We loved the venue. The concert was great. It started on time.We loved Green River Ordinance. Switchfoot,and Goo Goo Dolls. We loved how personal the Switchfoot lead singer made the show. He came into the crowd to interact. They all played all their hits we love so much.

The band opened with Rocket Summer they were pretty good, but when the goo goo dolls came on you thought rocket who? They played for 2 hours and did an encore. They sound better live then on the records. So excited for a new cd, and will definitely go to another concert of theirs soon. J. Rzeznik & the goo goo dolls i love your music, and have for most of my life <3

Seen a lotta shows from Metallica to George Strait to Rage Against the Machine...this was definitely in my top 5. These guys played hit after hit for 2 hours. No special effects - just a down-to-earth rock'n roll band that appreaicates their fans. Great show. I'd definately go see them again.

The Goo Goo Dolls were really good, but only played for 1 1/2 hours. They usually played for 2 hours when I saw them previously. The opening band did not interest me at all. The Goo Goo Dolls should have performed the entire time. I was disappointed with the seating arrangements at the Sands Event Center. All of the seating rows were at equal level, which made it very hard to see the Goo Goo Dolls on stage. I expected the rows to be elevated behind one another to give a better view of the stage.

Of course the show rocked - it was the Goo Goo Dolls!! They were awesome! I was on the left side of the floor, close to the stage. Perfect view. I met some people around me who were really nice and added to a great experience. The Goo were high energy and are always gracious to their fans. John seemed quieter than usual, but an excellent performer nonetheless. His humor and interaction with the crowd is very cool. I especially liked when he said "take care of each other" at the end of the night. Very sweet and very appropriate in light of the Boston bombings. They are my favorite band and I really love them. I wish them much success with their tour.

I was very disappointed with this concert. First of all, Johnny was not into the concert at all. He seemed very dull and as if he didn't want to be there. He looked very sickly as well. Then to make the concert worse I have never seen such a number of rude and catty people. I had standing 'seats' and people were constantly leaving their seats and forcing their way back into their old spot. Most of the time it was not near their old spot so they were constantly RUDELY shifting people from their spots. I did not show up 2 hours early to get a good spot to be rudely pushed out of it and back further than I was. I was constantly sandwiched between people and at one point had a woman's ponytail in my mouth. It was the most disappointing concert I have been to. Would recommend getting seats because it ruined the entire concert for me.

The venue was great. Not meant for people who cannot stand for long periods of time, but great to get close to the stage. Obviously the Goo put on an amazing show. The opening band was good, I wanted to get their CD but they didn't wait until after to Goo show. There was no way I was losing my spot.

The venue is small which I enjoyed. They played for about an hour and a half. Of course, they played every hit or popular song they have ever had. But to me they seemed to be in a hurry. One song after another and little to no interaction with the crowd. I would not see them again.

It was great to hear all the classics and they sounded good, but it was not a great show.

John Rzeznik seemed to not be 100%, perhaps sick? At least twice, they had to play another string of music because he missed the point to sing the next line in the song. The encore was really good and i think that was partly because John talked with the audience and the audience got juiced up with the talk.

There was very little involvement with the crowd - we were never really brought into the show except for telling us about the new music. He even mentioned how great it felt to be playing something new, to which you could feel much more energy in their new songs.

Could have done without the 4 songs performed by bassist Robby Takac - crowd not too much into them and every time they went to them you could feel the show brought to a screeching halt.

Good to hear the songs but left the show expecting more.

Johnny looked and sounded amazing! I'm guessing he just got out of shower and gelled his hair back. He may have been slightly under the weather but that didn't stop him from putting an amazing show!

THE GOO GOO DOLLS ROCKED THE JOINT
I went to the show really expecting to hear a couple of old songs with a couple of new songs.
Turns out the show was almost two hours of one song after another. They even played a few songs from when Bobby (the bass player) was the lead singer. The energy was just crazy in the place, they had the crowd on their feet and screaming for more. At one point they let a girl from the audience get upn stage and sing with them. They ended with Iris and the package was complete. A great time was had by all and the tickets were more than worth it.

Asit turned out I was wonderfully wrong. They still have it after all these years. Thanx guys

Johnny Rzeznik is so freakin' talented, sexy and entertaining. I could listen to him and watch him for hours!! I was so sad when the show ended. He puts a lot of energy into his show and he brings the audience along with him. You can tell he loves what he's doing. I am so thrilled that I finally got to see him perform live. My only gripe is that one of my favorite songs is "Name" and I feel it was ruined by that woman he let come up on stage to sing with him. i imagined him singing that song alone with one lone spot light on him. That would have been perfect!! But I still love him!!!
