Today I am sharing with you a very rare and unique live show which took place in 1991 at The Industry, as part of a promotional effort for the Goo Goo Dolls’ 1990’s album titled “Hold Me Up”. To my knowledge, the concert was only streamed via radio. The band performed a total of seven songs.

La Di Da – A Sex Maggot Release
Another very rare audio material, unearthed from the depths on the worldwide web. Today I want to share with you a 3-song cassette sampler titled “La Di Da”, and performed by a band called Sex Maggot. Who were they? They were the Goo Goo Dolls, before they changed their name to the actual one. If I remember correctly, Sex Maggot was later converted into Sex Maggots, a name that was then dropped for Goo Goo Dolls when they released their first album back in 1987.
This cassette was recorded in 1985, and features the original members (John, Robby, and former drummer George Tutuska). In it, we find three songs. The overall recording quality is quite good for its time, I’m surprised to say. The first one is “Sex Maggot“, which ended up being included in their sophomore release “Jed”. The other two might be covers. I am not sure, as I did not recognize them. If you do, please reach out to me so I can give them proper credit.

MTV 120 Minutes short promo for “Superstar Car Wash”
Here is a very rare clip featuring the band doing a short promo video for their album “Superstar Car Wash”. This was shot on February 21st, 1993. They also make a brief introduction to their video for “There You Are“.
This is quite cool and extremely hard-to-find material which I recently discovered on YouTube. Originally posted here. The band cracks a few jokes, and we also get to see former drummer George Tutuska in a not-so-happy mood.
Enjoy it. Download links are also available below.
Superstar Car Wash Instrumental Demos (1992)
As I wrote in the past, there had been several Superstar Car Wash demo sessions which leaked online years ago. One of them featured a tape simply called “Instrumental Demos”. Such release was a 7-song studio take of some of the songs which ended up being included in the final 1993 album. Today I am sharing it with you.

In 2005, a tribute compilation to Les Paul was released, and titled “American Made World Played“. In it, a cover of the famous song “All I Want Is You“, originally performed by the Irish band U2, was included. Such cover was actually performed by Goo Goo Dolls lead singer John Rzeznik.
