Details
Location:
X-Ray Cafe in Portland, OR
Date:
July 17, 1991
Other Acts:
The Last Pariahs
Notes:
  • Very low attendance (about 9 people)
  • The Last Pariahs: "Everybody played there. Every big band played there. Yeah, we played a show with Green Day there in '91.
  • "I actually saw Green Day there in '91..."
  • Billie Joe Armstrong: "80 was written in Portland, OR on the beginning of our 1991 tour. Summer. Subjects in songs become more complex in time. What used to be one muse or subject can become many. Hard to describe."
  • "This is a band I came to know via my friend Hank who was friends with lead singer Billie Joe. They used to stay at his house when they came touring in the Pacific Northwest. I really loved that band I saw at the X-Ray Cafe. When the concert was finished they drove with us to Longview where we had a party at Jennifer's mom's. Then we went to a small restaurant that we took apart and start a quick concert where Billie played drums, Tre played guitar and we took turns singing. I sang At The Library with Ricky. Later on they became famous."
