Bay Area rockers Green Day played a special pop-up show at House of Blues in Anaheim on Tuesday, March 19 in front of roughly 2,200 die-hard fans.
The band announced the intimate gig on Monday, March 18 and it sold out in minutes. Loyal followers lined up early at the venue, some even camping out since the early morning hours, to secure an up-close spot on the general admission floor.
“This is a historic night,” vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong told the fans, who packed into the venue to party with the band on a Tuesday night. “Thank you, thank you guys so much.”
Going back three decades, the guys, who sounded like they were in peak form throughout the night, roared through songs off of “Dookie,” including “Burnout,” “Chump” and “She,” as well as drummer Tré Cool coming out to sing “All By Myself” to kick off the encore.
Recently Billie Joe Armstrong took a break from Green Day duties to perform in his cover band the Coverups at The Garage. He was joined on stage by Courtney Love for a couple songs.

Love joined them for Cheap Trick’s “He’s A Whore” and “Surrender,” as well as Tom Petty’s “Even The Losers.” Love greeted the audience by saying, “Thank you, Billie Joe. My name is Courtney Love — you may not remember me. I’ve been living in a cave in Birmingham for about nine years. We’ll give this a fucking try, right?”
