Yes, as lame as Green Day is I went with my uncle. It was free and I don't think we even got anywhere near the stage cause there was so many people there. The mistake was showing a commercial for it during the VMA's the night before. Every ass clown including me was gonna show up cause it was free.

I got right up to the front after the real from ran onstage by saying "excuse me, pardon me" and people thinking I was something important. When we got to the front, the police had the riot squad set up in no time with shields. My friend got hit in the backpack with a 40. Saw some guy get beaten into the crowd and then dragged away lifeless by the cops. Then they had motorcycles drive fast across the front row to push people back about 10 feet from the cops with riots gear and shields up. They yelled something and charged with their shields into the crowd. At that point. I had my friend and the kids I was baby sitting in a train behind me. I putted them along in front of the cops and hopped a fence to end up on storrow and walked all the way to the science center.I'm glad we hopped the fence cause the cops where trying to box everyone into a court across storrow which we slipped out of.
I like hearing the story about how Green Day opened up for Grief at Club Babyhead before they got big. The guy who put on the show must have thought it was a great idea.
