Sweet Children/Green Day: Live at House of Blues [Cleveland, Ohio, USA | April 16, 2015] 

Man their debut album is so underrated

Billie in the 90s: Drop kicks a guy for fighting in the pit Billie in 2015: Hey let's not fight, I love you

i just think it's really cool that green day acknowledges their early days and did a cool show like this playing their old songs with their old drummer. i can't think of another band that would do that. for example, i can't imagine, like, blink 182 doing something like this.

Played two shows with this version of Green Day in 1990. We were 2 bands from Vancouver touring down the west coast and they were running up the coast. We crossed paths with the two shows (Santa Cruz and Chico) and the guys in GD were nice enough to GIVE us a grocery bag about 1/3 full of weed which we were extremely thankful for. They were something special even before they added Tre. These early songs are my favourite songs still. You can definitely notice how much Tre added to the band's explosiveness and allowed Mike to really stretch out on bass. This is super cool even if John's drumming is kinda pedestrian. I want to cast Green Day aside and not even have any emotional attachment to them in the present day but...they do something like this and, you have to appreciate them for taking an impromptu trip down memory lane...the guest guitar player/guitar giveaway is killer too. I still have peripheral contact with them via their former manager (lives in Vancouver...plays with other good friends and former bandmates of mine) and I have to admit...Mike and I can still have a great conversation about bass players and playing...classic television shows, and, how mutual friends who may have faded away from either or both of us are doing. I would never be able to comprehend the insane path that their lives have taken... But, that sack o weed was a lifesaver

They should do shows like this more often... And also outside of the States

mohawk security guard is having a blast

I fucking LOVE mohawk security dude singing every word

i wish i was there, hopefully they do a show where they just perform their early stuff again. i would go in a heartbeat

I wish we had a couple more years with John. He was electric at every show and interview. He wrote I Was There.

Billie fucked up the beginning of Green Day (the song) as that part of the intro is supposed to be played 3 times, I’m glad Mike and John were able to pick up in time, you can hear John change beat while mike keeps going at 40:38.

GOD DAMN BILLIE SHREDDING I HAVENT HEARD THAT SINCE THE 90S

Idk how I'd feel if a band I left blew up without me, I probably would feel really stupid. It's cool that John is still on good terms with Mike and Billie though to where they reunited like this, would love to have been there as I really liked their first album.

If I could go to one greenday show. this would be it.

Dont leave me Johns drumming tighter than HIGHSCHOOL performance!!!!

Seems John’s still got it! And no stick drops! My favorite album, too bad they didn’t play going to pasalacqua!

Such a brilliant idea of Billie to do this. Goes to show where he stands as a artist. Adapting to the times. At the same time he’s got a heart of gold.

BROOO I REMEMBER WATCHING A LIVESTREAM SOME DUDE WAS DOING OFF PERISCOPE WHEN THIS WAS GOING ON!!! HOLY SHIT IT"S BEEN LIKE 5 YEARS!! JEALOUS OF ANYONE WHO COULDVE WENT TO ThIS!!

Pure respect. That's what this band has always shown. That is one of the main requirements in the Punk Rock scene. To bring back John Kiffmeyer like this is classy. And Tre Cool f course encouraged this as he is grateful to have had the opportunity to be in one of the greatest bands. Kiffmeyer did pretty good for this set.

Whoa i didn't know John played with them again At 13:30 i love the way Billie said "i love you" to the guy and the way he stopped the band to sort out the fight from the audience. What a nice dude ❤

Their first four albums by far were my favorite have all of them but the old ones are the ones I grew up with and still rock to almost daily and I’m 43

this is without a doubt the coolest gig green day has ever done, prove me wrong.

The left hand hi hats & ride hit different

I love how the whole time Billie is playing his guitar blue proof that’s his favourite guitar

I think John has a rare style of drumming.

One of the best nights of my life.

I am so happy they did this. The 13 year old me is loving it.

When they played I Was There...they really WERE there. must mean something new to them after all these years. legends

Damn their first drummer was fuckin amazing too

They actually finished paper lanterns?! I guess this really is old school Green Day

John is a living part of history

That story about their first ever show and it how the venue was knocked down in 2004&replaced with a fuel station made me laugh at the face Billie pulled when John said that lol

This is my favorite modern (known) Green Day show.

Man, I'm jealous. It sounded so good.

the people there were so lucky! Some of us will never hear these songs live :O

Thank you whoever made this

THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS I WAS HOPING FOR THAT GREEN DAY WOULD DO/DID. PLAY GREEN DAY LIVE. WHENEVER I TRY AND SEARCH FOR IT ITS ALWAYS A DIFFERENT SONG FROM 39/smooth

so weird hearing billie sing like he did in the early days when he was trying to sound british

That was great.

Anyone knows what’s the little song Al and Billie sing in Disappearing Boy?? The one that goes: nobody ever... bla bla... bla bla haha I would appreciate it

Awesome keep that coming so good

Love this rare moment

This is so magical.

Finally it’s back on RU-vid I’ve been looking for this

Gotta love Mike's bassline in 1039/sosh songs...!

Hey! That’s the Mohawk security guard from when they played with Tim Armstrong

i get goosebumps just listening to this performance

Great drummer john!!! 💪🏻 I love that first álbum!

OMG. I was there is amazing

This is so amazing,, Green Day... You are truly my inspiration...

omg thats so wholesome with john

I’ve always wanted to hear their namesake song and it’s a quite a good song actually wow I wasn’t expecting it to be this good

I lived like an hour away from Cleveland at the time and tried like crazy to get tickets to no avail. Literally my dream concert to see songs like these live in a smaller space. I did get to go to the induction ceremony the next day which was still cool af

Paper Lanterns has always been my fav Green Day song.

Lovely set list. Had they played "Best Thing in Town", it would have been... Well, it already was ;).

Best era of Green Day hands down. All their best material is here.

Paper Lanterns is my favourite song from 39/smooth

i just hope Blink will do the same thing like Green Day. Reunites and play their old songs with Scott Raynor.

Awesome idea my favourite album 👌 Al is umm chattier than I expected 😉

Funny how a fight breaks out during sweet children

So crazy seeing 2015 Billie Joe singing with the voice of early 90s Billie Joe with Al Sobrante playing the drums. But cool as fuck!

Muito bom

31:23 Ohh that move John!!

I know this sounds odd but I want them to make a single or something that has John in it because it would be cool to see what green day would sound like with him.

One song their missing is 16

25:29 that riff is so so good

I hope they do this again

John is a really good drummer

This wouldve been so cool to see

John！

How early did you have to get there before doors opened to get those good general admission spots? I’m going to see a show at this venue in October so just trying to get a general idea. Thanks!

i'd kill to be there

Raridade

Haven’t heard dry ice either and it’s not too bad either

Sweeet children reunion!!!!

old songs are simple and catchy put them on set list!

"Don't try to find [Rod's Hickory Pit]. They tore it down and replaced it with a gas station" Me: *tries to find the gas station*

I don´t know if anyone knows this, but "kiffen" is German and means smoking pot :D Kinda funny if the drummers name of Green Day is Kiffmeyer

Esas canciones me asen venir

Not going to this as somebody who lives within an hour from this HoB will haunt me to the grave.

Wow... if they had Going to Pasalacqua, this would have been ungodly...

Great performance, I’ve watched this a couple times now. These old jams are always great to hear. But what I want to know is, what was the fight over? Also what was on the piece of paper thing that Mike holds up?

This isn't green day. It's sweet children. And it's so killer awesome.

I want Billie saying I love you to be my ringtone

31:35 John plays Disappearing Boy better than Tre does! Tre doesn't do the fast rolls between the verses like that. John is more a Travis Barker style where he just goes full Beast Mode. And his snare sounds awesome.

Damn i love 1039 drums vibe and i always knew it its something different with this sound, he is left handed yeah ;P?

Chord progression From: GIRL I WANT TO BE WITH YOU!???

@13:10 you know you’ve matured when you don’t dropkick people from the stage

OLD TIMES

O maior fã nesse show era o segurança do moicano verde kkkkkk

Ha ha the crowd all cheered for John Kiffmeyer but when green day came onstage they cheered louder

Why didn’t they going to Pasalaqua? Their best song!

Tem CD ou DVD pra comprar ?

Does anyone know what amp Billie is using?

really nice attitude! So sad that blink never acted this way and never call their first drummer Scott Raynor, who worked on their first three albums (their best time), for a gig.. or maybe for 3 or 4 songs! Shame on Mark and Tom! Scott rules... and of course, Green day too!

When they will have concert in cleveland next time?

Hope blink-182 doing like this, make concert with their past drummer Miss you, scott raynor :(

cool show was it announced before hand?

It's interesting cause just from this one little show you can kinda see why this drummer didn't work out. There's a chemistry issue with him and billies personality that don't mix very well. Pay attention and you'll see it it's interesting.

What amp is that? Gallien-Krueger?

Green day BR cadê os BR?
