LisaBJA Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 wow, this is pretty cool, and the pics are so great!
Hero_Of_The_Hour Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 I just realised Jason wasn't there. I know he wasn't around during the recording of Dookie but now that he's an official member imo he is equally entitled to be present when the mayor is making the proclamation.

21guns&novacaine Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 HOW DID I MISS THIS?! I had to go on a road trip for a 4-H project and present a class at the leaders' conference, and was driving all Friday night... Shame.
unextraordinarygirl Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 I'm glad I have the original Dookie to listen to, because those covers were aweful!

I thought all the ones I heard were pretty cool. It is really nice to hear a different and diverse take on a familiar song. Plus, what an honor that all these bands wanted to show their version of these great songs. It is so respectful.

I loved the whole concept of the thing and the creativity that went into the covers. Green Day's level of participation was very classy. They were respectful and appreciative of the other performers, and they made it really special and fun with their presence and reception of the mayor's "Green Day Day". Billie's speech was just great. I especially loved how he encouraged young people to PLAY MUSIC and express themselves, in any way they choose! I am a music teacher in a public high school and I wish that ALL kids could get that message. Too many kids get so involved in the consumption of bad quality media, be it crappy music, shows, whatever. I love it when I get those kids who find joy in expressing themselves with music.
desertrose Posted February 21, 2016 Posted February 21, 2016 Tribute to Green Day’s “Dookie” | February 19, 2016 UnderCover paid tribute to Green Day’s breakthrough album, Dookie, with an evening of music at Oakland’s Fox Theater performed by an eclectic line-up of musicians, each putting their own twist on one of the classic tracks. To top it off, the event served as a platform for fundraising activities for 924 Gilman St., the all-ages club where Green Day got their start. With 14 bands and 15 songs, the event organizers managed to keep the event running like clockwork, videos and speakers filling the time between performances. That might not sound like a significant feat, but with acts including a 90 piece orchestra and a 35 piece band/choral ensemble, there was most definitely nothing easy about it. The line-up included La Plebe, Skank Bank, Tilt and Love Songs … all bands that should be familiar to the regular Gilman goer. But musical styles diverged sharply from there, reaching an extreme with MC RAI who performed Sassafras Roots in Arabic to a shocked a crowd that still managed to muster a mosh. Otherwise, the songs were recognizable to anyone familiar with the album but particularly impressive were The Fuxedos who completely embraced the song Basket Case in a way that none of the other bands could touch. The highlight of the show, and the moment that many had been waiting for, came after NVO’s electronic auto-tuned rendition of When I Come Around, when Mike, Billie Joe and Tre joined Oakland mayor Libby Schaff on stage to receive an official proclamation making February 19, 2016 “Green Day Day.” The mic drop by Schaff after reading through the proclamation had the band and the crowd in stitches. While many had hoped to see Green Day bust out a few songs, it was sadly not to be. When the curtain opened for the encore, the stage was absolutely packed with some 150-odd performers who wrapped the night with Dookie’s hidden track and ode to masturbation, All By Myself. http://www.digitaldiversion.net/2016/02/tribute-to-green-days-dookie-february-19-2016/

There's no indication that he wasn't entitled to be there. He's also entitled not to be there . Just because he now plays on albums as an equal member it doesn't mean he has to play the same role as the other members in other ways, he never has so it's not surprising when he doesn't. Thanks for all the pics, loads of great ones!
desertrose Posted February 22, 2016 Posted February 22, 2016 this got a little weird, the other night.
