the band played every song like it was their last chance at playing it - ever - and the crowd loved every minute of it. they took fans up on stage, threw them off it, sprayed the crowd with both water and t-shirts and they played hits spanning their whole career.
the only downside to the show for me personally was that the show got kind of unfocused for the last 30 minutes. a bit much fooling around, breaking off songs and the 'gay', rainbow-colored comic relief scenario (you had to be there) seemed to miss it's mark, although i'm sure the younger members of the crowd found it entertaining.
check out the videos i've posted and leave your comments. i apologize for the sound quality, but there you go for trying to make the iphone do it all...(the video for american idiot is really 'bouncy' due to everyone around me going bananas when the played it. certainly gives you the feeling of being in the crowd, though....)
