More Goo Stuff


My Houston Earth Day 2000 Review 4/1/00

As soon as I heard about the concert I made plans to go I live in Southern Il. so I had a 14 hr. drive so we (My Sister,Janet and her son Chris 15) left on Thursday night we got to Houston Friday around noon. We stayed in the hotel that night and I was so excited I couldn't sleep even though I did all the driving there and back.

So I did manage a few hrs.of sleep the traffic made us late we arrived at the festival around noon we missed Edwin McCain and cought part of the Virtical Horizon we first ate then Chris and I decided to try to get in the front for the Goos performance. We were about 12 rows back but after Dido and Smash Mouth we were in about the 5th row. Smash Mouth was encouraging a lot of body surfing and jumping around and people were pushing so, as bad as I wanted to see the Goos I had to get out of the mosh pit (I'm too old for that kinda stuff, I am the same age as Robby)

This was my first Goo show so I was really upset that the crowd was so rowdy. So I handed my camera to Chris and told him to get lots of pix for me (they are not developed yet but I will put them up as soon as I get them) I went to the side of the stage away from the crowd and stood there. I could see John pretty good cause he came over to that side of the stage alot and I could see Robby a few times I couldnt see Mike at all :o( they looked and sounded great!!! At one point someone threw a wig on stage and John put it on it was so funny he was banging his head until it fell off. The wig was blond spiked like it looked like his hair when he was younger.

They played Dizzy, January Friend, Name, Iris, Hate This Place, Another Second Time Around, Lazy Eye, Impersonality, Slide, Black Balloon, Broadway, Burning Up, Flat Top, and more that I cant think of right now, but Robby sang a lot more songs than I expected he sounded great as did John even though I didnt have the best seats in the place I had a great time and they were awesome I will go see them again but general admission is for the birds next time go, I will see a show with assigned seats.
