The night marked the end of the band’s 12-date North American club tour in support of “Revolution Radio,” its 12th studio album, released on Oct. 7. After opening with the rousing single “Know Your Enemy” from 2008’s “21st Century Breakdown,” the band (which tours as a sextet) played “Bang Bang” and the title track from its new album. The rockers also gave a few nods to classics, including a few lines of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s “Have You Ever Seen the Rain?” as well as performing “Satisfaction” and the Beatles’ “Hey Jude,” possibly a homage to the recent two-weekend Desert Trip festival in Indio (Riverside County) featuring the Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney. Gen X and Boomer fans who grew up with Green Day during the first Bush administration eagerly sang along with lead vocalist and guitarist Armstrong’s call-and-responses. What sounded at first like it might be a version of “Don’t Think Twice, It’s Alright” in honor of 2016 Nobel Prize winner Bob Dylan was actually an acoustic version of “Ordinary Day,” which ends “Revolution Radio.”
