Wouldve been a great opportunity for some deep cuts but ohwell they were hammered enough haha

Jason teased a bit of Broadway after Father of All and then tried to start Platypus after RevRad, but that got shot down pretty quick

Did The Longshot also play?

They essentially did. David was on drums, Kevin on guitar and Greg Schneider on bass who maybe has replaced Jeff. So call this Longshot 2.0

[Biddymc]

No Jeff again.  Interesting.

Lol, I read that is defecation!  Different but the same.

[penbreaker]

Am I wrong or Jason play few notes from his band California? Around 7:00. 

[Biddymc]

I have no idea.  Someone who was there would have to verify.  I thought it odd that he was not at the event at all, so if he was at least there or his band played, that would be very different.

Billie Joe is definitely hammered in this show. I bet he hasn't been this hammered on live show since iHeart perfomance back in 2012. Hopefully he is still ok.

I haven’t watched any of the videos yet but reading this, I don’t even want to. Maybe I’m the only one, but if the price for sounding as great as they do right now is that Billie is going down that road again, I’m not ready to pay it. Sober RevRad Billie was perfect enough for me. The bad feeling I had from the very start of this era keeps intensifying, and this doesn’t help. Yeah I know the whole topic is the Voldemort of GDC that mustn’t be named so I’ll leave it at that.

If it helps, despite my reputation here as the GDC worry wart, I can hopefully ease your mind and tell you that to me he did not look that “hammered” either during or after the show in the clips I’ve seen.  He was drinking beer steadily but seemed very much in control and no more tipsy than everyone else on the stage. Judge for yourself, but to me the Oakland Coverups show of October of last year was way worse than this. This was not iHeart level drunk by any means.

I mean he wasn't as gone as he was during Irving Plaza or iHeartRadio but definitely more ''open'' as I would say.

You're not the only one. There's no way they sound so good because of That TM, it didn't seem to me that it helped in the past. I'm conflicted. I can't fully enjoy this even though the show is fun and exciting (still need to properly watch the videos), because I've seen this before and it's also been fun back then, until it wasn't and I really don't want that to happen again and that's hard to forget about.

At the same time, I believe it's unfair to look at things anyone does and be like "oh I like this if only you were acting in a way I'd like better"...I mean, they sound absolutely amazing, the shows are fun and so far, it doesn't seem like he's badly out of control, so I believe now is the time to enjoy the ride and worry later if there'll be a reason to.

Most importantly, is this grey hair or just light?

Also what's up with the mustaches, what the fuck!!! Who came up with that

It's the light and they all had moustaches.  Mike had a bunch of sharpies with him and was passing them out trying to get everyone to draw them on their face.

I feel like some of you guys have been watching totally different videos than I did. Billie sounded fine on Stop Drop and Roll maybe, but that's it. The rest of the show was a mess. The band (especially Tré) fucked up everything they could and Billie didn't sound good at all to me compared to the other shows of this era. I agree that previous performances so far were stunning and I noticed some improvement in Billie's voice, but this show was not nearly as good. I'm taking it for what it was though, sort of a family reunion and Tré's birthday party more than anything. Of course it was fucking amazing to have all side projects + Green Day play at a single show and I honestly found it hilarious that they messed up so much, given that they're always so tight. They weren't taking this seriously and the performance was affected by that. They don't care and I don't either, it must have been a blast.

Don't know how to feel about this show. Can't imagine what they'll do on New Year's Eve.

I guess I’ve gotten used to it seeing so many Longshot and Coverup shows.  Forgetting lyrics and messing up has become a pretty regular feature at these shows that has turned into a running joke. This was no worse than any of a dozen shows Billie’s done over the past two years, drunk or sober.  I think he needs to seriously start thinking about a teleprompter because whatever the cause (booze, ADHD, insomnia, etc.) it’s starting to leak over into Green Day shows as well. 

[realDonaldTrump]

post the setlist already please 

[Rumpelstiltskin2000]

 

Don't think these have been posted in here yet

[Billie Joes Eyelids]

Lol the hand on the hips sass pose.

[Doggins]

Geez guys relax, they're just having fun

[HAPPY ZOMBIE UNICORN]

All I see is a kickass band having fun and celebrating with a huuuuuge awesome set list. They’re playing the Tiki bar not the Grammy awards, let them be  

P.s. I don’t think an iphone video can really give justice to this kind of show, you have to be there and I really hope one day I’ll be able to see them in this kind of setting 😭
