Punk rock band Green Day is now streaming an official live video featuring their previously unreleased single Cigarettes and Valentines, reports Spinner.
The video is part of the upcoming CD/DVD release, Awesome as F–k, documenting the band’s 21st Century Breakdown tour over the past two years.
"We’re going to play a brand new song. It ain’t that brand new," frontman Billie Joe Armstrong introduced the song. Cigarettes and Valentines was recorded as part of an LP that was meant to be released prior to 2004’s American Idiot. However, after the master recordings were stolen, the album was scrapped and American Idiot was born instead.
Only last year did the band begin performing Cigarettes and Valentines for live audiences, and the version included on Awesome as F–k will be the first official recording ever released by the band.
Other songs on the documentary are mostly from Green Day’s post-American Idiot career, with a few of their earlier hits mixed in, including their debut single, When I Come Around, and fan-favorite J.A.R. (Jason Andrew Relva).
Although the new CD/DVD album is not due out until March 22, the Cigarettes and Valentinesvideo can be viewed online here.
