I have nothing to add to the main discussion but the sideline Green Day discussion, they were one of my most memorable/odd concert.
The giant company Salesforce has a yearly conference where they pull out all the stops including a night with a high profile band. My year they rented out AT&T Park for Green Day with Blondie opening (she was fantastic). Towards the end of Blondie’s set it started to rain and then pour just before Green Day came out, a few songs into their set the sound completely cuts out. Turns out the tent over the sound engineers broke and dumped water over the boards frying them. There’s a bit of a break as they figure out WTF happened and try and get some sound back, Billie comes out with a guitar and gets those of us in front of the stage to sing en masse while he plays. Eventually they rig up something and get some sound back and finish the set. Hugely memorable concert that was a ton of fun in the end.
