Show notes

This was the band's first known show as Green Day after changing their name from Sweet Children.

Scott Torguson (Promoter for the show): "According to my list they actually used the name Green Day at this show, after using Sweet Children the week before at Gilman. My guess is that both this and the Recycled Records show were advertised as Sweet Children, but by the time they played they were Green Day."

I was talking to Ken Doose about old Sacramento and Green Day flyers, where we got to the Davis show on Apr 7, 1989!!! We all believe that the band plays like Sweet Children, however the guy who was at the show said that on his list the band was as Green Day, so this would be the first show with the current name, and the Gilman show a week before the last as Sweet Children; I spoke to Scott Torguson and he confirmed that the band changed its name and introduced itself as Green Day to the public, he commented that he booked two of their shows there, but at this show he was only present.
