Goo Goo Dolls Fan Review

When the Goo Goo Dolls took the stage, their iconic catalog came alive:  "Slide," "Black Balloon," and of course, "Iris" sent waves of nostalgia  through the crowd. John Rzeznik’s distinctive voice soared above the  collective sing-alongs, making it clear why their songs have become  staples of the American rock songbook. The live visuals added dynamism,  and a sea of black balloons during "Black Balloon" became a highlight.  The concert felt like a generational gathering—fans of all ages, from  longtime devotees to new listeners, were swept up in the music. 

While  the Goo Goo Dolls delivered the big moments expected of a legendary  act, the energy sometimes dipped during the newer material or between  songs, when Rzeznik’s banter occasionally missed its mark. Still, the  overall performance was filled with heart and gratitude for fans, making  it a memorable celebration of the band's thirty-year legacy.
