Still as energetic as in 2005, still as interactive, polished, silly and powerful a presence on the stage.

The entire audience sung along to near every song, swayed arms, crowd surfed, moshed, danced, clapped and serenaded the band throughout their three hour, double entendre encore feast of a performance. The energy was high as Billie Joe regularly dragged audience members up to sing along, dive off stage or take over the band’s instruments - a night after night ritual, rather than a choreographed piece.

Everything feels natural, and though you know these things happen night after night, it feels fresh, genuine, electric and fully breathes of enthusiasm.

Fed from the audience’s energy amix with crazy tearing fans, men dodging security to snog the band and entire verses performed purely by the chorus of 20,000 attending, this is not a chore to attend or to play. This is a priviledge.

They know that, we know that. Now you do.

“Its something unpredictable and in the end that’s right. I hope you had the time of your life”
