The Audience Is This Way
The Audience Is This Way is a live album from Goo Goo Dolls, released on 24 August 2018 through Warner Bros. Records. It sits in the pop rock and rock bracket that the band has worked in since their 1987 self-titled debut.
It arrived between two studio records, Boxes in 2016 and Miracle Pill in 2019, so it catches the band in the middle of a long career that began with Jed and Hold Me Up and took in A Boy Named Goo and Dizzy Up the Girl along the way. For anyone who knows those studio versions, a live set is a chance to hear how the songs sit when they are played to a crowd.
