07-26 - GREEN DAY AT TIMES UNION CENTER
ALBANY - You can always buy the record. Billie Joe Armstrong understands this at a deeper level than most performers. If you simply want to hear the songs, press play. If you want to experience the music, buy a ticket.
Armstrong and his band, Green Day, are amongst the world’s top live acts simply because they work so hard to make every concert an event.

07-25 - GREEN DAY BLENDS AGGRESSIVE MUSIC SHOWMANSHIP
The audience had plenty of opportunity to get in on the act — a young girl from Avon was brought onstage for an oddly non-threatening sacrifice of her soul in the insistent "East Jesus Nowhere," while an older one was later recruited to play guitar for "Jesus of Suburbia." Three people from the crowd were recruited to take turns singing lead for the breakneck "Longview," to varying degrees of success, but each seized the spotlight until Armstrong mandated the last of them polish off the tune with a stage dive.

07-25 - GREEN DAY EXCELS IN HARTFORD
HARTFORD _ Apparently Billie Joe Armstrong didn't feel like he was getting the proper reaction from the crowd at the XL Center on Friday night. To remedy the situation he left the stage and went into the cheap seats to bang out the current hit "Know Your Enemy," with a fury that, while impressive, would be topped several times throughout the night.
"This isn't television," screamed Armstrong, after the band submitted "21st Century Breakdown" as its opening salvo. "This is a rock' n' roll show!"
Armstrong did ask a lot from the Harford crowd, at various times bringing up fans to sing, play guitar, act as stage props, and hose down the front row with a Super Soaker.
All hands on deck.
By the time all was said and done, nearly three hours later, the audience had finally earned its keep, and Green Day solidified its status as one of the best live bands in the land.

07-24 - US TOUR TO FEATURE A ROVING GALLERY SHOW
Artists Such as Ron English, The London Police, and C215 Created Work Inspired by Each Track on Band's Latest Album 21st Century Breakdown
BURBANK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Green Day have a special treat in store for fans attending their U.S. tour this summer. A roving art gallery will be set up at each venue to display work by a collection of eclectic artists from around the world, each of whom has been asked to create an original piece inspired by a track on Green Day's new album 21st Century Breakdown.
The show is curated by New York-based stencil artist and die-hard punk-rock fan Logan Hicks, whose portraits of band members Billie Joe Armstrong, Tre Cool, and Mike Dirnt will also be on display. A passionate art and music lover, Hicks has assembled an impressive group of noted artists — including world-renowned New York-based painter Ron English, Amsterdam-based street artists The London Police, French stencil artist C215, and British illustrator Will Barras — to show the connection between music and art.
"I chose artists whom I felt had a similar visual approach to art as Green Day does to its music," Hicks says. "Although most of the artists represented are well-established in their careers, they embrace the same emotional rawness with their art, which speaks from the heart and swings with the fist. Their subject matter is struggle and injustice—they shoot from the hip and their art is their weapon."
"We are really excited to be touring with this incredible show," says Armstrong. "Seeing the pieces that our new album has inspired is very exciting. Many of the artists Logan has chosen show their work on the street, and we feel a strong connection to that type of creative expression. We think the fans coming out to see us on the road will love it."
Green Day's 2009 trek is the band's first proper tour of the United States and Canada in more than three years. The tour began July 3rd at Seattle's Key Arena and will cross North America through the summer, including a July 27th stop at New York City's Madison Square Garden before finishing up with a show at the Forum in Los Angeles on August 25th.
