Here's a quote from the Seattle Times review:
A different review from Spin magazine had plenty more good things to say about the show. You can see the full setlist at the end of this article:
Happy 4th of July to everyone in the USA. Sorry about the delay in getting this post up, I was having some trouble with the internet.
The tour continues tonight in Vancouver.

Here's a quote from the Seattle Times review:
With nearly two decades of music under their belt, the trio knows what it's doing, and they incorporated all the elements of a stellar show. The always charismatic lead singer Armstrong asked the audience to sing along, call back and even join him on stage. Some lucky fans got to dance on stage and sing along to Armstrong on guitar. One male fan even kissed Armstrong on the lips.
The frontman also threw T-shirts into the audience, and sprayed fans with a large water gun. It was a true party.

These are moments lifelong fans are made of.
Say what you want about Green Day's methods or motivation. The band's relationship with its audience is disarmingly real, a cross-generational give-and-take that's as punk as any Gilman Street scroungers today.
