Movie Reviews of Goo Goo Dolls - Live in BuffaloMovie Review: Livin' large in Buffalo Summary: 5 Stars
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!
