my dad knew Green Day back when they we're Sweet Children. first saw them play late '87 or early '88. he met up with the band after the show (you could do that back then since it was just a local gig thing). and he became cool with all of the guys. when 39/Smooth came out Billie gave my dad a cassette. nothing fancy, it was just a blank cassette with the album on both sides. My dad labeled it later. and know I listen to it to this day.

Life Is Good, You Should Get One Yeah, it seems like most don't know what to think. "Where did my 80s hair metal go?" They're literally witnessing a legendary band in the making and don't even know.
i like it that not many people are watching them , This proves that they're not performing for the much views , they do it just for punk rock to love :)
Would love to have one of those "original" $5 records/tapes! They would be a collectors dream! Just the nostalgia too! Awesome footage1 Takes me/us back in time! :)
looking at all these old videos of Green Day is mind blowing. all these people watching them perform back then never would of thought they would make it big. and they did! and even got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! awesome band! I grew up listening to them!
These last two songs are so amazingly performed. I watched all these PVHS videos over this past summer completely baked and it was one of the best things I've ever seen/heard. Truly amazing, sober and high that is actually, still listen to these songs all the time.
james kilpatrick truth! Perfect example of underground local band that made it BIG. BJs style and voice, and the way they sound make most of their music catchy af.
I have seen all the videos from start to finish and have noticed that in the first video had almost no audience, but was gradually reaching people, and look at the end, almost the whole school was there!!! this is proof that Green Day was really a very good band from beginning to end ... Green Day forever!!
Noble the Heathen For real.....and just to think, I was in 8th grade when this was filmed and going to school just a little north. If I had only known...
i see this video and i think: wow, nobody watching this show and so many people in the show in London 2005. This is the true dream, became reality. Congrats Green Day. Brazil fan
hehehe that's so god futhermukin' damn true! As for the Dry Ice part, it take BALLS of cast iron to pull that sort of thing off in front of your high school. I must have had the shit beaten out of me by the football team for playing that sort of thing! ;) The pounding was so hard I can't recall the show. I only remember it years later, thanks to PTSD :)

Late last night I had a dream And she was in it again She and I were in the sky Flying hand in hand I woke up in a cold sweat Wishing she was by my side Praying that she'll dry the tears Left on my face I've cried Oh I love her Keep dreaming of her Will I understand If she wants to be my friend I'll send a letter to that girl Asking her to be my own But my pen is writing wrong So I'll say it in a song Oh I love you more right now More than I've ever loved before Here's those words straight from these lips I'll need you forever more Oh I love her Keep dreaming of her Will I understand If she wants to be my friend Oh I love her Keep dreaming of her Will I understand If she wants to be my friend Come ease the pain that's in my heart Come ease the pain that's in my heart Come ease the pain that's in my heart Come ease the pain that's in my heart Late last night I had a dream And she was in it again She and I were in the sky Flying hand in hand I woke up in a cold sweat Wishing she was by my side Praying that she'll dry the tears Left on my face I've cried Oh I love her Keep dreaming of her Will I understand If she wants to be my friend Oh I love her Keep dreaming of her Will I understand If she wants to be my friend Come ease the pain that's in my heart Come ease the pain that's in my heart Come ease the pain that's in my heart Come ease the pain that's in my heart

Thats like the coolest shit ever
I wish I knew them
Ur dad has my damn respect
hell yeah, cherish that cassette its special!
@mikedavis8008 it prolly wasn't fancy sauce to the dad until he realized they're now popular
it's amazing that somebody actually filmed it even they were like nobody at that time.
ifoughtthelawnthelaw agreed. Hopefully wasn't his Mom or anything lol
toothybj Look @ the description. That wouldve been embarrassing haha
it is so cool
Are you for real? UA-cam is LITTERED with videos of absolute NOBODYS
@@trefwoordpunk2225 before smart phone , i guess ppl couldnt just casually take out a camcorder and film? and even keeping a random clip for so long til youtube exists. truly appreciate this uploader
Videos like this are the most inspiring things ever
i like this, soooo much
Love how loud Mike's bass is here!
He fucks up on the first chorus. You can see Billie smiling.
it is so goooood
The people who were there can say "I was there" :D
I really wish to be part of that crowd :(
Nothing like nostalgia for something you never experienced eh? :)
I'd do anything to be there that day
seriously who the fuck are you. I swear I see you comment on like 90% of the videos I watch. you have good taste in music though
Well, if the context of your comment is true, then whoever the fuck he may be, I'm sure you'd both make a perfect friendship
This is why we need time travel ;)
I was there
@@duckyyyaj247 , I hope this is a pun and if not, then am jealous and wish I had your life
my God, all those kids are now older than 40...
The time is a bitch :/
M. Bezak BJ and Mike are about 45 now....
jear
Some will be pushing 50 in a year or 2
still kids on the inside💚
I WISH I HAD SEEN THIS CROWD'S FACES WHEN THEY SAW THAT GREEN DAY BECAME FAMOUS AS SHIT
Life Is Good, You Should Get One Yeah, it seems like most don't know what to think. "Where did my 80s hair metal go?" They're literally witnessing a legendary band in the making and don't even know.
Life Is Good, You Should Get One RIGht
i bet these guys will be big one day
haha😂 you say?
i like it that not many people are watching them , This proves that they're not performing for the much views , they do it just for punk rock to love :)
If you want to see a punk audience, watch them play at Woodstock '94 xD
+Lukey Pooky *punk and hippie audience
TiTaH 's now its polar opposite...
Those kids don't know how lucky they are
They played at the high school they went to so all those kids were their classmates
Back then when the bass was louder than the guitar
2:50 She looks like she's really enjoying it.
She looks like fibi from Friends
Tré wasn't theeereeeeee, he wasn't theeeeeeeeereeeeeee. XD
El Sobrante was there! El Sobrante is very good drummer too.
NO, Sobrante sucked balls. Look at the end of Paper Lanterns or every end of songs.
Um, that is still the drummer from Isocracy
@@argentinianidiot nope. Dumb answer. Creativity is more important than talent.
so is it
i like how in the end everyone breaks their shit and billies all like "this is my guitar, i aint doing that shit"
This is my mom's legacy
the dry ice solo was sick!
OMG! My cousin went to that school when they performed! AWESOME!
7:08 BILLIE WHAT ARE YOU DO-- DON'T EAT THE MIC
phew
Can we get some love for John Kiffmeyer
On this Day, It's been 22 years since This performance... THEY HAVE COME A LONG WAY! that means they've been a band for about 24 years!
Now its 33, just insane.
I love how Billie says that they have a record for sale. Five bucs!
I think at 1:08 when they say I was there you can kinda hear John
I wonder how many people in the crowd were thinking "Yeah, these guys will never be famous. Not in a million years."
Penguincamp truth. Shitty crowd
I like how there's only ONE person @ 2:50 who is into it
She is so cute, maybe first Green Day fangirl ever lol
more precious than the bible
haha agree😂😂😉
what i would give to have had the pleasure of attending this show.
Is it me or do Billie and Mike look like Bill and Ted from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure?
amazing film
greenday103921guns hah yeah! Billy could totally pass for Bill S Preston, Esq.
And Mike with all that hair...sure
Theyve been qouted saying they wanted to be the wild stallions so mightve been on purpose
They look more like Bill and ted from Bill and teds bogus journey
Would love to have one of those "original" $5 records/tapes! They would be a collectors dream! Just the nostalgia too! Awesome footage1 Takes me/us back in time! :)
hmm! ive seen this performance footage many times but not this particular clip, i like how they pan to the audience.
Billie would never hurt Blue
kubunuhmu laknat sorry I speak English
all these people dont realize they are looking at one of the biggest bands ever lol
"we have 1 record for sale, five bucks"
WYLD STALLIONS!
Love it! The lyric "I was there"... not many people can claim that! Lucky you lot in that tiny audience!
and now they are playing out of thousands of people..
looking at all these old videos of Green Day is mind blowing. all these people watching them perform back then never would of thought they would make it big. and they did! and even got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! awesome band! I grew up listening to them!

lol i bet the teachers are talking like “whats green day mean?” unless they were sweet children back then
Dry Ice has the greatest guitar solo among all Green Day songs. It's literally fire 🔥
2000% its perfect
Como diria Martí Mcfly "ustedes no estan preparados para esto, pero a sus hijos les encantara"
oh my god I love these videos so much. brings back so many memories.
How the fuck does it get any better than this?
greem day is the only band where i love every single one of their songs. there isn't one i hate
Same
@@Taylor_5724 idk father of all is iffy
@@emersonschnipke4758 na those are still all catchy. Maybe not high quality, but catchy as hell.
Theguy who filmed this rocks
I love Johnny Kiffmeyer's open handed drum style. He played so smoothly.
definitely two of my favourite Green day songs.
They started like this and they are going very good!! i love them!
respect.
Yep
I rediscovered I Was There recently and I forgot how much I fucking love it. They should bring this song back in their regular sets
This is lightning in a bottle. Good shit like this comes not so often.
james kilpatrick truth! Perfect example of underground local band that made it BIG. BJs style and voice, and the way they sound make most of their music catchy af.
Green day un ejemplo de que con perseverancia se llega al éxito!!
im 15 now and i wish to be in that time period
0:23
How knows that band of three boys, now are a Fuckin Awesome Band!!!
omg the definition is amzing 4 a 1990 video thnx for uploading!
OMG Billie when he did that solo in dry ice ASDFGHJKL
if the audience only knew that they were rolling their eyes at who would become one of the biggest bands ever...
I know their class sucks! They look so bored idk why
Love how at the end Mike just casually drops his bass 😂
I want to be this mic' x)
This is amazing footage
I remember this,
John's drumming was the highlight in 89-90 Green Day records.
God I love this
Moike's singing parts 😍
This is fucking priceless footage man!
Yes! Early 90s fashion I fuckin' love it haha.
This is beautiful
Looking back upon my life and the places that I've been
Pictures, faces, girls that I've loved, I try to remember when
Faded memories on the wall, some names I have forgotten
But each one is a memory, I look back on so often
I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there
I was there
I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there
I was there
Looking back what I have done, there's lots more life to live
At times, I feel overwhelmed, I question what I can give
But I don't let it get me down or cause me too much sorrow
There's no doubt about who I am, I always have tomorrow
I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there
I was there
I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there
I was there
Looking back upon my life (on my life)
Faded memories upon the wall (on the wall)
Looking now at who I am (who am I?)
I don't let it get me down (I don't let it, get me down)
Looking back upon my life and the places that I've been
Pictures, faces, girls that I've loved, I try to remember when
But I don't let it get me down or cause me too much sorrow
There's no doubt about who I am, I always have tomorrow
I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there
I was there
I look into the past
I want to make it last
I was there
I was there

Late last night I had a dream
And she was in it again
She and I were in the sky
Flying hand in hand
I woke up in a cold sweat
Wishing she was by my side
Praying that she'll dry the tears
Left on my face I've cried
Oh I love her
Keep dreaming of her
Will I understand
If she wants to be my friend
I'll send a letter to that girl
Asking her to be my own
But my pen is writing wrong
So I'll say it in a song
Oh I love you more right now
More than I've ever loved before
Here's those words straight from these lips
I'll need you forever more
Oh I love her
Keep dreaming of her
Will I understand
If she wants to be my friend
Oh I love her
Keep dreaming of her
Will I understand
If she wants to be my friend
Come ease the pain that's in my heart
Come ease the pain that's in my heart
Come ease the pain that's in my heart
Come ease the pain that's in my heart
Late last night I had a dream
And she was in it again
She and I were in the sky
Flying hand in hand
I woke up in a cold sweat
Wishing she was by my side
Praying that she'll dry the tears
Left on my face I've cried
Oh I love her
Keep dreaming of her
Will I understand
If she wants to be my friend
Oh I love her
Keep dreaming of her
Will I understand
If she wants to be my friend
Come ease the pain that's in my heart
Come ease the pain that's in my heart
Come ease the pain that's in my heart
Come ease the pain that's in my heart
