Goo Goo Dolls, a band that rose from the punk scene in Buffalo, New York, penned several of the most definitive hits of the ’90s. Forming in 1985, the Goo Goo Dolls experimented with hard rock before landing on a winning formula that incorporated elements of acoustic and alternative rock for 1995’s A Boy Named Goo. The album yielded the band’s first Billboard 200 chart placement at No. 27 and its unlikely third single “Name” climbed to No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. In 1998, the band vaulted to global ubiquity with “Iris,” a ballad written for the City of Angels soundtrack that later ushered in their quintuple-platinum sixth album Dizzy up the Girl. The song remained atop the former Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart for 18 weeks, a record that stood until 2020. The Goo Goo Dolls solidified their stratospheric success with the equally catchy follow-up single “Slide,” which hit No. 8 on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum itself. In 2002, Gutterflower earned the band their highest Billboard 200 peak at No. 4, while 2006’s Let Love In added more catalog highlights like “Better Days'' and a cover of Supertramp’s “Give a Little Bit.” Founding members Johnny Rzeznik and Robby Takac have toured extensively across the 2010s while maintaining a steady output of new projects, including 2019’s Miracle Pill and 2022’s self-produced Chaos in Bloom.

Band is just as fabulous live; may be better than their recordings. We finally got to a live concert together - it was worth every penny. Could tell John was ill - so dedicated - but still did awesome on vocals (thanks for not letting fans down). ..Robby still our favorite funny man (G says: still have the guitar pick you gave me at our Samsung Xmas party, thanks!).
The Goo Goo Dolls bring it every single time! They have mastered musicanship, vocal chops, and crowd engagement. This band exudes the expertise of seasoned performers combined with the energy and stamina of much younger bands. While I would prefer harder, deeper cuts, their concerts thrill long-term and casual fans alike. If you're on the fence, just go!
What a perfect night! The concert was at the Vetter Stone Amphitheater. The weather was beautiful. Fitz and the Tantrums were the opening act. They had so much energy and l wish they could have played longer. This is the second time I have seen GGD. They played nonstop for 90 minutes. I've been a fan since 1990 and they keep getting better!
Very good show especially the warm up band very good leading to the main band The venue however needs to remind people to be respectful of others I could not see part of the show and considered leaving because I could only see the band on a TV screen which I could have seen in my own home other then that it was a great show
They performed up to par. Love their music. Only draw back. They didnt play my favorite song, which is their number 2 hit. Bummer
I've been to shows where the artist just went next, next, next goodnight everyone, and some that milled around but GGD had just the right amount of audience interaction. The set list was great they played the hits, a little new stuff and one's that made you go oh yeah I remember this. Most importantly they played like they cared. I would definitely go again.
I laughed, I screamed, I cried. This was the best concert I’ve attended. The energy from GGD, and the people around me was phenomenal. My heart is happy forever. Nothing bad to say about this one!
I saw the Goo Goo dolls last year for free at the Virginia Beach oceanfront, so I was questioning whether to see them again at a paid venue. I'm glad I did. The show was even better this time at the Portsmouth Pavilion! And I seemed to really hear the lyrics of many of the songs like never before, and really found them relatable and inspiring! I couldn't believe all the guitars! I counted 38 of them sitting in racks on the side of the stage. He changed them out frequently during the concert. Never saw that before. All around, a fabulous concert!
Great performance, the venue was right on top of everything.
It was a great concert ot wasn't overly too loud you could hear everything very well. Had a great time
Great show from start to finish. I really enjoyed it as did my daughter.
Excellent seats close to the stage. Worth the money I spent. Looking forward for more concerts to go to in the future.
Both Fitz and the Tantrums and The Goo Goo Dolls were very entertaining. Lots of audience participation and a fun atmosphere! Can’t wait for the lineup for 2024 events at the amphitheater!😊
The Goo Goo Dolls did not disappoint. Great show. Rzeznik has such a cool and unique voice. He could sing the phone book and it would be moving and entertaining. Looking forward to what the venue has in store for next season. I would definitely see these guys again if they came around.
An absolutely amazing show and the theatre was awesome! Well laid out, easy to navigate, super friendly staff. Both bands were so fun and the dolls were absolutely a dream come true to watch!!!!
Concert and opening act was awesome! Loved everything about it! 2nd time seeing Goo Goo Dolls!
Great band, great tour!! Johnny and the band never disappoints!
Goo Goo Dolls were amazing! Back to back songs, energetic, passionate, and committed to their craft. I have been a fan for 25+ years and am so mad I waited so long to see them! Just fantastic. I've been telling everyone. I intend to see them again!!!
The show was great, and the venue was great The only downside was had to take a mortgage out to get drinks or popcorn.
Goo Goo Dolls always put on an amazing show and this time was no different. Portsmouth pavilion is a wonderful venue.
