TVD Live Shots: Green Day with Best Coast at the Patriot Center, 4/4

Green Day, the trio from Berkeley, California hit the Patriot Center at George Mason University like an unstoppable freight train last Thursday night to entertain the good people of DC and the surrounding areas.

Serving up their three-chord, punk melodies to the packed arena crowd, the guys not only seemed to be in their usual good spirits, but clearly owned the stage and exhibited just why they are venerated arena players. Billy Joe Armstrong, Tre’ Cool, and Mike Dirnt make up the hard rocking threesome, and are joined by guitarist and vocalist Jason White.

To invoke a personal and intimate experience for a crowd is a hard thing to pull off, even when playing at a smaller venue. To invite that same experience within an arena is a daunting task which Green Day seems to do with ease—bringing as much energy and as much of a personal experience to the large stage as they did within smaller venues—such as at DC’s beloved 9:30 club when it was located at 930 F Street, which I witnessed.
