I love the Goo Goo Dolls. They're in my top 5 rock bands, for sure, though I'm not even really certain who else is on that list. So naturally when my buddy Ashley told me that she was going to their concert on Saturday, I told her that if for some reason they couldn't make it to the concert, we'd gladly take their places. To which Ashley responded that actually she'd just see if she couldn't score us some tickets instead, since it was a concert being sponsored by Nu Skin, her husband's employer. And sure enough, Josh, her hubby, was able to get us some tickets! So Cory and I went to the concert while my parents watched the girls (thanks so much!), and had a really great time. I took a few pics, but they're from my phone, so you'll have to excuse the poor quality. Oh, and they're mostly pictures of the screens on the walls, because that was the only way I could really see what was actually happening up there. Anyways, Cory and I knew all their songs but 3 (I think all 3 of the ones we didn't know were new), so we really enjoyed singing along with almost the entire concert. What a great night. Thanks again Ashley, Josh, Mom and Dad for allowing us a great date night!
The Stage/Lead Singer, John
Did you know they had a saxophonist? Neither did I! But I'd like to point out that he plays tenor, by far the most superior sax. Or at least the most versatile. He also played keyboards in the back. Sweet!
Because it was a convention crowd, people were filtering out throughout the concert, allowing us to move up and get better seats... in this one you can actually see the performers!
Singing "Name," my favorite of their songs.
Proof that they do in fact have 2 singers... I'd always kind of figured they did, since they have 2 different sounds, but had never researched it. Turns out their bassist was the original singer, but then they started having the guitarist sing, and that was when they made it big. I much prefer the voice of the guitarist, but the bassist was a pretty entertaining guy too, so... whatever. I'll take it all. Like I said, I love the Goo Goo Dolls.
Seriously, such a great concert.

I love Goo Goo Dolls too. I "drew out" for their concert in SLC during the Olympics and it was fantastic.
