In the early 90’s, my boyfriend and I planned to meet up at the Goo Goo Dolls show at Lees Palace in Toronto. He was late and I couldn’t figure out where he was.
We finally found each other; he had left his wallet in the taxi he took there, and of course his ticket was in his wallet. The show was sold out.
He ended up running into the band out back and explained his story and they brought him in with them. He hung out in the back with them and showed them how to do bottle tokes. With hash. Lol they were the best guys and I wish them well.
Edit: I found the setlist, it was April 1991

They rocked so hard before Dizzy Up The Girl. A Boy Named Goo is criminally underrated. Such a shame the band didn’t keep this direction going.

Totally agree! They absolutely rocked hard and were a lot of fun.

They also probably got sick of hearing themselves on those "daddy what were you like in the 90s" posts.

You can at least get the syllable count right if you’re gonna try to show the internet how funny you think you are. You tried.
