Funny how Boulevard is before Holiday. Usually, it’s the other way around.

No small roll away stage they gave Green Day the entire big stage treatment in the end zone so everybody could see this stunning performance.....

[@syzionaurifex5383]

Really nice of them to let those guys play a football game before and after their show

[@andrewdouris6035]

I tuned in for half time lol

[@shannonschaerer1010]

As a Canadian, I'll just say we got CRAZY lucky to have Green Day play OUR Halftime show!! I watched the game & saw this last night - I couldn't have been happier! Fantastic preformonce!!

[@jody024]

And its uncensored too! Fuck yeah Canada!

[@calinaturelover5729]

So jealous.... I don't like football but could watch it if Green Day played at half time!

[@jvidechi]

As a Quebequer, I wonder why Canadians dont have at least one good rock band to do the gig. This is another proof that there is no canadian culture. Without Québec, Canada is only a huge Wyoming. Sad for you guys.

[@Scobie905]

@@jvidechiNo canadian culture 😂 you clearly just don’t know our music, we’ve had tons of successful bands mostly from outside of Quebec. Also several of them have played the half time show in the past.

[@pddrums7847]

Well besides Leonard there isn't a single Quebec artist that gets me excited

[@peterblack3665]

There is no more fitting place for Green Day then the Hammer Baby this is the best halftime show the CFL could ever ask for......bravo to who ever booked this band for the Halftime Show!!!!!!!

[@SirManfly]

Indeed !!

[@jackstarret7028]

2 out of the 3 Green Day shows I’ve been too were in the Hammer (One of which was my first concert back in 09)! Something about the two just blend so well 😎

[@The_switch_playerPlayer]

Finally a big group to the CFL halftime ! Let's show NFL what Canada is capable of !

[@magpieBC]

Not taking anything away from Green Day, who were amazing, but maybe last year’s lame country show in Regina erased your memory of all of the big acts that have come before (Google it.) The Arkells put on a memorable performance that rocked Tim Hortons Field just two years ago. Plus, I can’t think of many Super Bowl games that could top what we saw yesterday.

[@vincent8600]

that was a great decision to be honest, just sucks they didnt give them a little bit more time that was great

[@alansmithee38987]

can we take a moment to appreciate the great work of the sound engineer ? Mix sounds crazy

[@melipongamri6626]

💯🔥

[@keithmills778]

They probably had their regular tour engineer for the stadium sound, but then somebody out in the television mobile would be mixing for the broadcast. That's a bit different than mixing for the PA as broadcast has some limitations that you don't have with live sound. It looks like Billie Joe's guitar was pretty light in the mix at 4:03, so it wasn't perfect, but it was pretty damn good!

[@sekko_music]

actually this is my second channel haha@authenticnature. I'm a drummer, fell free to follow if u want :)

[@BoogieWoogieCat]

Yeah, but they definitely added a few things here and there. At 4:58 and 5:32, you can hear stuff Tré doesn't play and it's not a delay or anything. The engineer probably added that later for the video.

[@Nathan_Breeze]

Many of the tracks played were studio tracks. Mixing those with the live stuff can't be easy to do and sounds great for a show overall!

[@DamianVriens]

Setlist 0:18 - 3:16 The American Dream Is Killing Me 3:18 - 6:16 Basket Case 6:19 - 10:46 Boulevard Of Broken Dreams 10:50 - 14:48 Holiday

[@nancyp4337]

Would have loved to hear When I Come Around ….but the selection was great!!

[@brendanmagarik7703]

Wish they switched the order for BLVD and Holiday for the album transition

[@Gabriel2oh6]

@@brendanmagarik7703disagree. They aren’t trying to recreate American Idiot. They have four songs and they want to end the halftime performance on a high energy note. It makes sense to switch them for this scenario. Ending the halftime show with a ballad doesn’t make sense for the context they are in.

[@totz_the_plaid9625]

​@@Gabriel2oh6Simple solution, switch song order to have "Basket Case" close after 'Blvd./Holiday'

I've seen them probably 7 times and they have always been nothing short of amazing live!!! They always give 1000000%! Such an experience to see them live, especially up close!

[@wabdih]

I saw them 7 years ago. I was blown away by how good they sound in person. The recordings don't even sound as good as the live experience of what I saw
