After giving away free vinyl featuring two new songs at last week’s incredible surprise headline show, Green Day have now performed both tracks live to a loooooad more people.

On Thursday night, the trio celebrated their highly-anticipated return by dishing out some select copies of a special 7” record at the 1,000-capacity Fremont Country Club, featuring upcoming single The American Dream Is Killing Me, and another newbie called Look Ma, No Brains!.

And over the weekend, Billie Joe Armstrong and co. played both tracks at Vegas mega-bash When We Were Young, airing American Dream… on both evenings, and Look Ma… for the first time ever last night (October 22).

Here’s how the absolutely excellent performance looked and sounded:
