I'm actually heartbroken. I was so excited to hear you guys and I won't be able to afford another concert for a long time. Thank you for rocking while you could though!
I can't wait for the SF show! It'll be my 3rd time for Green Day & my 2nd time for Rancid. Saw you guys in Oakland in 2009. Got pushed all the way up front against the railing. It was great! A few months later, I met your dad when I was working at petco in El Cerrito.
Remember seeing Rancid in Denver on the Warped Tour years ago, you guys and Green Day played through a decent storm. I remember being in the pit in the pouring rain and hearing you guys tearing up “Radio” I’ll never forget it! Thanks for the behind the scenes, love it!
Love the updates Matt! Literally my three favourite bands on this tour. So epic. It would be cool if you could catch up with the other bands… and maybe chat about where you guys cross over musically? Green Day and Rancid obviously have a shared history, so lots to dig into, but maybe speaking to the guys from SP too? Jimmy Chamberlain and James have such incredible musical knowledge and I’d LOVE to know their favourite Rancid tracks. Rock on man! Fan since ‘94.
"Yo, that shit was the best seven minutes of the day tho dawg, sheet." Hell yea! Rancid 4 EVER! Thanks for the vids Matt. We're gonna represent when you come to LA.
I remember seeing Tilt, Rancid, and Green Day at Berkeley Square circa '93. Still one of my all-time favorite shows. Fast forward to '24 and 2/3 of that lineup are playing stadiums together. Amazing to say the least. That's too bad the set was cut short. A D.C. summer is like that. I enjoy seeing these behind the scene's videos. Please keep them coming. Here's to hoping that the weather cooperates for the rest of the tour 🍻
Thanks Matt, hope to see more. We all love seeing behind the scenes, loved your rig rundown. Maybe you could spotlight Tim and Lars. Id love too hear why Tim switched to Mesa, and why Lars sticks with the JCM 900, and what else their both running in their rigs. I think that would be fun for your fans.
That reminds me of sth you maybe might recall. In 2012 you were supposed to play a show in Milano (Italy), along with The Specials, PIL and others. My friend and I took a flight from Vienna (Austria) just to see you guys. But at one point there was heavy rainfall, and although it lasted just about 15min (and the festival ground was concrete), all the remaining shows, including yours, were cancelled. That of course led to riots in the surrounding bc the italian audience wasn't so happy with the decision. Anyway, regards from Vienna and have a fun tour!
This candid behind the scenes stuff is pretty cool...surprised lars and/or Tim don't try to infiltrate the bass bunker...LoL the next bunker....we need to see tour pranks...like give Mike (green day) a lefty bass, or maybe a string-less bass, during their set.
Thanks Matt! Great video. I was at the DC show up there in the pit and was super bummed you all had to stop after 2 songs. As good as the other bands were, these were definitely the best 2 songs of the night! Come back to DC to play a full set? 😁
Great video once again. We appreciate the behind the scenes stuff. Have you seen any of Leland Sklar’s tour videos lately? He did a short video walkthrough of each venue. That’d be really cool to see of the dates you guys are playing! Just a thought
Would love to see some more sound check videos! I know lots of bands sound check with songs they won't necessarily play in the set so it would be cool to see what Rancid might sound check with that doesn't get played on tour.
It's funny how Nick Cave has these masterpiece songs that only get two comments on RUclips, but Rancid don't even get to play a full set and they get 115 more or less compliments. That's gotta feel good..
Sir thank you for posting this. Question when on tour how do you eat meal prep, exercise if you do when do you fit it in? I worked in Indycar for 4 seasons and our days were planned out from 0500 until on track activities were done plus 90 minutes for putting away pit equipment etc. do you gentleman have a daily plan you have to abide by or can you explore the city and what it has to offer? Thank you sir. From a U.S. Navy Veteran
Dropped a bunch of money for the show, was really there for you guys. Everyone did sound good, but don't understand why the other bands couldn't give up afew songs so you guys could play. Super bummed to only get 2 songs, especially since you guys sounded like it was still 1995. You haven't missed a beat. Please tell me you are gonna come through DC on a proper club show soon.
They would have had to cut too much time of the Pumpkins set if Rancid went on again, since they’d have to keep their stuff on stage and then do the set change.
If you guys like these videos make sure to check out my live premiere tonight of "Breaking in to Mr. Freeman's Bunker". Don't worry Matt, I'll be gentle.
Why a stadium when only maybe a fifth of the ground level is used? Do you end up with that many more sold tickets or this just an ego thing from the Green Day camp?
The more of these videos I watch the more I'm convinced that Matt is one of the nicest dudes in punk rock.
GG Allen was a pretty chill dude when he wasnt taking laxatives and throwing the end product at fans.
Facts.
Thank you
Crazy to think 35 years later you guys are touring stadiums together #takewarning
I'm actually heartbroken. I was so excited to hear you guys and I won't be able to afford another concert for a long time. Thank you for rocking while you could though!
Love the behind the scenes stuff Matt!
This is great, would love to see more behind the scenes on tour!
I was so sad about Rancid. I have never seen you live and was really hoping for this for months. Please please please come back to the area soon!
would love to see more backstage content and more stuff with you bass tech! that might be one of the coolest jobs out there!
I can't wait for the SF show! It'll be my 3rd time for Green Day & my 2nd time for Rancid. Saw you guys in Oakland in 2009. Got pushed all the way up front against the railing. It was great! A few months later, I met your dad when I was working at petco in El Cerrito.

Thanks for the behind the scenes, love it!
thanks for the updates, Matt
This was great. Thanks for sharing.
Awsome video! Keep em coming!
Awesome man, keep the videos coming. I love the behind the scenes stuff.
I was there! Glad I could at least hear Maxwell Murder and made my girlfriend specifically pay attention to the magic that is your bass solo!
Love this Matt, so awesome to see behind the stage, and what kind of work goes into before you go on stage. 🤘🏻
Hell yeah! More of these tour vlogs for sure!
More backstage stuff from throughout the tour would be awesome 👌
Thanks Matt for doing these…👍🏻💪🏻🤘🏻Look forward to seeing you guys Friday at Citizens Bank Park (Philly)
Thanks Matt!
Thanks so much for this!
What do we want more of? This. Exactly what you're doing. Thanks man!

Ya godda be nice, days change. We all still rock and roll!!!!
Hey Mr. Freeman, thank youuuuu so much for this. Please, more backstage vids, footage. So great to see the band still kicking it.
This is so awesome, more backstage stuff from the tour Matt!
Thanks for taking the time to give us these videos!
Woow, I've just found your channel and is amazing man. Thank for share this content, is gold. Greetings from México, I hope to see you soon!!!
Can confirm. Matt Freeman IS the nicest guy in Punk Rock 😎🤘🏻
I appreciate that you included Longview, the bassiest of Greenday songs.
Im going to see you guys for the first time in august.
This is pure gold! Please just keep this going.
Hit me by lightning while hearing Matt shred, Lars scream, and Tim taking us lyrically! I found heaven
Imagine, Rancid being the opener!
I'm still heart broken that I only got to see yall play 2 songs...I'm trying to make it to the Charlotte show...love yall!!!
Thank you for the valuable footage !!
This tour with two great bands, RANCID and Green Day, is an incredible event✨
Please complete it safely🎸🎶
"Yo, that shit was the best seven minutes of the day tho dawg, sheet." Hell yea! Rancid 4 EVER! Thanks for the vids Matt. We're gonna represent when you come to LA.
Besides Matt being a cool dude, Warren is just as nice!❤
Can't wait to see y'all in Toronto tomorrow!
I saw Alkaline Trio with Blue Meanies in my buddies garage back in 96, killer show.
Aside form being a great bass player, I feel like you are quite a great guy, mister! Glad I'm your fan! ❤

Tilt instead of SP would have been amazing. I think I was at that show at Berkeley Square!
Love it. Keep us updated throughout the tour Matt! Take care.
Just what I needed, thanks homie
This happened at the Bash in NJ a few years back
Enjoying the tour footage!
❤ TY
Thanks for posting even though you got rained out. Behind the scenes vids like this from every show would be epic!
Thanks Matt, hope to see more. We all love seeing behind the scenes, loved your rig rundown. Maybe you could spotlight Tim and Lars. Id love too hear why Tim switched to Mesa, and why Lars sticks with the JCM 900, and what else their both running in their rigs. I think that would be fun for your fans.
Its always sunny in Detroit! Can't wait!
Love the roadies!
Warren fears no storm!
Best 7 minutes of the day! I suggest some footage pranking people on the tour!
I like when Matt signs. More Rancid songs need vocals de Matt
thanks Matt! hope to see more videos like this on tour!
Thanks Matt! More of this would be great!
Any chance you guys could do a full band rig rundown? Would love that!
Thanks! I can’t wait until you’re in Toronto!
“Sidekick”!! 🎶
Met you guys after the show in Thunder Bay, ON in ‘95
Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the video, can’t wait to see you guys + Green Day in Denver!!
More tour footage!!!
Thanks for sharing this Matt. Cool to see.
We'll be seeing you in Denver!

Thanks Matt .
Nice backstage footage Matt. Can't wait to see you guys at SOFI Stadium.
HELL YA !!! Tour vids !!!
Awesome video! More backstage and gig stuff please! 🤘
Hope the rest goes better! Can't wait to see y'all back here in Cali
This candid behind the scenes stuff is pretty cool...surprised lars and/or Tim don't try to infiltrate the bass bunker...LoL the next bunker....we need to see tour pranks...like give Mike (green day) a lefty bass, or maybe a string-less bass, during their set.
Would love to hear a coupla hits from Rancid 2000 in Philly next week 👀👀
See you guys tomorrow!
See you guys in Toronto. Ill be in the high up seats but we will all make sure you can hear us from the back!!
MetallicA had similar situation in Denver so they kept playing and they did Ride The Lightning blended well with the storm! ⛈️
Thanks Matt! Great video. I was at the DC show up there in the pit and was super bummed you all had to stop after 2 songs. As good as the other bands were, these were definitely the best 2 songs of the night! Come back to DC to play a full set? 😁

Hahah awesome, tell Mike we all say hi next time you see him.
Nice hoodie, can't wait for Smoke & Fiction to be released.
So weit so cool Matt!
Wann kommst du mit Rancid wieder nach Deutschland? '25?
hey Matt, ever going to tour Australia again?
It's funny how Nick Cave has these masterpiece songs that only get two comments on RUclips, but Rancid don't even get to play a full set and they get 115 more or less compliments. That's gotta feel good..
Thanks for the update Matt! Shit happens on tour and Mother Nature will have her way so……🤷🏽♂️😳🤣⛈️⛈️

The storm came up to wmass around maybe 445 and was a quick downpour and then 10 minutes later tstorms for a bit.
Bom demais Matt!!!
Quando vai ter show no Brasil?
I was here in Lollapalooza and that was great!!! ❤
So sad for that. Also, it would be really nice if you interview Tim one day ;)
Good content for the fans. Like and subscribe!

@@Micterwould have been nice to just drop the pumpkins full set for 2 full sets of rancid 😉
DC was a bummer. Stupid weather.
The backstage stuff is cool. Please show more.
Thanks for the behind the scenes look! But also, how the heck is Rancid playing before Smashing Pumpkins?
I'd be so bummed if rancid had to stop early so Smashing Pumpkins could play. Lol
Nice insight shame about your DC Set all the best with the rest of your shows Thanks for sharing Matt Take Care
Well damn. Shit happens I guess! All the more reason to play harder on the next stop! 🤘
Is this 2024? Let’s act like it’s 1994! Fuck it!
If you guys like these videos make sure to check out my live premiere tonight of "Breaking in to Mr. Freeman's Bunker". Don't worry Matt, I'll be gentle.
Did you use your Squier in this show?
"Longview, my favorite Green Day song" wonder why Matt 🤔
Green Day, I could take them or leave them.
Why a stadium when only maybe a fifth of the ground level is used? Do you end up with that many more sold tickets or this just an ego thing from the Green Day camp?
Are Billy Corgan and Lars wrestling buddies yet?
