Show notes

Setlist is out of order. Unknown NOFX and Weezer covers (most likely just teases) were played as well.

Greenday.net: "Green Day played an amazing, secret 90 minute set on Friday in London"

Gillian G. Gaar: "The next day, they taped an appearance with Radio 1's Steve Lamacq, and performed that night at King's College in London. The set was a mix of songs from Warning, older songs like "Longview", and more off the-cuff numbers-- as when, after asking the audience, "What cover song do you wanna hear?" Billie Joe answered his own question, playing Generation X's 'Dancing With Myself', confessing afterwards, "We only do this when we've been drinking a lot." For their part, the audience drank to the point where beer began to be hurled at the group; Billie Joe merely closed his eyes when he was soaked and kept on singing. Their last song of the night was The Sex Pistols' 'Holidays In The Sun'. Billie Joe later told writer Ben Myers the gig was, "The best show we've ever played in the UK," and the reviewers agreed.

"Give or take Nirvana, Green Day are the best three-piece band to come out of America since the Stray Cats. Okay, now I've got your attention, I can rave about this riot of a small London gig arranged at short notice to vibe up fans and Radio One Evening Session listeners about Warning the group's fourth release from Warner Brothers. Actually, my opening statement is not that far-fetched. Green Day open with a blistering Welcome To Paradise but, as they settle into the swagger of Hitchin' A Ride, Stray Cat Strut does indeed spring to mind while Billie Joe Armstrong's honest lyrics (Church On Sunday, Misery) convey some of the frustrations but none of the despair of Kurt Cobain's. With his hair dyed black, his skinny tie and his red shirt, Billie Joe Armstrong is the little kid who came good, who reveres The Jam and Stiff Little Fingers and still sings in an English accent when so many Brits are busy aping the Yanks. Watching him, it's comforting to know that there's a corner of California that will forever be Anarchy In The UK. In fact, as if to prove my point, he soon throws out what set list there is and asks the audience: What cover song do you wanna hear? I jokingly tell a friend Dancing With Myself and, when the band launch into the driving intro of the Gen X/Billy Idol classic, I do a double take. I have no idea how I came to make that educated guess and the serendipity makes their heady rendition all the more enjoyable, especially when Armstrong admits: We only do this when we've been drinking a lot. Later, when the diminutive frontman teases the invited audience about a Sex Pistols song, I hope for my favourite Holidays In The Sun and get my wish. Telepathy or what? Green Day may be a bunch of goofy bastards but they're tight as hell too even when they invite three fans to replace them one by one, thus proving that anyone can do this. Rancid, The Offspring and Blink 182 do this too but nowhere near as well as Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool, the true heirs to The Ramones spirit (yes I know, punk has ping-ponged back and forth across the Atlantic). At the time of Dookie, some critics dismissed Green Day as a cartoon act. They ate their words when Basket Case tapped into the teenage psyche with Blood, Sex And Booze now likely to do the same. Now, odd influences creep in like the Bob Dylan-style harmonica on Hold On and the title track of their new album sounds uncannily like Joe Jackson 20 years ago. In fact Minority, the singalong single, is the worst track they play tonight. Last encore is When I Come Around. Billie Joe sees the contents of a pint glass flying towards him, shuts his eyes, gets drenched and smiles gleefully without missing a cue. Punk rock indeed!"

NME: Green Day last night (September 15) debuted a number of tracks from their forthcoming sixth album, ‘WARNING’, during a hush-hush invite-only gig at KINGS COLLEGE LONDON.
New songs unveiled to the eager 500 fans were single ‘Minority’, plus ‘Church On A Sunday’, ‘Blood, Sex & Booze’, ‘Waiting’, and the album title track ‘Warning’.
During the 90-minute set, recorded for future broadcast on Steve Lamacq’s ‘Evening Session’ show on BBC Radio 1, Billie Joe, Tre and Mike also blasted through old favourites and played covers by the likes of NOFX, Operation Ivy, Weezer, Billy Idol, and The Sex Pistols. The band’s loyal fans also regularly drenched the trio in pints of cider.
Frontman Billie Joe found time between tracks to jibe wryly on the petrol crisis and comment on the Napster situation – ‘Warning’ has been widely pirated and is freely available to download from the Internet.
“You shouldn’t download Metallica music off Napster,” he quipped to widespread applause, before adding, “the best things in life are free.”
The band climaxed the show with Mike Dirnst and Tre Cool comprehensively trashing their drums and bass guitar.

from one of the Westwood One CD's entitled Absolutely Live In Concert, hosted by Doug Podell, the songs "Only Of You," and "Dancing With Myself" (tease) came right after Church On Sunday. The song "Holidays In The Sun." was a tease between Warning and Scattered. Show ended with Jackass and When I Come Around. No inclusion of NOFX or Weezer teases, though they might have been omitted due to copyright or production edits. During the song Knowledge, Billy Joe asks people to come up from the crowd and play the guitar which the first person doesn't really know how to play, then a second to play guitar, and finally someone to play bass. He does ask someone to play drums but can't tell if that person actually does play? Either way it's a cool break towards the end of the song.
