Contributor Christina‘s next release is one of the many TV appearances the Goo Goo Dolls recorded for MTV back in 1995, when “Name” was all the rage.
Winter in 1995 was pretty snowy, apparently. John et al. were invited by MTV to perform out in the open, surrounded by the whiteness and cold, their then-latest hit single “Name“. Christina has a few more details to share about it:
This would have been filmed in 1995 in Aspen Colorado, based on this ad.
If you really want to feel disappointed, this is the quality of video available for Oasis’ performance at the same event. Can whoever saved this dig up the Goo video too? Pretty please?
As a chaser to that… here they are in the same location a few years later, in much more watchable quality.
I watched both Christina’s version and the one linked above which is already present on YouTube and couldn’t find any differences between the two. Unfortunately quality is pretty bad with a lot of distortion, so hopefully we will get a better alternative in the future. Still watchable overall, anyhow.
This is a VHS rip coming with the standardized 640x480p encoding format.
