In November 1995, just as their song “Name” was becoming their first hit, Goo Goo Dolls played their biggest live show to date. It was at the prestigious Academy Theatre in New York City, as part CMJ’s Music Marathon – an important annual convention at the time. The entire concert was recorded by a mobile recording truck, including the acoustic soundcheck that was performed in front of an audience of competition winners and broadcast on Tom Calderone’s show on a local radio station. This release includes the soundcheck, full set and the encores the band played that night. 32 songs on either 3-LPs or 2-CDs that capture this special night and the incredible energy and intensity of the band’s performance.
