RE.Green Day show...........
yeah.it was not too long after American Idiot got a great reception. ??? 04? 05?
Near NYC's City hall.......there's a REALLY BIG family-run Music/video/DVD -portable audio/TV/DVD/MP3 players - Appliances and Computer store!
ACtually it's now
several stores on one block!
I remember when it was ONE SMALL store......the ground FLoor was Stereo equipment and the basement was Vinyl records and tapes! {1974}
THEY SPONSOR Summer Music Concerts in EITHER the little park that is part of the City Hall block...or in Green Day's case a side street west of Broadway/City Hall.
SO I saw the paper ad......liked AI, figured HEY! FREE MUsic that I like! How exciting!
anyway there were in the middle of a modest side street...and I was under a scafolding way on the side but not more than about the equivelent of 3 rows back at most by the right side of the stage.
I'd say I saw them closer with my naked eyes than with my 7th row MSG seats {U2} AND Binoculars........except perhaps when {using my Binocs] Bono walked by about 4 times during the show.
hell, I could see the whites and blues of Bily Joe's eyes! THAT's how close!
