Green Day: 21st Century Breakdown Tour 14 December 2009
By far this was the craziest concert I have ever been to. Granted its only the 2nd time I've been in the pit but still.... man oh man was it crazy. There were plenty of people being pulled out of the crowd. One girl was even pulled out before Green Day got on stage. I think she passed out, I'm not very sure.
Anyways, I arrived about nearly 4 hours before the concerted started. I though I was going to be one of the earliest ones to arrive but apparently now. There was already quite a crowd forming when I got there. Some people were even crazy enough to camp overnight. Hats off to the crazy fans.
The pics I got from this concert arent the greatest because I was in the pit. Even though was only 1 person between me and the front of the barricade. It was a madhouse in there. You had to keep pushing people away just to keep your position.
Enough of that stuff, I'll let the pics do most of the talking.
The opening act was Jet and I thought they were pretty dam good.
My favourite part of the Jet's set list was their final song, Cold Hard B*tch
During the intermission between the Jet & Green Day there was this guy (I think a guy) who came out in a pink bunny suit to entertain the crowd. The bunny even downed 2 bottles of beer.
They opened with a pre-recorded version of Song of The Century and then the live version of 21st Century Breakdown. I posted a video of their opening song on FB and not here because the file size just couldnt fit here.
Tre & Billy even swapped instruments for Dominated Love Slave
Not only that but Tre also sang it
One thing I absolutely loved about this concert was there was a ton of audience participation. Billy picked quite a few people to go up on stage at one point or another. He even asked a few of them to stage dive. At one point they even shot water at us and laucnhed toilet rolls into the crowd so that we could "dry" ourselves. Oh I almost forgot, Billy also mooned the crowd.
One of my favourite moments of the concert was when they played 21 Guns, which was towards the end of the concert. However, my absolute favourite moment was of course without a doubt when they Billy played Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) to close the show. I've been listening to that song for years and not only that. It is one of my favourite all time songs and to actually get to see/hear it live was just a very special moment for me.
At the end of the day only one word can describe their concert: Awesome
