Matt and I went to a Green Day concert last night in Orlando. We had an awesome time. We've both been fans of Green Day since high school, but in the last five years they've really emerged into an artistically grown-up band. Their last two albums, American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown, can both be described as "concept art" and really need to be listened to from start to finish. Yeah, they've both got their catchy singles, but the entire albums are pieces of art.
And those boys know how to put on a show. The concert started kind of late (8PM) and they didn't play until about 8:45 (Kaiser Chiefs opened for them). They played for almost 2.5 hours and did a nice mix of their old and new stuff. Matt and I had floor tickets, but only because I couldn't get seats. However, we found two girls in the front row of the seats that wanted to trade, so it worked out. We didn't end up using the seats, however - we were on our feet the whole time jumping and singing and screaming. I am dog tired today, my throat is raspy and sore, my ankle and knee are yelling at me and I have a blister on my hand from clapping - but it was all totally worth it.
