Green Day - 86 (Live on Letterman 1995)

20 years and it all went by in a flash ⚡The American Idiot 20th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition is out now 💣💥 Go give it a listen or grab a copy greenday.lnk.to/americanidiot20thdeluxe

[@TheGreenGobshite]

Insomniac is their best record in my opinion. It is raw, aggressive, fast and true. Everything Punk Rock is.

[@NovacaineRebelxx]

Insomniac is definitely their most Punk Rock sounding album they’ve ever released. But as far as their best record.. Insomniac is definitely in my personal top 5 Green Day albums. But in my opinion, I still think American Idiot holds that number 1 spot because of how much of a ambitious project that album truly was. But I honor your opinion, I love Insomniac as well, it’s everything you said it is, raw, aggressive, fast and true. Exactly what Punk Rock is.

My absolute favorite Green Day song! I recorded this live on Letterman. Dave came back from break and said about Tre "Boy I sure hope the water doesn't turn that guy's hair green." I saw GD at Warped Tour in like 2000/2001 and waited all day front row at the guard rail. Billie started asking the crowd for requests and I shouted 86 with all my might. He heard me! He looked down at me and said, "What's that? 86? Tre do you still remember how to play that? Alright this songs called 86!". This is my greatest concert memory of all time!

[@g8btony]

[@D.O.M-music]

Similar story here. They have lost me over the last 20 years unfortunately but from 39 Smooth up until the Shenanigans compilation I absolutely loved them and still occasionally dip back in to their classics. American Idiot has some great songs on it but they just became a different band from that time on, plus after that album their output has been patchy at best. Oh well. We have the memories!

[@devilsoffspring5519]

I doubt that he ever actually plays his first guitar very much. If you see him playing 'Blue' then it's probably a replica, with better pickups and fretwork. The original one was cheap, and it's also probably completely worn out.

My friend and I saw them on this tour when we were 15, it was a school night and we could swear we could hear cymbals crashing down the halls at school the next day, and our ears were ringing for like 2-3 days. I was so obsessed with this band then. I captured this on VHS, and wanted to come watch it now.

Green Day has brought the best moments and memories for me. I’ve met so many new friends, found so many more bands, and have even started bands of my own. They’re the most inspiring group of people I’ve followed through my years on this earth, and I’ll never stop loving them because of it. If you’re reading this Billie, Mike, Tre, and Jason, I love you guys so much. For anyone else, I love you too, I hope they mean as much to you as they mean to me. ❤️

I miss those days. I'm 46 years old now, but grew up and still live in SoCali (Orange County). Never missed a SoCali show you guys would play between 1991-1994. I used to go to every Samiam show when they came also. I was even at the UCI show that got shut down before you guys got a chance to play because so many people showed up (like 3000 I believe) just to see you guys play at the local bar on campus. I thought I was slick since I knew someone working there that night, so I got there at like 4:30pm so I'd be sure to get a seat. I did, unfortunately you guys just never got a chance to play. I do have video footage of the aftermath out side, including the cops all dressed up in full riot gear. Oh such good times.
