26 years ago (26 August 1998), Green Day played Rock City in Nottingham, England on the Nimrod Tour. I cannot believe Green Day ever played shitty old Rock City with the sticky floors. @Rumpelstiltskin2000 didn't you have a colleague who went on about them playing Christie Road at this show and going to the pub with them afterwards? Was the Tesco in the Vic Centre mentioned or was that something else? I know we didn't believe him but I don't remember exactly how far-fetched his story was :lol:

33 years ago (26 August 1991), Green Day played the Club Metro in Melbourne, FL.

@solongfromthestarsif I remember right it was an old guy I worked with who found out I liked Green Day and told me he'd seen them at the Distortion Festival back in 2002 and had met and was chatting to Billie at Rock City (in the town centre) later that night. His favourite album was Kerplunk and his favourite song Christie Road.

This one ended up being my first Green Day show ever :wub:

So we left off where I arrived to Miami, the day after what was supposed to be my first Green Day show ever, heart broken that I had missed it due to flight cancellations because of hurricane Katrina passing through Florida. At the time I was in a Green Day forum (I cannot remember what forum this was, it wasn't here nor the Idiot Club, it was a more general forum with sub forums for different bands/artists), and there I knew a girl about my age from NJ. She was going to this show, had some extra tickets, and when I shared the story of what had happened to me she spoke to her parents and they offered us the two extra tickets they had.

Again, I was just shy of 15 years old at the time, and my sister who was going with me (17 years older than I am, so 32 at the time), was terrified when I told her that some random chick on the internet was offering us ticket to see them in NJ. In her mind there was a strong chance this would actually be some creepy old dude trying to kidnap two South American women for human trafficking or something 😂 But seeing how devastated I was, and knowing this was the only way we could make it, as we didn't have money to travel further than Miami AND buy super expensive re-sale tickets for the show (they all had been sold out for months). So she finally agreed to at least check the prices of flights to NJ. Here the universe aligned and we managed to find super cheap flights from Miami to Newark for the day before the concert, and off we went.

We met the girl and her parents, she was real, not an internet creep (I never doubted it, but again I was 15 lol), we got the tickets, we went to the show and it was everything that I had dreamed and hoped it'd be. To be honest I  don't remember a lot of it, I just remember the feeling and how happy I was. It was also my first stadium concert ever and I remember being blown away by the cheer magnitude of everything. We also managed to go on a super quick tour of NYC in one of those buses before flying back to Miami, which totally laid the foundation for convincing to my sister to travel back to NYC and see the city properly (and go to more GD shows) during the 21stCBD tour in 2009 😂

This is such a wholesome story :wub:

I've started adding shows from this tour to previous posts once some photos are available, so if someone looks back at this thread in a few years, the Saviors Tour stuff will be here too.

Anyway, on this day 7 years ago (5 September 2017), Green Day played a backstage benefit set for people affected by Hurricane Harvey.

Yes, that's Billie sniffing his hand after doing his thing in Hitchin' a Ride.

25 years ago (5 September 1999), Green Day played a show for Idiot Club members at Bottom of the Hill in San Francisco, CA. It was the first time they played Church on Sunday. They also played Private Ale for the first time since 1992 and Dry Ice for the first time since 1993. I was surprised to see Desensitized on the setlist, but apparently it was played at two other shows. This was the only time Green Day covered Beat It by Michael Jackson and Nookie by Limp Bizkit though.

29 years ago (5 September 1995), Green Day played in Hamburg, Germany on the Insomniac Tour.

30 years ago (5 September 1994), Green Day played a second night at Lollapalooza in Carson, CA on the Dookie Tour. Billie was also interviewed before the show.

Yeah, it's definitely the only one so far! Looking at my list there are some other dates with just one thing, but I think there are actually only two (25 and 29 December) with nothing at all.

I did miss some things at the beginning though. I'll add them at some point if I don't forget.

...And I just realised I didn't include any Pinhead Gunpowder stuff because I don't care about it. :ninja: I ought to include it though, I suppose...

This is a condensed version of what happened to me before leaving for a few shows on the RevRad USA summer 2017 tour that @solongfromthestarsis talking about above and which is from the "We are Revolution Radio" book of fan stories that she put together. I actually can't believe I did that now!

I have no idea what was going on with the red stuff. I checked out during that era. I do like the album now though.

29 years ago (10 September 1995), Green Day played in Offenbach am Main, Germany on the Insomniac Tour.

30 years ago (10 September 1994), Green Day played in Cuyahoga Falls, OH on the Dookie Tour.

3a91ac49f526a37f0b6dfed352fc48d1f6df44b8

This was a $5 makeup show for the Cleveland one on 23 July 1994 that went to shit. You could also say that this one went to shit, because the barrier separating the lawn from the seats was broken down and when it rained, people started tearing up the lawn and throwing mud at each other. Green Day finished their set though.

31 years ago (10 September 1993), Green Day supported Bad Religion at the Hollywood Palladium.

On this day 5 years ago (12 September 2019), Green Day played Father of All on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

a93c99a024d1f9221c550deca246a800924268d1

They also did the "Jimmy Kimmel's mean tweets" thing. Theirs was "why does Tré Cool from Green Day look like an emo version of Ted Cruz?" Billie said "well, Mike looks like Putin" and he took his sunglasses off to prove it.

c63c77c9b646b1ab6e9458b2e9d9369983ec20c1

Personally, I think that is an unacceptable thing to say. I mean, it's not true! Tré actually looks like David Cameron.

19 years ago (12 September 2005), Green Day played in Indianapolis, IN on the American Idiot Tour.

c1461283af88d1bd229212dfc868731feaa0a371

"I got four tickets from StubHub to see Green Day on September 12th of 05 in Indianapolis. They were at cost too, so I got really lucky. I took my daughter and two of her friends. The tickets were for the floor SRO. We got there early and there was only one person between all of us and the barricade in front of the stage. You just can't do much better than that. I had been to very many concerts and was going on about what to expect with the girls. Caitlin, my daughter, had been on Green Day websites and got the 'down low' of what pretty consistently goes on at a Green Day concert but she didn't tell me. Man, was I in for a rude awakening. It was so exciting to see them in person and they were so good and really put on a show. But the better they were the closer the crowd moved in and the more squashed I got. I was separated from the rest of the girls. I was finally hoping it would end just so I wouldn't die. I was totally crushed. Finally another fan in the crowd noticed me about to pass out and I was guided to the nearest security guard. I was lifted over the barricade right smack in dead center of the cat walk and handed over to the guard by angry fans because I was in their way. Billie Joe Armstrong just happened to be at the tip of the cat walk playing guitar at the time. I looked him right in the eyes as I touched the stage for balance and then I quickly looked away. I was humiliated to have been 'broken' by the young punks. I missed a lot of the show while I was in the back getting oxygen. Billie looking at me was just as exciting as it was humiliating. But I hated missing some of the best parts of the show. I did make it out while they were playing Wake Me Up When September Ends. I had to come back out at the back of the crowd on the floor and then hunt for the girls when the show was over. I was embarrassed to see them because I just knew that they saw me and would go back to school and tell all about what happened to Caitlin's mom. But after finding them and asking them if they saw they said there was too much commotion going on where they were too and they were getting kicked in the head and everything. So they didn't see. It was definitely an unforgettable night." – A fan who attended the show
