Green Day In Ottawa
On Friday night, we headed to Kanata for the Green Day concert. It had been a while since we last saw a live show… Since August last year and the Radiohead concert in Montreal. And best of all, I somehow managed to sneak my Nikon D-60 in.
I remember listening to Green Day when I was in junior high, back in the nineties. I had a tape of Dookie and we would try to understand the lyrics of Basketcase… I like the late American Idiot album too.
The show was just great. The band had a lot of energy: “This ain’t TV,” frontman Billie Joe Armstrong shouted. “Get off your fucking asses.” He had a little kid on stage to perform a preaching trick, a guy and a girl to sing his song and he even lent his guitar. He soaked the crowd with water, fire some toilet paper and threw tee shirts with a gun. The stage was on fire most of the time, with great pyrotechnics effects.
My ears are still ringing but never mind, it was fun.

That must be one wild show! Very exciting!
I am really jealous, I wanted to see them in Albany but tickets were a bit too high for the “decent” seats. I saw them back during their American Idiot tour and they were phenomenal. Best live concert I’ve ever been to.
Great piccies girl, you are a pro!
they have a lot of energy and put on a great show!
i have time of your life (good riddance) on my ipod.
so take the photographs and still frames in your mind.
hang it on a shelf in good health and good time.
tattoos of memories and dead skin on trial.
for what it’s worth, it was worth all the while.
it’s something unpredictable but in the end it’s right.
i hope you had the time of your life.
I love the photos, zhu!
Great pics rock chick! I knew you had it in you. Hey, who said an avid world traveller isn’t able to rock the masses (oh god, that was so lame, hey I just woke up, sue me, LOL!!!).
