Glad the show was so good, Erin and Pieter! It looked pretty obvious from Storytellers that GD are awesome live.
Up until this morning, I was actually expecting that I wouldn't get to go to the show. On Friday I planned to buy them after i got my paycheck and then on Sunday, I tried to buy the tickets but they kept telling me to try back later. So..I kinda gave up...BUT...I checked this morning and bought two tickets. YEAH-YEAH! ;^)
Looking sooooo forward to it!

Trust me, it will be one of the best shows that you will see. They really were one of the best bands that I have ever seen in concert. Their version of Shout was excellent.
Excellent, Pieter...I am even more excited now that you two have given your comments about the show. :^)
Btw...could you all list some of the songs you remember them performing? I am curious what to expect as far as the setlist is concerned.

Thanks for the list, Pieter. Looks like a pretty good collection of songs.
I'll be seeing them on May 14th...which when I consider how soon that is, it isn't much of a surprise that I had so much trouble getting tickets.

Oh, and did you all buy any merchandise? I plan to take some extra cash to buy somethin'. ;^)
Erin got a program ($15) and a t-shirt ($25)
Okay, cool, thanks... I think that's probably what I'll do too.
Venue sellers love to completely rip people off.
They charge 30-40 bucks for a T-shirt, and 5 for a small bottle of water. The worst part is that the greedy bastards won't even allow people to bring your their own water.
Now back to the t-shirts, if the shirt is really cool and at a considerable price I might buy it. 25 bucks is not bad for a shirt considering what they usually charge.

I remember going to see Bon Jovi at Giants Stadium 4 years ago and they did covers of 'Shout' and 'Twist and Shout'. People went completely fuckin' nuts when they played those two. It totally KICKED ASS!
I thought $25 for a t-shirt was not bad for a concert these days. You rarely seen them under $35. The parking was also not too bad, only $6.
I have seen some pretty cool Green Day t-shirts at Hot Topic, but I haven't gotten one yet. I think I will just get one at the concert out of sentimentality.
The worst part about concert merchandise is the stickers...I mean c'mon, $6-$7 for a piece of paper with sticky stuff on the back of it? Please. ;^)

No answers for my question...? :(
Didn't notice your question, Dark. I've only brought a camera into like one or two concerts. I think I stuck it down my pants or something.:-)
There were lots of folks at the Green Day show taking pics, but I imagine most were taken with their phones. They can't stop that nowadays.
