Live in Buffalo: July 4th 2004 is the first live performance released by the Goo Goo Dolls. It includes a CD and a DVD, showing their concert in Buffalo, New York from July 4, 2004, which is Independence Day in the United States. The concert included performances of all their major hits, including "Iris", "Name", and "Slide". There are nineteen (19) songs on the DVD total, plus a studio version of their Supertramp cover, "Give A Little Bit" on the CD.

As for the concert itself, the performance was enigmatic; garnering comparisons to Talking Head's Stop Making Sense from members of the band's crew. Over 60,000 fans attended the performance, braving a torrential downpour. That day in July was the worst rainstorm Buffalo had seen in over 20 years.^{[citation needed]} The rain cleared in time for the Goo Goo Dolls to start the show, but during their performance of "January Friend", the rain began pouring down again, harder than before. The band played on, finishing the set, despite being pulled off stage briefly for a safety precaution and skipping three songs* that were on the original set list.
