Part 1
"Playing American Idiot 1st is insane. We started off a lot of our concerts back then with that song, and its like jumping on a train going 100mph. It takes off.
If you look closely, before the shout section in the middle of the song, the band was off from one another. I have a major hesitation before I go into the shout chorus, and I remember seriously thinking of skipping the whole thing. Looking back, if we would have shyed away from the crowd at that time, I don't think they would have followed us for the rest of the concert the way they did. "
