I just saw Rancid, Smashing Pumpkins and Green Day. All on the same tour. It was amazing to have that much of the first half of my life in one stadium.
Green Day are still in their prime in terms of a live show. Yeah it’s not 3 kids packing a basement anymore, but they absolutely crushed Dookie in their 50s. I felt not old for a couple of hours.
Me too (Oracle Park), and I also relate to the not feeling old for a couple of hours - except the few times when I saw parents bring their kids to this show, and the kids were definitely not older than like, nine or ten, and were (!) mouthing the words to songs from Dookie.
