ColinOr Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I find it unusual that it seems Having A Blast has never been performed live. There is no video of it, no audio of it (well, some claim to be live audio, but it's the demo version) so it leads to the assumption that it's never been performed live. I find it strange because Dookie is a massive selling album and Having A Blast is a strong track. Has there ever been a reason stated why Green Day have never performed the song live?
Catpiss Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I have no idea, but I guess some people will find it scary listening to a concert and suddenly hear "No one here is getting out alive" Maybe that's the reason?
aahhhh Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 The video is of something totally different - but the song has definitely been played live.
djrossstar Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I saw it at two soundchecks ... Carson Daly NYE Special and Chula Vista 2010.
MrLund96 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Well, the video proofs it's been played life, but I'd be very surprised if that was the only time..
localinsomniac Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 There's a live version of it in the Dookie demos. I think it was from a label showcase or something like that?
ThibautDookie Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydGJe0di8qo&feature=plcp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IQJZwVTHbw&feature=plcp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIeHuBQb7CU&feature=plcp It's a shame that they don't play more songs from Dookie besides Basket Case, Burnout, When I Come Around, Longview and Welcome to Paradise. They need to play more songs from that record

porksoda Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Yeah, like rossstar said. They played it at Carson Daly's New Years Eve event. Played Burnout and then went right into Having A Blast.
djrossstar Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Also played Sassafras at Carson Daly & Favorite Son! Soundcheck was better than setlist!
Todd Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I have two live versions and three demos. That's a fair amount. And is there a video/audio of the soundcheck? I'd love to hear those!
yenom2003 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Also played Sassafras at Carson Daly & Favorite Son! Soundcheck was better than setlist! I remember this soundcheck, although I was in an area where I could just hear it. Did you actually get to see it or just heard it? I got excited because I thought they were going to play those rare songs during the actual show.
Guest Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Was also played at the soundcheck for the Chula Vista show in 2010, and almost certainly played numerous times during early Green Day shows that we just don't have records of. Seriously, dude, the info in this thread was in the first page of search results. Will you ever learn?
Jon Benjamin Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Is there a video of them doing favorite son love from that?
Guest Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 They played it at the Shoreline show in 2010 during soundcheck as well. It made me very happy.
porksoda Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Also played Sassafras at Carson Daly & Favorite Son! Soundcheck was better than setlist! The sound check was amazing, even with Billie forgetting the lyrics to Nice Guys Finish Last. I got into an argument with a blogger a while back who said they've never played Sassasfras live. I was like, "Dude, I was there."

That's why I stay on GDC, and don't venture near the amatuers on the rest of the interwebs. Some of them try telling you that AI came out in 05. Like, seriously?
alecandstuff Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Pretty sure "Panic Song" has never been played live, to my knowledge anyways....
ThibautDookie Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I think that they never played Bab's Uvula's Who ?, is there any live performance ? I'd like to heard those soundchecks, anyone have links ?
Todd Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 ...and now this has turned into the "Have they played ____ live?" thread. Please, nobody ask for any shenanigans songs live, cause all there is is an Outsider recording. ...and a Dont Want To Fall In Love demo. Really wish an On The Wagon demo was on the dookie demos too
The Disappearing Boy Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I do remember someone (maybe a member on here?), saying that bab's uvula who was played once like in 96 or 95, but that's it. I;ve never heard anything about Panic Song.
gd86arg Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 You forgot She she and coming clean and fuck off and die, and a few times pulling teeth and all by myself Pretty sure "Panic Song" has never been played live, to my knowledge anyways.... they played panic song (instrumental) between brain stew and jaded in a few gigs...
localinsomniac Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 she and coming clean and fuck off and die, and a few times pulling teeth and all by myself they played panic song (instrumental) between brain stew and jaded in a few gigs... I mentioned she because that's been a staple of the set list since '94. Coming Clean, FOD, etc., are somewhat rare, sadly. They've never played Panic Song, to the best of my knowledge. What you're thinking of is just an interlude between Brain Stew and Jaded so BJ can interact with the crowd.
