On November 21, 1995, the rapidly ascending three-piece traveled to New York City for CMJ Music Marathon. On the eve of what would be their biggest show in New York at that time, the group delivered a stripped-down soundcheck performance for Tom Calderone’s radio station “Dare to be Different" on 92.7 FM, which was mixed and recorded by legendary producer Jerry Finn (Blink-182, The Offspring). Not only was it the first time the trio had ever recorded a live show, but it was their debut acoustic performance in front of a live audience. Both the soundcheck performance and the group's show at The Academy captured a special moment in their blossoming career.
Last week marked the 25th anniversary of the Goo Goo Dolls’ iconic record Dizzy Up The Girl. Fans can celebrate the anniversary with a limited-edition reissue HERE, which is pressed on metallic silver vinyl.
Dizzy Up The Girl catapulted the band into mainstream success, selling over 6 million copies worldwide. The album has gone 5x Certified Platinum in the U.S. and features 5 top 10 singles, including hit songs such as “Iris” (4 GRAMMY nominations, 8x Certified Platinum, over 1 billion Spotify streams), “Slide” (3x Certified Platinum, 240 million Spotify streams) and “Black Balloon” (Certified Platinum, 65 million Spotify streams). Fans can also watch/share remastered music videos of “Iris” HERE, “Black Balloon” HERE, “Dizzy” HERE“ and “Broadway” HERE.
Following their 9 sold-out UK shows in June this year, the band play the final dates of The Big Night Out Tour during September in the U.S., which sees them continue to deliver career-encompassing sets that feature songs from their recent album Chaos in Bloom and other hits from their back catalogue. The final run of dates can be found below.
