Video: Green Day Play Surprise Gig at San Fran's Independent

Posted 7 months ago

The countdown to Green Day's 21st Century Breakdown is well underway. Only 36 days or some 876 hours (yes, I am a fan!) Last night, the punk rock trio played a secret show at San Francisco's Independent, with tickets only going for $20 a pop. Billed as "Band Practice" the band played more than 30 songs (2 page setlist!) that lasted 2+ hours to a crowd of roughly 500 fans. Here's some short videos from the epic evening and a copy of the set list thanks to SPIN.

Tidbits of 21st Century Breakdown tracks:

"Peace Maker"

"Last Of The American Girls"

"East Jesus"

American Idiot tracks:

"Jesus Of Subrurbia"

"I Dont Care"

Dookie track

"Longview"

    I have always liked Green Day although I consider them to be a bit of a punk sell out. Thanks for your post.

    I'm so sick of the phrase 'sell out' ... it's so overused and ridiculous. 

    I <3 Green Day and always will.  And I also love just about every other group that has been tagged as a sell out and I'm proud of it!     :D
