There was a proposal up front in Gold Circle during Extradinary Girl. I thought someone had hit the floor for a second!!

Was very cute and sweet. The girl was in pure shock. Plenty videoing the moment for her to look back on 😀

What a show!

Do you know the enemy?
Do you know your enemy?
Well, gotta know the enemy, rah-eh…!

That's all I can say right now 😁

Very enjoyable

Weather was fairly shite all night. But those lads keep on trucking. They really are one of the best live bands going. Fair play to them.

I didn't think Pearl Jam last weekend could be topped but Green Day might have just done it. Still the best live band I've ever seen, they just know how to entertain.

Thought Pearl Jam were miles better last week and Green Day were very gimmicky tonight

Different type of shows. Pearl Jam for the music and vibe. Green Day for the pure showmanship.

One hell of a night. Went batsh!t crazy with my kids

that’s certainly a song to propose to 😅

Have to say that I thought the opposite. I love Pearl Jam and could take or leave Green day but Eddie scuttered on about Dublin and Hansard and anyone he ever met from Ireland for half the night. Most of his stories were dull and pointless whereas Green day just stuck to playing their tunes. That said, I'd have culled the back half of the American Idiot album and played more Insomniac or Nimrod.

that’s harsh. Was at the two gigs as well (PJ with wife/friends and GD with wife/kids) enjoyed both equally. Each night had great set lists and insanely talented front men and tight musicians behind them….after that it’s a matter of taste

PTH2009 · 28-06-2024 1:30am

Enjoyed that

Why does Billie Joe still look like a teenager

Incredible show yet again from Green Day. Real bang of nostalgia from 2 different eras. Thoroughly enjoyed.

But wtf was that at the end? Pure dangerous fuelling the whole crowd out a single narrow chute. A matter of when not if there's a major incident there. How do they get away with having gigs out there?

The whole Ireland

I left as soon as time of your life came on

Penfailed · 28-06-2024 3:21am

Just home! That was fun. Such an enjoyable gig.

FionnK86 · 28-06-2024 8:31am

It was my 3rd time seeing them and I thought they were good but previous 2 times I enjoyed myself more. I put it down to the crowd more than anything.

Last 2 times we were in Golden Circle and could mosh and dance around but this time we were just at 1st barrier behind it and it was dead. There was one big guy in a blue poncho in his forties who knew every line but he was with his daughter and there were lots of kids (which is great) but think it meant there was very little engagement from crowd back to the band.

The setlist was incredible, I never thought i'd get to see some of these songs live ever, but I am raging that I could not get into it as much as I did last time.

The sound on stage right was also screwed up. It sounded like the loud or bassy parts were muffled, and the lead parts came through. Maybe PJ blew the speakers or the soundman didn't have enough time to soundcheck but it seemed slightly better out of the stage left.

Security were actually really good at their jobs, and they were probably overstaffed given the rain but them and the barstaff were pretty sound.

I'd go see Green Day again but next time need to go back somewhere to get some moshin' done

mollser · 28-06-2024 8:59am

Awesome gig, some craic in gold circle. Friendly mosh pits going all night long! They sure can entertain, the energy of that band is off the charts.

Some deep cuts, keep the pearl jam 10 club fans happy😜

Great show and great band, but I think this comment is farily wide of the mark!

Both good music (else I wouldn’t have been there) but found the endless “eyyyyy-yoooo”s, “jump!” and “get your hands in the air!!!” cringeworthy. Feel like there was a lot less of that 2 years ago at Hella Mega (perhaps due to time constraints)

He does actually now that you mention it

greenspurs · 28-06-2024 10:32am

Massively enjoyed Dookie, and the 'hits' off American Idiot were class, but i felt the gig kinda went off the boil towards the end ?

GC was good, plenty room , and i nearly felt guilty looking at the youngsters standing at the barriers in general …..

I dont think there was many allowed into GC without wristbands as we were for PJ ?

I gave my wristband to a lady towards the end of the gig as i was leaving … about 15 mins before the end, i had had enough by then…

Great showmen, great musicians…. But i felt it was a bit 'gimmicky' ….

Fair enough, I didn't make it to Hella Mega (had too many gigs at the same time), so can't comment on that….but any time I've seen Green Day before they've done the eyyy-yoo's etc..It's Billie Joe's thing and I think it gets the crowd going (but each to their own). They fairly rattled through the songs, so you can't fault them for time wasting at least.

We left with the kids towards the end of Homecoming (having dropped 90 bucks on two t-shirts for them 😂), steady stream leaving at that time, which is a shame…but after Pearl Jam I think a lot of people didn't want to risk the crush. Crazy that you have to miss songs at a gig just to avoid the inevitable sh*t show of an exit!
