Chicago, IL, September 17th, 2004
Tickets for this concert were extremely hard to get, I ended up buy them from a broke for $60 ($40 more than the orginal price!!!).
The concert was at The Vic Theater, which was the smallest venue Green Day played in Chicago for years and probably years to come.
I was extremely excited because I've been a HUGE Green Day fan for years and they would be preforming the upcoming album American Idiot that I hadn't heard for it had not been released yet.
I was expecting so incredibly great. THe first song boomed American Idiot(I had allready heard it and knew all the words), the break down was very nice and they really got the audience into it.
The next song blew me away, JESUS OF SUBURBIA 10 minutes of punk rock nirvana, by then I allready been ready to say it was the best concert I've ever seen.
I had all ready seen them in 2002 and they were awsome, but this was spactacular. It was awsome. From then on no other song topped Jesus of Suburbia.
Holiday was a wonderful anti-war balled. By the time St. Jimmy was being preformed Billie Joe had left his guitar behind and was only vocals, he really got in to it and got the audience into it by making obscene gestures.
By the time Extrodanary Girl rolled around the burning smell of marijuana filled the air and the audience was going crazy, the trumpet player nailed the song making it very good live preformance of that song, all though the recored version is a little weak.
I had no idea what would come soon after a song called Homecoming, it blew any other song and tied Jesus of Suburbia, in my opinion.
Mike Dirnts vocals fit the song perfectly, it was preformed flawlessly. After the album was finished the screams and shout rocked the concert hall and Green Day gave a 7 song encore.
Including one of the best covers I've seen done We Are The Champions was a crazy cover, and it made my day. BEST CONCERT EVER.
