7/24/21 - Hella Mega Tour - Opening song - Green Day “American Idiot”

[@richardeaton567]

My 4th Green Day concert. The best one yet. The way Billy Joe takes control of the crowd for 2 hours is beyond comparison. I had goosebumps. I am 65 and have never seen ANYTHING like the performance Green Day put on here. I flew into Lubbock from Vegas and then drove to Arlington with my daughter and husband. AWESOME . Seeing Green Day live should be on everybody's bucket list!!!

[@atomicpunk2360]

They’re amazing!!!! I saw them back in 2017 in Houston and one of the best shows ever (between them or Muse as far as best live act I’ve seen). So I decided to take a trip to Miami and see them there instead of here in Texas, where I actually live, but of course, COVID ruined my plans of getting to do this. But you know how they say “everything happens for a reason?” Now I’m gonna go to Miami to see them, and get to enjoy this trip with my beautiful girlfriend who is also pregnant with my son. Couldn’t be more excited about this!

[@awesomeyoutubehandlewowitslong]

one thing i have noticed with a lot of return concerts, is how energy the band is. they are fucking pumped to be back. rock n roll bands now seem to be insanely able to control the crowd because they know the crowd is a dedicated group.

[@Duggan1992]

I've seen them 3 times and always put on an amazing show! Seeing them the first time, they played for 3 hours! He's ana amazing front man

[@johnnieriot13]

Green Day is the only band I’ve seen that sound better live than on the record.

[@m.j.2291]

Saw them many times 😀... And can't wait to see them again..... The tickets are in my safe... just have to wait 10 month 😒...... I am 61 now....... 62 in 10 month 😑.... I hope I will survive and Covid is history then 😉

Was thinking the same thing. When I saw them on the RevRad tour (2016?), the Shout! routine was the same one I'd seen back in 1998. I resolved after that concert to never see them on a stadium tour again.

Saw them in Miami, Florida a week later, best night of my life

[@emilyyamasaki4968]

Yesterday (the Miami show) was my very first time seeing Weezer, FOB, and Green Day (missed the Interrupters because of parking line) I've been a fan of Fall Out Boy since I was around 8/9 and a fan of Green Day since I was around 6 or so (I've known of Weezer and was actually shocked at how many songs they performed that I knew, but they aren't a band I keep up with much). I was quite overstimulated the whole time (in a good way) since it was my first concert (or big event in general) in almost 2 years. It was so incredibly fun and exciting. I was laughing my ass off at the bunny (I don't know the context behind it) but for some reason when American idiot came on I just started crying tears of joy. IDK why, I just did. I guess because in my eyes, Green Day is like a bucket list band (one that I thought i would never see [and if I did it would be way further in the future]) so I couldn't believe I was actually seeing Green Day. Even after that the whole time Green Day was on stage I just kept saying "wow, that's Green Day on stage. I'm seeing Green Day right now".
