BOSTON, MA | It was a Big Night Out in Boston as the Goo Goo Dolls filled Leader Bank Pavilion, a popular sea-side outdoor venue in the historic city, with contagious energy.
The Big Night Out tour welcomed O.A.R. as an opener on this leg of their travels and they did not disappoint in more than warming up the crowd as the band brought both their talent and immense energy to the amphitheater. They could have played all night.
The Goo Goo Dolls kicked off their set with those familiar first strums of “Broadway.” As the drums kicked in, so did the excitement of fans. The Goo Goo Dolls really connect with the crowd, many of which are long-time devoted fans, playing one song right into the next with a transition of just a few seconds. With their hits mixed in with brand new songs, this and their band longevity proved they are certainly not stuck in the ’90s. The evening was full and gave everyone a thorough performance.
Fans were loving every minute of it, especially Sabrina Curtis of Dracut, MA. “My boyfriend and I thought the show was amazing! We’ve been fans of the Goo Goo Dolls forever. My boyfriend has seen them live before, but this was my first time. I bought these tickets as a Christmas present for him—it was his ‘big’ gift! They sounded incredible and I was on my feet all night!”
