Woodstock '94, Winston Farm, Saugerties, NY, 8-12-1994 to 8-14-1994 - Day 3, Part 5: Green Day

The fifth album from Day Three of the Woodstock ‘94 Festival was a set by the band Green Day. 

An important thing to keep in mind is that Green Day Was only moderately popular at the time of this concert. They would become much more popular later. So I presume that’s why they had spot relatively early in the day.

I am still on vacation and it’s hard for me to type much on my cell phone. So I am going to paste in a big chunk of text from Wikipedia to explain more more about what happened during this set:

[The festival’s problems with mud] culminated with Green Day's performance, during which guitarist and lead vocalist Billie Joe Armstrong started a mudfight with the crowd during their song "Paper Lanterns". In the documentary VH1 Behind the Music: Green Day, bassist Mike Dirnt was mistaken for one of the fans jumping on stage and was spear-tackled by a security guard, knocking out one of his teeth. It was this incident that caused Dirnt to need emergency orthodontia. A gag order was put in place regarding this incident. Due to the now-infamous mudfight and Dirnt's injury, Woodstock quickly propelled Green Day's then recently released album Dookie into success.”

On a different note, I believe this set is the only one from the festival that has been officially released in fall. It was later added to a deluxe version of the “Dookie” album. I am including it here in order to present as much of the festivals as possible.

This album is 37 minutes long.
