The Goo Goo Dolls brought their timeless blend of arena-ready anthems and heartfelt ballads to NPR’s Tiny Desk, opening with the velvet-rasped nostalgia of “Slide” and slipping in deeper cuts like the underrated “Feel the Silence” and the meditative “Not Goodbye (Close My Eyes).” John Rzeznik’s voice shines as bright as ever, backed by Robby Takac’s bass, Jimmy McGorman’s keys, Brad Fernquist’s strings and Craig Macintyre’s drums.
They wrap up with the ever-resonant “Iris,” a song that’s bounced from blockbuster soundtracks to karaoke bars but still lands like a punch of sincere emotion in the tiny office space, proving these Goo Goo Dolls classics never lose their power.
