Green Day played 'Dookie' and 'American Idiot' at New York's Citi Field on a bill they shared with Smashing Pumpkins, Rancid, and the Linda Lindas.
days of the Nineties’ alt-rock revolution, just before major record labels turned forever away from left-of-center acts and toward more mainstream fare that forever made the world a duller place,were two of the hottest young rock bands on the planet.
As the sun started to fade and the temperature finally dropped, Smashing Pumpkins took the stage.

There were many years since that time where Corgan would have scoffed at the idea of playing a greatest hits set at a stadium before Green Day, but the man has softened considerably with age and late-in-life parenthood.
The Smashing Pumpkins may once again be an arena act, but a majority of the crowd at Citi Field clearly came to see Green Day. After the traditional warmup music of “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Blitzkrieg Bop,” they kicked off with “The American Dream is Killing Me” from their new LP. But there wasn’t much time to linger in the present when the agenda called for two classic albums to be played in full.came first.
Green Day and Smashing Pumpkins are going to spend the next six weeks getting their 1994 on at stadiums all across America. Before they wrap, Weezer will launch their.
