Lyrics:
And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now
And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
When sooner or later it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you'd bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

There’s something so special about this performance… the rain, the song, the crowd just living in the moment. I get goosebumps every time I watch this.
The crowd brought them back up - totally stole the show themselves haha amazing
That username shows dedication!
the rain the song and the fact it was in front of there hometown thats what made this bone chilling
@@lotuspod1222yes! The fact that it’s a hometown gig makes it so special. You can see how much it means to the band!
Absolutely iconic!! 🙌🏼
The rain just sends it to a next level. Never seen anything like this.
Quality, isn't it?
Reminds me of when Prince played Purple Rain during Super Bowl halftime show in the rain.
That's our home, Western NY. I'm waiting for them to play in a blinding snowstorm.. Now that would be kickass

“I’d give up forever to touch you” the whole damn opening is just a beautiful stanza
@@shayne2113 As souls reject the knowledge of truth:
Without the wisdom and understanding of truth, every soul is then heading to hell, to pay for their sins, which they did while on earth; lies, stealing's, cheating, abusing's, destroying's , killings (even just through words, killing is done) = regrets, as soul then, fully understand, how terrible ways life was wasted away + being as a whole being in flames, 24/7/365, not a single moment out from it, - you`d be still fine?
From that very moment, we call, we are saved, for we dared to have faith and trust in GOD already, or we wouldnt have called.
Psalms 145:18
The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
Psalms 55:16
As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
The 2 musts:
1.)come to the knowledge of truth
2.) and get saved

Guitars can be replaced, but moments like this you can never get back. They made the right choice to play. What a show!
They were warned about equipment damage but played anyway in the rain. Such an amazing performance to go back to and watch on repeat, taking in all of the details.
Worth every penny
The biggest risk was any of one of them could’ve been electrocuted It’s extremely risky to perform in the rain.
❤@@DairwoodBarton27
@@DairwoodBarton27 The vocal mic and all the instruments are wireless so there's not much risk. A little battery that's in a wireless pack getting wet ain't gonna kill anybody.
It will be 20 years next month since this performance took place. I hope that everyone in the crown had true joy in that moment. Happiness is such a fleeting emotion so I really hope everyone who sees this has as much joy as I did. Please have a wonderful life. Love, Autumn
Same for you buddy
The fact that they don't care that it's raining cause they wanted to feel and breathe this song it's just epic. The rain is the best effect that made the segment perfect
It was artificial rain
Makes me want to be there even more
right
A wet dream for a few thousand folks...
Rain? This song is epic. I would change with every single one there complaining about rain. Who cares?!? Please come back whenever possible and beat this damn isolating pandemic!

He really does not, even though it's a nice live performance
@@NuclearCha0s i disagree, this version is so so much better than the recorded version.
Yeah nahhhhh haha it’s a good performance but nahhh
@@rasberryiceify yeah you can’t beat the recorded version but this is up there in its own way. Performance of a lifetime right here.
the fact that he also sang this w out an earpiece in and was just living in the moment and wanted the cameras to capture the audience… it’s one of the best performances I’ve ever seen honestly
I miss this era. Just human beings brought together for the love of music with no phones out. Living in the moment. Fuck yeah.
@ericengbloom3857 It's so crazy to me that like 80% of the North American population thinks anyone cares so much about their life that they need to record every cathartic experience they have. Like, not a single person cares, I'm sorry. We do not need to see your shitty POV of an NFL game, we're gonna watch it on TV if we want to see it. You aren't special, stop recording everything like your life is a reality TV show.
Sorry for the rant.

2. Spacehog "In The Meantime"
3. Thursday "War All The Time"
This and everlong. Both are better in the live performances
@@oswurth8774 agreed

It’s very refreshing to hear someone actually sound like the actual song live
True that lol and in the rain
A lot of the rock/alternative bands from the early 2000s still recorded their songs live in the studio so their live performances usually sounded just as good.
Better actually
Especially now with auto tune and other tech. The music execs can make any pawn a superstar.
@@jmathis2aug you beat me too it lol
People, please let's start to go to the concerts without phones again. What a performance, what a really life experience it was in past, we should save this vibe
Before they made cell phones waterproof... that crowd was LIVING.
phones were waterproof
@@onlyfacts3178 There's no way you were pulling out your Nokia / Sony / Motorola flip phone in '04 in the pouring rain dude, it would destroy your phone
@@mrsnulch nor was anyone even considering not taking this moment in for some crap quality video on a flip phone
@@JOpalensky Actually in 2004 most phones didn't have video at all. They just had calls, emails, maybe a lousy camera, and a few weird little games like Snake. It wasn't until the iPhone in 2007 when phones started to really become video cameras. In '04 you'd need an actual camera to film something like this, which weren't typically allowed in most venues. So it was just a better time for concerts across the board rain or shine haha.

exactly! How far we've fallen so fast. All the social connection has disconnected us more than ever... how ironic.
I think people were never meant to have the sort of technology that we have now. At least the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s kids knew what it was like to grow up without the stuff. Kids these days it's just there from the start. Sure does create a different kind of people/society
As if by design ... @@alaskayoung3413
My old dog, LOVED this song! He'd just crawl up the to tv or stereo and his ears would turn and just lay down on his belly and listen to it. He was a good lad, thanks for making the song that he listened to for the last time in 10 years as we put him down. Won't mean much to everyone out there. Some idiot talking about his old dog who loved this song and one of the few things that ALWAYS calmed him down after we adopted him. Still brings tears to my eyes thinking about how chill he was with this song! Not this rendition but damn.... Miss the little fella!
that’s adorable I’m really sorry for your loss but that’s amazing you have a song like this to remind you of the good times ❤
To everyone who loses their furry children, it means everthing, and I know how much you're missing your good lad. It's amazing to witness when some dogs and cats respond to music, isn't it?
I love dogs. Thanks for sharing your story
Imagine being John, playing a old classic song of yours that changed your life forever, a song you wrote just before almost giving up on being a songwriter, in the rain for a crowd of thousands of lifelong fans. Over a decade later, people still watch and enjoy this concert.
Magic
in his on town
Alejandro Moro true true
Why did want to give up?
GRIZZLYFIT. Jungle Fitness after the success of his first major hit, “Name”, he got hit with severe writers block that lasted a very long time, and he had begun to give up on being a singer songwriter. He then was asked to write a song for the movie City of Angels, and what he came up with eventually became Iris, and he was so happy to finally have finished a thought. Iris became another big hit, and changed his life forever.
This is a performance straight out of a 90s movie.
Singles, the best damn movie about the 90s ever made. This song wasn't in it but a lot of Seattle bands were.
City of Angels
If they ever made movie about Goo Goo Dolls....this should be the ending!
Been there my friend☺
City of Angels ❤

And the more bittersweet especially since Johnny is one of the last rockers of my generation - Gen Z that are even still alive. We love you

How we all didn't get electrocuted at this show was a miracle!!! I was in the front row in shin deep water! I remember when Jonny came out and played solo in blinding rain!!! I've been to a lot of great shows, but this one will always be one of the greatest concerts I've ever been to, tens of thousands of us, in the hardest rain I've even seen!!!!
Why would you have been electrocuted because of some rain?
@ludwig2345 where we were standing was shin deep water, all of the power supplies for all the electrical equipment was underwater or completely soaked.
@@ludwig2345you know how water is a conductor for electricity? You see how there's a lot of electrical equipment at this concert venue?

Does anyone else get this warm nostalgic feeling with this song... everytime
every fucking time im crying. no matters where ang when i hear it ;d
DNT hold it against me but I heard the song for first time and I am in love
Every fucking time. What a great performance. I remember seeing DMB at Giant Stadium and they were playing Two Step when the rain came down in buckets and bolts of lighting came crashing. The best ever.

I would sell my soul to see this live. Goosebumps EVERY fucking time
I understand your comment was to make plain how impacting the performance was, but I may be the only person to say this to you. Selling your soul, is something many a musician has admitted to doing for fame and fortune. Hopefully you will take serious. your chosen words, and turn to the savior of your soul, Jesus, the son of God. I pray God opens your heart. Be blessed.
@@Truemercy703 i was literally just trying to explain how impacting it was for me. Of course I wouldn’t sell my soul, I’m also a believer. Please do not worry.
One of the greatest but unknown live performances ever. The atmosphere is incredible from the band and the crowd
u hit it on the head, this is the first time seeing this and its one of my favorite songs!
It is more than most people realize. After their lives totally changed, this was return to their hometown, where the community had supported them for years, though they never had a hit. Many in the crowd were family and friends that had supported them throughout the years, in a concert in the middle of Buffalo. The city famous for it's precipitation, became a star in the show.
34 million views, I don't think its unknown anymore
For real, this is incredible!
unknown? this has 35 million views
It's like they hired the rain to make the perfect evening
Or God took a piss on them
The rain made a perfect show 🙏
Paid actors
It's Buffalo, it rains all the time 😄
Back when nobody cared to snap chat or instagram their concert experience and people actually enjoyed. What a time

Cause it means so much to you personally, and yet the next thing you know, you're playing/performing the song over and over and over for people who love it... or either it's just this piece of work that literally means a punch used tonyou and yet millions of people cherish it.
That's who writers are though, and what they do...
i’m 17 now, my mother was 17 at the time of this performance. I’d give anything to have been there, i wasn’t yet thought of, but watching this puts so much joy in my heart.
The rain makes it feel so epic.
Mostafa Ebrahim i was thinking the same, I've watched this a few times today now. Shit is insane.
That's exactly what I thought bro
Yeah, my wife said oh he's even hotter all wet! What the hell!!
it's fake rain
that is pretty damned epic.
*A message to old generation (we will never let this song die, you can rest now).*
from the new generation (we will also never let this song die)
Learn how to spell lol. *Now
@@sj5214 he ain’t spell nothing wrong??
Agreed
@@anitalind4582 am……am I the old generation lmao I’m just 28 😂
Music gives each of us a happy feeling, inspires us, despite all the everyday worries and problems. Thanks for your song.
I can't believe how Epically sick Rock and Roll moment this song in a rain storm is!!!!!! Wow!
don't ask who's watching in 2020, we never stopped.
This song has been in my playlist like forever ❤️

Born 86. Will never stop loving them ❤
When you don’t know how to get likes so you gotta copy an overused comment. Pathetic
Never stopped watching and never will.
Not just the rain, the way he casually pushes the camera round to face the crowd. This is such an epic performance. Imagine how difficult it is to perform on those conditions
What a great time we used to have a music festivals and outdoor concerts back before cell phone cameras started to take over everything. I miss this kinda stuff
This is a masterpiece, I miss those days. Guys life goes fast enjoy every single moment.
When he says “feels like the movies” is great because this feels and looks like it’s from a movie. How awesome it would’ve been to see this live!
I think it's referring to dissociation brought on by some sort for mental strife, be it anxiety or depression or something else. Kinda like being stuck in "zone out" mode, because you're thinking is so inwards that the outside world becomes unimportant.
Perhaps because it IS from a movie! 😂😂
Film not movie
@@thunderfyrekinggaming2243 Are you British?
@@alext2566 why
This song just feels right to be sung in the rain. I've no idea why 💚
Yes it does, it has a divine touch
This song loves the rain. I was once waiting for the late night bus at 2am, all alone the street was empty, it was raining and this song came on from my playlist. It was such an awesome moment, I can't describe. I saw the meaning of life in that moment.
@@petemitchell9996 It may sound wierd but I know what you're taking about. Sometimes I feel there is just a perfect song for every moment. And it just snaps right in place at times.
because the rain will cover the tears :)
@@filuz987 So true !
What made this so special was that everyone there was fully immersed in the performance, no phones. Everyone there creating memories and singing their hearts out. I wish concerts were still like this.
This is why I love being from Buffalo. Magic moments don’t happen often and I was there for that night.. I will never forget. And the cold that followed.
This was perfect ! No phones, no crazy lights. Just the crowd, the Rain and the most iconic performance i have ever witnessed.
Truth, but cell phones had existed for years by the time of this concert, just no iPhones for another couple years. People probably just didn’t want to ruin their phones.
When "Iris" came out, it went viral in its own way. I remember substituting for a second grade class that broke into singing this song while doing an art project. They knew the chorus by heart. Naturally, I was stunned but encouraged them to keep singing. The power of music is truly amazing.
I've seen quite a handful of your comments on my post and I just want to appreciate those people whose wishes me good wishes and encourages me and my team the Goo Goo Doll’s, I hope to bring you so much happiness.
Thank you so much for your love and support, It gives me such great joy to learn that our hard working is paying off and there are a lot of peoples out there that actually love what I do.
Yeah this song was so well known because it's one of the City of Angels ost. That movie was good too.
I think I saw it years ago. The lead singer of the Goo Goo Dolls lives in the same town as the children I subbed for. Odd, I know. If you like female singer-songwriters, check out my original music on CZcams. Thanks, Virgo.
I taught English for over 20 years in public and private schools. I am no ordinary singer-songwriter, my friend. I have a master's degree in creative writing, so I should know the proper usage of "its." Thanks for noticing, though. Please check out my music on CZcams. More tunes are coming soon.
@Little Albert I hear you, LA. It used to be one of mine as well. But my life lately is more about music and less about the English language. Still, my lyrics are grammatically correct as well. LOL! Once in the habit, always in the habit.
I wish people would stop saying who's listening in 2024 I can't get enough of this masterpiece ❤kbr 🌹👑💋♾️📿🔥👰♀💍💎🙏🏼😇✈️💋
Some of the best visuals in rock and roll history! (And thank God no one was electrocuted.)
the band, the "living in the moment" crowd, and the pouring rain --- is there a better moment than that? Solid solid.
Sana all na lang talaga 😭
Gud for u 😁 u dont follow d norm of the millenials nowadays, u know what is real music 😁🤣
@@tuksmolkatin5543 100%! my buddy and I just did a cover of Iris on our channel and I'd love for you to check it out and let me know what you think!! czcams.com/video/f3mu3WvwsPA/video.html
Sana all talaga hahaha
@@rickryan6271 Trueeee po. Kahit hindi ganyan kaperfect, basta maexperience ko lang pangmalakasan at solid na concert ng favorite band ko, solve na talaga.🥺😭💖
@@issa_is_sabishinbou ngl naexperience ko na mag perform ng umuulan, kahit dead crowd nag enjoy parin ako kse minsan lang yan mangyari hahaha anyway, nakakaground yung mic ko then mejo grounded din yung gitara pero tiniis ko parin hahaha life changing pramis, sobrang magical.. gusto kong bumalik hahaha
This is the definition of a rock star. Playing a song over a decade old in the pouring rain to a crowd just screaming the lyrics, not going anywhere
And all of us hear still listening 💕
iris came out in 1998, this was 6 years later
That's love.
Amen
back when pure music no phone recording and just love.
For me, one of the greatest moments in the history of the live music.
Everything about this is just perfect, the song, the crowd, the energy, the rain!!
