Notes:
- Kyle Serlington: "I took this pic back in 2000 when I saw Green Day at the Warped Tour in Saratoga Springs, NY. It was just a few months before Warning came out but they refused to play any songs from the new album, which I was bummed about. Pretty sure this was taken during Welcome To Paradise because of how Billie is standing towards the amp for feedback. After the set Billie walked out into the public and a bunch of people started following him, myself included, and I got knocked down by one of his bodyguards."
- Kate: "Then we waited around, doing abolutely nothing until six when Green Day played. But before they came on, I met Mike Dirnt and took a picture with him and he signed my stuff. He smelled weird, but that is OK. About an hour later, I saw Billie and got stuff signed by him. All together, I got Foot In Mouth, Stuck With Me single, When I Come Around single, an 8x10 promo, and a shirt signed by Green Day. No, I didn't hand all this stuff to them. I saw Mike twice and my friend got some of my stuff signed. Mike crossed his face off in the promo, because he said, 'Ever wake up and have one of those days where you feel gay? Goddamn, I looked fruity that day.' Love that man."
- "Finally, at 5pm we set ourselves in front for Green Day. At first Mike was the only one who came out and the fat dude from Long Beach Dub All Stars came out and said, 'Hey, the bass player can't find his band!' Then Tre and Billie came out. Apparently, they were backstage listening to Fat Mike do stand-up. They opened with Welcome To Paradise and it rocked. Then immediately they went into Hitchin' A Ride and the crowd went nuts. In the middle of it Billie went, 'I want it to fucking rain! Hey, is this Albany? Well, it is now, motherfuckers! Everybody chant! Rain! Rain! Rain! Maybe now it will rain!' It actually sprinkled a little too. During Knowledge Billie pulled some kid onstage and made him stagedive. Also, during Jaded Timmy Chunks the roadie played guitar. The show kicked ass."
