Ok here I am to tell you about the concert. I dont remember the exact order of things but I'll try to be as exact as I can. At 7 a band from Florida played. I forgot the name. At around 8 o'clock Jimmy Eat World came on. They played (dont remember the order) Pain, futures, work, sweetness, work, and in the middle and ended at 8:30ish. At 9 the pink bunny came out doing the YMCA. Everyone was doing it with him. The venue is huge so it looked really cool seeing about 80,000 people doing the YMCA together. A few minutes later. The lights seemed to get dimmer. There were 3 red curtains. Greenday came out running and everyone was screaming. He asked us to do the wave and we did. IT was really funny. THe first song was American IDiot. He said "I Want you to scream so F**king loud that all the rednecks in america hear you" They started playing and everyone was singing with them. The curtains fell and all that was there was a banner in the middle. IT was pretty amazing. Here are the songs I remember them playing. I think that theyre pretty much in order.

American Idiot
JoS
Holiday
We Are the Waiting
StJimmy
Longview
Basket Case
She
Hitchin A Ride
King for a Day
Brain Stew
Jaded
Knowledge
Maria
Shout
Wake me up when September Ends
Minority
We are the Champions
Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Good Riddance

HEre are the highlights and basics of each song
-During American Idiot He kept running to the sides of the stage. HE played the guitar over his head and at the end of this or Holiday I cant even remember there was an explosion that was awesome. After American Idiot Billie said "This is the biggest show that we ever did.New Jersey are you READY?!?" He kept blowing kisses to the audience which was extremely sweet. Then he started laughing... you can tell how much he loves what he does and that he really loves his fans.
-Before Jesus of Suburbia started he said "This song is about a small town kid (or boy I dont remember what Billie said)"
-Holiday came on and he said "This song is not anti-america, its anti-warrrr" During the end where he says "The representative from california has the floor..." He said "Lights out" The lights on the stage went out and he was laughing into the microphone. Then there were fireworks at the end of the song. It was pretty awesome
-During these three songs he said "New F**king JErsey." alot.
-I think after Holiday he introduced the band. It might have been a few songs later but w/e. He introduced Jason White and Jason Freese. Then he introduced Mike DIrnt. He said "This is the best bass player in the world Mike Dirnt!" Then he said "ON drums... the man I shower naked with Tre COOL" Everyone screamed and cheered. Then he said "And me Im George Bush" Everyone booed. Then he said "NO Im *******." Then he got into his next song.
-HE asked the audience to repeat after him. He said "Heeyyyy O" we repeated after him after a few times. Then he started saying "ahh" It was so low and it was like a sex moan. IT was so funny. Everyone was laughing but we kept repeating. Billie Was so funny. He lifted his guitar and then put his hands down his pants and started moaning. It was definitely one of the funniest moments of the night.
- During King For A day every single person in the crowd was singing along. Billie had his crown on and everyone in the band was wearing a hat. Billie mooned the crowd a few times. Then there flames that went off on the stage. IT was insane
-Billie pulled up a little kid from the audience to shoot the crowd with water.
-Next Billie said " For the first time ever I want to make a band right NOW! I need someone to play the drums." He picked a guy out of the audience "Do you know how to play drums?" the guy said yes "YOu swear to god?" the guy said yes."How long have you been playing drums?" The guy said how many years. ( i dont remember exactly) then he said "GET the f**k on stage!" The guy got on stage with help of the security guards. "NOw I need someone to play the bass." He picked a guy and said "DO you know how to play bass?" The guy said yes "You swear to god?" The guy said yes and Billie said "GET the f**K on stage." Finally he said " Now I need someone to play guitar." He picked a girl and asked the same questions. She got on stage. HE hugged her (Lucky girl lol) HE gave her his guitar to play and then they started playing. Everyone screamed and Billie said "This is the best F**King band I ever made!" Then he said to the girl "You know what?" She didnt answer and Billie said "YOu can keep the guitar." Then he told the guy who played the bass he had to stage dive. HE did it and everyone laughed.
- Before Brain Stew, Billie played a note and made one side of the stadium cheer. He shrugged his shoulder like it was pretty loud and my side of the stadium should be louder then them. HE played another note and my side of the stadium screamed even louder. Then he went back and forth with the notes and everyone cheered.
-During wake me up when september ends he dedicated the song to the victims of hurricane katrina. During the end of the song sparks came down on the stage and it looked amazing.
-During we are the champions every single person was cheering screaming and singing.
-Billie constantly blew kisses to the audience. He smiled and laughed after he did because he was so happy. He touched peoples hands on the floor too and thanked us for coming out.

The show was the best show ever. IF you ever get a chance to go to a GReenday concert, BUY THE TICKETS. It was amazing, insane, funny and there was never a dull moment. Its going to be one of those nights I talk about for the rest of my life. GReenday rocks!
