Laura's Review
Phoenix, AR July 17, 1999
 

Hey all. I just back from the Goo's show here in Phoenix! It totally kicked serious ass! They didn't look tired at all. Robby was a live-wire!!! And they really looked like they were enjoying themselves.  Anyways, Johnny wore his cowboy hat and a blank tank with those khaki pants he always wears (the ones with that white label on the back).  I didn't get to meet them (boo hoo)but they did wave at all of us waiting for them! I also saw Nathan smoking to answer that question asked not long ago. Also, something was up with their mikes. It was hard to hear lyrics. And at the end during "2 days" somebody hit (I think) Johnny's mike and it went out so we missed some of the lyrics. Robby pointed it out to him and he got on Robby's mike. Also, no story about Name this time but he did say his little quote about sticking your head up and
somebody trying to blow it off. He said something to the effect of, "this song gave me a lot of shit. Everybody keeps asking me how has the success affected you, how has success affected you. This is why my nieces and nephews keep asking me if I know the Backstreet Boys. That's when I give them a dollar and say f**k off. He also made a comment
about  Mark McGraff, the lead singer of Sugar Ray. he said, "hey about Sugar Ray? That lead singer is pretty hot, huh? I want to f**k him. (laugh) Just kidding, kidding."
    Anyways, merchandise was the same from the DUTG tour. The shirt with the design of them in suits with the science looking symbols on the back, the necklace, stickers. A hat with the symbols. a black shirt that listed all the groups performing names. Basic stuff. Nothing new.
    Fastball, was surprisingly good. I'm going to get their Cd. Sugar Ray I didn't care for because I didn't know their stuff was that hard. Also, Fastball performed for about 45 minutes, as did Sugar Ray.
    And several of us listers will be on MTV!!! Matt Pinfield saw us waiting and did an interview with us!! Is that like sweet or what?? It's on this MOnday on News 1515. I'll be taping. Amber did the talking. I'm right behind Matt with the glasses and showing my Goo pic. (if they don't' cut me out or something).
    Anyways, here's the set list. Forgive me if posted. I'm too excited to read all my email first.

Very awesome show! Just wish Johnny took off his hat so I could see his eyes. They also said they were going to the Mason jar afterwards, for anyone who wanted to see them. It's a bar out in Tempe so we didn't go. Don't know how to get there anyways.
