Green Day, Oakland Coliseum, 5 August 2017
Let me start off this show review saying from the early to late-90s I would have considered myself a Green Day fan. From the first time I heard the album Kerplunk around 1992 I knew these Bay Area guys were something special. Now, let’s fast forward to the present. I hadn’t seen Green Day in…
