On September 6, 1993, punk legends Green Day took the stage at Gilman Street, their last full show at the tiny Berkeley, California club at the center of the Bay Area punk scene. Around 300 people caught the incendiary set. Thirty-one years later—last Friday night—they brought that same uncompromising spirit and sound back to the Bay Area but for a slightly larger audience, more than 40,000 people packed in the sold-out Oracle Park where the SF Giants call home.
