone else said felt super intimate, a little unpolished in a good way and for me I’ll never get to see Billie/Jason up close like that in such a setting so it was deffo worth going. Setlist I think needs a little more refinement over here and Billie kinda acknowledged it a bit at one point saying “we’re gonna play some more contemporary stuff” before blasting into Last Nite. It really was great fun when they played the big songs everyone knew, some of the punk stuff was lesser known amongst the crowd, and was slightly surprised they didn’t cover Oasis or The Rollling Stones. Some nice surprise in the set though, Ever Fallen in Love & Courtney Love joining was great. Do I need to see it again? Probably not, if it was near me I’d deffo go again though and I feel incredibly lucky to have been able to attend tonight.

  21. some backstory: Jean Repetto (from what I've gathered, now known as Jeana Repetto) was fifteen (https://www.discogs.com/artist/689398-Fifteen) drummer in 1989 and later, guitarist during their reunion in 1997 (She appears on Lucky https://www.discogs.com/master/413748-Fifteen-Lucky). I'm pretty sure that she lived/lives in the bay area and did some classical/jazz stuff too in the early 2000s. And she was also from East Bay Mud (https://www.discogs.com/artist/414855-East-Bay-Mud) Back to the song... I really never heard this version and the title says "portastudio 424",a 4-track recorder, perhaps the same billie used for the demos? Please help me! And let me know if I found something new, maybe? Thanks Also I've never seen neither this photo nor billie with a brush cut lol

  22. Hoarding is a strong word. She’s not a collector, these are her personal memories. It’s really generous of her to want to share everything now, she by no means had to. It’s been in storage for years and took a long time to go through and digitize.

  23. Billie chokes at 1:40 of Whatshername. Damn, it's still his emotionally weak spot song after all these years. I completely get that. And as much as it's painful and hard to let go of past, it's on the other hand so raw, romantic and beautiful to hold on to these painful memories which, in the end, made us who we are today.

  29. Ah, legendary Not So Silent Night 2011 performance where they were last minute substitute and had to perform as 3-piece. Great show with funny improvisations everywhere (American Idiot solo) and also last time Billie played guitar during Jaded IIRC. Anyways, man was 39 during that night and off from tour. He is 52 now and about to hit the road once again with the most demanding setlist they've done in years. Getting older sucks, but I am so ridiculously happy to see them still perform after all these years. Sure, they might not jump around like they used to and some songs are slowed down and Billie can't hit some notes as effortlessly as he did 15 years ago, but that's just life. Man can still sing, play guitar and pull off awesome show. I wont take that for granted. Billie's vocals peak was definitely in 2009-2011 period. I've seen some recent comments of how Billie's 2004 vocals were better, but I disagree with that. Just listen beginning of this video. Man could sing and he did it so well.

  30. It’s so cool to see them out of their comfort zones performing so many songs that aren’t fully ingrained in their muscle memory yet! Mistakes and all! Mike particularly looked like he was having fun playing the new stuff. Looked like a great show and I’m hyped for the tour! I wouldn’t mind a club show in Chicago either 👀.

  40. Ok, I knew the song 1981 was about just letting loose like it’s 1981 and I can think of a million reasons why 1981 would be awesome for everyone but then thought of Billie and/or Green Day specifically. If this has been said already I apologize. No time to read all threads now a days. I can think of several but politically 1981 was the year before Reaganism. Personally to him, it was the end of his actual youth as his father died, probably along with a big part of him in September of 1982 (making 1981 his last care free year at the young age of 10.) He also met Mike the following year in 1982 and 1981, August 1st was also the year that MTV launched, eventually a foreshadow to their massive fame which Billie seems to enjoy). Just some random thoughts today. “She’s gonna bang her head like it’s 1981”. Get it. BTW, this was the first song MTV aired on that day. Very appropriate. And made in 1979…
