Two hundred fifty people packed into the Tiki Bar in the Orange County city of Costa Mesa, Calif., on Aug. 11, 2011, paying $20 a head the day before to see one of the world's biggest rock bands after an eight-month hiatus. That audience - along with ones at the Webster Hall Studio in New York; 1-2-3-4 Go! Records in Oakland, Calif.; Mezzanine in San Francisco; and Red 7 in Austin - was unknowingly treated to 20 songs that would appear on Green Day's next three albums.
The trio saved favorites like "Welcome to Paradise," "St. Jimmy" and "Minority" for the encores, hitting the fans with one new track after another - "Nuclear Family," "Stay the Night," "Let Yourself Go" and "Carpe Diem" - the first four songs on its next release, "¡Uno!"
