Green Day to reveal Awesome as Fuck Live Album in March

A few months back we brought you footage of Green Day performing “Cigarettes and Valentines”, the oft-talked about but never heard title track from the aborted album that eventually led to the American Idiot sessions. At that point we already knew that a live album was in the works, but now we have the actual, official video from that performance:

That performance and others will appear on Awesome as Fuck, due out on CD and DVD March 22. Live albums have never been Green Day’s forte. 2005′s Bullet in a Bible wasn’t great, and based on that trailer I’m not 100% sold on this one being much better. If anything is going to save it, it’s the tracklisting. Rather than essentially release a “Greatest Hits Live” compilation, Green Day went digging way into their back catalog to add some gems to this record. The tracklisting is as follows:

1. 21st Century Breakdown – (London, England)
2. Know Your Enemy – (Manchester, England)
3. East Jesus Nowhere – (Glasgow, Scotland)
4. Holiday – (Dublin, Ireland)
5. Gloria – (Dallas, Texas)
6. Cigarettes And Valentines – (Phoenix, Arizona)
7. Burnout – (Irvine, California)
8. Pasalaqua – (Chula Vista, California)
9. JAR – (Detroit, Michigan – August 23rd 2010)
10. Holden Caulfield – (New York, New York)
11. Geek Stink Breath – (Saitama-shi, Japan)
12. When I Come Around – (Berlin, Germany)
13. She – (Brisbane, Australia – December 8th 2009)
14. 21 Guns – (Mountain View, California)
15. American Idiot – (Montreal, QUE)
16. Wake Me Up – (Nickelsdorf, Austria)
17. Good Riddance – (Nickelsdorf, Austria)

Prediction: Before the end of 2012, we will have heard studio versions of at least one song (if not more) from Cigarettes and Valentines.
