Goo Goo Dolls proved why their anthemic rock and power-ballad blend has stuck around at NPR Music’s Tiny Desk Concert. They kicked things off with “Slide,” revisited 2006’s hidden gem “Feel the Silence,” and rolled into the meditative “Not Goodbye (Close My Eyes)” before sealing the deal with the seismic rush of “Iris.” John Rzeznik’s signature velvet rasp carried every melody, while the band’s tight chemistry made the small studio feel like a sold-out arena.
This stripped-down performance isn’t just nostalgia—it’s proof these songs live on as communal anthems, whether you’re belting them in your car, at karaoke night, or in NPR’s offices. Backed by Robby Takac on bass, Jimmy McGorman on keys, Brad Fernquist on guitar, and Craig Macintyre on drums, the Goo Goo Dolls turned a 15-minute set into a heartfelt connection.
