American Idiot

This show had one of the most incredible sets I've ever seen. Wallpapered to the ceiling with newspaper, drawings, black and white photos, and old TV sets -- it transported me into the Bay Area underground rock scene instantly. The set was reminiscent of Oakland warehouses I frequented not too long ago (but longer than I wish) to watch The Mass, Lower Forty Eight, Greenlight the Bombers...

Once I got over the set, I was faced with an hour and a half of Green Day.

Now, I like Green Day, but I'm also familiar with why the Bay Area rock scene has sort of rejected Green Day, and the first half of this show felt very... :/ Yeah. Luckily, the second half managed to transcend the "limits", and I found myself quite moved and a bit nostalgic by the end...and I can honestly say that I loved this show.

I was in the wonderful company of Roland and Josh tonight. :)
