Hard Rock Live in Orlando, located just inside the confines of City Walk on Universal Boulevard, is one of the premier concert venues, and for good reason. The “pit” area is huge; the balcony above has ample seating for those who do not like to be in the pit, and the bar has all the liquor you can imagine.
The Rocket Summer was the opening act. They were all over the stage, and even in the audience. There is even a portion of the performance where the lead singer plays every single instrument. Playing such songs as “Roses,” “Hills and Valleys,” and “Walls,” which has been featured on NBC’s Friday Night Lights and The Biggest Loser, they really had the crowd’s attention. Even those who didn’t know who they were before they went to the show definitely left impressed by this very young band.
The Goo Goo Dolls have the ability to capture even the biggest skeptic’s attention when they take the stage. You were definitely able to see why this band has such a big following, and why the concerts are so packed with avid fans. The crowd sang every song, except for the one the debuted from their up coming album. They played such hits as “Iris,” “Name,” “Slide,” “Better Days,” “Broadway,” and “Black Balloon,” just to name a few. John and Robby shared the singing duties on stage just like they do on all their albums. While John was singing, Robby was all over the stage, and vice versa. They know how to keep the crowds interest, and will even tell you a story, or two about how the songs were written.
This night was definitely one night to remember. Both bands were superb, and the audience really got into the music.
