Green Day — Pinkpop Festival, 2013

Full concert of Green Day headlining the Pinkpop Festival on the Main Stage at Megaland in Landgraaf, Netherlands, in June 2013. The California trio led by Billie Joe Armstrong appears here on the 99 Revolutions Tour, mid-way through its comeback run after the abrupt 2012 hiatus and Armstrong’s stint in rehab. This filmed live concert alternates songs from the ¡Uno! ¡Dos! ¡Tré! trilogy with a sweep of classics from Dookie, American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown: « American Idiot », « Holiday », « Boulevard of Broken Dreams », « Basket Case » and « Minority » sit alongside newer cuts like « 99 Revolutions » and « X-Kid ». The full-concert format captures the band’s punk-rock drive and its command of a festival crowd, from mass sing-alongs to the extended « Jesus of Suburbia » suite. A valuable record of Green Day live at the height of its stage reputation.
