Show notes

The Dallas Morning News: "For a snot-nosed punk band like Green Day, maturity is best tackled in tiny increments. On its recent Warning CD, the manic Bay Area trio expanded upon its trademark three-chord blitzkrieg bop by dabbling in slower tempos and jazzier styles. But in concert Thursday night at the Bronco Bowl, Green Day played down its recent growth spurt and played up its time-honored image as the velocity-crazed goofballs of punk. And you can't blame them. As interesting as it might have been to hear them reinvent themselves, the mosh-minded capacity crowd didn't come to hear musical change-ups. They came to rock, and Green Day wasn't about to kill their buzz. They did toy with their rhythms now and again, testing out a rockabilly-ish beat in the new Blood, Sex and Booze and propelling another tune with swinging, Gene Krupa-style percussion. Yet those were the exceptions to the louder-faster rule. From the grunged-out stutter-strut of Brain Stew to 300 mph rockers such as Welcome to Paradise, they stuck to their familiar blend of bubble-gum melodies and jackhammer instrumentation. Like most Green Day shows, the music often took a backseat to the band's high jinks. Billy Joe Armstrong played the role of court jester to the hilt – shining a huge beam light in fans' eyes, doing impromptu Bruce Springsteen impressions and, when all else failed, riffing on his pet subject: masturbation."

Chris: "Dallas, TX 1.11.01 1st show on the WARNING: tour Strapped in my Green leather
boots and Army Pants. I put on my dookie shirt and hit the road by 5:00pm. It
was about an hour drive to Bronco Bowl. I was shaking the whole way....this
was my first Green Day concert, and ive been a fan for 7 yrs so this was a
HUGE thing for me. We got up to the stadium and i stuck my head out the
window and started screaming my head off. I walked up to the front and there
were the tour buses. So I had to stop and pose for a picture, of course. We
got to the doors and the line was huge. About a 1hr and 1/2 wait, and I got
in a little after "the get up kids" started. Im not familiar with any G.U.K.
songs so i cant tell you what they played but they were awesome. The G.U.K.
set ended about 9:00 after that they thanked Green Day for putting them on
tour and Green Days stage started being set up. Im such a looser....i was
freaking out and hyperventilating. I was up against the bar in the pit and
Bronco bowl is tiny so i knew Id be hella close. They were done setting up
about 9:30 and Green Day came on. When Mike walked on I screamed my ass off
and got teary-eyed. I was right next to him. Like 5ft away, coulda touched
him (sept the guards are assholes) close. They started with "Nice Guys Finish
Last" and in the words of Billie "Im so fucking happy i could cry." Then
Billie was like "Im going to run for Gov. of Texas! Vote for me in 2002! And
our theme song will be" and he started to play Blood Sex and Booze. It was
cool as hell. They played for about 2hrs and 15 mins. The set went something
like this:
Nice Guys Finish Last
Blood Sex and Booze
Castaway
Longview
Welcome to Paradise
Geek Stink Breath
Hitchin a ride
Brain Stew
She
86 (and it later turned into) FOD
2000 light years away
Knowledge (which my friend Tyler got to go on stage and play guitar

Good Riddance {time of your life}
King for a day
Waiting (i cried through out the entire song....this is my fav. GD song "Ive
been waiting a life time for this moment to come.")
Macys Day Parade (pleasant surprize)
Basket Case
When I come Around During the end of Warning two guys were basically killing
each other and Billie stopped the song and yelled at them. He was like "Hey
you two...stop fighting we're here to have a good time. No lets not kick them
out. Instead make them shake hands, ok guys shake hands and you wont get
kicked out. Now get naked. And rub your nipples" OMG it was such an awesome
show. I got squirted with Billie Joe's squirt gun and Mikes water bottle.
Never again will I wash my dookie shirt.I can honestly say I had the "time of
my life". Billie even said we were the best first show they've ever had.
Until next time Have a Green Day!"
