I wish I could go to a Green Day Concert! *puts on bucket list*

[@AlexRichardsonweirdo]

+Wakana Tatsuo literally same

[@everythingwrong4996]

Wish they still did American Idiot Album

[@Chillwand77Gaming]

same just need them to come to Canada but like no good bands ever come to Canada :C

[@andrewreece3682]

Chillwand77 Gaming did you go to the concert last night they were in Ontario

[@Chillwand77Gaming]

Yes i was at the one in London Ontario it was amazing

[@habibihassan]

1:30, I swear this is the first time in a while Billie said "am I just stoned?" Instead of yelling out the location they're at. 😂😂

[@bringmebacktoanhourago1522]

true

[@amberlynn6914]

Habibi Hassan this was before he went to rehab.

[@habibihassan]

amberlynn6914 so? He's done it long before that freakout

[@amberlynn6914]

Right, but he hasn't said it since after the freakout

[@stephenemmett9753]

Usually it's "...ya ya ya ya?" to replace "Am I just stoned?" on the album version for its second time.

[@manderz242]

Yes! Green Day is Green Day, no matter how old or new (:

[@odiemodie1]

BJ and company... still rollin' after all these years... he seems to have found the fountain of youth through music that is timeless... keep on rockin', Greenday! Forever young... forever young... :)

[@lizt9293]

odiemodie1 and they’re still going. Yay!

[@shreddyeddy7391]

You don't always see him play songs from Dookie without his Blue its very rare ahha

[@searose1015]

I just noticed that

[@jaclob_]

Well because all the dookie songs were in Eb tuning and blue is tuned to Eb tuning and all his other guitars are in standard tuning. If you havent noticed in this live performance, they are playing in standard so eveything is a half step up which is different from the album version and most live performances.

[@christianj.3698]

Guys...Mike is wearing sleeves

[@outofrangeoutofstyle7713]

Chris Jensen IT'S A FIRST

[@etc1202]

Christian J. It's an impostor.

[@fuzzygori11a57]

Christian J. *W* *O* *A* *H*

[@lucky_is3]

Oh dear god this isnt Right

[@dxrk_blxxd_11]

😱😱 omg, he is...

[@edelynlabrador8252]

[@eddieisbell4714]

BEST SONG BY GREEN DAY

[@jamiemcm2007]

BEST LIVE BAND...EVERRR

[@manuel0189]

insane drummer, insane guitar player, insane bassplayer, nice band!! =)... the best in the world!!

[@GreenDaysummerify]

Everyone complains about Old or New Green Day, but when it's Green Day from nowadays playing the old songs, it sounds 100% better. I think it's the perfect combo.

[@SlashManEXE]

Never a dull performance. Ever.

[@musicauro]

This song will NEVER EVER get old!

[@Wiplash12345]

His voice suits standard tuning

[@leftywith4strings201]

Fury As Night it really does

[@EPerfect97]

its performances like this that make me stop what ever im doing(after finishing the video of course), pick up my guitar, and try to imitate this complete awsomeness

[@crypticmick4212]

oh i fucking you there brother!

[@Thecodi55]

Thank you again and again and again. Awsome vidio!

[@karenrashkash]

Wish I was there. At least I get to watch on you tube. I am working on setting up a NYC trip to go see American Idiot. I really, really want to see it. At least I do have tickets to both NJ shows this August. Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Shakes-Off-Fear]

What I would have given to be there that night! YOU ROCK, GREEN DAY!!!!!!

[@StuartRedman1]

You will never see them play this in standard tuning again. lol

[@heyimjoshnicetomeetya]

They did at IHeartRadio

[@cameronsecrest1020]

Meltdown dood

[@cameronsecrest1020]

greenday4ever7766 true

[@yh5559]

Mike Graham Also maybe he didn't have time to tune it down cuz 1 minutes .

[@TheKingsVlogs]

The broadway people look like the crowd in Guitar Hero III lol

[@carsongodwin]

You’re not wrong

[@lablab657]

I just realised that it's one of the rare time I hear him sing " am I just stoned" Now he let the crown sing it. Guess that after the rehab he does not want to be " just stoned" again

[@sirdinkelburg6159]

this gives me goosebumps

[@GreenDaysummerify]

Love these guys so much

[@praquina]

His hair moves so amazing! I love his hair.

[@hwirstrom]

@TheGloryOfSpring i saw it this summer... FANTASTIC.

[@grahamlee7165]

l love green day forever

[@AnthonyLemma24]

Video gave me goosebumps for some reason.

[@LooseCanonCreations]

I was in NYC that Thursday morning through Monday.I had three Broadway shows on my itinerary (not of my choosing but it was my first time doing B'way). Friday night I'd JUST missed them coming out of the theater after getting out of Addams Family (xcellent show, BTW). Saturday I didn't have time to catch Green Day's side project in some Chelsea dive bar. Don't remember where they performed the next night but missed that, too (lack of funds). Still I met "St.Jimmy"" so that was cool.

[@oNeHanDGuN]

this song is awesome...legenddddddddddddddd

[@janybear01]

lol WowxD, broadway actors are so crazzzyyy but in a good way.

[@MsAgulka15]

4:17 - they were ready to catch him xD They're so fucking crazy and smart people at the same time. It got to be amazing to watch this surprise - I wish to be there

[@96jamesjin]

My birthday is 22 of april!! What a great musical and what a great band..

[@kevingislon2310]

1:41 grasping to con- oh fuck this shit

[@BShaw-cd4hf]

After his meltdown I'll never be able to hear the song without thinking of that

[@kunalshah2933]

+B. Shaw haha same here ... It always pops up in my head

[@avacruickshank6534]

Kevin Gislon same also

[@emmanuelenriquez8296]

[@P1kon]

“IM NOT JUSTIN BEIBER YOU MOTHER FUCKERS!!!”

[@blossoms256]

Wow!You were so close!!Your so lucky!!

[@abbycook4251]

If this happened when I went, I would die. I mean, I've been to a concert, but it's still Billie, and he's still fricking AMAZING

[@ihearttheweakerthans]

Great vid. Thanks for posting!!

[@LynnX9]

o my god, I miss Green Day!! Hope they will come soon to Europe!

[@ds-1distortion]

レギュラーチューニングだと、何となくED感でてこれもこれで好き！

[@lelliephant]

Oh my goodness, haha. Declan Bennett freaking out when they started Basket Case is amazing.

[@SuperSayin824]

and besides, their having a whole lot of fun, u can tell

[@PineappleBobTheGreat]

Green Day = Billie, Mike, Tre and Jason. Jason is with Green Day enough to be considered a full member of the band in my mind!

[@SchnotzzN]

Amen to that!

[@TheKyle28]

amazing

[@kinderehre2309]

Green Day, das Musical.....

[@ZeroXtiK]

some new songs are so good

[@Junkpunker21]

Lol at Mike Dirnt at 3:49 and this girl screams right after Mike Dirnt raises his hand. Aww come on guys, Tre Cool and Mike Dirnt deserve a hug too!

[@IAmNobodey]

you are so freakin lucky!!!

[@LivingLife123100]

@HangerXBand CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT IN ST. LOUIS ON MARCH 3, 2012!!

[@ryobunkdie95]

[@dizzyjourneyvlog455]

Green Day is the best

[@AlexRichardsonweirdo]

Ha ha Billie literally passed under Mike's legs while playing LOL Only him

[@angelinaespositos4412]

You must be new here😂

[@AlexRichardsonweirdo]

+angelina espositos not at all... why? LOL

[@bensontauro7706]

+Alex Is Weird Billie tends to do that in almost every gig XD

[@rinaldyhendrawan6878]

[@abbycook4251]

[@jackg8893]

Can't tell if the actors are acting or actually loving it so much

[@elysa64]

theyre soo coool. *.* gaahdammit i wish i was there.

[@scotticusnorvegicus]

About time you guys gave Inflammable Material by Stiff Little Fingers a good listen to.

[@JosephRRegan]

good,no freakin dis-likes.GREEN DAY RULS ALL

[@nayarapduarte]

it's amazing to see this again!!! i was there ;)

[@321RR123]

this is AWSOME AS F**K!!!!!!!!!

[@dasamurai027]

Billie and mikes chemistry man its amazing

[@Cameraman129]

I would probably stand there and film Green Day singing their song. If I did feel like I needed to get in a shot with them at the same time, I would not, however, point the camera at myself and sing along like that. I would calmly hand my camera to someone nearby, and politely ask them to take a video of me with the band in the background.

[@orangefudge]

@MustangTF141 you use whatever you want Mustang.. it`s the spirit you play it with that matters, not the instrument

[@GreenDaysummerify]

I love when Billie's hair was long, black and fluffy like this. He has it somewhat like this now but not as long and fluffy..

[@xmusicfanx11]

amazing

[@tonmoy1001]

i wish i were there..

[@SuperSayin824]

This to me, is the real Green day. Just 3 guys well 4 really, having the time of their life without a single care in the world, this is GREEN DAY, for get what type of music weather it be Dookie or American Idiot, or Nimrod or 21st Century Breakdown, its not about that, its about them being them, thats all their is to it......

[@odgykins]

3:48 Ahahaha Mike you're so adorable

[@shelloz09]

wow FUCKING AMAZING

[@Volts48]

@RainbowSnow101 if these guys even had the slightest clue what impact they would they would have back then, they wouldn't have even written American Idiot. These guys were a punk band that was not afraid to change genres and take the flak for it when they wrote songs like "Good Riddence" That is good work when they can accept that flak and still push forward on what they want to write songs about.

[@AlexBarelyCivil]

Basket Case in an E!!!! :O Rock on Billie...Rock on!!!!

[@DrkLugia697]

WOW! this so amazing XDD i went , but i were far of the scenary, long live to green day !!

[@AlolanAlomomola]

Mike

[@Javierchido]

I always laugh with the red jacket guy reaction at 0:03

[@stripeytofu]

Omg, watching him play the guitar so low is hurting my back! xD

[@pleasantnightmare21]

damn dude i wanna see some stage dives at a broadway play

[@samuelprinsen]

Jason isn't an official Green Day member. But, he does makes part of the band by doing a lot of guitar playing for them. So do Jason Freeze and Jeff Matika. Without them, they wouldn't have had a lead guitar player, a saxophone(or what the hell it is XD) player and no piano player. So, it is nice to have them.

[@rachelrayesimone858]

lOVE tHEM! :}

[@nypron]

Haha they tried to carry him at the end XD

[@Istiaque1]

his hair

[@danafc71]

fuck yeah

[@Khedixi]

Hugs

[@Bunjamin27]

wow.. im shocked that they can still play as a trio.. its been what.. since 1997 since they played a show as a trio? Hopefully they'll do more shows as trio.

[@themalachijethro]

The 1st time I ever see him playing basket case using his les paul jr

[@rageloveHML]

@thebrutalkremlin good for me though, since I never got to see this, or even a Green Day concert...or any concert.

[@nypron]

@GreenDayMultiTracks What do you mean? Billie is playing it half step down. At least from what i see on his placements on frets. No?

[@yaggogt5]

BJ is GOD !!!!!! BJ FOREVER

[@deee1971]

nycgirl u must of been happy with your seat placeing i wish i was there :D

[@AmericanIdiotIsMe]

@SnowManxzz ive never been to a show because they never come where i live. i mean jason always plays it usually.

[@odgykins]

Lol Rebecca's fro is crazy xD

[@wabdih]

this guy looks better than he did in his 20's. I think I got a man-crush on him

[@nickjayr21]

agreed

[@greenday1991ful]

cool

[@山田田中-v9q]

かっこよ

[@samuelprinsen]

He isn't an official member, but I also consider him and Jason Freeze and Jeff Matika as members.

[@ThEcaVeANtics]

@1:58 Surprise, Mike!

[@Calwilliamss]

The woman in pink cannot *rock out* to save her life.

[@Fobmuska]

[@julienverveer748]

[@crabkingjake6190]
