Green Day Delivers Fresh-Faced Performance of Decades-Old Albums at SoFi Stadium: Concert Review
Green Day gave fresh-faced performances of their decade-old albums at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium.
The group, which brought its Saviors Tour to Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium last night, mapped the fervor of its youth — pyrotechnics, stage jumps, unwavering energy — to a venue as maximalist as they come, from the five tiers of sold-out seats to the $125 passes just to park in the adjacent lot. The spirit of what propelled Green Day beyond the grunge-rock that dominated the early ’90s permeated through the performance, from the calls for singalong to Armstrong’s mascara-penciled shifting eyes between verses, as if to punctuate the wild currents of the tracks themselves. Each record carries a pop-rock sensibility that’s specific to Green Day — even the sappiness of “Wake Me Up When September Ends” and “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” felt relative to the quick-strummed chords of their brattier hits.
