Bowling Bowling Bowling Parking Parking
Bowling Bowling Bowling Parking Parking is Green Day's second live EP, put out by Reprise Records in 1996. Most of it was captured in Tokyo and Prague on the band's 1996 tour for Insomniac. The one exception is "Knowledge", which comes from the earlier Dookie tour.
It was released across Eurasia, parts of South America and Australia, but has never had a North American release, which makes it something of a find for collectors on that side of the Atlantic. Sitting between Insomniac and nimrod., it catches the pop punk trio on the road in the wake of Dookie, with material from two very different stages of their rise on one short record.
