Goo Goo Dolls - Live in Buffalo

Rating:
Summary: Pure passion...
Review: ...from one of rock's hardest working bands. Johnny and Robbie are two of the nicest, most genuine people in an industry fully of egos. Their down to earth personas shine through as they give the love back to their hometown fans in Buffalo, NY, despite a torrential downpour. A brilliant and moving peformance!

Summary: All the hits! great collection
Review: From Name to Here is Gone... all of the biggest hits performed live. This is the Real deal... this is more of an Anthology of hits that thier earlier album EOAC. That was more of a biography of where they've been. anyhow, this album / DVD shows the Goo Goo dolls' appeal, thier charisma and talent comes to the fore in all the songs.

I can't pick a fav song ... all the songs are profound in thier own way and all of them are songs i have been listening to over the years, golden songs.

Summary: Simply AMAZING!
Review: I have been a Goo Goo Dolls fan for about four years now. Actually, "fan" is pretty much an understatement. It's more like I'm obsessed! That being said, I had very high expectations for this DVD, and I can honestly say that it completely exceeded my expectations. It was so amazing to be able to watch the Goo Goo Dolls performing under the extreme rain conditions, having a blast, and giving back to the fans. I unfortunately was not at that concert, so it was especially rewarding for me to be able to experience it through this DVD. Anyone who claims to be a Goo Goo Dolls fan should definitely add this DVD to their collection. However, this DVD should be viewed by everyone! It just proves what a dedicated and amazing band the Goo Goo Dolls are. Do you know someone who is a Goo Goo Dolls fan? Do you want to know why? Well, then watch this DVD. I think it will give you the answer you are looking for.

Summary: I WAS THERE!!!!
Review: I went to this show with two friends of mine, and we managed to get about 30 feet from the stage. IT was pouring rain by the end, and I didnt think that this dvd would even come out because of it. The show was awsome! The rain made the whole experience even better! I cant wait to see the show a second time. THe set list was good, it covered all their big hits, and like I said before the rain added so much! BUY IT!

Summary: If you like the Goos at all, YOU WILL LOVE THIS DVD!!!
Review: The Goos' CD's are really good, but their live concerts are GREAT! I had the good fortune to be at this concert and from the clips I've seen, this DVD captures just what an amazing experience it was for everyone. If there is a DVD out there where you can "feel the love" between the band and their fans, it will be this one. If you're into reality television, have your umbrella ready ;)

Summary: Livin' large in Buffalo
Review: This has been such a long awaited treat for me, and I was so glad to have finally been able to find it! The Goo Goo Dolls have been one of my favorite bands since even before "A Boy Named Goo" was released. This was one of those bands that a lof of the indie fan friends I have were listening too, and I could see that this band was going places. Who ever knew it would explode into this, but I think it is fabulous!

You could not meet a nicer group of guys, who are truly down to earth, and in my opinion about the music, not necessarily about the money like so many other bands out there. They have the rockstar mentality on stage and know how to entertain, but they leave the ego right there on stage when they get off.

This DVD has been long awaited by many fans I am sure, and they did it the right way, right in Buffalo!

The DVD includes all of their big hits, as well as some great b-sides. Sound quality wise, I think it sounds just as good as anything else, and the Goo Goo Dolls are one of the better live bands that I like to see.

It amazes me at the quality of both the audio and the video considering the challenges they had during this show. As you will see on the dvd, the weather takes a turn for the nasty during January Friend. The rain starts, and it is a wicked down pour which later has them take a break, but they come back out and press on.

Some of my favorites moments from the show:

1) Broadway: starts off acoustically with just Johnny and Robby, and the rest of the band comes out, and I don't even think that Johnny knew they were coming back out. You can see them ripping the plastic off the drums, getting the drum mics back in place, etc. Johnny turns around and raises a high hand, and it is just an awesome moment!

2) Acoustic #3: one of my all time favorite Goo tunes, and he hits is despite horrible conditions.

3) Sympathy: I was never really a huge fan of this song after hearing it get so much airplay, but after hearing it live again, it was like hearing it all over again for the first time. It actually inspired me to learn it, and I too play it acoustically with my band, and open the second set with it usually.

4) January Friend: check out Robby during this song! He is happy as can be, totally into the show, and into the song. For me, this is what music is about, and I know exactly what he was feeling bustin' out that song for a hometown crowd! It gives me chills to see it, because he is just so damn happy! It's a great feeling to have, and I've been in his shoes.

5) when Johnny interacts with the crowd and gets the sign that says "Polish guys kick a$$."

I could go on and on with comments, but I won't. I will however leave you with these two words:

BUY IT!

Summary: amazing!!
Review: this show is amazing. i got lucky enough to catch a few songs on TV one night, then incredibly got to watch the end on a plane trip across the country and was sitting there grinning like an idiot because it was so awesome. sadly i couldn't rock out in the plane along with them but they are one of the coolest bands for playing half their concert in the rain and having fun doing it. instead of complaining and stopping, they kind of ignored the order to stop and succeeded in bringing back the band to finish. and it was damn obvious that they were having a blast. i was so impressed and it just made me love them more. you must see this if you are any kind of goo goo dolls fan. it's the best and johnny rocks my world.
