The tech team was able to push out sound coming from the amps on the stage. At this point, without vocals, Billie Joe started strumming some songs while he sang (the crowd couldn\u2019t hear him) but he crowd knew the songs and started to sing along. #BestKaraokeEver Billie Joe lead the crowd in a few songs like Holiday, When I Come Around, and Wake Me Up When September Ends.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd loved it. I loved it. I guess how many times in your life to get to sing-along to the song with the artists playing the instruments? It was truly and intimate experience.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, they got a mic working however sound was still not pumping out of the main PA. Those near the stage definitely reaped the benefits of staying up close. I could feel the panic of the techies but I didn\u2019t see that same panic in the band. I guess at the end of it all they knew that everything was going to be alright. The full sound finally came back. Green Day began to play and they finished up on a great high.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not sure what would be a better experience: watching the concert without any flaws or watching a technical difficulty happen and see professional artists go on with the show?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had the opportunity to go to a Green Day concert last night.\u00a0 Unfortunately it was in the rain and due to the rain there were technical difficulties.\u00a0 Aside from the stress of being a former techie, well once a techie, always a techie, I ended up getting flashbacks of when I was on stage [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4678,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"video","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4,96],"tags":[399,475,400],"class_list":{"0":"post-3703","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-video","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"category-video","9":"tag-green-day","10":"tag-music","11":"tag-techie","12":"post_format-post-format-video"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Show Must Go On &#8226; Edel Alon<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Hello, we have well thought out reading topics on technology, leadership, project management, food, weddings, and tools to help your daily life.
