TargetQ2: "When I was younger I lived in New Brunswick (Canada) and Green Day came to Fredericton, peed on the crowd, and subsequently got banned from playing there ever again. My mom said something along the lines of, 'If that's how they act, they will never stick around.' Guess she was wrong."
"I went to see Green Day back in 1995, in Fredericton, NB, Canada. One of our local school bus drivers drove us all up there for the price of gas (we lived about two hours away), and he brought a couple dozen of us up there. It was one of the better shows I've ever been to, highly energetic, entertaining, and everyone had fun. Heh, I remember I had dyed my hair red with Kool Aid.
By the time we went home, my ears were ringing, my mascara had run down my face, my dye had run down onto my white T-shirt (but hey, I had my trusty gray plaid shirt on to cover it up, which was the style at the time, I felt like I'd been beat up, and Billie Joe had actually spit in my eye while singing Going to Pasalacqua. I lost my Doc Martin shoe (hee!) but ended up getting it back in the mosh pit of all places. We had snuck our cigarettes in, and lit up before the show started, and one of the security guys saw us and said, 'HEY! You kids! No smoking in here!' And three of us looked at him in horror, then simultaneously squatted down into the crowd. We were never caught, but we finished our cigarettes quickly. Toward the end of the show, Billie dropped his pants, shirt and underwear. He was up there wearing nothing but his socks and his guitar. Sadly, because it was an all ages show, they were banned from playing there for a couple of years. Oops. However, my best friend, Adam, who is gay and had the hugest crush on Billie, came away the happiest that night. The show rocked. They sounded tight, they had fun, we had fun. I'll never forget it."
