Green Day are a great live band. I was wary cuz of all the sell-out talk, but I've still been a fan since Dookie, and couldn't let seeing them live pass me by. I shouldn't have been. I highly recommend catching these guys live.I'm moving away from getting floor tickets unless the band is known for a great live show AND I'm a big fan. Otherwise it's just too exhausting; all that standing around before the show. But, for Green Day, I couldn't imagine sitting down or watching them at a distance and not experiencing the crowd energy down on the floor. It was totally worth it.
Among many, many things, Green Day are great at audience participation. There were no less than 4 different fans brought up on stage, one to even share guitar duties. While some lucky young fans were singled out, Billie Joe and the boys made sure everyone had a great time: energetic performances, pyrotechnics, lots of banter with the audience and leading us in sing-a-longs. The experience both lived up to and exceeded my expectations and made me feel like a young punk kid again. Perfect. Thank you Green Day.
