Hi Supers!

Tell me about something cool you saw live.

I saw Green Day in June of 1994. They had just released their breakthrough album, Dookie, in February of that year. When the band had booked the festival, they were a prominent local punk band and were given an early afternoon slot.

I was already a massive Green Day fan. My friends and I had just graduated high school, and we were looking to a great day of music.

By the time of the show, Green Day was one of the hottest acts on the planet. The pop-punk trio was brilliant, blazing through three of their new hits. But their time slot was soon over. The band refused to leave the stage. Billy Joe Armstrong told the crowd to yell if they didn’t want the band to stop performing.

We yelled.

They played a couple more songs, and then someone from backstage came out and tried to get the band to leave and took the microphone. Billy Joe wrested the mic back and yelled for us to, “tear out the fucking seats!” Then the sound cut out.

Bille Joe started to take off his clothes. He was eventually escorted off by police officers.

It was one of the most high-energy sets I’ve ever seen.

What about you? What memorable live performances have you seen?

Cheers,

Jason

P.S. My printer is having some supply chain issues. Wild Divinity will still launch on January 30th, but it will take a bit longer before I have signed copies available. I will be putting up the pre-order page for signed copies as soon as I can.
