Last Friday, the 29th, Green Day prepared a surprise for the fans who attended the warm-up show for Lollapalooza Chicago in the United States, which took place the following Sunday, the 31st. The group, without the constraints of their most recent tour, played rarities from their catalog.
The result was a set with songs not played live for 20 years, such as “Church On Sunday” and “Warning.” They also played songs from albums before their fame, such as “Private Ale,” “Christie Road,” and “One of My Lies”—all from Kerplunk (1991), the album preceding their huge hit Dookie (1994).
Other songs that hadn't been played in a while got their chance, such as "Whatsername," from the classic American Idiot (2004), which was played for the first time since 2005, and "Letterbomb," which was revisited after being absent from the setlist for almost five years.
The show, of course, also featured the band's greatest hits such as "American Idiot," "Holiday," "Longview," and "Basket Case." See the complete setlist of the show at the end of this article, as well as videos of the performance.
One of Green Day's next stops is Brazil. The band will be playing at Rock in Rio on September 9th.
