[Montclare]

I'd love Nimrod in its entirety.  And it is its 25 year anniversary.

That's Shenanigans isn't it? Desensitized?

I got it wrong, it was on the Nimrod album

Desensitized is a Nimrod outtake, which is why a baseball bat is mentioned in credits.

Nimrod really is a great period for the band. Wouldn't mind a revisiting of that production and mixing. Arguably their best.

To those that have tix and are going, what is your plan of action? Lining up? If so, when, and where (with it being Will Call)?? Just trying to get a feel, as I will be getting into town around 6 am

Go listen to the first 35 seconds of Desensitized from Shenanigans and then you’ll understand

Enjoy everyone, Chicago is a great city deserving of this very great band! Can't wait to see the setlist/footage! All my best to those attending.

Have fun everyone!

I'm so excited for this show that I was listening to a Green Day playlist on Apple Music today and enjoying trilogy songs! What's wrong with me?  

... also, 99 Revolutions really did not age well.

I was surprised that most others I listened to did though! Maybe I need to give the whole thing another listen.  Maybe we'll hear some at the show?

Expectations: panic song, prosthetic head and suffocate on the setlist! 

Reality: father of all twice because it's too short.

You have to pick the tickets up from the box office at the venue with your ID and the card you used to buy the tickets. Sometimes they do this as you enter the venue

Sooo... does anybody know what hotel they may be staying at? 👀

I have no idea where to line up. Will Call……the front of the venue……ugh! Who knows……

I just poan on getting into town (in a few hours), driving by the venue, and from there I might go and search out a hotel. Whatever’s closest and affordable is what I’m gonna go with.

Reality will probably end up being the regular set list. 🙁

Oh shit. Now I feel like a dumbass. I thought the original poster was asking where some of us fans would be staying. Goddammit. LOL LOL LOL

About lining up I would imagine there might be people there already? What time is it there? 7.30am? I'd go to the venue and look for the people to see if they're lining up. They might be doing a number system. You might be able to line up and quickly check into a hotel later if someone would save your place for a short while
