Green Day Kick Off World Tour Post by: Eddie Ruckus - Rockin' Blogger 6 July, 2009 - 7:42 AM

Green Day launched their word tour in Seattle over the weekend and going by the reports and YouTube footage from the concert, we’re in for one hell of a show when the band hits our shores in December.

Green Day bashed out an epic two-hour gig on the opening night in a show that featured countless unforgettable moments.

Using a massive, ever-changing video screen as a backdrop, Green Day cut through a huge chunk of 21st Century Breakdown, as well as a slew of their greatest hits and a couple of unexpected covers [including 1950s’ hits “Shout!” and “Stand By Me”].

First night highlights included Billie Joe Armstrong pulling a fan out of the crowd who played a note-perfect version of “Jesus of Suburbia” on Billie Joe’s guitar.

Green Day now play almost a show every night in the lead-up to landing in Perth for the start of the Australian leg of the tour on December 4.

The set-list for the opening night was:

“21st Century Breakdown”
“Know Your Enemy”
“East Jesus Nowhere”
“Holiday”
“Static Age”
“Before the Lobotomy”
“Are We Waiting”
“Geek Stink Breath”
“Hitchin’ a Ride”
“Brain Stew”
“Jaded”
“Longview”
“Basket Case”
“She”
“King For A Day/Shout”
“Stand By Me”
“21 Guns”
“American Eulogy”
“American Idiot”
“Jesus of Suburbia”
“Boulevard of Broken Dreams”
“Minority”
“Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)”

Do you approve of the set-list?

  Wicked set-list. I love how they opened with three tracks for the new album including Eat Jesus Nowhere, the best track on the album.

  Great encore as well!
