Green Day - X-Kid - Live in Berkeley

Green Day - X-Kid - U.C. Berkeley, Live, 4-16-13, front row, Greek Theatre. Billie Joe: "It's such a trip to think that all of these songs are basically from here... or about here, I should say."
Other Tidbits:
Over 60 fans camped out overnight so that they would get a spot in the 1st row center. This actually worked out well for the many fans who came up from L.A. because that way they didn't have to spring for a hotel room! :P
Billie Joe frequently put on many of the items that the fans threw on stage, items such as hats, feather boas, sunglasses, and a 924 Gilman bumper sticker, which Billie then attached to his guitar during '2000 Light Years Away'. Green Day got its start at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California.
Several of Billie Joe's relatives also came to this concert. One person in my group recognized and then met a few of Billie's brothers and sisters while we were waiting in line, and his nephew was also there, and he was later brought up on stage during the set's second song.
After the 10th song, Billie Joe took a pair of requests from the audience, saying that that "we'll play anything you want." 'Geek Stink Breath' and '2000 Light Years Away' were the winners.
Because the Greek Theatre has a 10pm curfew, Green Day started much earlier than usual at 7:30, when it was still light out.

Underated song. What a shame.

[@leewhitworth9142]

I think the audience will beg to differ :)

[@dannhmora]

Weird thing ¡Tré! is the worst album of the trilogy and has probably the best 3 songs (X-Kid, Brutal Love, The Forgotten)

[@powerdolphin825]

@@dannhmora personally i like Tre the most, it’s one of my all time favorite albums, Uno is second, still VERY good and underrated, better than Insomniac and Nimrod IMO, Dos is garbage though

[@dannhmora]

@@powerdolphin825 whoa, I didn't expect that jajaja That's the good thing about GD, comes in many flavors and colors for anyone

[@sachapavlica2609]

The whole trilogy was absolutely overrated at the beginning and then completely underrated... Only Green Day freaks know 😂

[@teinkie5091]

Probably one of their best songs. Period.

[@peterfroloff]

teinkie there are so many badass songs on the trilogy. It gets so much shit for “not being punk” but it’s literally punk as fuck!

[@lambandham]

Absolutely!

[@ketchupbottlegd6611]

If you are going to film a concert, THIS is how you do it! Great sound too! thanks.

[@vengeens]

Oh yeah! Great video!

[@dexdion1678]

this dude is a living legend already and also his band. He's getting old but his music stays precious as gold.

[@KlonESK]

The fans sang along with him the whole way through, and that somehow made it much more moving. Green Day really know how to capture and relay emotion. :")

[@thisnamehasnoreason]

Shout out to never hearing this song live ever again, it breaks my heart.

[@placyd]

trilogy's ded

[@sainbowrixsiegetom665]

When I heard it I cried because of how much I loved it

[@Shilvic1]

my favorite song of Green Day, and the best off of ¡Tre!

[@thecrimsonskull6206]

Best fan made live video ever! It's so stable and for once actually WATCHABLE

[@killawhale8726]

easily the best song from the uno dos tre trilogy

[@KobraaaKid]

The best song on the trilogy, everytime I hear this song I love it that little bit more, absolutely amazing. Wish they still played it live!

[@placyd]

kinda hated the fact that Billie and the Gang might just forget about the trilogy at this point , barely any mentions of it coming back live haha

[@adammarchese2690]

This performance literally gave me goosebumps. I love this so much I swear, it really makes you think about what you want to do in life and where you want to end up, and how you're going to get there. This band saves lives, and millions haven't even met them in real life, they have that large of an impact. ♥

[@peterfroloff]

This crowd is so fucking epic. They know literally every word. Awesome

[@tavinhovid]

I still can't fucking believe you can actually hear the guitar strings.

[@seancharles1595]

It's a Rickenbacker guitar. They jangle even when they are still wood on the tree.

[@devilsoffspring5519]

The guitar is close to the microphone, so you'll hear some of the string sound directly. It doesn't make any difference what brand of guitar it is :)

[@georgefowles]

Hope they bring back trilogy songs to play live like this one at some point...

[@madhavojha6262]

years after today , when the most ambitious rock n roll band to have played would retire , they will release a greatest hits compilation , and boy will that be the best compilation to ever be compiled .

[@muhammadilhamilham92]

really miss this somg and watch this live❤

this was the first concert i ever went to, best night of my life to tell you the truth

[@jonroberts2760]

one of my top 5 concert going experiences. this song brought me to tears that night. and did it agin watching this. thanks for sharing

[@mrhashbrown8283]

God what I would give to hear trilogy songs live again

[@gdfever1]

Amazing day of my life. As soon as Mike held his arm up as a cross my arms shot straight up to mimic him like it was instinct. I was in awe. My first time seeing my heroes in the flesh, I will never forget :')

[@jojofornication7324]

If you bring uno dos tre down to one album is a masterpiece of feel good sad rock. Either way, love this song, criminally underrated

[@normaj8843]

That noise the strings on the Rickenbacker makes... damn lol

[@caitlin395]

i love billy all together

[@NatS3703]

Really good video! My favorite song of the trilogy, I as so happy when they played it in London :Dxx

YEET BEST SONG EVERRRRR

[@missmomsen4979]

I was there :')

[@user-fe1ke6qe7f]

GREAT~!

[@BlocktorwhoUnlimited]

It's a shame the trilogy as a whole doesn't really live up to American Idiot or 21st Century Breakdown. I love this song and A Little Boy Named Train so much, but they never really play them live anymore because the trilogy isn't as popular. I saw them in concert and they didn't play any of the trilogy, just Dookie, American Idiot, and a little bit of Rev Rad and 21st Century

[@nrffilms1740]

They did Nuclear Family not to long ago, and they do some Kerplunk stuff and like maybe one or two from from 1,039/smooth and Warning

[@salt4045]

Uno was a great album dos was bad and tre was ok

[@noobguitarist843]

holy crap didnt expect to see billie with a rickenbacker

[@zenunderground]

The studio cut of this song fucks me up everytime I decide to listen to it.. What happened on the radio side? It such an amazing single, and a strong, moving piece of music. It's weird that Geek Stink Breath would be developed and this song wouldnt.. Some industry asshole made a bad call here. I've relistened to this song for an hour tonight..its so, nostalgic..like the pumpkins 1979!

[@D7URY]

You got a link?

[@inkedhinata2314]

This song has me fucked up. I love it.

[@yannickjohn6930]

A Rickenbacker Guitar? Wish I was in the concert, front row!

[@robertaferrera5386]

Billie with that Rickenbacker it's fucking epic

[@martintemelkov]

for the first time in history ^__^

[@martintemelkov]

very true though - they did and I was about 20 ft away from the stage.

[@jacobofyau5951]

Could have used this song more, look how to the people responded

[@CrewNeckT]

I think its their best song since Whatsername

[@KlonESK]

Just reminding you there's a difference between best and your personal favourites. Both songs are my favourites too, but I wouldn't say Whatsername was good enough to stand on its own as a single.

[@CrewNeckT]

I don't know, Whatsername is pretty great

[@timthekillermiller1]

@crewneck_t Definitely agree man!! same with letterbomb i love that song!!

[@theevildrummingsithlord1492]

Why did Billie run towards the back during the guitar solo?

To drink some water, or spit some saliva, or tune his guitar/change on another one, or to fart or sneeze

Seriously ? You watch the video, and you really think he's playing on the 9th fret ? That's the problem i have with internet tabs, most of them are shit, and no ore care about...

[@Blackwolf14k]

Ikr, thats not 9th fret at all. I figured it out though!

[@dropdee9930]

those Tabs are correct tho! they are starting on the 7th fret, not on the 9th and if you move over on the fretboard ist the same tone, just a different spot on the fretboard

[@WillThePill98]

he should turn up the amp vol a lil bit

it's jeff not dave...

It sucks that the trilogy as a whole sucked, there are a few gems in those albums but they never play them live anymore because Revolution Radio is a hundred times better. I'd kill to see X-Kid, Stray Heart, and Nuclear Family played live

revolution radio has better songs? like which ones? i disagree
