Green Day @ The O2 Arena

 

As I mentioned in the previous post, I went to see Green Day at the O2 Arena last night.

It was fantastic,

What a proper concert should be, minimal set, all about the music.

They were on stage continuous for 2 hours 20mins, Billy Joe Armstrong never stopped running (not bad for a 37 year old)

The first 50 minutes or so were tracks from the new album 21st Century Breakdown

Followed by the rest of the show being a retrospective from previous albums and fan favourites.

All finished by an acoustic performance of  ‘Wake Me Up When September Ends’ and ‘’Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)’.

Truly a great gig.

Now I should post some grainy footage taken from 400 feet away on a 3 mega pixel mobile phone camera. But I won’t because I’m not a fucking twat and think it will actually come out.

To the girl sitting next to me, I have a 10.2 megapixel camera with a 300mm zoom lens and I know that even if I was allowed to take it in, that at that distance with the high ISO I’d have to use, the leads singers face will be approximately 6 pink pixels when enlarged, so I wouldn’t bother, you are fucking moron (and all the rest of you, you know who you are, I saw your pathetic camera flashes from even further away than I was.)

So proper videos then.

From the new album.

 

And a personal favourite ( on so many levels)
