Green Day was forced to stop their show in St. Louis, Missouri short on Thursday (August 15) when a "big lightning storm" rolled in, but they were adamant on treating fans to the set closer, "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)" so Billie Joe Armstrong played an ultra sped up version of the normally acoustic track while donning his electric guitar.
“Ok you guys, that’s it,” Armstrong declared before jumping into the unique version of the song. “We gotta get you out of here, because there’s a big lightning storm that’s coming right now. Thank you so much!” While he was singing, he urged fans to "keep walking!" between verses.
Green Day kicked off their Saviors Tour at the end of July and have been playing Dookie and American Idiot in their entireties each night. See fan-shot footage of the unexpected performance and check out remaining North American tour dates below.
