alienlifeform Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 well, I agree that in a set with 30 + songs if they play like 2 ou 3 rare ones in between their hits wouldn't kill the energy of the concert, it will just turn the night even more special. I really don't like the machanical well rehearsed set they are doing nowadays. They always talk about to challenge themselves, they should do it live.
GugsGreenDay Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I also think it shows that they are doing today is very rehearsed, those machines shoot shirt, water play in the people and all that stuff in the middle of "Hitchin 'a Ride" and "brain stew" for me is bullshit. This time they would lose doing this to play some older songs.
Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Having seen GD live loads of times and then four times last summer I felt like they were sort of just going through the motions somehow. It would have helped if they varied the setlists more...even they seemed bored. Just had to add that though it's off topic. On topic- Joey did an awesome job judging by those clips! Nice going!
Hermione Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 "Nowadays"? They've literally always had rigid setlists that they stick to night after night and played the same selection of songs from each album and done the same schtick during songs during a given tour . They've never mixed up their setlists very much. Go on setlist fm and compare some setlists from the Dookie tour or Nimrod tour or any of their tours or watch videos of the same song from different shows of the same tour, they didn't change then either!

Even though there might have been a few different songs, the main show would be about the same, and he didn't want to see the same show over again. (Okay, I'm of a different opinion but that's just the difference in our fan levels!)
solongfromthestars Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 They might not vary their setlists much but they've never seemed bored or like they're going through the motions when I've seen them, even in KFAD. Seems a bit extreme, the only time I've heard that (before this thread) was a few times when the crowd was really bad.
Guest Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 I definitely got the "going through the motions" vibe off Billie at Brixton last year. Mike and Tré seemed a bit quiet at the start too but they got into it. Billie might as well have been on another planet.

No, use the GDT live guide http://www.gdtorrent.com/live_guide.php Far more accurate and comprehensive than Setlist.fm or GDA.
Jollyroger118 Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Green Day still can't play at Gilman, but it's only because they have a rule against any major label bands playing, it's nothing personal. It's fine (and always has been fine) for the members of Green Day to go to shows there or play there in non major label bands, they weren't banned they just can't play there as Green Day. They might have felt unwelcome there when they first signed to a major label and got big because some of the people there had a problem with it but I'm pretty sure that was all over with years ago, Billie's played there with Pinhead Gunpowder as well and they support it and go to see shows there regularly. I agree it'd be cool to see this project play there! Actually Green Day played there in 2001 but they weren't supposed to, they sort of just took the stage and nobody stopped them. It was just the three of them and they only played songs from Dookie and before. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uABXKwkYiLI
Tubbie Head Posted June 17, 2014 Posted June 17, 2014 Jeez no videos of Walking Alone? This is just like the Dreamforce thing where they played Peacemaker and a couple others that we didn't get a video of.

It was just the three of them and they only played songs from Dookie and before. They only got away with that because it was basically a glorified stage invasion

But they can't "officially" play there, like they couldn't book a show.They might not vary their setlists much but they've never seemed bored or like they're going through the motions when I've seen them, even in KFAD. Seems a bit extreme, the only time I've heard that (before this thread) was a few times when the crowd was really bad.Whereas now you hear it because since Billie's rehab people are looking out for differences and seeing them when they're not there

Just like this is. There's an audio recording of the whole Dreamforce show - screw video in that case^^ Unfortunately THAT gig was completely secret, I guess. Otherwise some people would have prepared themselves

moonflower93 Posted June 29, 2014 Posted June 29, 2014 Not that anyone cared about him in 2001 anyways lol @ jason
Jon Benjamin Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Not that anyone cared about him in 2001 anyways Or now... I'm actually a Jason fan
