Green Day - Missing You (Live) - 2013
RANDOM THOUGHTS... "Missing You" is my favorite song on Tre! and this is an excellent live performance of it at the Rock am Ring festival in Germany on June 9, 2013. They were the headliners on the final day of the music-fest, and judging by this performance (plus other clips I've seen) and their 26-song setlist that day, it sounds like it was an awesome show. Rock am Ring takes place annually at the Nurburgring racetrack, and if I were to reckon, I'd say there's about 30,000-50,000 people in the crowd (just eyeballing it).
... Top-notch performance by the entire band here, they really sound great live. Billie's voice sounds strong, Mike is spot-on with the bass and back-up vox, and Tre really kills it on the skins. It's great to see they're still out there rocking and playing this excellent music. Best rock band on the planet!
... One of the reasons I like the Green Day Trilogy so much is because they can drop songs like "Missing You" and "Stay the Night" into their set-list alongside classics like "Burnout" and "Holiday" and they don't sound out of place. The new songs are fantastic, just as rockin' and melodic as their old stuff. If anything, I wish there were more Trilogy songs on their set-list! "Ashley" and "Makeout Party" would be awesome.
... I just realized that even if you took those 26 songs out of their catalog, you could still go through the rest of their songs and find 26 more tracks that would constitute a kick-ass live show. That's how many good songs they've written! Don't believe me? Here, check this out...

There you go. By the way, if they played that set-list, the show would rule! Tons of great tracks in there (including many songs they used to play live but have since been squeezed out for time) from every album, every era. I made the list without breaking a sweat, and I could make another list of 26 after this one that would still rule if they played it live. Think about that: This list of songs is better than most bands write in their entire career and this is the stuff that Green Day has to leave out of their live show because they've got too many other awesome songs to play. Amazing!
