Haters, be disappointed. Old age has been kind to Green Day. Even as its members creep toward the wizened age of 30, the band still manages to be plenty spirited, not to mention more musically adept than ever before. Friday they even seemed like genuinely nice guys, to boot - projecting, if you will, an almost fatherly aura over the crowd...
