Green Day - Armatage Shanks/Stuart and the Ave/Welcome to Paradise [Live in Berkeley, CA]

[@greendayforever2k9]

Insomniac deserves so much more love than it gets.

[@Neec0]

greendayforever2k9 ikr it's an amazing album

[@UltimoGuitarist2]

Really? It doesnt get much love? I had no idea. It's my favorite album by them and always has been. The others don't even come close to measuring up imo

[@FlyingV555]

greendayforever2k9 the only song most people know off the album is Brain Stew. Which stinks, because the rest off this album is great.

[@DrumSC-to8tw]

Surprisingly no - its not considered one of their better albums by many...I -- much like your good self - love it!!!

[@gega27tt]

I like it that way, it's what makes it special for the old school fans :) just as the almost unknown existence of Paper Lanterns and Going to Palasqua awesomeness

[@Ekenkometen]

I would die on the spot if I ever heard these 2 songs live. 2 of their best but they almost never play them live

[@RelentlessSavior]

and in berkeley at that. I got to experience this, fantastic crowd.

[@k1773ns]

Zachery Danny soo jealous. I just saw them this weekend in Oakland but the set list was super generic. Still love them but I was dying to hear a deep cut. At least we got 2000 LYA ;(

[@verycoolandepicperson6060]

I’d kill to hear Bab’s Uvula Who? Live. They NEVER perform it

[@reno82]

I know what you mean but... I don't know... What is the point when there is not even a mosh pit?

[@ToLoQueVesPodcast]

id die as well, nothing else to accomplish,

[@trevor3905]

stuart and the ave bass line is fucking great

[@mattykalwheeler182]

Standing on the corner of Stuart and the avenueeeeeeeeee 👊😎💚

[@StJimmy-vj2ec]

Matty Kal El Ramone my favorite song from insomniac

[@goldilox7653]

Mine too. :)

[@Neec0]

St. Jimmy same

[@tiki2777]

I was so torn when it got audibled for Geek Stink Breath.....

[@nicoendlych]

I love it so much when Billie sings old songs with his adult voice!!

[@br1an_b]

I'm so happy to see them playing more of their older music like this! You can't be a band for 30 years, with 12 studio albums, and only play the hits. They have so much other great music that has gone largely untouched until this tour.

[@mh.1.]

My list of favourite GD songs (top 5) 1. JAR 2. Stuart 3.haushinka 4. One for the razorbacks 5.only of you

[@nichasatummyache2510]

has it changed?

[@TheJon430]

2:26 I just love how he goes to point to the crowd but then immediately after rethinks "Oh shit I gotta play the guitar" hahaha

[@louiethorne1955]

Can they just play these 3 songs every show I mean 😍

[@loganwright3733]

Insane to see Billie Joe able to continue to get better at his craft and perform live when he was already awesome at it. He sings the old songs better now than when he wrote them. Most bands/artists have a noticeable drop off in interest and quality for older tracks, but not Green Day

[@shahedammh]

YAAAY Armatage Shanks and Stuart and the Ave! Thanks for this!

[@lllllGreenDaylllll]

The intro from stuart gives me chills everytime I hear Mike play it :)

[@tharrison202]

Wow!! Two very rare songs!! So cool

[@Seansation101]

Um, they're not rare they're both very available on Insomniac. If you mean that by the fact that they're deep cuts then idk I guess they're "rare".

[@tharrison202]

I meant rare as in, rarely played live by the band.

[@Seansation101]

Fair enough

[@angelbluue4303]

I will never forget hearing Armatage Shanks and Scattered live, some of their most underrated songs

[@quarter_bob]

pointing to stuart and telegraph while singing the opening line for some reason gave me chills

[@danielcorona8989]

GREEN DAY'S CLASSIC

[@sterre8238]

Stuart and the Ave. ♡︎♡︎

[@Altri82]

Sounds pretty good

[@OscarMorquecho]

1:09 Mike's fail hahaha I failed in that part of the song too

[@kugmyster]

They haven't been playing this song Live for nearly 2 decades, It nice to see they are putting it on the list. Even if only for their smaller shows.... Stuart and the Ave.....One my top 5's they play...

[@ChrisNorwood3]

Hello, GDA!

[@Michael_Billig]

Mike’s facial expressions 😂

[@bigblizzards4867]

Their three best songs

[@sloppyjoehillups]

Fucccckkkinnnnn faaannntasssticcccc!!!!!!!

[@gega27tt]

The crowd looks so funny with their mini jumps hahahaha

[@dominiksawadsky5545]

gega27tt didnt notice hahaha rly!

[@madscience213]

LMFAO! The Berkeley crowd really chilled tf out 😂

[@CD-tj3hg]

I wanna see a show where Billie goes "ladies and gentlemen Trè Cool!" And then trè just does nothing but high-hat taps until the last two counts of the solo. XD

[@StarBoyMusic5]

4:43 Look at Mike 😂

[@vlazurah789]

Beckam Nguyen old habits die hard haha

[@ToLoQueVesPodcast]

this is surreal, they almost never played Insomniac´s tunes Live,

[@reyfREDbay]

Stuart got SOLO! hahahahahah arghhttt....waiting for more insomniac. wesbound, brat, 86, panic, etc

[@revnrave]

Insomniac best album

[@dynaboyjl.4220]

That segue into “Stuart” is so insane. I would go mental if they played anything from insomniac or nimrod live and I was there.

[@pra6169]

The Welcome to Paradise intro is from the kerplunk version

[@Hero_Of_Old]

The intro is the exact same chord progression on both recordings bro.

[@Binbonbunn]

Why no the grouch

[@bryceland8245]

It took 5 minutes before I realized the backup singer in the back.

[@PersonMan1]

Who? Jason?

[@maxnine5973]

PersonMan1 I think Jeff

[@aliciabeavers8278]

Holy fuck stuart and the ave!

[@antoniomarino5162]

armatage shanks, not stranded

[@madscience213]

oops..thx for the correction

[@francokerplunk]

best songs, not gay

[@arikagusta6217]

why the tempo of this song is slower than original?

[@madscience213]

arik agusta something is always different live. That's the beauty of live performances

[@diegosoares2541]

Age, man. They are getting old.

[@diegosoares2541]

sciPHics, really??

[@gmoterani]

Whrere is the mosh??? People don't even jump.... Millenials...

[@peteglanton9259]

I saw them play this live around 2000/2001. They blew the fucking roof off the building. This here performance is kind of tame... 😕

[@Hero_Of_Old]

Oh be quiet

[@peteglanton9259]

@@Hero_Of_Old I won’t. I’m glad the guys are still playing and are alive and well and haven’t died from drugs. But you just can’t compare the 90s performances to present day. Whether it was the amphetamine, the anger, youthful energy, whatever. They used to be much more exciting live.

[@xlAlDaRiS96lx]

What the fuck happened to his voice? Sounds like a kid with cold. I really miss his voice of the 90s and old songs must be played with one guitar.

[@damienhiser2965]

Aldaris1996 he did have a cold during these early shows I think

[@kashmoney6548]

Aldaris1996 I think he sounded almost like he did back then, especially in aramatage shanks

[@RelentlessSavior]

He sounded way better in person at this show.

[@nickjayr21]

He did have a cold LOL

[@diegosoares2541]

I agree with you man.

[@leewhitworth9142]

It's almost blasphemy to play solos on Insomniac songs, lol. It sounds badass, though.

[@MrPro10]

Sorry Green Day it's too late. No-one in the crowd knows these songs because you tortured your fans with the same setlist for a decade - untill we litterally stopped coming to see you play. So you'll just have to play these slowed-down, 5bpm missing versions to people that wern't there back in the day, but also don't know these songs. Oh well

[@SquareOne75]

MrPro10 what do you do

[@billybats4745]

Couldn't have said it better

[@paulosicne5803]

I hate Green Day as a quartet. They don't need a 2nd guitarist.

[@fuzzygori11a57]

Paul Osicne Jason is just as good as the rest of them

[@snake3760]

Yes they do. Rounds out the sound. Love Jason playing on older shit now.

[@hairmatrixgunners6991]

this quality is damn worst

[@madscience213]

why don't you try standing in the pit and capture better footage with your phone to post then?

[@TheHobbitMaster]

Must of been a pretty shit pit tbh, none the less thank you for getting this :)

[@gega27tt]

Lol that's nowhere close to a pit still thanks for the upload!

[@madscience213]

gega27tt unfortunately the Berkeley crowd has really calmed down lol

[@ChrisNorwood3]

That's how Billie likes it.
