Goo Goo Dolls toast British weather at V Festival
Big crowd turn up at the V Stage for the band's afternoon set

1 hour ago

Goo Goo Dolls played an early afternoon set at the V Festival in drizzly Chelmsford today (August 19), finding time to toast the British weather.

Sporting baggy cargo pants and a brown jacket, singer John Rzeznik led his band through fan favourites such as 'Slide' and 'Broadway' as the drizzle floated down on the packed V Stage crowd.

Before playing 'January', which he sung vocals on, bassist Robby Takac noted the rainand said, "This looks like perfect British dancing weather to me - so let's do a little dancing."

However, by the time the band played epic closer 'Iris', the rain had lifted and the crowd sang along before cheering loudly at the end.

Goo Goo Dolls played:

'Stay With You'
'Slide'
'Feel The Silence'
Black Balloon'
'January'
'Naked'
'Let Love In'
'Broadway'
'Iris'

Oh too bad, I thought it was from this festival. :(
Should have looked at the date instead of just following the link at another page about V festival. :P

He's got the wrong guitar for Iris! lol Must be another song they're singing for him :P ;) haha...that's the way to do it. Just like Noel Gallagher never sings the chorus to Don't Look Back in Anger anymore- he says the crowd just drown him out so there's no point in him singing too haha
