The Goo Goo Dolls - VH-1 Storytellers, VH-1 Storytellers Studio, New York City, 3-12-2002

Next for the "VH-1 Storytellers" album series is an episode featuring the Goo Goo Dolls.

The Goo Goo Dolls have sold 15 million albums worldwide. But their popularity definitely peaked with one album, 1998's "Dizzy Up the Girl," which sold five million albums in the U.S. alone. For this concert they were supporting the follow-up album to that one, "Gutterflower." It would be released a month after this concert. That album would sell slightly less than a million copies in the U.S., which was a good showing but still a steep drop from the previous one.

Only performances of two songs from that album were included here: "Big Machine" and "Sympathy." Probably more were played but the concert was edited down to fit the TV show time slot.

As was usually the case with this TV show, only the end of the first song was included. But I found a different version of that song, "Name," and used it to fill in the missing portion. That's why that song has "[Edit]" in the title. I believe I also boosted the lead vocals relative to the instruments using the UVR5 program, since they were low in the mix.

This album is 47 minutes long.
