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.

Hot and humid outdoor concert, but wonderful performance and diverse crowd.
We had great seats, great weather. Johnny was a true performer. Loved the venue. Very intimate, we were able to see and hear everything. Surprised by how small the crowd was. They played all there hits which were a blast to sing and dance along with.
Goo Goo Dolls rocked the outside venue at Horseshoe Casino last night! They played almost all of their hit songs and they really interacted with the audience.
IT was so HUMID and DISGUSTING! But the concert was amazing and made you forget about all of that! Johnny Rocked and was wearing an awesome G-Star t-shirt *throwback to Transformers* WOOP! But it was absolutely amazing! I cannot wait to see them next year, hopefully at verizon this time!
Goo Goo Dolls are always amazing - never disappoint - great live band!!!
Best venue and concert I've ever been too!! They sound better live than in studio. If you enjoy there music than def. go see one of there shows, you won't be disappointed!!
What was not perfect about this concert? The music was fantastic. They did an amazing job of engaging with the crowds and played the best songs. There wasn't anyone who wasn't singing along with them. It was a wonderful concert. Everyone should go to their concerts! You won't be disappointed. They rocked!
Aside from a couple problems with Johnny's guitar, great show! And even so, the band played on and adjusted! Great show, lots of the hits and classics.
