Title: LIB Review in UK Classic Rock Magazine
Post by LouAndNic on Mar 15^th, 2005, 8:45am

With thanks to fellow UK Goo fan Liz for sending us the following, it appears that Goo Live in Buffalo is reviewed in the month's Classic Rock magazine!!!!

Keep on rockin'

Lou & Nic

"Goo Goo Dolls
Live in Buffalo

'Not-for-export Yanks get drenched as weather turns foul in their hometown.'

'The Goo Goo Dolls are one of those American bands that are beyond massive at home (multi-platinum sales, Grammy awards, the lot) but mean very little in the UK, so Live in Buffalo' is unlikely to appeal to anyone who has not already succumbed to their not inconsiderable charms.'
'Catching them in their hometown, we get a two-hour greatest hits show, halfway through which the heavens opened and **** near drowned the band. It's testament to them that they carried on (irrespective of whether the cameras were there or not). The anthemic Iris gets the biggest cheer of the night despite them now looking like drowned rats, and the DVD sounds massive - especially in surround-sound.'
'The pack also includes an insightful documentary, a raucous commentary track from the band and engineers, and a full CD version of the show'.

8 out of 10"

Classic Rock have always given the Goos good reviews (even if there are a lot of factual errors in them!)
