Green Day- Thurs 27th June 2024 Marlay Park Dublin

Also..it's a semi circle.

Well I thought it was a great show last night

Had Dookie as a teenager, didn't really get into the later stuff until 2 years ago when I heard them from outside Marlay Park on the Grange Road - sounded fantastic even from over the wall! and I said if they ever came back I would be there and I bought American Idiot then.

It was handy to get a preview when their set was on TV from the Isle of Wight last weekend - knew what we would be in for - it was just very different from Pearl Jam - I enjoyed them both in their different ways

Being in Gold circle essential I reckon - we were 1/3 the way back from the barrier - it was busy but some room - felt like less people outside in the arena in total compared to Pearl Jam but maybe that was just a timing thing and people arriving later

Sound was excellent where we were - voice sounds great, can't take that for granted in these bands 30+ years on - was great to hear the "deep cuts" as a first timer don't even know which ones these are! but songs like "Pulling Teeth" and some of the more "album" tracks off Dookie, delighted to be able to hear those - the ones that got ingrained in the psyche during the angsty teenage years listening on tape back in the day!

Good that the food concessions etc stay open after, hung back a bit, grabbed some chips, avoided the worst of the crowds - the merch was still open but didn't join the queue as babysitter at home waiting and could've been another half an hour

they should probably have separate entrance and exit for gents toilets, might make crowd flow bit better around there

Know Your Enemy probably the highlight for me - great to have all these gigs on at the moment 😀

That's exactly why we left early too. Gig was great but organisation at the venue so was so poor.

I actually really liked the songs off the new Saviors album and thought they sounded great live. Comfortably their best album since American Idiot IMO

Couldn't disagree more. This is the first tour in more than 20 years (literally) that they haven't arsed around with a 10 min rendition of king for a day, shout, and various other cover songs. THAT was gimmicky. Last night was literally the opposite. 37 odd song setlis, two iconic albums front to back, minimal breaks between songs, 2 and a half hours in total, and they're in their 50s. Was **** class, my 18th time seeing them.
