Green Day

This was a good show. There were 4 bands in a stadium environment. Accessibility of merch was top notch. There were merch tables through the stadium on all levels. The audience turned out also, it was a good crowd. Green Day played very well, fast paced, high energy, covered lots of songs. The technology, lights, props, fire, video was very well done. Camera direction and mix for the video screens was well coordinated, very well done. The sound could have been better, understanding it was a stadium show, the sound is never quite right, melding bass and drums with vocals and other instruments. For Green Day in a stadium, sound was about as good as could be expected. For Smashing Pumpkins it wasn’t. Bass and drums dominated the sound. Maybe it was just their music. It sounded more like noise than music. Rancid and The Linda Lindas played well. During Rancid, the “Pit” circle jerk developed, as the Pit audience was into the music.
