In our 2017 Music Issue, Tampa DIY scene forefather Edwin Velez described the days when Green Day would play shit venues in Tampa Heights (although there is debate about whether the venue was called Paint Factory or Skyscrapers — it was Skyliners).

The NorCal punk band’s Tuesday night set in Tampa was a reminder that it has come a long, long way from being punk at 101. W. 7th Ave. (near Tampa’s Water Works park).

Before the show, Billie Joe Armstrong & co. played a Facebook Live set as a companion to their $100,000 donation to Americares, which is assisting in Hurricane Harvey relief efforts (reminder: Florida’s got a new set of hurricane problems to worry about). The effort has raised nearly $150,000.

Chris Rodriguez was there, and has these photos to share. Have a look below. See the video of Green Day rocking out to help Harvey victims above. Donate to the cause here.
