Seats were not in the Ziggo Dome on 31 January. Green Day was on a visit. And we also, taking a look at what we can expect from their show on Pinkpop 2017.
From the moment Green Day on stage, it is clear what a night this is going to be. On the first drumknallen of 'Know Your Enemy' is a swirling room up and down. A few seconds later, the first fireworks display. Not much later, there can be geheehoo't and return the first crowdsurfers in the air. The show is set.
The show of Green Day is part of the Revolution Radio Tour. The most recent accomplishment came in October and gave already a handful of strong singles. 'Bang Bang', 'Still Breathing' and 'Revolution Radio' are also live as a house and feel like a huge relief after the triptych ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré!.
The new songs take about 20% of the setlist in attachment. Furthermore, it is mainly a greatest hits show in which 'Basket Case' 'American Idiot' and 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams, ” still sound as good as they used to. The Ziggo Dome smult and no time to dwell.
Outside the geheehoo and fireworks, we are familiar with the band, the fans and the stage. This evening is no exception. Within five minutes, the first person already on stage. A number of songs later, there must be someone with the band to play (the guitar should of course be kept) and picks up someone else of her time, from the stage to crowd surfing.
in Short, it is a Green Day show as we know him. As we, the band has been time and again saw on all those festivals. But there is something fresh to this show.
The new songs are live toppers and the timing of Revolution Radio was, of course, can’t be better. The concert feels at times as the great anti-Trump show. After Billie Joe Armstrong his opinion about the American president Trump makes clear, the entire Ziggo Dome with fists in the air. The frontman wears then 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' on refugees that America is not more income, and says: the only one that the country is not allowed, it is Trump himself. This band is at the top if they have something to hit to kick.
And at their top they are sure. Billie Joe sounded never better, and has visible meaning in. The singer’s backstage his language skills brushed up. He thanks his mother in English for the guitar that he got her and since then used for every show. Also the audience will not be forgotten. the "Thank you, I love you". No, Billie Joe, you thanks. For this fantastic show and a lovely reminder. After two and a half hours comes with set closer “Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)” this was a fitting end to the energetic concert. Seventeen thousand man is demolished of the jumping and shouting, but met.
at the same time, we can’t help but imagine how this looks at the Pinkpop festival. The thought of a legendary festival-fireworks show, a mighty main stage and a field full of people gives us goose bumps. It Is already June 4?
