I was just thinking about GGD, and I always found it weird that despite how they're from NY, they've never headlined that arena. Anyone know why that is?

Did anyone catch their awesome
Cover of this Neil young classic last night on the CBS special ?? I would really love a covers album from the goos! They have so many awesome covers they have done over the decades

As the Goo Goo Dolls perform for the nation tonight, we're celebrating where it all began.

The Buffalo History Museum is honored to announce Long Way Home: 40 Years of the Goo Goo Dolls. An exhibit tracing the band's remarkable journey from Buffalo clubs to sold-out arenas around the world.

Coming

September 16.

Happy Fourth of July everyone! I figured today would be the perfect time to continue our Goo Goo Dolls album discussions by talking about Live in Buffalo: July 4th, 2004.

This has always been one of my favorite live albums. There’s something special about hearing the band perform in their hometown on the Fourth of July. The crowd is into every song from start to finish, and you can tell the band was feeding off that energy. To me, it really captures what made the Goo Goo Dolls such a great live band during this era.

A few performances that stand out to me:

“Broadway” – I've loved hearing this one live. It has a little more energy than the studio version, and the crowd really adds to it.

“Black Balloon” – One of my favorite performances on the album. Johnny's vocals are fantastic, and the emotion comes through just as much as it does on the studio recording.

“Here Is Gone” – This has always been one of my favorite Goo Goo Dolls songs, and I think the live version does it justice. It keeps all the emotion while adding a little extra punch.

“Name” – Hearing the crowd sing along makes this performance feel special. It's one of those songs that seems to get better every time they play it live.

“Iris” – It's hard to talk about this album without mentioning Iris. Even after hearing it so many times, the live version still gives me chills. The crowd singing every word makes it one of the highlights of the entire concert. Not to mention the rain making it, in my opinion, one of the most epic perfromance of live music.

To me, Live in Buffalo: July 4th, 2004 feels like a snapshot of the band at one of the strongest points in their career. Between the hometown atmosphere, the setlist, and the performance itself, it's an album I still find myself coming back to years later.

How do you feel about Live in Buffalo: July 4th, 2004?

Do you have a favorite performance from the album, or were you lucky enough to be at the concert?

Don't forget to listen to it today!

Hey this is too all of my big GGD fans out there who go way back with the first albums. Does anyone know what happened to self titled/Black Friday there very first album it got taken off Spotify and some over services I’m not sure if it was something services were doing or Johnny and Robby’s wishes. I can’t find the full album anywhere except on YouTube form “Temple of goo” and it’s called “Goo Goo Dolls - First Release (Temple Of Goo 2025 remaster)” but good thing I do own the physical record of this album I own all of there records self titled-let love in except for superstar because it sadly hasn’t been released on record yet :( but if anyone knows anything with that please lmkkk.
