New group photo, First show in 3 years
Apr. 9, 2009 / Comments

Green Day's show a couple nights ago at The Independent was the first time in 3 years (and 4 months) the band played a show as Green Day (last show was December 2005 in Melbourne Australia). We’ve had plenty to keep us busy between then, with Pinheads tour last year, then Foxboro Hot Tubs tour in May of 2008 - but it’s still really refreshing to see a ticket with the words "GREEN DAY" on it. The site has been incredibly busy with tons of people stopping by looking for details from last night, so we’ll sum everything a bit more organized below.

We’ve gotten in some really great photos from the night. Right now we have over 50 pictures from the show in the picture vault. Thanks to everyone who’s been kind enough to send them in, or allowed us to post them.
For videos, there’s a decent amount all over YouTube. Below are links to our favorites
- matedog2 - Short previews of nearly all the songs
- Full video of the new song “Desperate”
- Full video of the start of the show, "Welcome to Paradise"
We have a couple threads where people are working on the lyrics for Desperate and another for Know Your Enemy
Here's a couple articles about the show (links from Nothing Wrong With Me.com)
