Green Day has undoubtedly given punk rock a renaissance of its own. Especially live the band convinces with a brilliant show in their more than 20 years of band history. Green Day has a lot to prove. Because the Californian trio of successes with their tight songs is so close to the sound of British punk originals like The Jam, The Clash or The Buzzcocks, the band members are considered opportunists in some critics' circles, who wanted to spoil the once rebellious music into mass-produced goods. But the band plays with unbridled energy, never misses its audience impact, presents a slim, energetic spectacle that elegantly surrounds the usual flourishes of modern stage technology by dispensing with lifting platforms, laser cannons and video screens. Here the music is in the center of attention, the rumbling singer and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong conducts precisely the and uses the whole catalogue of poses of rock history for his tireless animation work. The import record Live was recorded in 1992 and 1994 by the American radio station and contains all hits and all-time classics.
