Background

Telegraph, Avenue in Berkeley, California

The title of the song refers to the corner of Stuart Street and Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, California, where Green Day originated. [1] Lyrically, the song deals with themes of breakup, filled with bad feelings and resentment. [2]

Live performances

One of the first known performances of "Stuart and the Ave." came as a soundcheck for Green Day's upcoming Jaded in Chicago concert in November 1994, roughly one year before the song's release. [3]

In July 2009, the band teased "Stuart and the Ave." during a performance at Madison Square Garden, with frontman Billie Joe Armstrong forgetting the lyrics. [4]

In April 2015, the band performed "Stuart and the Ave." for the first time publicly at a House of Blues in Cleveland, Ohio. [5]
