August 22nd

Garden State Amphitheater

Holmdel, NJ

 

Let me start with just an overview and say that this concert totally kicked ass!!! I never thought that I would have as much fun as I did. The Goo�s are certainly a magical group to catch live.

First, Fastball was ok. They weren�t doing too badly until they tried playing a country song. That one totally lost the crowd for them. Sugar Ray was awesome. Mark McGrath had a little Tiki Bar on the side of the stage and was drinking during the whole thing. He really knows how to put on a show.

The Goo Goo Dolls came out and played an awesome set. I know that these are the songs they played, but I don�t know if it�s the correct order or not:

Dizzy

Long Way Down

Lazy Eye

Naked

Slide

Another Second Time Around

Black Balloon

January Friend

Full Forever

Just the Way You Are

There You Are

Burnin Up

Name Acoustic #3

Iris

Two Days In February

It was great to hear them play some of the songs off of Hold Me Up and SSCW (my personal favorite). Although they didn�t play my favorite song (Stop the World), I still had the time of my life. The only thing that got on my nerves was that some guy was trying to hit me because I wouldn�t sit down. I�m sorry, but number one, if you want to sit, get a lawn seat: and number 2, the Goos are too awesome live, to just sit and watch. You have to get up and get into it, you can�t help it! This guy knew like only one song�Iris, go figure. I hate people like that.

Anyway, the concert was great, and I can�t wait until I get the chance to see them again. GOOS RULE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
