Anyone a fan?
Here are some pictures from the concert I went to last week. It was all GA and I was right at the rail, perfect for seeing John, Mike, and Robby!

I have never heard of the Goo Goo Dolls.What kind of music do they sing?

Wow. I didn't realize the Goo Goo Dolls were still around to be honest!! I saw them when I was in college, about 10 years ago!

I love the Goo Goo Dolls. I went to their concert a few weeks back and it was really awesome. :D

Great pictures!! Was that in Ontario?
I was right at the rail only a few feet from the stage.
Here is a review I typed up for a GGD message board.


The concert was awesome! It was held in a giant dome (cover all arena) This was the first concert in this arena. It was all standing room, general admission.
We arrived at 4:45 and there was a little bit of a line. We waited outside until 6 pm. We were able to find a decent spot off to the side of the stage behind a few people who were at the rail. 7:30 the band Over It played for about 45 minutes. They were good. Their music was so loud you could barely hear the singer, so I can't really comment on their singing abilities. This was their second concert with GGD. During the intermission there were a group of girls behind me trying to push their way to the front. I wasn't about to let them push through me, but I took this opportunity to move to the open spot closer to the rail that they wanted. There were a few people in front of me, but someone offered me a spot on the rail. It was off the the right side of the stage, both John and Robby came right in front of me periodically. I felt bad for my friend who was trapped in the crowd. I have never been this close at a concert, it made the whole experience 100 times better. They were a few feet in front of me, and I could see the entire stage.
At 8:45 the Goo Goo Dolls took the stage. Their set list went something like this:
(the order isn't completely accurate)
Stay With You
Slide
Name
Black Balloon
Without You Here
We'll Be Here (When Your Gone)
Smash
Tucked Away
Naked
Better Days
January Friend
Iris
Sympathy
Let Love In
Broadway
Feel the Silence
Encore:
Become
Give a Little Bit

Both John and Robby were amazing live. John talked about spending Thanksgiving in Staten Island NY with his girlfriend, and everyone spoke Spanish.
When John played Sympathy, he made a big deal about remembering the lines. He said Robby was taking bets on whether or not he would remember the lyrics. When John successfully sang the song, Robby came out and gave him a hug and a kiss. (I unfortunately don't have any pictures)
John threw lots of guitar picks into the audience, but I didn't catch any.
The concert was superb and my ears are still ringing, I tried not to scream too much so I would still have a voice tomorrow

No, it was in Quebec.

Ohh thanks for the set list! I didn't know the names of three songs so here we have it now! hahah.

Did you guys release black balloons through the crowd during the song, too? That was my highlight - it's my favourite song even. Ahhh, good times. :D
