Good Charlotte returned this summer with “Youth Authority,” their sixth album and the first in six years from the the quintet of Joel and Benji Madden, Paul Thomas, Billy Martin and Dean Butterworth. But the band’s show Thursday night at downtown’s Novo was as much about the past as the present — they played a 17-song, crowd-pleasing set that included some of their biggest hits, including “The Anthem” to start the show, “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” to finish it and songs like “The River” and “Girls & Boys” in between. Just three of the songs came from the new album, “Makeshift Live,” “Life Changes” and “The Outfield.”

Set Your Goals kicked off the night, followed by the Story So Far.
