Green Day - At the Library (Birmingham LG Arena, 27th Oct 2009)

[98plee]

I was here ;)

[TheStaticCityTV]

I like how Billie looked back at Tre to see if he recognized the song!

[Tommy7448]

I bet you that half the audience was like "Woah! New Song!" 

[Nemogirl110]

I love how they are playing the very first song on the album 1039 smoothed out slappy hours that is so fuckin amazing!!!!! i wish more people knew it :S

[shelloz09]

fucking sad. NOBODY there knows this song. If I was lucky enough to even BE there, I would get up on the fucking stage and go crazy.

[LongLiveWho]

its so cool how many genres Green Day can fucking rock in

[TheStaticCityTV]

This Song IS so True I Remember The First Time I Heard It It Was About 2 Years Ago

[brennaldo101]

What a disappointing crowd, if they did this song in Dublin I'd just go freaking crazy with joy!

[ChipotleEveryDay]

#1 Green Day song ever....

[Aretureuh]

@ChipotleEveryDay No, the first song ever is why do you want him

This one just open the album

[Sgtcheese188]

You know whats strange..what was billie doing in a libary anyway???

[SuperKeith360]

Why does 2:20 through 2:30 sound like the story of my life???

[thedork27]

ah dude!!! fuucckkk! amazing ass shit!!!>.<

I WISH I COULD OF BEEN AT THIS CONCERT!:*(

i love you green day!!:D OLD GREEN DAY ALL THE WAY BITCHES!!!!:D

[24hoursayear]

I bet some guys in the audience are like: "Woah dude, new song!"

[theRBninja]

@24hoursayear agreed, even though it was one of their first songs... :D

[qarlitoos]

@24hoursayear hahahahahaha yeah xd 

[leobass11]

muito bem filmado esse video...parabens..essa musica tbm eh fodahhhhhhhhh........

[pleasantnightmare21]

I'm 18 and no one gives a fuck.

having said that this is my favorite green day record

[Mr5amy]

at the libary in 720p ! ach... dreams come true...

[doublekcrazy]

I'm just confused why HE was in a library X)

[guitarbassguru]

@doublekcrazy he saw a hot girl there. true story.

[MrQwertyuiop2112]

@guitarbassguru no one knows for sure what she looks like but it is said she was ugly "what is it about u I enjoy"

[Brigister]

@doublekcrazy probably to take a book. idk that's mainly the reason why you go to the library, ya know.

[RankielGuitar]

when I saw them @ Montreal, I had sick fun to sing their old songs they played in the crowd while everybody else was like: what the hell is he doing hahahahaha! lol.

[VFloresTalent]

i wud of fone up there and sang the song with Billie XD and the filp off the crappy crowd 

[KetchupKidable]

Im 16 and I know all the words to this and most pre-am material, i only got into Greenday when am came out but it doesnt mean i dont know ALL there stuff

[KaylebTheKrumpett82]

Fuck the dumb-ass thirteen year old girls in this crowd that don't know this song. I hate people.

[livcowell]

@KaylebTheKrumpett82 i'm 14 and i know all the words, and i know most of the words to all their songs before american idiot and 21 century breakdown. just because someone is younger than you doesn't mean they don't know the words to a bands old songs.

[KaylebTheKrumpett82]

@livcowell I'm not saying that just because you're of a younger generation, means that you're not going to KNOW their older material. I'm just saying it pisses me off that most people OF that age don't know that they existed before 2003. It pisses me off that Punk Rock is dying and that Green Day has started to drift from those bad-ass Punk Rock roots.

[forgetownnnnn]

fuck the crowd

[sveketatu]

pure and raw reality, I spend the same with a girl I liked her, did not know he had a girlfriend because I saw him one day spent in front of me and when qise desperate to see her again because classes ended I knew I was gone one day hopefully we meet , someday You're leaving so soon? ..

[KeysToTheCanteen01]

I would have been 14 at the time, I went to the concert day after ... I Know this song!!!

[happyshell07]

moments like this are when you realize how many TRUE Green Day fans are!

[RainbowSnow101]

Woah this was like their first ever song! That shows how amazing Green Day are! <3

[itzelGD]

@RainbowSnow101

Actually

"why do you want him?"

he wrote that song to her mother (:

[RainbowSnow101]

@itzelGD Well it's the first song first album then. You get the point :)

[itzelGD]

@RainbowSnow101

yea i meant his* i barely  notice :P

[TheDewHunter]

@RainbowSnow101 well technically "Why Do You Want Him?" was the first song they wrote, but yeah i know what you mean. just for them to be this big and briefly go back to those humble beginnings is just something that's really cool to see:)

[KetchupKidable]

@TheDewHunter it is the first song on the first album so thats probably why he said that

[lazrpo]

Wow, there's literally nobody singing along with this... NOBODY. This is both hilarious and sad.

[RainbowSnow101]

@lazrpo It's not a common known song of theirs. Dookie is what made them famous and what made them what they've become today, so not many people will have 39/Smooth and Kerplunk! as much as Dookie and the rest of them :)

[lazrpo]

@RainbowSnow101 It's the opening song to 1039/SOSH. With torrenting and music downloads available and openly used by this generation, combined with the reissue of 1039/SOSH after American Idiot was released, I'd at least hope to hear a murmur of interest from the crowd.

What'd we get? The guy behind the camera singing it. The Today Show crowd reacted better :(

I do get your point though, if it's not Dookie, American Idiot, Good Riddance or 20 Century Breakdown material, the crowd's pretty lax.

[RainbowSnow101]

@lazrpo Yeah, I see what you mean. If they were real die hard Green Day fans they would know the words. It's really annoying when people say they're Green Day's biggest fan ever and they don't even know half the songs! I understand people won't know them as much as there others because some of the fans out there weren't born in 1990 or whenever. I love it when they do concerts and Billie gets them to sing along to an old song and the vast majority of them do and gets a huge smile on his face!

[aPandorasboxofmusic]

@lazrpo I know I would sing my lungs out if I were there.

[RadeonZero]

@lazrpo Okay then, mind explaining in the side-channel of the audio what all the extra harmonics are? Wait, before you can answer I have one. Screams of happiness/enjoyment from fans and people SINGING ALONG. Lol. Problem solved.

[Brigister]

@lazrpo Holy shit if I were there I would have freaked out just as soon as I would hear the intro... and then I would sing along so loud that my head would explode xD

[MrPrimussucks123]

I wixh i was there...

[Flip22023]

What song is he about to play next?

[danster606]

@Flip22023 Because the red lights came on it looks like when I come around.

[21keepITreal21]

don't have the courage to come up to you my chance is looking a bit grey... :'(

[Whenicomaroundiscool]

I love 39/Smoothed out slappy hours!

[MrBeatlesDrummer]

I was 12 when I went to this gig, and I was propably the loudest singer for this song

[Als5678Ors]

en mi opinión Billie Joe ahora canta esto mejor que en los '90 =)

[MrGibsonJunior]

Awesome, simple, to-the-point lyrics! Love Smoothed out slappy hours!

[DisgaeaDelinquint]

It is extremely rare to see the songs off they're first album being played modernly. I'm glad I found this video.

[SaintxOfxSuburbia]

@DisgaeaDelinquint It's not really rare at all. I'm almost positive every single venue they played in the 21st Century Breakdown tour consisted of 2 pre-Dookie songs.

[BaseballXaverian2010]

@SaintxOfxSuburbia no more lol if u ever come across a video by ssXGeneralXss or something like that he gives the whole setlist for each show

[DylanLWG]

You aren't a real fan if you don't like their new stuff. It's all great music

[guitarmaniak666]

i hate people who think just coz ur young u dont know old Green Day, ur right some don't but im 17 and i have EVERY Green Day Abum on CD, and its not about "oh these kids dont know old Green Day" its about enjoying an amazing band, old or new, it doesn't matter, Green Day are amazing (FULL STOP) .

[breannajoearmstrong]

2 people have no life and should be punched. how could they dislike this? >.<

[mentalfeed70]

lol you can hear the older people yelling while the retard kids are like wtf?

[AndOH9917]

"HOW MANY OLD SCHOOL GREEN DAY FANS ARE OUT HERE!?"

"NONE OF US ARE, WE'LL JUST CHEER CUZ WERE DUMB 12 YEAR OLD POSERS!"

they need to play this, paper lanterns, 1000 hours, and going to palasquala ALOT more

[TheExpertsInc]

@AndOH9917 amen!

[cenation2810]

This is awesome! It really shows how much they've grown as a band over the past 24 years that they've been around.

[witnesstowonders]

I saw Green Day at Lollapalooza 2010, and was so bummed that they didn't play anything from '1,039/Smooth' and the old EPs... :(

[DNEsBandPage]

Like a girl would walk away with her bf now if they saw Billie at the library lol

[InfectedSanityMusic]

Ok guys, people are proving very valid points. Why don't they turn 39 Smooth and Kerplunk! songs into videos? They are some of the best songs and they deserve recognition. If your with me and want some videos from those first great albums thumbs this up and share it on all green day vids! :)

[chrisjericho360]

@sethgamin, well im not a bitch, im a boy, and im 12 but i know this :D

[Ty13rlikespie]

can someone tell me at least how many songs they play a concert? and fucking love this song can play it on guitar haha suks that ppl dnt kno it haha...but really at least how many songs a concert

[sharonlynnemitchell]

I was there on the barrier - and loving every minute of the old stuff.

[Sparks217]

I remember being in the pit of a Green Day concert, in Chula Vista, CA. Whenever Billie played a Smoothed out slappy song, everyone stopped moving, i was the only one jumping hard, only one singing the lyrics and another guy next to me but thats about it, and everyone around me was pissed as fuck for jumping around like a maniac...I fucking love it!!!!!

[sethgamin]

@icenroses Right you are. You are one in a million 15 year old girls who like Green Day.

[xkilagramx]

@sethgamin

LOL im 16 year old dude and like Green Day is there a problem? and i guess i get what your saying that a bunch of honry teenage girls only like GD cause of Billie Joe

[mranarchy03]

most of the fans in the crowd were probably like "oh is this a new song?!?!?!"

[MrWhat777]

@mranarchy03 lol

you're probably right.

[MangaAddict13]

@mranarchy03 sadly...... probably >.>

[thatssoBIG]

I fucking love this so much.

[musicianforlife0693]

Love this song and loved this gig, absolutely fucking epic! I was the guitarist that got on stage and played knowledge with them, amazing night :D

[sethgamin]

I FUCKING LOVE how the dumb 15 year old bitches in the audience don't know this song... all you hear is Billy Joe sing some smoothed out slappy music!! Fucking love this shit!

[MasterMarf]

@sethgamin

hahaha! :D

[GDookie16]

@sethgamin BILLIE JOE.

[thepoppi999]

@sethgamin I know... I'm less than 15 (not a bitch) and I totally loved this song waaay before I saw this video...

Too bad I wasn't even close to be borned...

[ConFezsi0N]

@sethgamin HECK YEAH!! well im 15 HAHA but yet I LOVE 1,039 Smoothed Out Slappy Hours!!!

[yllefrobloggse]

@sethgamin

I'm 15, I got a Green Day Tattoo with the Kerplunk font. I've been listening to them for 7 years and I'm always listening to the old Green Day... Don't judge all of them, I know there are noobs tring to say they love green day when the only album they've been listening to is like American Idiot..

What I'm trying to say is, there are 15 year olds who loves Green Day as much as you do..

And yeah man, I fucking love this too! <3

[Valuuuw]

@sethgamin I fucking love how do you think you are a "super fan" and wrote "BillY" Joe. IT'S BILLIE

[bddb9]

@Valuuuw if they had the capacity to make a word as rediculous as superfan than i'm sure spelling wasn't much of a concern to them

[privatealeks]

@sethgamin He's name is actually Billie Joe not Billy Joe :P

[sethgamin]

@sethgamin Okay, to all the people who keep responding to this comment, I didn't make any mention that "all" 15 year old fans of Green Day don't know old Green Day. I'm not concerned about how to spell Billie Joe's name, to me, it was all about the music. I was in 1st and 2nd grade when this stuff came out and it has helped define me as a person. I'm not a fanboy who has every poster and watched every interview, I just love the music. It's all about the music, you 15-year-old bitches!

[FlaminsnowxD]

@sethgamin dude... im a 14 yr old girl and know every word from this song, and most from earlier albums. (1039/smoothed out slappy hours, kerplunk, dookie, insomniac, nimrod) so yeah. stereotypes are soo cool!

[SuperMegabar]

@FlaminsnowxD He didn't say all 15 year old girls... If you read he put DUMB 15 year old BITCHES... Now you would have just been a 14 year old girl if you hadn't have made that retarded comment...

[FlaminsnowxD]

@SuperMegabar I can accept that :P most people mean ALL. It wasn't very clear in this particular comment, so pardon my misunderstanding.

[SuperMegabar]

@FlaminsnowxD Ah fair enough :P Sorry for being a bit of a arse on that comment i think i was abit pissed off on that day :P

[MrLund96]

@sethgamin I'm 15 years old... I know it.. just letting you know... oh well, I'm not a bitch, so no wonder ..

[jyoon2000]

@sethgamin Probably thought it was from their new album until Joel said "how many old school Green Day fans are out there."

[whatsername1313]

@sethgamin

says the one that spells BILLIE wrong. i mean i agree with you, but 'cmon.

[Flip22023]

@sethgamin Your post would've been great if you'd spell Billie's name right.

[Brigister]

@sethgamin well i'm 15 and i know this song by heart, 1039 SOSH is my favorite album ever

[traindude95]

@Brigister the dumb ones bro, not you

[CastilloSasuke]

@sethgamin im 12 and i know the full song by heart

[mdog123451]

@sethgamin Im 15 and this is one of my favorites by Green Day. :D

[sealwish]

LOVE THIS SONG! :D

[JoeladoreMCR]

@Greenday48078 The awesome music you hear is owning the crowd

[JoeladoreMCR]

@Greenday48078 Oops, wat = what. So my thing again: That's what they call guards ;)

[JoeladoreMCR]

@Greenday48078 That's wat they call guards.

[MrJoshsupra]

RERECORD THIS SONG PLEEEEZZZ

[MasterMarf]

@MrJoshsupra

why rerecord? just buy 1000 hours or 39smoothed or slappy or 1039 smoothed out slappy hours :D

[MrJoshsupra]

@MasterMarf I mean to give a modern green day twist to it you know? :D it would sound very different with this more mature voice now

[TheJial1796]

This song sounds amazing with his mature voice!!!

[elsolnocalienta95]

my favorite song! i hope to see this guys anytime soon, and play this song :(

[spammanism]

its nice to see them playing their older songs

[stoneyafcb1]

I wish they played this at the concerts I've em. My favourite and absolute ledge of a song!

[DoodRanchGD]

This is really good quality....where did u get it from?????

Or were u there at the concert?

[ThePasalacquaGirl]

oh man this is great.

[maati2011]

1990 - 1,039 smoothed out slappy hours

01-At the library

[pjb453]

hardly anyone there knows what the hell this is

[woodhall1993]

@pjb453 Trust me only like 3% of the people there knew this song, i was stood around people that didnt have a fucking clue, i knew every lyric and it was AMAZING!

[christian1o812]

@pjb453 FANS wud no not just once ina while listeners

[Gunsgreen]

Green Day Your Father!!!!

[tadejame]

I like when they play oldies like this....I also like the fact that Billie didn't play the guitar solo because he probably forgot it > )

[jenzxrawr]

I was there, I was the only one singing this in my block LMFAO :'D

AMAZING NIGHT <3

[oliboydk]

am i the only one who heard someone scream "WHAT TIIIIMAAAAAURW" at 1:15 ? xD

[859able]

@oliboydk yes i think so.

[whatsernamebj20]

Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[iLaay31]

This song is still amazing.

God, it will always be amazing!

[greend4y08]

i'm almost sure that the 90% of the people who were there didnt know what the fuck was going on during this song u.u

[tyson346]

what does billie say at the end?

[MrTyler919]

@tyson346 He says "How many old school Green Day fans are out there" because he still cares about his audience because he is that awesome! :D

[ZapfSzmata]

@Granty2k8

I still love it too :P

[ZapfSzmata]

Too bad they sold out....

[kobe4270]

i love green day. best band alive. but there first drummer sucked

[GreendayfanBJF]

I love it! I love it! <3

[druii2]

omg hair..

and im a guy!

[whattafuckisthis]

@druii2 you're gay

[dizzyisme]

staring across the room, are you leaving soon, i just need a little time!

[Blink182DudeRanch]

i didnt go to this show as im not keen on green days later stuff and didnt even consider them playing songs of 1039 slappy 9favourite album) and then they played about 5 bloody songs off it. arrghhh

[jamesbcfc]

I was at this show. This song came on and i was like OH MY GOD! I was going absolutely mental when everyone around me was just standing there. Then all the Fans who knew this album seemed to find each other and scream it to each other. Im suprised you cant hear my "I just need a little time... WWWWAAAOOOOO!"

[googpower]

@jamesbcfc Ya haha I was there with my girlfriend and when I started screaming the lyrics she was like Umm Jack, this isn't even a green day song. Ahahaha

[Crazyrocksteady]

ahh shit sorry to make the dislike 3

damn they should seperate like and dislike so nobody hits it accidently

iam gonna like to make it up :)

[xGREENxDAYY]

they should play this song at every show

[greendayrocksmuch]

I Watch this and their performance in Pinole Valley High School :D!

[MrJokerta]

Billie's still got it

[cripledcammel]

the majority of any green day concert is old school stuff

[SGKlD]

@cripledcammel These days it is anyway.

Back in 04/05 it was mostly american idiot and the occasionaly song off superhits.

[trinity5227]

great song. too bad they look like faggots

[RBshanks420]

@trinity5227 What?......I don't see justin beiber up their?

[Docas633]

@trinity5227 faggot is your dad in pantyhose

[NarutoUzumaki220]

Did 2 people die and accidently click the dislike button when they saw greenday playing their old stuff?

[masterofjustice88]

AWESOME!

[lukas28ytb]

@AlexasChannel yeah or strangeland^^

[nelsonspainting]

ghost at 2:14

[ConFezsi0N]

@nelsonspainting lol nah 80

[ConFezsi0N]

Who thinks Green Day should make this song as a music video? i know i do!!

[cokezzzftw]

@ConFezsi0N That and She.. Definitely She...

[ConFezsi0N]

@cokezzzftw F**k yeah!!!! 

[GDookie16]

the crowd is so cold !! :S

[marthy995]

Great the they play are really old song. It makes me even more interested in their old stuff. Wich that their played more old stuff in Globen Sweden 2009

[GREENholiDAY1]

WTF when they came to auckland the literally didnt play any songs before Dookie!! FML

[OhhCathy]

looooooool he changed his hair <3

[LuchoR0ckZ]

When they play live old stuff like that you see where true green day fans are at

[NarutoUzumaki220]

Omg i miss old greenday soo much, they need to play this stuff more often, like the song Dry ice

[emphaticleech]

First album stuff?! Yay! I mean.. I like the new stuff, but it's refreshing to see that they still want to play the older stuff, despite people in the audience most likely not knowing what they're listening to.

[Qriztofer]

This is so fucking cool. I love that they still play one or two songs from this period at their concerts. The audience clearly, for the most part, has no idea what they're listening to.

[emphaticleech]

@Qriztofer Only thing that would make it better is if he 'shredded' the solo like he used to live. :)

[yamomagon]

this was an amazing night!!!! was on the right hand side almost at the front and it was jussst epic!!!!

[Shenanigans07]

A room of sweaty Brummies and Green Day.....aww... why does that seem like paradise?

[dannycthomas]

I LOVE their first album, probably my favorite by them :D
