Friday night at the Fox Theater in Oakland, bands from the Bay Area paid tribute to 924 Gilman and Green Day's Dookie in a special, one-night musical event.

In the middle of the event, with Billie Joe, Mike, and Tré on stage next to her, the Oakland city mayor proclaimed February 19th, 2016 as "Green Day Day" in the city. After the proclamation, Billie Joe took a few minutes to speak about the proclamation, the event, and the impact that music has on not only his life, but humanity's. Read more about the event here in our post from earlier today.

Check out the proclamation and Billie Joe's speech in the video below. Warning: Very high pitched and loud person screams for half of it. Sorry, it's the best video we could find.
