Green Day at Wembley Stadium

I haven't been able to blog, because my family and I are on vacation in London and the internet we have in the apartment is intermittent at best. Anyhow, the family is enjoying seeing London.


Seeing Green Day at Wembley Stadium was a blast. It was their largest audience ever. Joan Jett opened and did a fine job, playing classics such as "I Love Rock and Roll" and "Crimson and Clover". Green Day were really on top of their game, and the crowd was jumping all over the place. They played every one of my old favorites. The only criticism I have is that they played only four songs from their new album, and the new album is terrific. My wife would have enjoyed it more if they had at least played "Peacemaker"!

Oh well, Pearl Jam in Hyde Park this Friday!

  4. Yes, my sons enjoyed it also. It was their first rock concert. I loved seeing them jumping up and down and clapping their hands above their heads.

  7. Funny to hop the pond to see American bands... but they all sound like shows I'd love. Enjoy!

  8. I didn't have to hop the pond, Tart, as we are currently living in Azerbaijan. We never get any good bands there, so I have no choice but to fly to see what we want.

  9. Hi Ted, glad you're enjoying London - and presumably the weather. Thanks for the advice ref installing the 'followers widget' and other techno stuff.

    Sorted, though I seem to have inadvertantly 'followed' myself in the process :)

  11. Thanks, Amanda. I must wait until I get home before I can comfortably write any more posts. I have to sit on a hard floor corner in this London apartment just to do a bit of reading on the net. Pearl Jam in two hours!
