[img=102511_MK.jpg]In British newspaper's The Mail on Sunday 'Live' magazine, Jo Whiley (British DJ and TV presenter) made Green Day's performance at the Milton Keynes Bowl in 2005 her No. 2 in "10 of the Greatest Live Performances:"
It's a pretty good snippet about the performance, although I don't remember the "rose petals showering the audience" part!
The 'top ten' also features performances from the likes of Queen, Pulp and The Flaming Lips. David Bowie took number 1 spot for his performance, also at Milton Keynes Bowl, in 1983. You can see the full list here.

This was the perfect show, in a way. They played all their hits, delivered them perfectly, with everyone singing along. There were even rose petals showering the audience at the end of the gig - not exactly what you'd expect from Green Day. They always have some live novelties - like getting three kids up on stage to 'make a band', which never fails to excite. It helped that this was a gloriously hot sunny day, but to play Milton Keynes Bowl and own it, to fill the space completely, was pretty impressive.
