The set featured an eclectic mix of new and old, rock and mellow, showcasing the wide range of talents the group has perfected over the years. Performing “Here is Gone,” “Black Balloon” and “Slide.” Takac and Rzeznik also used the tour to give audiences a sneak preview of their forthcoming record with title track and single “Miracle Pill.” Of course, no Goo Goo Dolls set would be complete without “Iris” which got the entire venue on their feet dancing and singing along to one of the most iconic songs of the late 90s.
