Green Day Hometown Tour - 924 Gilman / The Tracks At Christie Road / Where Dookie Was Recorded

[@TheDailyWoo]

Instagram - AdamTheWooATW Something a little different today but really enjoyed seeing these spots. Early 90s Green Day made a big impression on my life and was the reason I picked up the bass guitar and started a band . Ahh memories

[@That420Gamer]

TheDailyWoo Green Day, eh?! From the 90’s I’d say Blur is my favorite and I got to see em this month! 😄

[@MarkFunJones]

TheDailyWoo I like a little different Hope you have an excellent day my friend enjoying this video now

[@obijuankenobi6565]

My older sister used to go there before Green Day went big time. She said they received a lot of hate for going mainstream.

[@obijuankenobi6565]

Are you still in the East Bay ???!!!!! Fan meet and greet ????!!!!! C mon man !!!!!

[@obijuankenobi6565]

Oh nevermind.......just seen you were driving on the old Bay Bridge......that thing is long gone.

[@JohnnyBeane]

My old hood! Used to go to Gilman in the early 90's. Never saw Green Day there but my sisters did. My sisters friends used to be extras in Green Day's music videos. "When i come around" & "Geek stink breath" are a couple i can think of. I used to work in a used guitar shop in Berkeley in the 90's and used to sell guitars to Billie, Mike and Tre. The Kramer Bass Mike played at Wood Stock 94 was from our shop. I saw Mike buy it. He brought it back after Woodstock to get fixed because he got tackled by security and got a tooth knocked out. The guys in Rancid were friends of my sisters too. Fun times!

[@shahidullah5983]

Johnny Beane wow you were really close to green day ... lucky

[@ih8googletons476]

Your Sisters are awesome badasses, good for all of you!!! :)

[@isaiahgamervw7306]

Hey Johnny! I didn’t expect to see you here

[@cooperminion825]

You lucky bastard!

[@ArcadeWarrior]

Dookie is one of my favorite albums of all time period. I'd love to see you do more videos on punk bands and their history. Awesome video and keep up the great work Adam!

[@TheDailyWoo]

Same man . Although kerplunk I hold at a slight higher regard cookie kinda changed my life

[@mattryan2536]

What a time to be alive. I was about 19 or 20. Working at Pic n Save. That was truly a care free time of my life.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Time sure does fly

[@mattlucas3609]

Very cool video Adam, I've loved Green Day since I was young in the 90's.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Me too . Thanks for watching

[@TampaJay]

I had no idea you had huge appreciation and inspiration for Green Day man, even overlooked your tattoo on your arm. Op Ivy, Rancid. Lots of great music mentioned here. I heavily enjoyed this. Especially you visiting Gilman and Christie Road. That Bug! Thanks for sharing this. was so cool.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Yea man I'm huge into their early stuff . Seen em Probly 20 times

[@TampaJay]

So awesome man. Must have been a great feeling for you, creating this one :)

[@Bunjamin27]

..never noticed the prominent forearm tattoo, eh? lol

[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

Operation ivy!

Finally!!! Someone else loves Green Day's older albums!! Kerplunk! and 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours

[@sangfamily]

I play alot of gigs at Gilman. What a breathtaking place it is! Everyone’s so cool over there, it always feels like home!!! #EastBay4ever

[@kandicejanusz1829]

I was in 16 when Dookie came out. I still have the CD still and still love it. And also, I have Welcome to Paradise, stuck in my head....lol.

[@craigwilliams3788]

CLAP CLAP CLAP This was quite good. I love it when history and pop culture blend together to create an amazing experience such as watching this fantastic video by the great Adam the Woo.

[@sirissac7776]

Cool video, went to high school with Mike (bassist) down a few miles at Pinole Valley, class of 90, remember he was in my PE class. Green Day performed our senior year in the mall of the school 🏫. Wow memories!

[@FatherAxeKeeper]

I'm really surprised you didn't show the corner of Stuart St and Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley (that the song Stuart and the Ave. got its title from). Green Day's cousins lived down the street from me and I used to ride my bike around there waiting for them to show up which they would from time to time. I was a nerdy little kid who got his hands on the first pressing of their Sweet Children EP, and their cousins called up Billie and let me talk to him to confirm if it was real. He never wanted anyone to get ripped off. super nice guys. Still love them.

[@FatherAxeKeeper]

Also Adam, I have original copies of 2 of the demo tapes Green Day recorded that got them the record deal at Reprise records in 1993. I would love to mail you a CDR of it. let me know if there is a PO box I can mail it to. Love all your videos. keep up the good work!

[@juanirving276]

My old next door neighbor was Travis Barker n for my birthday he took me to the pop disaster tour I got too meet all the guys there all humble and great guys

[@mad27mike]

That's awesome that you made this video - I went to 924 Gilman about a year ago and just wondered all the awesomeness that place has seen. I was lucky enogh to see Green Day back in 1993 at a place called La Luna in Portland, OR for like 5 bucks - changed my life.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Heck yea ! Miss $5 shows and by end of night you had a new favorite band

[@AquaPixie111]

Green Day has been my favorite band for 21 years. I live on the east coast so can’t really make it out to these place. From one fan to another, thank you for this.

[@jpal3462]

Awesome work, thank you. I live in Hercules and my son goes to 'the' Pinole Valley High School. Right before you got on the bridge toward the end of the video, you passed Carquinez Middle School. (That was the Carquinez Bridge) CMS is where Mike and Billie met and became friends. So awesome that he connected his songwriting with reality in the same way he connected the band and the crowd. Every night I work out in my garage with the door cracked blasting Jesus of Suburbia, Holiday, Blvd of Broken Dreams, etc. in the hopes that one day someone will be knocking on it, I'll open the door, and Billie Joe will be standing there...

[@dhit6277]

I saw them in Detroit a couple of years ago at a small 2,500 seat venue. One of the best shows I have ever seen. You could feel the floor of the balcony bouncing up and down because the crowd was rocking so hard. Great band. Thanks Adam great vlog today!!!!

[@TheDailyWoo]

That's awesome ! Bet it was super cool

[@LukeWarm05]

First saw Green Day in '91 with about 6 people in the "crowd". Opened for them in '93 to a packed club. And now I'm old.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Wow that's awesome . I'm glad I got to see them before they blew up

[@adi9296]

Respect from a younger fan 🙏

[@SplorinRyan]

Green Day's Dookie Tour (1993) with Moist was the first concert I ever went too. Remember Moist? Those guy's were a hidden gem....

[@TheDailyWoo]

Never listened to them

[@foodiethebeauty]

First tape ever bought was "Silver"

Green Day Rules!!! They helped me deal with stuff through my childhood and let me escape into the lyrics of their songs. Thank you Adam for sharing this!

[@dawnbates2335]

I love green day I've saw them a few times. I have been looking for a video on Gilman street for ages. Loved Green day since I was 12 I'm 40 this year. Wish I lived in America so I could tour all the great places you go to xx

[@Coffintheclown]

Dude I love green day sooo much! They will always be my favorite band in the entire world! Also I saw your kerplunk tattoo and I screamed 😂

[@TheDailyWoo]

Got it ages ago and still smile when I remember it's there

[@bamamoondog9039]

Saw Green Day in Pensacola, Florida back in the 90's... Dookie... what a great piece of music history. Great Video !!

[@ronnieo.6647]

When the basket case video came out it was one of the songs that got me into rock. Great video!

[@BakerGirlSteph]

How awesome that you’re up here! This was such a great little nostalgic video. I have a buddy that works at the Gilman and gave me a heads up back when they did a surprise show a couple years ago. Enjoy your time up here!

[@jessemendez6633]

Awesome video dude. I remember I got into Green Day at 16 years old, I even visited The Bay area, Broken Guitars ( Billie Joe's store) and even went to Gilman and went inside as well. During my visit at Gilman, I met Tim Armstrong's brother Jeff, he was really kind enough to get a tour of the place and man Gilman is so awesome. Thanks for sharing this video, Green Day as a whole represented my adolescent years. I'm 20 now and I still get excited listening to Green Day.

[@rhondaz356]

That was so cool, Adam. Noone does these tours better.

[@RhettyforHistory]

Amazing to think about seeing them before they were big and not realizing how big they would get.

[@TheDailyWoo]

It's kinda crazy how big they got

[@relicman]

Thank you once again for bringing us back to the Wonderful 90's. What a Great Decade to have been a part of!

[@KLEARSKITHEKREEPER]

Loved that GREEN DAY was in the simpsons movie! Operation ivy is my fav..but always really loved GUTTERMOUTH..Teri yakimoto is my fav!😎Afternoon Adam!!

[@georgeclifton5684]

They played a gig at my buddies parents house in Benicia for our going away to the Army party in 89, great times. There were some killer punks shows all around the bay, late 80's- early 90's. W.D.B.C., and all that. Thanks for the great revisit Adam.

[@adventureswithchristian6967]

Glad you made it out safe from west Oakland! When Green Day signed their first deal. The club on Gilman said they could never come back. They later regretted saying that. Oakland has so much music history, and it's not being covered like it should. Glad you did this Green Day was a top band of mine as well. I'm in Los Angeles to see the Dodgers play tonight. Thank you Adam!!!

[@deebojones7587]

Born and raised in the east bay. I saw Green Day about the same time you did. I graduated HS in 96. Saw many shows at the Gilman and the Berkeley Square. Good times my friend!

[@jamesnakamoto9278]

That’s so rad you were able to do this!! Green Day is my all time favorite band!! Since 91!!

So very cool to see Gilman, I hung out there back in the 80’s. Brings back memories. Thanks Adam

[@TheDailyWoo]

Very cool !

[@matthewhuffman5861]

The very first concert I ever attended was Green Day on December 3, 1995 I saw them in West Palm Beach, FL. I was just about to turn 13 years old.... Thanks for this video Adam, it brought back some good memories of one of my favorite bands.

[@TheDailyWoo]

Yes! I remember that show . Insomniac tour with Riverdales . I have a VHS home video copy of the show

[@jakobfisher76]

Dookie is the one CD that I still keep in my car and really the only CD that I listen to on a regular basis. So many memories tied to each one of those songs.

Great job Adam! So cool to see you in NorCal...my stomping ground :-) I went to Gillman once and saw The Mentors. We used to see Primus a lot back then over at Berkley Square. I saw Green Day at Lollapalooza 94, they blew the place up.

[@daviobigd1]

Real cool. Excellent channel. Keep em' coming. Peace.

[@Jeeppeeps]

The fact that you actually took us to Christie Road a place I’ve thought about 1 million fucking times but living here in the Boston area I would have to go really really far to see in the fact that you brought that to us that’s pretty cool. I’m 34 years old and have been listening to Green Day since I was 10 this means a lot to me thank you

[@TheDailyWoo]

Glad you enjoyed it ! It meant a lot for me as well to go there

[@anothernewyorkerinla3923]

Fantastic video, I freakin LOVE Green Day! I've always wanted to see these locations. Until I can experience their stomping grounds in person, thanks for letting me do it vicariously through you :)

[@TheDailyWoo]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@garyallsebrook3493]

I've been to Fantasy. Very sad its closing, it was a fantastic studio with Neve consoles, etc. I believe Green Day rehearsed ar Soundwave in West Oakland too, or a least warm up there while they're in town as many touring acts do.. We used to rehearse there and its gotten pretty dangerous. People were getting robbed at gunpoint, of their instruments, phones, etc. The sheriff issued me a CCW license, it was that bad! I saw the Beatles in 1966, they were my inspiration to became a bassplayer...

[@peanutismint]

YES ADAM!!! As someone who loves all of your content but isn't particularly interested in all the Halloween/scare maze stuff, I feel like this more than makes up for kinda tolerating the past few weeks of (admittedly still great!) content that just wasn't quiiiiite to my tastes. This is a BRILLIANT return to the stuff I personally like, not to mention one of my all time fave bands!!

Interesting tour! I can really appreciate seeing historic places like this first-hand. There's just that "shock" feeling of "Wow, this is where it all happened!" Places like that... I just never want to leave! Oh, there should be a TNT sticker on that sign! :D

For sure . Always Intresting

Cool video. I saw them on the dookie tour , and it was crazy.

[@volleyguy1001]

Very cool video! To be clear, the school was completely torn down a few years back. Completely leveled. It has since been rebuilt. So nothing on the property is the same as it was during that live performance.

[@HorrorFanAndy1]

I'm a big Green Day fan, in fact my senior year of high school (this past year), I was in a theatre class and one of the projects was we had to sing a song from a musical and I brought up American Idiot: the Musical to my teacher because I wanted to do St. Jimmy and after explaining to her who Green Day is, she looked up the song list and saw all the explicits next to the title and I had to do Wake Me Up When September Ends and the day I had to sing the song, I showed up dressed as Billie Joe and my friends and a couple teachers say I look like him and ever since then, my friends call me "discount Billie Joe" and I occasionally get people coming up to me asking me if I'm related to him

[@legacyShredder1]

Discount/Value Brand is my go to for similarities.

[@TheDailyWoo]

That's really cool . Discount Billy Joe isn't a bad thing

[@legacyShredder1]

What about Discount Billy Joel?

Hey, you were in my neck of the woods! Great video; it's neat to see familiar places and sometimes people. Have a great day!

[@Damon0mania]

Wrong warehouse, bud. I lived there with 'em. You're at 8th & Pine where Russ Lung Butter used to have a studio. The place you wanted to see was a few blocks up at 7th & Campbell. And it was far from abandoned. There were 2 industrial garage sized halls ground level and 15 bedrooms upstairs full of punks, not to mention all the fleas. I used to practice at the warehouse you showed.

[@proseb4bros976]

That sucks that Fantasy is closing...so much history! I really enjoyed this video (okay, I enjoy all your videos), but this one especially.

[@zietgiestnewspeak6143]

I was standing on stage right with Billie playing the opening riff to welcome to paradise. The year was 1994, the venue was the hatchshell in Boston. A free show that was not prepared for a crowd of 6000. Only 5 songs in and the crowd bum rushed the stage knocking over the metal barriers, trampling the flower bed and as they reach the stage, Billie drops his guitar and bolts for the rear of the stage, Mike follws, i follow Mike leaving Tre behind me as an all out riot began. Frightening sight indeed. I hid with the band and my friend Terry downstairs as riot grew with the arrival of the police. Ill mever forget the feeling of being trapped and unsure of the crowds intent. Green Day was sued by the family members whose kids got injured, but it wasn't their fault as they were not responsible for venue security or safety. When court date came around, Billie had to borrow a suit from Dickie pf the Mighty Bosstones to wear in court. True story.

[@lucashotchkiss2627]

Green Day, Rancid, AFI, The Offspring, etc all came from Gilman. Definitely my favorite punk rock venue.
