Goo Goo Dolls - 'Here Is Gone' Live Performance from Buffalo Concert
On July 4, 2004, the Goo Goo Dolls electrified their hometown crowd in Buffalo, NY, during a live performance at City Hall. This concert came just after the release of their sixth studio album, 'Gutterflower,' which had launched in 2002. Their sound during this period marked a shift, embracing a more mature pop rock style. Interestingly, the performance featured 'Here Is Gone,' a single that showcases the band's signature blend of emotive lyrics and catchy melodies. This was a pivotal time for the Goo Goo Dolls, as they were solidifying their place in mainstream rock, especially with hits like 'Iris' and 'Dizzy.' The live recording captures not just the energy of the crowd but the band’s deep connection to Buffalo, a city they hold dear. It's a beautiful representation of their journey as long-time bandmates who started in local clubs and now filled the air with heartfelt anthems.
