Green Day Concerts !

[johnnydamage]

I feel sorry i lost some show tickets i've been to . I moved like 8 times in 20 years , and i have no clue of where they are . Do you keep your concert tickets
 
What green day concerts did you go to  , lay down yer list in here !

1994 - Auditorium de Verdun , Montreal , went with my 21 yo aunt , didn't see a lot of what was going on , but had a good time though , i was wondering what was that smell ? ticket missing 
1995 - Colisee de Quebec , Quebec City . (3 days before the referendum , BJ came for the encore totally naked and got arrested , crowd was totally fucked up , craziest green day show i saw in my life , don't think i would have survive this on the floor at a young age (12 ) , i was sitting in the arena .By far the fastest , angriest , and most violent Green Day concert ever , man there was tension in the air , hard drugs were strong in these days , and people were fighting and getting fucked up pretty bad around .
1997 - Parc Jean Drapeau , Montreal , Edgefest . Short Gig , Green Day caused a long delay between bands , they burned the stage and instruments . Total Chaos ! I was near the soundman tent , and i was hypnotize by some Muchmusic VJ huge breast .
2001 - Metropolis , Montreal . Played with Blink 182 , met a super nice girl at the door , but i passed out too drunk , got my lip cut really bad falling on the ground . Not a lot of memories ,26 oz southern comfort got things blurry !
2005 - Colisée Pepsi , Quebec City  . Didn't have any trouble getting front stage , as i was used to street punk and hardcore gigs , background was awesome , listened to 75 % of the gig elbows on the fence . I was trying to hide behing a big man to tie my shoe , but he didn't get it , didn't know what i was trying to do around the moshpit , so he got mad and kicked my head , 10 stiches but good times.I had the chance to dance a bit on basket case and longview before i get hurt. I had an interview at 7 a.m. the next day for a really good job , missed it as i went out to the bars after the gig .
2005 - Parc Jean Drapeau , Montreal . Outdoor gig , 65 000 assistance. Brought my young 12 year old cousin , we had a great time , but maybe the worst green day show i saw , didn't like the setlist . Couldn't get closer with a kid under my responsability
2010 - Agora de Qubec , Quebec City . Outdoor gig , 7000 places , awesome crowd and awesome gig , they played over 3 hours , and played some old materials , songs i never heard live before . Front stage for this one too . Heard 1,000 hours , 2,000 light years away , coming clean , no pride , geek stink breath , nice guys finish last , the grouch , and few more old songs . Awesome !
2013 - Colisée de Quebec , another 3 hours gig , with lots of old material , figured out i was old for the first time . When to this show right after leaving a 10 years relationship girlfriend , leaving a house and my dog behind me , but didn't give a fuck , coz i was going to green day . Got drunk pretty bad during this one too , but i still remember everything crystal clear . They played a lot of old stuff too , 80 , 86 , welcome to paradise and a few more .

I missed the warning tour , don'teven know if they came to my area . I've been growing up following this band , and all shows i went to , was a fuckin' great experience .

Nice stories man!

2002 Wembley Arena London was my first Green Day Show, off the back of the pop disaster tour, i went with my dad as i would have been 13 or 14 years old, they opened with Maria which is cool because i think thats the only time ive caught that one live, i live just outside london and i remember the van i was in that my dad sorted to get us home broke down somewhere and my mum was pissed because she had to drive and get us

2005 Brixton Academy London, wow that was an amazing show, brixton is my favorite venue to see bands, it has a slight slope in the floor so even if your at the back you can see the stage, did my first crowd surf at this gig

2005 Hammersmith Apollo London, this was just like a week after the brixton gig and hammersmith is also a small venue, really enjoyed this one too, the train journey to get there was a nightmare though as we got on the first stop on the hammersmith and city line which is Barking, and it was like 27 stops it took forever, so many easier routes to take aswell

2010 Wembley Stadium London, this was an epic gig really, a huge stadium and a great set list - me and my friends smoked a fat zoot before going in and i remember going crazy cos they played Waiting and Geek Stink Breath one after the other!

2013 Reading Festival - What can i say this for me was just so good, Dookie in full was played and the band seemed so tight as well - really impressive

I have all of my ticket stubs still and i have them for every band ive seen too !

2000 - Wembley Arena. First ever gig, so obviously first ever GD gig! Amazing show, lots of old songs played, to feel the crowd move and sway for the first time, and mosh pits for the first time, holds a special place in my heart.

2001 - Reading Festival. First ever festival. Green Day weren't even headlining (!), but still kicked ass of everyone there. Tre torched his drum kit with lighter fluid, and BJ played Macys Day Parade in front of the burning drums...

2002 - Wembley Arena. I had just started a new job that week, traveled 90 miles to the gig, then found out there was a tube strike and I wouldnt make my train back... still went!

2004 - Reading Festival. Headlining this time. I got knocked over in the pit during Longview, honestly thought I was gonna die for a split second. Then got whipped back up by someone who I instantly hugged, then had a mosh/dance with! The entire crowd, after the set had finished, walked out the the arena singing Time of your Life. Beautiful.

2005 (Feb) - Hammersmith Apollo. Small venue, perfect for seeing GD interact with the crowd. One of my favorite gigs.

2005 (June) - Milton Keynes bowl. Massive gig, didnt get as close as I would've liked, but awesome all the same.

2005 (July) - T In The Park, Scotland. Flew to Scotland for this, they were awesome as always!

2010 - Wembley Stadium. Epic gig. Great songs, great crowd, sit-down mosh pits, epic.

2012 - Shepherds Bush (secret gig). Tiny venue (2500), all new stuff from the Trilogy that nobody had heard live yet, truely amazing. Tre came out first and played All By Myself!!! I'm also in the promo video for Tre at this gig!

2013 - Emirates Stadium. My wife was 6 months pregnant, which meant for the first time ever we wouldn't be standing at a gig... not that that stopped me! The looks we were getting from people while dancing and singing at the top of my voice to "Knowledge" was priceless!


I have all my ticket stubs, I also keep a memento from every gig. I've got Green Day confetti from a couple, toilet paper from BJ's toilet paper gun from Shepherds Bush, stuff like that

Awesome Ronin youve been to some really goods concerts there

Worst regrets of my life

1) Not seeing Green Day at Shepherds Bush (secret gig)
2) Not seeing Green Day at Brixton academy last year the gig before Reading
3) Not seeing FBHT in Islington (secret gig)

hurts me big time

This is a great post!!

My first show - hordern pavilion - 2000

Was such a small show compared to what they do now. They played Waiting which is one of my favourite tracks so that made my night!

Sydney Superdome - 2005

Probably my worst experience at a green day gig. Had to put up with simple plan as the support act and couldn't get floor tickets so I was stuck in the bleachers. In saying that they played a pretty solid set

Sydney cricket ground - 2005

This was the final show for their American idiot tour so they busted out some extra some extra tracks. Almost got chosen to play drums for knowledge, the guy in front of me got pulled up on stage! Absolute awesome night!

Acer Arena - 2009

Epic set, seeing tre bust out dominated love slave is always good fun! The encore of American idiot and Jesus of suburbia was the best performance I've seen from them

Soundwavefestival - 2014

Rumour was they would play dookie in full on this tour so I was a little disappointed when they didnt, but as always they rocked the house down.

Gutted I missed the 2 secret shows. Goat island I have seen the video of, they throw tres drums in to Sydney harbour, pretty awesome. The captain cook hotel show I missed the announcement by 10 min!

I know the feeling GeekStinkBreff, I've a few regrets too:

1) Missing out on the 2nd night at Hammersmith Apollo (American Idiot played in full)
2) Missing out on Reading last year (Dookie in full)

But I did get in some good ones like the 2nd night at Milton Keynes (Homecoming in full), Reading 2004 (lots of covers, I Fought The Law, Blitzkrieg Bop, Ever Fallen In Love, We Are The Champions), so, Y'know, can't complain really

First show I went to was Bochum, Germany 2004. They played a few shows in Germany before the actual release of american idiot. Small venue, I had to buy tickets on ebay for a lot of money. Show was awesome, they played Who wrote Holden Caulfield.

www.setlist.fm/setlist/green-day/2004/zeche-bochum-germany-43d67793.html

In total been to 17 or 18 green day shows in Belgium, Netherlands, France, Germany and the UK. Shows in Germany and the UK are the best because of the crowd. They just get it, and the band reacts to it.

I also went to this show at E-werk in Cologne in 2009. This was a small show before the actual 21st century breakdown tour. This was a show for radio contest winners only. But the official green day site said first 100 people there would also get it. Me I my girlfriend booked this hotel in Cologne. Went there in the middle of the night.. spent hours there, alone. In the morning someone from the organization said nobody without tickets would get in. Green day site was wrong. We told her we booked this hotel and had sat there all these hours. So she let us in anyway. Free show!
