My 1 year concert-iversary!

One year ago today I went to my first Green Day concert at the SaveMart Center in Fresno, California. I bought tix for $100 on eBay, and talked a woman at work into going with me.

I had been entranced by American Idiot for the previous 10 months or so, but in the span of two hours I was transformed into a fanatic.

A few days later I discovered comingclean, in January I signed up for an LJ, and the rest, as they say, is history!

In honor of the occasion, I present to you a video from that very same show. This was a song not on the regular setlist, performed especially for a guest in the audience.


The guest: Chris Relva
The song: J.A.R. -- his brother.

Green Day -- J.A.R. Fresno, CA 1 Oct 05 32 MB

Enjoy!

I am soooooo excited toooooo! My costume is complete, although I haven't actually put it all together yet, but I have all the parts. Now we just have to figure out how to smuggle booze in!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! This is a most important one! *smooches*

[revid.livejournal.com]

Yep, and I've got a couple more coming up! Soooo exciting! EIGHT DAYS!

Coolness! Happy Green Day Concert-iversary! I'm actually right now working on my post for mine. =)

What I love about this footage is how they played that song because Chris was there...but then they must have gone "gee, we haven't played that in ages - that was fun - lets play that again" cause they did it again a week later in Carson. Or, in my other theory on the subject, Tre wanted to do it again 'cause he messed this one up and he wanted to get it right. =)

That theory sounds as good as any to me!

Can't wait to read your post...Be sure to link back to the original Barb and Deb's Excellent Adventure post, because it was so much fun to read!

Happy Concert-versity! Tis a day for celebration. I had no idea they played J.A.R. Fresno, so thanks for the linkage. They did play it in Carson, though--along with Homecoming and *I think* Maria...I started getting drunk towards the end, so the memory's fuzzy.

Now I gotta get ready to post my concert reflections and shmoopiness (with pics!) for the 9th. It's been an awesome year. I've gotten to know so many great people in this time.

Nothing in the world like fandom. *happy sigh*

*not versity..the brain's a little intoxicated right now. Nevermind the worng spelling. :P

Hey, it's a good thing my mac had a built in spellchecker, because otherwise, even sober I can't spell for shit!


Dude, how was your job interview, anyway?

[sick-of-me03.livejournal.com]

It went okay. I got sick like halfway through it. My stomach did a lurch and I wanted to bolt so bad. I don't even remember half of the shit she was saying.

But...the position was for In-patient and I *really* don't want to do that. So she asked me if it was something I was interested in, and I was like "Honestly..in-patient hospital isn't something I'm looking for," but the lady was so cool so she put me down that I perfered Out-patient hospital, so she said she'll call me in a week. I dunno...we'll see. I'm not sure I want to be a Pharmacist.

Hey, it's actually a good thing you were honest.

And I wouldn't be too concerned about the career choice self-doubt either...Pharmacist is actually a pretty good job. There are enough different practice situations that you can find something that suits you. Think of it this way: It will pay you well enough so you can do the things you really want to do!

*sings J.A.R. out loud and misses them live so much*

[thelackey.livejournal.com]

I hear ya. And I'm sure with the other upcoming 'anniversary' posts that we'll be getting hit with; they surely are not going to help the situation.

Oh wow, happy concert-versary! Isn't it awesome when you get vids of the very concerts you were at?

I completely missed my anniversary, it was way back in July. Next year, though, I can't possibly miss it - it'll be my five-year anniversary. Woah.

I just about died from happiness when I got a hold of the Fresno bootleg. It's missing AI, and JOS, but it's better than nothing.


Five years! I'm so jealous of the old school Green Day fans sometimes. :-)

You were at the show at which they played J.A.R.??? Holy crap, Mary. I had no idea - didn't put two and two together like that. The day after the Fresno show I got an email from my sister - in England at the time - entirely in caps lock, freaking out that they played J.A.R. and we were not there. We feel pretty close to that song, because we actually bought the Angus movie soundtrack waaaay back in the day just because it featured a Green Day song. So we were a little sad they never played it for us! ;P But you were there, and that's my six degrees of separation, I guess! *sigh*

But happy anniversary! And also, the link kinda expired up there. Any chance you'll get a chance to reupload? Pretty please? *bats eyelashes*

What a great song too! And Billie's intro to it makes it special.

Keep trying to d/l it...the link is still good, but they pull that crap so people will buy their premium service. :-)

He blows a kiss to him at the end of the song that kills me everytime I watch it.
