stan the harmonica man Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 I've come to the conclusion that I believe the best GD performance of a song is Homecoming on youtube where Billie tells the guards to be cool and just continues to rock. But I want to know your guys opinion all opinions are appreciated.
Liam Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 That was from KROQ Christmas performance, loved that show. You can't really pick their best performance because theres just so many shows they've done, so many times they perform the songs it would just be so hard to choose. Btw, wrong section
beejeezee Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 All of them? Considering howe long Green Day's been around, and how many shows they've done I think it's impossible to pick just one above all others. Though A single person can have their own favorites, ya know? BY the way this would belong in the Green Day section, if it's even thread worthy, not the intro section. And welcome to GDC!
Nobody Likes Cam Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 I think if I were to pick their best show it would be a tie between the show when Billie Joe did "She" naked in NY or when Billie Joe wore a leopard thong for "King For A Day" in wherever the hell it was...maybe Goat Island...
Zelda Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 There are waaay too many to choose, seriously. And I see that you're new, so welcome to GDC! But a topic like this would belong in Green Day chat.
Sweet Armataged Chump Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 Woodstock, Jaded in Chicago, Bullet in a Bible, Awesome as Fuck (Japan), Goat Island, and the Bizarre Festival.
CaesarSalad Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 my instinct tells me there's probably a thread like this in GD chat but i can't find one. so...i'll just move this and see what happens
StuckWithRob Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTeVELIm8Ec Brain Stew at Reading Festival 2004. If I had to pick one this would be it. Completely amazing. For me, it has everything about Green Day that I love, the comedy - Tre in a priest outfit, Billie forgetting to get back to the mic, the punk edge, 'Blue', their outfits, the crowd and the 'hell, lets have a good time' attitude.
Stormy Haze Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 No, but seriously. Like everyone else has said, they've done MANY shows, each show has something special, unique about it so I really think this is almost impossible to choose.
Hermione Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 Picking the best live show would be hard enough but picking the best perfomance of ONE SONG! Now that's a challenge. There's literally hundreds I could pick. Great idea for a thread, I need to give it some thought before I post one though because I actually can't decide. I think if I were to pick their best show it would be a tie between the show when Billie Joe did "She" naked in NY or when Billie Joe wore a leopard thong for "King For A Day" in wherever the hell it was...maybe Goat Island... This one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keYt9_KeYP4 Or this one? Hehe . They'd be pretty high on my list too. What a fearless, hilarious and wonderfully weird frontman he is! It's quirky stuff like this and never being afraid to be silly that sets them apart.
green day is Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDB_vYlQnRA Amazing performance.
elephantstone Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 We Are the Champions at Reading I think, if we're talking about one song. If not, Static Age on Awesome As Fuck. Love the jazz bit and it's just so uplifting. Truly great song.
Sweet Armataged Chump Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 My favorite from Bullet in a Bible http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCogrg5kYew My favorite solo live.
LauraG Posted July 3, 2011 Posted July 3, 2011 Too many to pick just one! But right now, there’s one that comes to my mind. I don't think it was their best performance but a pretty good one is the show they did for the final performance of AI on Broadway. I know the sound might not be the best quality and not as loud as they normally do but the whole gig is just awesome! Right there you can see the deep connection they have with the audience and how every single GD concert is always a fucking celebration! My favorite songs from that night are Letterbomb, JOS and Holiday. But as I said before, they’re such great performers that it’s almost impossible to choose only one song!
Nobody Likes Cam Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 This one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keYt9_KeYP4 Or this one? Hehe . They'd be pretty high on my list too. What a fearless, hilarious and wonderfully weird frontman he is! It's quirky stuff like this and never being afraid to be silly that sets them apart. The first one
GreenDayisAmazing Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 I love when Billie Joe jumps in the crowd at that one concert to beat the shit out of that Mohawk motherfucker lol.Every Green Day concert rocks!!!
DannyDirnt Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Warning live @ Goat Island for me,I love that song ans it's awesome.Or maybe Welcome to Paradise live @ Tokyo (Awesome as F**k)
Ritalin After Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK9erO5DGEM&list=FLbABnUzBa21K5q3Q7vqVozA&index=4&feature=plpp_video I was jaw dropped when I first watched this...
Ratchet Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 You can't really pick their BEST live performance really. I think honestly for most people it would be the ones they went to. It's a hard question to answer! Did they think he was homeless and in need of clothes or something?!!! But wow Billie can do the screamo voice
