Even with the low sound, the American band has strengthened headliner status at the Paulistano Festival with energetic performances, party mood and complete setlist
Large festivals are able to consecrate or sink the career of a definitive artist or band. Fortunately, the Green dayThe most popular punk band in history, the first option was assigned after debuting on the stage of Rock in RioIn 2022, as the main attraction.
We are not talking about a group of beginners. Composed of Billie Joe Armstrong (voice and guitar), Mike Dirnt (bass) and Cold (Framelli), the record trio of sales is active for almost 40 years and has achieved enormous success in the 90s and 2000. Outside, he conducted major events and occupies stadiums. Here, however, in previous visits in 1998, 2010 and 2017, they played in arenas, gyms and amphitheatri. Therefore, their performance three years ago was so important: they changed their level in our country.
The show, it is said, was so good that it accredited them to return in 2025 as headliner of the only rock day The city. And this Sunday, 7, showed again because they became one of the greatest bands of the genre in which they are inserted.
Exception to the lowest sound, cutting some interactions and the less favorable structure than 2022, the presentation offered to the public of San Paolo was not so different from that three years ago. And you can’t even change a lot: there are so many shots that barely adapt to an hour and 40 minutes of repertoire. He was costing room for three ranges of Savior (2024), the most recent studio album and celebrated by many as one of the best since then American Idiot (2004). That is to say, they were “Bastard with eyes“”,Dilemma“AND”Bobby Sox“, Close to the closure, almost as much as the anticlimax as the last fact”Good Riddance (time of your life)“.
The start of the set with “American Idiot“”,Vacation“AND”Know your enemy“(With the right fan on stage in the final) it is so energetic that it gives the impression that this catharsis will not be repeated. The slowest blow”Boulevard of Broken Dreams“, the new above”Bastard with eyes“They even breed a little, but from”Longview“, moment when Billie Joe Exchange your guitar Les Paul For one Stratocaster – indicating that it will prioritize the songs of the first albums: the frenzy returns and does not round off, practically reducing only when the ballads enter as “21 pistols“AND”Wake me when separateers ends“. Entertainment from start to finish, offered by a group that is punk in essence, but has learned all its movements from classic rock.
Impossible to stop highlighting Billie Joe Armstrong. Singer, guitarist, main composer, skilled frontman and owner of a hairstyle Dilma RousseffThe 53 -year -old still seems to be in his 30. He preserved not only his voice, but also the physical disposition. At the same time, he evolved his ability to command a general public, from the multiple choirs pulled to the classic movement to cover with the Brazilian flag in “Lap“. Mike Dirnt AND Cold They form a straight kitchen, less affects the spotlight, but equally important for the show. The even more discreet trio of support musicians integrated by Jason White (guitar), Kevin Preston (guitar) e Jason Freese (keyboards and saxophone) provides the necessary bed for official members, in particular BillieThey can shine without worrying about “holes” sound.
In 2022, it was necessary to clarify that the Green day he made the best rock show of that edition of Rock in RioAt least three days of rock. Three years later, the competition is much smaller – there is only one date dedicated to the genre – but glory is the same.
