I did know about Tom Kitt’s contributions. I am sure you saw the documentary as well? I think that he helped make the songs more theatrical by adding not only the string section, but also the choral work. The arrangements are stunning and helped bring a lifelong musical theatre devotee (me) in sync with Green Day’s style of music. I was excited he would collaborate with Green Day on their next albums! I got Uno and Dos but petered out before Tres 😊.
I think Good Riddance is a great song, I just don’t love it as the encore to American Idiot the musical. The still silence at the end of the show (before it was added) had a profound effect on me and my love for the show. I’m so grateful I chanced to see an early performance before it was added. |
