Sound: Wow! What can I say - amazing, Billie Joe sung just like it was right off the album. Throughout the whole concert and his voice never buched. The whole set sounded amazing, from Tre's amazing drums skills to Jason freeze skill on the trombone. The had a sax player a keyboardest, and two other guitarist including Jason White. I could hear word for word, maybe because I was singing all of them but they were awesome. By far the most clear sounding band that I have ever seen in concert. // 10
Perfomance: What can you say about a Green Day audience - crazy, crazy, crazy. The floor went insane from when American Idiot came on to the final note of Good Riddance. Here's a list of the songs they played:
01. American Idiot - perfect opening song, got the crowd going.
02. Jesus Of Suburbia - nine minutes of magic.
03. Holiday - a crowd fav.
04. Are We The Waiting - the first song where the lighters came out, everyone sang with Billie.
05. St. Jimmy - one of the craziest songs of the night, pits everywhere.
06. Longview - insane, Billie brought out blue starting at this song.
07. Hitchin A Ride - not a crowd fav, but a good song and performed well.
08. Brain Stew - wow, whole place sang the words.
09. Jaded - other then St. Jimmy the wildest song of the night, upbeat Green Day the best.
10. She - didn't seem like many people knew it but still they got into it.
11. Basketcase - crowd pleaser, and performed very very well.
12. King For A Day - one of my personal favorites. He put the kings cap on and sung it beautifuly.
13. Knowledge - Operation Ivy cover that at the end Billie made a fan band on stage.
14. Shout Isley Brothers cover, kinda weird that they played it but still good.
15. Minority - last song before the encore, amazing, everyone was off the floor.
Encore:
16. Maria - off Inter. Superhits, great song performed very well.
17. Boulevard Of Broken Dreams - lighters came out and everyone sang along.
18. We Are The Champions - amazing Queen cover, Billie hitting a high note, awesome.
19. Good Riddance - played on electric but was great all the same. Last song of the night.
Throughout the whole concert different lights and flames were on the stage, pictures of people and lots of flames it got really hot in there, it was already hot from all the sweaty people, it just made it worse. Before the concert a drunk bunny came out and did the Ymca, then Blitzkrieg Bop comes on the pa and thats when you know there coming out. Throughout the concert Billie Joe led everyone in about 100 hey oh chants and dogged the president on numerous occations. The moved around the stage alot and I was about two feet from then at one piont in time. Billie started jacking in the middle of Hitchin A Ride and some people got in a fight and Billie stopped the show. The people were right next to me. What else can I say about it - the best concert that I have ever been too and would definitly pay a lot of money to see them again. Oh and at the end green day confudy went all through the venue and I picked some up aqt the end. // 10
Impression: USA, Columbus, Value City Arena, 5/5/05. My Chemical Romance opened up and supringly they weren't bad. You really couldn't here the singer very much and at one point there was no lights and you couldn't see them. But they only played about 25 minutes. I don't think you could hate anything about that concert, it was perfect in everyway. The tickets were about 35$ without he service charge. And I would have pay alot more for those tickets as close as I was and how good of a band they are. Every moment of the concert was unforgettable, Billie doing a solo behing his back, the little girl getting on stage shooting squirt gun. I will defintily go to there next gig even if it's not in Columbus, like in August when they come to Dayton. // 10
