Green Day played their final show of the 21st Century Breakdown tour, which started (partly) in April 2009, last night in Costa Rica.
"The show, which wound its way through the anthology of Green Day’s 23 years of punk hits, encapsulated what has kept Green Day atop a genre that has seen many others come and go during the ’90s and ’00s. Amid explosions, fireworks, water hoses on stage and several theatrical, crowd-involving diversions from the music, the group´s effervescent energy, embodied by front man Billie Joe Armstrong, remains just as highly charged as it was 16 years ago, when Green Day first found commercial success with the 1994 album “Dookie.”"
I hate television,” Armstrong said about halfway through the show. “I hate television. I hate the internet. I hate cell phones. I hate cameras. I hate everything that destroys creativity.”
“I hate parties too,” he said. “But tonight is not a party. It’s a celebration. It’s you, it’s me, it’s us here tonight in Costa Rica. And let’s celebrate it! Pura Vida Costa Rica!”They playing a a nice selection old songs :
