2019-01-26Yeti17:03Goose Kenny's Westside Pub Peoria ILAn early 2019 fan favorite. After a typical rocking Yeti start, band brings it down at the 8 minute mark and finds a gorgeous, repeating theme that they carry into a gentle, blissful finish.
2019-02-15Tumble14:34Goose Octave Covington KYBLISTERING debut is breakneck speed and has a reprise of the chorus to end the song. Slick "Axel F" teases from Rick.
2019-02-15All I Need14:40Goose Octave Covington KYBreaks into an awesome funk jam that leads into "Magic School Bus" teasing. Eventually makes a major pivot soars through a great peak.
2019-02-15Same Old Shenanigans13:14Goose Octave Covington KYDifferent arrangement than we'll see after its 2021 revival, but really cool to peek into an early version of "SOS." Still has that same arena rock peak - except it was played in a tiny club.
2019-04-19Wysteria Lane15:01Goose Down the Road Beer Co. Everett MAUpon departure from song proper, Peter lays down a HEAVY layer of guitar while Rick vamps in major key, giving the otherwise standard jam a really cool feel. Peter then switches to keys as they hit a pleasant space for the remainder.
2019-04-20Drive16:49Goose Acoustic, The Bridgeport CTMight have you thinking you're listening on 1.5x speed. Breakneck pace and explosive first peak leads to some serious shredding from Peter in the second jam.
2019-07-27Arcadia8:55Goose Peach Music Festival Scranton PAMost long-time Goose fans likely have Rick's guitar solo memorized. The PERFECT standard version of this song from a landmark show.
2019-09-06Wysteria Lane18:50Goose Sprout Music Collective West Chester PAGorgeous groove (repeated in 12/6/19 "GB Rap") builds in intensity w/out losing its beauty. Glory peak at 11 ends with Rick returning to earlier groove. Shifts into more rocking style allowing more focus on each member before melting > Indian River.
2019-09-18Creatures18:42Goose Coopers Lake Slippery Rock PAImpossible not to listen to this version without a huge smile on your face. High-spirited, happy and melodic jamming with a fun peak.
2019-10-25All I Need25:16Goose River Street Jazz Cafe Plains PAPrime Grade A Rock & Roll. Phenomenal, collective, patient build-up to an absolutely ferocious frenzy in the 16/17th minute, followed by brilliant jazzy cool down. Must hear jam from must hear 2019 show.
2019-11-10All I Need19:23Goose Broadberry, The Richmond VAMelodic first jam gives way to a cowbell-driven, spacey jam. Trevor and Rick trade counterpoints until Trevor's soaring bass lines propel them to a beautiful peak! Not content, the band digs into a dirty groove to bring it home.
2019-11-15All I Need27:45Goose Summit Music Hall, The Columbus OHMonster AIN w/ multiple amazing movements. Pete opens things with incredible synth work, but Spuds is the real star; driving this monster jam towards a magnificent melodic peak! Some very funky playing from Richk closes this all-timer.
2019-11-16Arcadia22:22Goose Nietzsche's Buffalo NYThe Buffalo Arcadia: An iconic fan favourite. Rick's bright rhythm playing spurs Peter into an uplifting bliss segment early on, which leads to several minutes of sustained soloing. Seemingly ends and then gets revived by the band for another extended run around pure euphoria before returning home. Recommended for a sunny afternoon.
2019-11-16Indian River10:45Goose Nietzsche's Buffalo NYShort, pretty jam that finishes with a wonderful return to the Indian River riff.
2019-11-16Drive30:17Goose Nietzsche's Buffalo NYAfter a fairly standard first jam, second jam picks up in the 11th minute and no one could predict would follow as Goose launches into their longest, most exploratory jam to date (and only 30 min+ jam pre-2022) that caps off an all-time 4-song set.
2019-12-05Lead the Way11:06Goose Aggie Theatre Fort Collins COSerene, watery textures throughout. Perfect early example of patiently building a jam in bliss without needing to glory peak it.
2019-12-05All I Need20:46Goose Aggie Theatre Fort Collins COHigh energy, relentless jam that never lets up and ends in a mammoth shredfest peak.
2019-12-05Tumble7:56Goose Aggie Theatre Fort Collins COTumblefest! Very fun Tumble>Make the Move>Tumble>Cantaloupe Island>Tumble sandwich.
2019-12-06Ghostbusters Rap18:17Goose Cervantes' Other Side Denver COGreat segue out of Drive leads to one of the most unexpected jams of 2019. Jam starts with almost a "Stage Plot" and "Goo" vocal jam, followed by Rick hitting the same beautiful groove found in the 9/6/2019 Wysteria, and ending in magnificent fashion.
2019-12-07Wysteria Lane21:50Goose Old Town Pub & Restaurant Steamboat Springs CONonstop dance party until they step on the gas in the last 5 minutes resulting in a fun, thrilling finish.
2019-12-07All I Need17:23Goose Old Town Pub & Restaurant Steamboat Springs COA twisting “fast Need” with a danceable exploratory initial jam that pivots over a drum break into a more dynamic guitar-led section. As Rick passes the baton to Trevor, they descend into an almost marching section with a syncopated drum line and thumping bassline. Rick finds a new melody that the band quickly backs as a looping hook that naturally summons the composed tail.
2019-12-08Tumble16:54Goose Old Town Pub & Restaurant Steamboat Springs COMight as well call this “Tremble,” with the entirety of the jam built on Trevor’s thumping bass line. After an unusually fast-paced composed head, the two-section improv begins with Rick exploring morphing loops before dropping into a slightly twangy almost southern rock jam.
2019-12-08Time to Flee14:10Goose Old Town Pub & Restaurant Steamboat Springs COEfficient Pete-led 14-minute journey initiated by his vibesy accompaniment as Rick arpeggiates out of the head section. A soaring synth jam that starts bright and clean morphs into a grittier sawtoothy lead section before landing them into a floating full-band jam with sort of “Scarlet”-islandy motif undergirded by rolling drum fills and well-placed Trevor flair. Rick leads out from there with a punchy attack that twists the tropical theme into a short but assertive closing statement.
2019-12-08Drive23:22Goose Old Town Pub & Restaurant Steamboat Springs COMulti-layered creative journey w/ 2 distinct jams. 1st starts with an "IUB"/"I is" vocalization & high energy jam. 2nd jam contains chaotic 2-guitar attack, Creatures-like groove & another shredding peak. Slows down for a landing into Danger Zone.
2019-12-11Elizabeth17:26Goose Bootleg at Atomic Cowboy, The St. Louis MODouble guitar dancefest until jam shifts blissfully with around 4 minutes to go. Jam doesn’t necessarily slow down (if anything Ben pushes) but Peter shifts to keys and jam finds a melodic space to breathe and grow beautifully.
2019-12-12Drive21:11Goose Lincoln Hall Chicago ILAnother great high energy and unwavering 2019 jam. Peaks wonderfully before sliding into Doc Brown.
2019-12-12Creatures19:54Goose Lincoln Hall Chicago ILTypical rocking Creatures jam until 15th minute where we see an early example of how they can devolve it blissfully. Gorgeous Rick soloing and finish.
2019-12-12All I Need15:42Goose Lincoln Hall Chicago ILGreat versatility found in the 2nd jam, where band brings jam up and down (centered around finding Pete a little space to shine on keys). Smooth transition to Electric Avenue.
2019-12-13Arcadia18:27Goose Madison Theater Covington KYSpecial jam that travels to a spacey, beautiful, patient place. Trevor locks into a gorgeous bass line while Pete plays melodic and wistful piano and Rick builds a soaring, heart-wrenching guitar solo. The bass line outros this masterpiece.
2019-12-14Crosseyed & Painless23:18Goose Mousetrap, The Indianapolis INOne of the best openers you will hear. Extended beautiful Reba-like intro jam.
2019-12-14Madhuvan22:59Goose Mousetrap, The Indianapolis INTightly played song proper drops right into into a tension filled, staccato jam. Out of the tension, the band finds a glory-rock chord progression that doesn’t quit. After a glorious peak, a false ending leads to a bonus dark-minor jam.
2020-01-25Hot Tea14:31Goose Music Hall of Williamsburg Brooklyn NYEnjoyable, Secret Agent Man-like groove.
2020-02-15Tumble18:40Goose Regency Ballroom, The San Francisco CAFiery, high energy version with a spectacular, triumphant peak. Definition of a Type 1 heater.

2020-06-19Drive26:11Goose Goose Community Rec Center Redding CTA first jam that stays within bounds but explodes with the power of the sun leads into a second jam where the band members each have to "Take a Lap". Peter steps out early with aggressive guitar riffing as Rick and the drums lock in on each other as the music takes on a runaway freight train vibe. When Spuds finally takes his turn, Jeff picks up the beat out of the fragmented space and crafts an airy, major-key jam. Coach hops on rainstick and Rick adds some vocalizing as it slowly and patiently winds down.
2020-06-19Travelers23:52Goose Goose Community Rec Center Redding CTMystery Ball #1 for Bingo Tour N1 resulted in what might be considered one of their most epic FTP jams ever due to +15 minute jam bingo ball pulled as song ended. Funky groovy start that turns melodic and once Ben picks up the pace, Rick rips one of his patented, god-like shred peaks.
2020-06-19Jam8:17Goose Goose Community Rec Center Redding CTRick on drums, Peter on bass, Jeff on keys, Trevor on guitar, Spuds on percussion. Loads of fun.

2020-06-26Factory Fiction18:58Goose Goose Community Rec Center Redding CTThe king of "Factory Fiction". Rick leads off with filthy envelope filter and delay work. The band then moves through some stop/start play before executing a massive build to a scorching peak.
2020-06-27Hot Tea14:06Goose Goose Community Rec Center Redding CTInteresting Rick from the beginning, lots of whammy octave-up usage. Phenomenal -> to "Creatures".
2020-06-27Creatures18:35Goose Goose Community Rec Center Redding CT-> in from "Hot Tea". Peppy version that hits nice two-chord jam on the outro before seamlessly returning to "Tea".

2020-09-16Madhuvan21:11Goose South Farms Morris CTTwo main segments to this monster. Rick initially crafts a soaring hose motif as he and Peter really lock in on the dual guitars. As the first peak fades away, we are treated to a flamethrower of a ripping jam, going around for more and more builds before finally screaming into the finish. Winner of JOTY 2020.
2020-09-17Rosewood Heart22:00Goose South Farms Morris CTThe legendary HOSEWOOD. Must-hear.

2020-10-02Creatures24:16Goose Higher Ground Drive-In at the Essex Junction Exposition Center Essex Junction VTGrippo adds beautifully to the Type I section of the jam. Out of the space, Spuds kicks into a funk groove and the band dives headfirst into a space highly reminiscent of Herbie Hancock. Rick and Grippo trade licks off each other like old friends while Peter saws away at grimy rhythm guitar. Builds in this zone for a while and is a must-hear piece of improv.
2020-10-02Hot Tea16:05Goose Higher Ground Drive-In at the Essex Junction Exposition Center Essex Junction VTThe big Grippo finale. *chef's kiss*

2021-05-03Arrow23:53Goose Frederick Fairgrounds Frederick MDFirst really exploratory jam of 2021 and it hints at the development of the "Ted" motif that will be come prevalent throughout the year. Back half is some great dual-guitar funk that eventually bleeds into an explosive "Bob Don."

2021-05-04Creatures24:37Goose Frederick Fairgrounds Frederick MDFirst "Creatures" jam ever with Peter on keys and he more than delivers. Steps up on Vintage Vibe and grooves along until Rick takes over in what will be the new standard jam for the song. Jam dissolves into rhythm-section-driven Ted space at the back end before landing smoothly in a perfectly-placed "Your Ocean." Absolute must-hear and a pivotal moment for the evolution of Goose jams.
2021-05-04Tumble18:43Goose Frederick Fairgrounds Frederick MDWhile the set opening "Creatures" showcases the band's newer jamming style, this Tumble revisits their tried-and-true groove/peak method. Amazing version.

Starts with a Ted space and gradually moves through many different themes, both beautiful and rocking. Peaks MASSIVELY and - without missing a beat or even taking a moment to bask in the glory - segues -> to an equally good (if not better) "Echo of a Rose." Winner of JOTY 2021.

2021-11-07Drive16:44Goose Eastern, The Atlanta GAEschews the first jam and goes right into the driving second after the "whoa" section. Immedate and FURIOUS dual-guitar attack. Peter goes ham on envelope filter early on before Rick takes control and shreds.
2021-11-07The Old Man's Boat19:16Goose Eastern, The Atlanta GATypical groove fest that settles down before incredible interplay between Rick and Peter.

2021-11-10Wysteria Lane25:00Goose House of Blues Houston TXLaid-back guitar churn for the first half makes a major modulation along with Peter's switch to Vibe. A pleasant and driving motif emerges thanks to propulsive drumming from Spuds and Jeff for the final minutes as Peter leads the way.

2021-11-16Time to Flee29:57Goose Tower Theatre Oklahoma City OK30-minute version stays relatively close to home until around 19 minutes, when it shifts to a bright and major key. This vibe gradually picks up steam before peaking again and transitioning > to "Caution".

2021-11-22Arrow23:20Goose Mission Ballroom, The Denver COShow opener for a fan favorite show, jam starts in earnest at the 10:30 mark and stays within a pretty standard rocking tempo throughout. Ripping final peak and cool final minute cooldown into "Travelers."
2021-11-22Arcadia19:37Goose Mission Ballroom, The Denver COThe Mission Arcadia: After funky start, band collectively builds into one of Goose’s most blissful & beautiful jams ever.

2021-11-22This Old Sea19:01Goose Mission Ballroom, The Denver COMelodic, funky, energy building that transitions into "Drive." Longest "Sea" to date and another crowd pleaser from a great couple of shows from the Mission.
2021-11-22Factory Fiction18:11Goose Mission Ballroom, The Denver COFitting encore for the final show in an incredible Fall ‘21 tour. Riffing around the FF song at start of jam, then dark "Crazy Train" CCP style jamming before bringing the tour home in an enthusiastic fashion.
2021-12-30Time to Flee18:53Goose Riviera Theatre Chicago ILSoak in this Flee as a peaceful gentleness settles in to start. Gorgeous keys by Peter and Rick mimics the style.

2022-01-26Tumble23:41Goose Marquee Theatre Tempe AZTour de force by Pete and Trevor. They seamlessly lead the band from funk, to space rock, to an ultimately glorious resolution. Ben and Jeff really kick it in and for the last 7 min it’s an all out disco-funk party. Melts into evil dissonant space.

2022-01-30Wysteria Lane18:26Goose Regency Ballroom, The San Francisco CAMelodic soaring jam gives way to synthy darkness/heavy metal thrashing (begins ~10:45).

2022-02-02Madhuvan23:05Goose Midtown Ballroom Bend ORThe band shows remarkable restraint and patience and really take their time developing the themes and reaching the peak.

2022-02-03Echo of a Rose20:21Goose Wonder Ballroom Portland ORShow opens with Echo but comes back to it a 2nd time. 2nd Echo starts with glory rock and then synthy haunting bring down at 10 minutes, similar to 3/4 Pancakes though more extended & then with an incredibly cool & patient march to finish.
2022-02-03Rosewood Heart22:15Goose Wonder Ballroom Portland ORRipping early peak followed by lovely melodic repeating dancing groove. Last 4 minutes find a quick slowdown and shift to more traditional rocking finish.

2022-02-07All I Need26:03Goose ELM, The Bozeman MTHarkens back to the big 2019 versions with 2022 maturity. Short but beautifully melodic first jam, ripping dancefest to start second jam that almost comes to a complete halt before gradually building back up to a gorgeous groove and -> to "Doc Brown".
2022-02-07Elizabeth10:48Goose ELM, The Bozeman MT2022 Elizabeth clav funk that rocks on and slides -> perfectly into "Moby".

2022-02-07This Old Sea20:40Goose ELM, The Bozeman MTStarts with bliss mode but shifts gears around 11:00.

Evil arrives and the band pounds away at a roaring wave of a peak before closing with bliss.

2022-02-09Spirit Of The Dark Horse21:52Goose First Avenue Minneapolis MNCool arrangement only played twice in Winter 2022. Gets into a great spacey jam.

2022-02-10Rosewood Heart27:40Goose Sylvee, The Madison WIWide open 2nd jam noodles pensively but prettily for about 10 mins before Pete and Trevor elevate a big rave up conclusion.
2022-02-10Arrow27:00Goose Sylvee, The Madison WI27 min multi-part monster Arrow. Tweekz/Spuds-led space groove vibe -> Peter wah guitar party over a steady rhythmic gallop -> brief foray into dark jamming -> unique/pretty minor key peak.
2022-02-10Arcadia19:04Goose Sylvee, The Madison WITrevor leads off with a stanky slap solo. Really simmers and churns below the surface as the nastiness and tension build to a frenzied peak. Really strong version.
2022-02-11Indian River18:10Goose Old Forester's Paristown Hall Louisville KYDelta jam bounces along to a great peak before Rick pops a string and Peter leads the rest of the band into a spooky and haunting motif that acts as the intro to "Dr. Darkness".
2022-02-11Pancakes20:13Goose Old Forester's Paristown Hall Louisville KYUnique version of Pancakes that finds a much more gentle, restrained jam mid-way, before catching an energetic wave with 5 minutes to go in a rousing finish.
2022-02-11Hot Tea20:57Goose Old Forester's Paristown Hall Louisville KYNasty and crunchy.
2022-02-11A Western Sun17:11Goose Old Forester's Paristown Hall Louisville KYMajor-key happiness.
2022-02-12Red Bird23:16Goose Stage AE Pittsburgh PAThat thunder Seger was waiting on has finally arrived and it is Tweekz. Out of the ashes of this foundation shaking polyrhythmic cacophony emerges your new avian overlord, a screaming terrible phoenix sent to punish us all, the mighty Pittsbird.
2022-02-12Tumble16:20Goose Stage AE Pittsburgh PAMolten hot lava jam.
2022-02-26Hungersite15:49Goose Mohegan Sun Arena Uncasville CTAt the time of its debut, nobody had heard "Hungersite" before and it immediately establishes itself as a jam vehicle. Great rocking motif before the segue into the live debut of "Dripfield".
2022-02-26Dripfield19:22Goose Mohegan Sun Arena Uncasville CTAll about the drums. Debut version stays within the song but MAN is it good.
2022-03-01Drive21:41Goose 9:30 Club Washington DCSeems to be heading in a fairly standard direction but a subtle shift leads the band into dark territory. Peter lays down some low textures on Vibe as Rick shreds the minor-key. Explosive ending and return to song proper.
2022-03-01Wysteria Lane24:38Goose 9:30 Club Washington DCJam begins by hitting into a "Dripfield"-like theme that throws us into driving darkness. Space is whipped up as the motif reaches its apex. We come down on the other side with a classic rock-feeling jam that just grooves and rages to the end.
2022-03-01Pancakes21:15Goose 9:30 Club Washington DCAs if 3/1's second set wasn't good enough already, the band drops a 20-minute "Pancakes" to close it out. Hard-charging and funky, this doesn't hit much new territory but is just such an excellent groove. Rick closes it out with perfectly placed "I Wish" teases.
2022-03-02Indian River18:24Goose 9:30 Club Washington DCThe band is in no hurry and really explores every inch of the Delta motif before descending into evil space, setting up "Dr. Darkness".
2022-03-02All I Need19:09Goose 9:30 Club Washington DCTypically blissful first jam opts to go dark instead. Twisted riffs from Rick bring it to a boil before crashing into the final chorus. Short second jam sees Peter taking lead on organ before an almost three-minute slow-burn segue -> to "Arrow".
2022-03-03Creatures23:44Goose Fillmore, The Charlotte NCPeter steps out first on Vintage Vibe and then clav at the beginning of the jam. Post-peak, it downshifts into a mellow groove that eventually -> to "Pumped Up Kicks".
2022-03-03Elizabeth16:04Goose Fillmore, The Charlotte NCStank-face-inducing funk.
2022-03-03Slow Ready19:05Goose Fillmore, The Charlotte NCPeter extends the arpeggiator and the band settles into a fantastic and psychedelic groove that sits for a while before Rick initiates a patient and perfect -> to "Hot Tea".
2022-03-03Hot Tea18:39Goose Fillmore, The Charlotte NC-> in from a super-extended "Slow Ready". Peter turns the arpeggiator back on during the "Tea" jam for a really unique take that also includes a nice tease of the Ted Tape track "Europa" from Rick. Well worth a listen.
2022-03-04Pancakes26:28Goose Brooklyn Bowl Nashville TNExperimental adventurous inter-dimensional. Rocking initial jam leads to devastating & incredible haunting section at ~14:00. Trev powers them out of it & they begin climb to the top of Rock & Roll mountain. Epic peak & perfect return to song ending.
2022-03-04Rockdale24:11Goose Brooklyn Bowl Nashville TNThis sludge-y riff rock monster of a Rockdale is the first truly extended venture for the song and features elements of That's All (Genesis), Peter absolutely wailing on clav & vibes, and a Dragonfly-esque progression to bring it all home.
2022-03-05Echo of a Rose21:16Goose Brooklyn Bowl Nashville TNMelts into nothingness before before building back into seemingly everything in a spectacular white-knuckle peak then gorgeously -> "Rosewood Heart".
2022-03-05Rosewood Heart21:03Goose Brooklyn Bowl Nashville TNThis first jam peaks so insanely hard, Rick is in full god mode. Excellent second jam akin to "speed jazz" circa Summer '93 Phish and -> "Echo of a Rose" ending.
2022-03-05Arcadia19:10Goose Brooklyn Bowl Nashville TNTrevor leads the band into a jam that's almost like Phish's "Wolfman's Brother".
2022-03-05Red Bird20:38Goose Brooklyn Bowl Nashville TNJuly 1999. Jetta Factory. Guangzhou, CN. In a syncopated rhythmic dance the Furbys whir & clink down the assembly line. A sudden burst of deafening light incinerates workers as the Phoenix apparates, providing a new directive. Tiger Electronics source code overwritten w/ dark sentience. Beaks accented w/ razor blades. Eyes w/ lasers. Fur w/ mecha scales. Wings snap into place. With cries of mangled Furbish, the nightmare creatures swarm like bats through the window above to carry out their terrible mission.
2022-03-07Time to Flee20:31Goose Mill & Mine, The Knoxville TNMelodic major key goodness through. Similar feel and vibes as the Mission Arcadia (perhaps highlighted by Peter’s keys), with uplifting beautiful finish.
2022-03-07Wysteria Lane18:51Goose Mill & Mine, The Knoxville TNThe younger sibling of 1/30 and 3/1. Hits on dark themes but doesn't explore them to the same extent as the other two Winter 2022 behemoth "Wysteria".
2022-03-09Madhuvan20:07Goose Royal Oak Music Theatre Royal Oak MIPeter plays with the reverb on the organ early on in the jam for a haunting vibe.
2022-03-09Yeti12:57Goose Royal Oak Music Theatre Royal Oak MIExtended and funky groove. No one band member is really soloing, which lends a unique and cool quality to it.
2022-03-10Tumble27:33Goose Agora Theater Cleveland OHLong show-opening version explores some interesting themes. Peter adds some incredible textures including some "Creatures" teases. Smooth -> to "Writing a Novel".
2022-03-10Rockdale24:49Goose Agora Theater Cleveland OHJam flows magically with so much purpose, from methodical funk to beautiful blissful bring down to glorious climbing march to experimenting with darkness to rocking finish. Great improv with diverse jamming themes.
2022-03-10Into the Myst14:44Goose Agora Theater Cleveland OHDisco dance party. Unfinished.
2022-03-10The Old Man's Boat16:36Goose Agora Theater Cleveland OHThe usual Vibe jam gets funkier. Peter hits the clav and the band blasts their way perfectly -> into a huge "Use Me" bustout.
2022-03-10Dripfield24:22Goose Agora Theater Cleveland OHStandard "Drip" jam at first gives way to a fast-paced "Shama"-like bliss jam. Excellent high-octane peak before finishing the song.
2022-03-12All I Need23:46Goose Fillmore, The Philadelphia PARelentless and long first jam seamlessly transitions between major and minor key. Short second jam sees Peter doing some sparse organ leading before landing in "California Magic".
2022-03-12Hungersite19:26Goose Fillmore, The Philadelphia PAUltra-funky molasses jamming. Trevor puts on a clinic concocting murderous bass lines while Rick lets his inner SRV come out to play, absolutely scorching blues soloing.
2022-03-12This Old Sea17:33Goose Fillmore, The Philadelphia PATypically beautiful "Sea" jam fragments into intense, evil noises, making you grab your blanket for dear life as Peter cackles among looping marimba arpeggiators, Rick effects, and other general madness. Would be right at home as a "Dr. D" intro but resolves instead into a fantastic "Factory Fiction" set closer.
2022-04-29Jive Lee13:42Goose Salvage Station Asheville NCClassic > from "Jive I." Jam immediately takes a darker turn behind Peter’s Nord synth and settles into a vibey groove. Unique version.
2022-04-29Red Bird21:02Goose Salvage Station Asheville NCOn this Bird's lucky voyage #7 we become hypnotized by cyclical dizzying flight patterns while a menacing undercurrent of fuzzed out Fuck Buttons-esque synth washes and coordinated sonic booms slowly cracks open a glowing fissure in the Earth, the triumphant cries of the Ashebird grow ever murderous and it goes in for the kill, ripping our face clean off our head and sending us plummeting to our molten doom.
2022-04-30The Empress Of Organos13:52Goose Sweetwater 420 Festival Atlanta GAThe name of the game is efficiency. Trevor plows forward into the minor key out of his solo and the drummers develop a deep pocket. Peter hits the clav and Rick hangs back for a while to let him rip before taking the reins himself. Goes straight for the jugular and doesn't let up for a second.
2022-05-27Madhuvan19:43Goose Westville Music Bowl New Haven CTAfter standard rocking, band brings jam down with six minutes to go and proceeds to build up melodically and magically.
2022-06-06Indian River19:24Goose Champlain Valley Exposition Essex Junction VTPokes and prods at the edges of the "Delta" jam before finally breaking into a warm major-key motif that winds up back in the Indie-Groove "Atlas Dogs" progression. Great early summer evening jam.
2022-06-06Wysteria Lane25:56Goose Champlain Valley Exposition Essex Junction VTGrooving jam until switch to 2-guitars & there is a melodic march up to a lovely peak. Spacey synthy outro jam turns into 2nd jam with funk-filled finish. Listen for the genesis of the "Thatch" opening lick five months before the song's debut.
2022-06-08Jive Lee14:47Goose Artpark Lewiston NYBeautiful soaring majestic finish to another strong version of "Lee" in 2022.
2022-06-08Madhuvan22:44Goose Artpark Lewiston NYOften overlooked because of the all-time Raleigh version a week later, don’t sleep on this version. Flowing, rich, layered. Beautiful mid-jam cooldown as Rick patiently picks the perfect time to rise from it and solo beautifully.
2022-06-08Hungersite16:54Goose Artpark Lewiston NYBuilds up an impressive head of steam with aggressive Nord work from Peter before cooling and smoothly transitioning -> to "Into the Myst."
2022-06-10Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo17:47Goose Legend Valley Thornville OHPeter hits the keys early on in this standout "Half Step," working the Vintage Vibe and Nord synth to create a spacey vibe that the band feeds off of.
2022-06-10Creatures24:48Goose Legend Valley Thornville OH6 minutes of heaven. After a great opening rocking jam, at 18:47 Peter finds a gorgeous 4-note theme that the band latches onto and builds around in the most chilling and awe-inspiring way. One of the most beautiful sections of any Goose jam ever.
2022-06-10All I Need34:27Goose Legend Valley Thornville OHThis truly elite “All I Need” is dark Goose jamming at its finest. Trevor-forward full band interplay with Spuds mimicking a violent half-speed thrash metal death march creates space for Rick to swirl brain-breaking minor-key runs over a bed of extra-terrestrial synths. If aliens ever attack, they’ll come blaring a six-minute loop of this jam on repeat from their flying saucer Alpines. The accidental second jam features some fine clav-work from Peter and an extended moody intro to “Nights in White Satin”.
2022-06-11Animal20:31Goose Legend Valley Thornville OHDebut includes almost three minutes of synth intro from Peter and a long and groovy jam that stays within the typical groove.
2022-06-11Rockdale15:29Goose Legend Valley Thornville OHAbsolutely crushing encore version to close out Legend Valley takes a turn for the bombastic with a "Factory Fiction" ending jam in place of the usual "Rockdale" peak.
2022-06-15Madhuvan28:20Goose Red Hat Amphitheater Raleigh NCMulti-section masterpiece taking a journey through time & space. After breakdown/opening jam, band builds up to evil psychotic heavy metal shredding. Pete then switches to keys, Jeff adds chimes & Rick performs one of his most beautiful solos ever. Winner of JOTY 2022.
2022-06-15Drive21:12Goose Red Hat Amphitheater Raleigh NCThe song's 2022 evolution really begins here as the band opts to jam out of Rick's solo section. Great keys work from Peter eventually morphs into a layered motif with excellent use of space by Peter on organ while Rick unleashes some dark-ish soloing. Under-the-radar yet excellent jam.
2022-06-25Hungersite19:33Goose Radio City Music Hall New York NYThe riff that forever changed the future of Rock & Roll. Goose’s incredible first song/jam ft Trey Anastasio w/ beautiful double guitar intro & Trey hits THAT MOMENT. Great repeating hook at end that allows Trey to shred the final jam peak.
2022-06-25Arcadia17:23Goose Radio City Music Hall New York NYThe Original Artreydia. Lovely guitar interplay & Trey song phrasing shifts to blissful magic as Peter switches to piano. Free-like riffing leads to Trey nailing the peak & handing the torch to Rick to close it out. Euphoric moment in Goose history.
2022-06-25The Empress Of Organos18:14Goose Radio City Music Hall New York NYRick and Trey once again shine with their immediate guitar chemistry, harmonizing lick after lick and closing out the historic sit-in set with a boom.
2022-06-30The Empress Of Organos21:19Goose High Sierra Music Festival Quincy CAPeter expertly controls the mood on this festival highlight encore, moving the jam sections along from clav, to vibraphone/piano, to an unconventional and experimental arpeggiator transition into the ending breakdown.
2022-07-02Arrow28:58Goose Peach Music Festival Scranton PAStrong dual guitar attacking jam changes dramatically and beautifully as Pete shifts to synth effects around 18:45, creating a space groove and allowing Trevor and Ben to shine. Pete goes to keys a few minutes later as band builds up to a rocking finish.
2022-07-02Tumble16:43Goose Peach Music Festival Scranton PAWent Gin-like Magic. One of the happiest jams you’ll hear emerges in the last 6 minutes. Rick finds a gorgeous hook and band builds until they find collective joyful hose.
2022-08-12My Generation17:45Goose Chrysalis Columbia MDDouble guitar rock with energetic, ripping initial 11 minutes. Jam then begins to get weird and devolve into dark space. Manic alien-style effects develop and haunting synths surround a slow, patient march to the finish.
2022-08-12All I Need34:42Goose Chrysalis Columbia MD36 min monster throws down. Very short first jam (ends at 9:15) leads to their longest second jam ever. Very patient jams with short melodic sections intertwined with spacey synths. Jam never quite reaches heights of other AINs but quite the journey.
2022-08-13Earthling or Alien?24:08Goose Chrysalis Columbia MDHauntingly beautiful jam finds potential trouble as Rick breaks a string (16:45ish). Instead Peter synths & Trevor bass fill the void powerfully allowing Rick to rejoin (18:30) transforming the jam into a slow, evil abduction of the Chrysalis crowd.
2022-08-16A Western Sun17:31Goose Dillon Amphitheatre Dillon COLast 5 minutes are spectacular, arena-ready rocking. They catch a lightning in a bottle theme here and jam the hell out of it to a ripping, frenzied peak.
2022-08-17Borne26:55Goose Dillon Amphitheatre Dillon COGorgeous early jam followed by groovy dance-funk. Right before 13 mins, band slows groove & locks in patiently. Tumble tease @ 17:40 creates driving jam leading to collective repeating theme. Band eggs on crowd Woos & melts jam away.
2022-08-17Wysteria Lane20:47Goose Dillon Amphitheatre Dillon COAbsolute perfect 2-guitar goose with both guitarists feeling it and toggling seamlessly between dark, penetrating and celebratory, frolicking jams and back again! It was a special jam where the crowd could sense greatness the moment they veered away from the song!

2022-09-29Rosewood Heart23:30Goose National, The Richmond VAPercussion-driven glory seems to end after a soaring peak in the 14th minute only to rise from the ashes blissfully. Magical tear-jerking beauty with some of Trevor and Rick's most beautiful playing ends the jam.
2022-09-30Can't Get You Out Of My Head14:10Goose National, The Richmond VAKylie in s2 closer slot does what you might expect. Dark house music builds in intensity as Ben increases the pace. Dissolves into another deep synth wash across encore break and -> "Hot Tea".
2022-10-01Arcadia12:36Goose Pullman Yards Atlanta GARagecadia. Very atypical version where Ben goes double time with around 5 minutes to go and band takes off at blistering pace. No build up, no bliss, no slow ending. Just pure raging fire.

2022-11-11Drive16:21Goose Tsongas Center Lowell MABriskly tempo'd jam sets off with purpose and has some great layering of textures by Peter. Floats perfectly into the intro to "Echo."

2022-11-12Fish In The Sea11:07Goose Mohegan Sun Arena Uncasville CTTAB horns (Jen Hartswick, Natalie Cressman, James Casey) join in on a version that Peter mentions they always wished they could play with horns.

2022-11-13Madhuvan19:43Goose Cool Insuring Arena Glens Falls NYPeter begins the jam with searing synth textures from his Nord Lead before switching to Vibe as a more melodic theme takes shape. The band fully explores this before bringing it home with a typically raging ending.

2022-11-18Madhuvan21:10Goose War Memorial Arena Syracuse NYThe "Madhuvanastasio." Peter initiates a descending "Mind Left Body"-like progression on marimba piano as Rick and Trey dance around each other's melodies.

2022-12-16Pancakes16:42Goose 1STBANK Center Broomfield COFollowing a similar theme to 3/1/22's rager, Peter really shines on piano in this explosive version. Rick swaggers on some extra sustain at the end.
2022-12-16Wysteria Lane22:58Goose 1STBANK Center Broomfield COAiry groove develops early on when Peter makes the switch to keys. Trevor initiates a catchy hook and the band follows, developing the motif in an incredibly patient way. Jam pivots when Peter pulls the "Audience Group Hug" ball and Rick tears through a euphoric peak atop a wave of synthesizer. Fades into the perfect landing pad in "Moby."
2022-12-16Rockdale16:06Goose 1STBANK Center Broomfield COPeter turns off the wah on the clav to add some extra grime as he leads Rick into heavy "Crazy Train" teasing - Rick then responds in kind by revving the jam up into high gear and hitting a phenomenal peak to close out the incredible set.
2022-12-17Time to Flee22:52Goose 1STBANK Center Broomfield COXL Flee jam moves into some very funky territory, with lots of percussive piano, wah-guitar, then screaming overdriven blues soloing, at points sounds like it could be -> "Thatch" but instead find it's way back to the triumphant Flee ending.

2022-12-18Earthling or Alien?20:20Goose Fox Theatre, The Boulder COGoosemas funk is brought in early with Peter shifting across all his toys and Trevor reacting brilliantly. After Rick comes in and shreds slightly, jam slows down into a happier piano-driven blissful finish.
2022-12-18Crosseyed & Painless20:20Goose Fox Theatre, The Boulder COVery short yet beautiful intro jam. Axel Foley teases and shredding, fist-pumping dancefest that slows down slightly with Peter throwing everything at the jam (marimba, synths, keys) and Trevor’s bass driving jam forward.
2022-12-30Into the Myst16:09Goose Andrew J Brady Music Center Cincinnati OHThis jam is a groove. Propelled early by Trevor, the majority of this jam is a mellow, calming vibe before it very sneakily increases tempo and intensity leading to a joyous conclusion.
2022-12-30Arcadia22:56Goose Andrew J Brady Music Center Cincinnati OHGorgeous almost 6-minute intro with beautiful Peter vibraphone before the song starts. With a full-on Heartbreaker jam.

2023-03-08Jam7:05Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYAtypical arpeggiator starts off the first headlining performance of 2023. The band vibes and gets loose within the confines of the groove before finishing "Electric Avenue" from Okeechobee.
2023-03-08All I Need20:54Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYRight out of the gate, the band dives into some Winter '22-style dark jamming. Peter goes to a haunting upright piano tone as he and Rick lock in. Spuds shoots the improv into a swirling vortex that transitions cleanly into some bluesy rock at Rick's urging.

2023-03-08Wysteria Lane17:50Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYFiery Type 1 jam breaks at 12:16 into open plane of space highlighted by Trevor Bass.

2023-03-08Drive28:38Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYAll-time first jam that starts off with fiery Rick shredding and melts into one of the most beautiful sections of patient, double-guitar bliss you will hear. Second jam contains a funk party that ends with Loose Ends jamming.
2023-03-09Rockdale17:05Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYDark, eerie jamming (almost but not quite Crazy Train) that begins to speed up relentlessly, quiets down before the close and then returns to Rockdale out of a tension-filled frenzy.
2023-03-09Tumble24:24Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYDouble guitar funk, effect-filled start that takes a melodic turn as Pete switches to keys. Very cool ending as Rick finds a repeating theme he toys around as the rest of the band builds around him.
2023-03-09Rosewood Heart16:30Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYPercussive and taut jamming around the Rosewood theme leads to a hypnotic jamming segment on the backhalf when the rythm section hooks up with Rick & Peter channeling Neu! & Kraftwerk.

2023-03-10Thatch16:00Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYFirst version of the 2023 touring season shows the potential and the spaces it will reach in the coming weeks; more extended than late 2022 but not quite there yet.
2023-03-10Creatures19:31Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYStandard until the last few minutes where the jam breaks into a serene and beautiful soundscape. Nice sly "Star Wars" tease from Peter.
2023-03-10In Your Eyes16:21Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYBegins in a percussive and funky zone with great Trevor but Rick takes it into some more evil zones. Everyone locks in under his heavy shredding on a series of great builds before Spuds picks up the pace and a glorious peak is achieved.

2023-03-11Hungersite19:16Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYPeter leads the way into a blissy progression in a heated initial jam section. Breaks into dark, sparse funk with nasty, nasty clav and then an ascending and powerful riff. Serious growl and mojo to this ending with Trevor going absolutely wild.
2023-03-11Arcadia19:40Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYExtended Trevor solo kicks off jam & finds a beautiful theme that is quickly picked up/repeated by Rick/Peter in gorgeous interplay. After Pete solo & return to Trevor’s theme, Ben goes 2X time as band soars through multiple peaks & explosive finish.
2023-03-12Time to Flee15:49Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYDid this kick off the show of 2023, or does it just make you think it does? No matter, the energy, propulsiveness, and endless riffing from Rick leads to a well-earned peak, which spills over at 13:28 to a late-night percussive jam. No let-up on Night 5!
2023-03-12Butter Rum22:03Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYRipping start begins to transform and almost transition into a full "Can't Get You Outta My Head" jam before returning to a beautiful high energy "Rum" finish.

2023-03-23Earthling or Alien?25:45Goose Roadrunner Boston MAAnother exploration journey hitting many of the same themes we saw from the August 22 versions (funk, some darkness/tension) yet does not go as far out.
2023-03-23Red Bird15:32Goose Roadrunner Boston MAThe sun beats down as the galleon plods rhythmically through the gentle open ocean. An alarm cry from the crows nest. The quiet sea begins to boil as the terrible mecha phoenix of the Enemy rises from the water and into the sky. Cries of terror and resignation as the creature bursts aflame and slams its wings into the hull in a furious rage, capsizing and igniting the vessel as the horribly blackened crew all sink lifelessly to their demise.
2023-03-24Rockdale20:11Goose Met, The Philadelphia PAShow-opening version makes the 2023 "Rockdale" double-time pivot and hits a series of great peaks before returning home. The beginning of the song's jamming resurgence.
2023-03-24Echo of a Rose28:26Goose Met, The Philadelphia PAEpitome of patient style found in early 2023. Slowly yet relentlessly building, band finds themselves in dark frenzy. Just when you think it has hit its climax, they find another gear & an absolutely devastatingly thrilling peak. Winner of JOTY 2023.
2023-03-25Borne29:20Goose Met, The Philadelphia PASome accuse this jam of being too slow, but it's a testament to Goose 2023 that they were able to find the space in the back half of this near-30min exploration, and just linger there in conversation. Absolutely gorgeous textures from Peter.
2023-03-25Dripfield20:36Goose Met, The Philadelphia PAFirst "Drip" to fully break into open-ended jamming. Displaying dexterity of the song, the band explores rawk-ish groove before drifting into a fully-connected hypnotic space. Bringing things home with a stunning peak, the jam resolves spectacularly.
2023-03-26All I Need24:44Goose Agora Theater Cleveland OHRocking first jam and despite not fully returning to the song, kicks off a second jam that will go down in bliss history. Another example of beautiful, gorgeous, patient jamming that ends in majestic hose.

2023-03-28Slow Ready19:57Goose Georgia Theatre Athens GAFor the first time in 2023, they extend the outro of "Slow Ready." Settling on a laid-back motif akin to "Eminence Front," Vintage Vibe dominates the jam for a really solid and danceable section.
2023-03-30Indian River17:30Goose Ryman Auditorium Nashville TNA fun and bouncy arpeggiator jam in place of a Delta-esque jam makes for a unique outing and serves as a turning point in the energy of this show.
2023-03-30Rockdale19:02Goose Ryman Auditorium Nashville TNGrungier jam gains momentum steadily and leads to energetic yet powerfully soulful crescendo into hose.
2023-03-30Wysteria Lane27:57Goose Ryman Auditorium Nashville TNWhat’s better than a gorgeous patient Eminence Front-like building peak? How about a brilliant cooldown only to build up to a raging, frenetic second peak!

2023-04-01Jive Lee7:59Goose Ryman Auditorium Nashville TNFans of the Bingo Tour "Rotation Jam" should seek this out for fun instrument-swapping (and fans of this "Lee" should check out its 6/19/20 counterpart).

2023-04-01Thatch15:08Goose Ryman Auditorium Nashville TNNo jam makes a bigger case that 2023 is the Year of Big T like this one. Aggressive bass thumping leads to an epic Trevor solo and funk-strutting, blazing finish.
2023-04-01Madhuvan28:10Goose Ryman Auditorium Nashville TNDark synthy ambience > magical watery bliss > melodic soaring (very similar to 3/10/22 "Rockdale") > raging "Madhuvan" finish. Fantastic improv journey.
2023-04-01Red Bird19:11Goose Ryman Auditorium Nashville TNOverly tipsy on moonshine after the Stevie Wonder show, our feathered hero stumbles into the local honky tonk joint. Unexpectedly finding himself in the midst of a racous barroom brawl, he puts his drunken Kung Fu skills to work and deftly ties up some loose ends.
2023-04-13Borne26:53Goose Sylvee, The Madison WIThe third "Double time version" sees the jam quickly slow down into murky, hypnotic, watery space courtesy of Trevor and copious amounts of delay. Multiple sessions of whale calls, and a fiery screaming guitar solo over a full band groove, round out this must hear "Borne."
2023-04-13Wysteria Lane20:49Goose Sylvee, The Madison WIExcellent listening / subtleness w/ combination of melodic, grunginess & darkness, as Peter shifts sounds w/ various effects on guitar and keys. Trevor, Ben & Jeff also active as Rick hangs back in support until 16th minute driving a ripping peak.
2023-04-13Indian River27:22Goose Sylvee, The Madison WIGorgeous Pete soloing out of Delta as jam stays type 1 until it slowly begins to transform into experimental chaos and darkness. Finishes with synthy funk and stop/start jamming.
2023-04-14Hungersite32:33Goose Salt Shed, The Chicago ILAbsolute ripper until 18 minutes in when band settles into funky, synthy slow jam followed by a gorgeous blissy cooldown, and finally ending majestically and triumphantly by building back into a soaring melodic peak. Brilliant improv journey.
2023-04-15Echo of a Rose16:28Goose Salt Shed, The Chicago ILTypical "Echo" jam follows a more concise version of its counterpart from Philly, slowly and deliberately building momentum until a boiling and fiery peak is reached. Cools and -> to an incredible "Inside Out."
2023-04-15Inside Out15:52Goose Salt Shed, The Chicago ILTaking this Spoon cover for a ride, band goes through a gradual, triumphant climb then settling down into a patient groove that transitions to "Silver Rising."
2023-04-15Pancakes19:50Goose Salt Shed, The Chicago ILAfter some "25 or 6 to 4" teasing by Trevor, jam begins to gain momentum until it becomes a raging runaway steam train. One of the most outrageous build and peaks you will hear from Goose.
2023-04-16Tumble25:33Goose Palace Theatre St. Paul MNSecond vibey "Tumble" of the spring has a now well-practiced transition to the regular jam. While it's long, it doesn't do a whole lot until a break for funkier play that transitions nicely -> to "Loose Ends."
2023-04-18Elizabeth18:13Goose ELM, The Bozeman MT18 minutes of rock 'n roll music. Rick takes the lead and explores every inch of the jam over a steady choogle from the rest of the band. Excellent clav.
2023-04-18Rosewood Heart24:35Goose ELM, The Bozeman MTPercussive vintage vibes led first jam dissolves laterally from its peak into a Trevorbass dance clinic accented by loads of tasteful synth work. Abrupt -> Radiohead's "Weird Fishes". Fans of 11/6/21 are advised to check this version out.
2023-04-19Everything Must Go15:43Goose ELM, The Bozeman MTThe initial blossoming of "EMG" as a second-set jam vehicle. Propelling into a vicious minor-key jam, Rick does some serious shredding but the real power lies with the rhythm section - Trevor is active and leading while Spuds keeps his foot to the floor throughout. Blasts through several screaming peaks.
2023-04-19No Rain13:56Goose ELM, The Bozeman MTThe jam stays relatively quiet and contemplative with excellent Vintage Vibe foundation from Peter. Rick toys with melodic leads but eschews a peak as Peter throws in a "Dark Star" tease in the last moments.
2023-04-19Madhuvan12:58Goose ELM, The Bozeman MTUnassuming 12-minute runtime for this song - but it covers a LOT of ground in a relatively short frame.
2023-04-21All I Need21:59Goose Knitting Factory Boise IDStunning melodic beauty followed by "Factory Fiction" inspired jam and peak.
2023-04-21Wysteria Lane24:05Goose Knitting Factory Boise IDDrummers lock in on the primal toms as Peter unleashes both synth and Vibe. Major-key vamp emerges as Rick chops up rhythm guitar. Peaks hard and gets klezmer-ish before building into "Get The Funk Out Ma Face."
2023-04-22Echo of a Rose44:24Goose Paramount Theatre Seattle WALongest jam to date. Multi-sectional behemoth. Cathartic bliss begins as band shakes off PA issues. "Loose Ends" hints lead into a deep funk "Camino" jam as TREVOR BASS makes the filth even filthier. From there, Rick leads into a segment similar to "SOS" or the "Crosseyed and Painless" intro jam as Peter warms up on Vibe. A final pivot into a long, evil build similar to the Philly "Echo" with some foot-guitar action from Peter explodes back into the song. Fully engaging throughout.
2023-04-23In Your Eyes21:08Goose Paramount Theatre Seattle WA21-minute version accentuated by lovely Peter soloing while Rick and Ben sync up in a repeating pattern (to find almost same pattern at the close).
2023-04-23Creatures21:13Goose Paramount Theatre Seattle WABrought all the way down with around 9 minutes to go only to be slowly and melodically built back up. Joyous finish.
2023-04-25Borne22:19Goose McDonald Theatre Eugene ORA serious triumph for fans of patient and psychedelic Goose. Everyone hangs back and just chills in the space as Rick influences with heavy delay and echo loops. Peter soaks it all up with thick Vintage Vibe works as the rhythm section holds it all down. Increases in intensity yet remains calm through a haze of synthesizer and Goedde's light curtain. Unreal.
2023-04-25The Empress Of Organos25:27Goose McDonald Theatre Eugene ORGetting 2nd set opener treatment, jam turns darker and more exploratory than we’ve seen from "Empress" to date after typical rocking start. After soaking in this space, Ben goes double time and Pete turns on lasers for shredding alien abduction.
2023-04-25Rosewood Heart20:27Goose McDonald Theatre Eugene ORGentle, delicate start that patiently builds to wonderful soaring peak before beautifully melting away into "Peggy-O."
2023-04-25Arcadia19:52Goose McDonald Theatre Eugene ORClav-driven funk to start and finishing with fire, this version is a raging, emphatic ending to an unbelievable stretch of music that began with "Borne."

2023-04-27Into the Myst12:37Goose Warfield, The San Francisco CAIn place of the usual jam, this unfinished Myst drops immediately into 5 minutes of gorgeous spacey "Dragonfly" vibes which become a fullblown intro -> "Dragonfly."
2023-04-28Elizabeth18:03Goose Warfield, The San Francisco CAAfter a typical amount of expected choogle, this "Liz" veers stunningly into a pensive full-band bliss jam.

2023-04-29Rockdale16:46Goose Cal Coast Credit Union Amphitheater San Diego CAHints of darkness early on are quickly abandoned in favour of a now-standard double-time jam within "Rockdale." An abrupt and succinct "Loose Ends" is sandwiched within.
2023-04-29Arcadia16:13Goose Cal Coast Credit Union Amphitheater San Diego CAFans of 11/16/19 and 11/17/22 will be familiar with this uplifting chord progression. Nothing new, but DAMN good.

2023-05-26Thatch21:26Goose Three Sisters Park Chillicothe ILOpens the second set with 20 mins of pure fire. Peter leans into some vicious clav riffing as the energy peaks and saves Rick on a technical difficulty. Brief minute of major key jamming and they wrap it up on a strong note.
2023-06-02Tumble21:20Goose Cathead Distillery Jackson MSAfter the initial funk, the jam departs "Tumble" proper and opens up on the back of a repeated riff from Peter on upright piano. Synths come in as the rest of the band coalesces around the leadership for a while before Rick takes the reins and blasts into a strong finish. Absolutely stunning version.
2023-06-21Elizabeth13:59Goose Riviera Theatre Chicago ILElizaCautionBeth - first jam rockfest with multiple builds that shifts slightly darker and slower as it begins a restrained descent into an incredible "Caution" segue.
2023-06-21Caution5:03Goose Riviera Theatre Chicago ILElizaCautionBeth - Peter hitting creepy notes & Rick begins playing "Caution" notes out of an amazing segue. This leads to a cool, slower song start. Final verses speed up and jam builds beautifully back into "Elizabeth."

2023-06-21Hungersite15:13Goose Riviera Theatre Chicago IL"Welcome to Delta"-ish jam gives way to a Rick led shredfest that eventually melts into an airy exit into "Dripfield."
2023-06-21Dripfield15:40Goose Riviera Theatre Chicago ILHeavy vocal effects establish a psychedelic atmosphere right off the bat. The trippy vibe stays throughout the jam with haunting marimba layered over an excellent Drip drums backbone.
2023-06-21Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo14:38Goose Riviera Theatre Chicago ILExcellent two-guitar shred. Peter leans into the waves of sound during the last dark build.
2023-06-22Borne23:18Goose Louisville Palace Theatre Louisville KYAnother notch in the belt of the early '23 "Borne" dominance. The must-hear jam starts out minimalistic and hypnotic, similar to the Eugene version. Peter pushes the band out of the murkiness and into some dark jamming which leads to a hair-raising and triumphant peak.
2023-06-22Arrow29:27Goose Louisville Palace Theatre Louisville KYA jam that Peter would write home about, two guitar Goose locks in immediately. Peter finds a nasty repeating hook at 14:20 that band centers and builds around. In 19th minute, band cools jam down and a few minutes later Peter begins soloing melodically and beautifully on the keys. Goose slowly and magically builds around Pete once again and finishes in gorgeous fashion.
2023-06-23All I Need17:45Goose Louisville Palace Theatre Louisville KYThe sonic equivalent of a 50 megaton hydrogen bomb, this arena rock jam oozes fun and flirts with the "Hollywood Nights" chord progression as Rick solos like an erupting volcano over some truly incendiary full band interplay.
2023-06-25Madhuvan24:05Goose Electric Forest Festival Rothbury MISurprise 25-min excursion in a 90-min festival set. Two-guitar darkness fakes out a return to home but instead embarks into straight hose before deconstructing into solid exploration. Extremely diverse themes throughout.
2023-06-27Rosewood Heart19:02Goose Kemba Live! Outdoors Columbus OHAnother masterclass in drums and percussion drive the majority of this jam. Last few minutes highlighted by Peter's haunting keys as guitar/synth effects and bass provide the perfect backdrop.
2023-06-29Red Bird14:56Goose Peach Music Festival Scranton PAFor the Bird’s first big amphitheater outing, “November Rain” and “Layla” codas hatch a tiny chick and implant it deep within your amygdala, pecking squarely at your heartstrings in a crescendoing symphony. Paralyzed by pangful euphoric blinding rapture, the soul inflates as a metaphysical supernova, slowly bursting through… departing… leaving vacancy in your Earthly shell for the Wolf to take hold.
2023-06-30All I Need20:16Goose Nelson Ledges Quarry Park Garrettsville OHThis single-jam version moves into a bouncy danceable space that feels like something that might evolve from a second jam. Probably organic but possibly an intentional nod to the historical focus on electronic music at Resonance.
2023-06-30Arrow29:38Goose Nelson Ledges Quarry Park Garrettsville OHPeter goes crazy on this "Arrow": synthy dreaminess, marimba dance style jamming, helicopter and alarm horn background effects, subtle voice drops (woo’s?), double guitar darkness. Once he shifts back to melodic keys you know final drive to peak is coming (and it delivers!).
2023-06-30Wysteria Lane17:50Goose Nelson Ledges Quarry Park Garrettsville OHTypical mellow start until Ben begins tribal drumming, Rick changes to a grungier tone and jam thrusts into a nasty rock build.
2023-07-01Echo of a Rose19:36Goose Nelson Ledges Quarry Park Garrettsville OHExtra raunchy clav by Peter kicks off before the switch to piano gives Rick the space to start laying the foundation for what becomes a frantic journey through a sonic maze. The 13 minute mark begins the fast tempo escape from the morass. Soaring guitar work by Rick builds the jam to a couple really nice peaks before reentry.
2023-07-01The Empress Of Organos18:51Goose Nelson Ledges Quarry Park Garrettsville OHThe Umphress Of Organos (Umphrey’s McGee sit-in): after the typical beautiful Trevor solo, Joel Cummins & Pete trade off on keys wonderfully then hand over to Jake Cinninger & Rick for a diabolical, multi-part shredfest.
2023-07-03Everything Must Go16:19Goose Stone Pony Summer Stage Asbury Park NJRick hits a repeating pattern that band lock on around, Pete beautifully hits a perfectly timed synth and then jam energetically takes off in best version to date.

2023-07-03Yeti10:51Goose Stone Pony Summer Stage Asbury Park NJGroove locks in and departs "Yeti" proper before one of the band's best segues to date into "Creatures."
2023-07-03Creatures20:20Goose Stone Pony Summer Stage Asbury Park NJPerfect segue out of "Yeti" and it's all gravy from there. Energy on top of energy on top of energy for 20 minutes while fireworks begin going off in the background. The following "Arcadia" finishes out a wild trio to celebrate the 4th on the boardwalk.
2023-07-03Arcadia11:28Goose Stone Pony Summer Stage Asbury Park NJNot an atypical version musically or very long, but the 4th of July fireworks and INSANE energy make this one special.
2023-07-03Dripfield23:11Goose Stone Pony Summer Stage Asbury Park NJPete given a mid-jam opportunity to shine on the keys and after a quick solo, creates a salsa-like groove that band picks up on. First version to have the fast, “happy” "Dripfield" ending.
2023-07-04Thatch17:37Goose Stone Pony Summer Stage Asbury Park NJTrevor driving as he often does with "Thatch," but this time with simple-yet-cool riffs and melodies that the band latches onto and then builds around. Stank face inducing rock in the last 6 minutes.
2023-07-04Hungersite14:47Goose Stone Pony Summer Stage Asbury Park NJForegoing the initial rocking section and peak we’ve seen in many 2023 versions, the band immediately settles for a quieter, gentler jam. Results in Rick finding a pretty riff with around 5 mins to go that everyone hooks onto and builds into a really pretty glory peak.
2023-07-06Hot Tea23:41Goose Thompson's Point Portland MEGoose begins taking a gentler approach than the usual Hot Tea and finds a gorgeous pocket of melodic bliss and patiently and beautifully builds around it. Heart-warming, smile-inducing joy in a way that very few bands can induce.
2023-07-06Madhuvan16:03Goose Thompson's Point Portland MEVery Floyd-like section gives a really psychedelic vibe to the first half of this version.

Will take set opener Empress any day!
2023-07-07Thatch22:06Goose Saratoga Performing Arts Center Saratoga Springs NYJam quickly mellows out into a quiet-yet-tight groove. "Tequila" teasing adds some flavour as the band gradually increases the energy and explodes. Amazing mid-set version from the legendary SPAC debut.
2023-07-07Dripfield14:18Goose Saratoga Performing Arts Center Saratoga Springs NYTribal, triumphant set 2 closer of an epic show. Sit back and enjoy Ben and Jeff put on a percussive masterclass while synths swirl and Rick brings down the house with a thrashing, thunderous finish.

2023-07-07Factory Fiction18:56Goose Saratoga Performing Arts Center Saratoga Springs NYFitting encore for their largest show to date, band almost stops playing after final verse and toys with spacey effects before epic build up into passionate, conquering jam full of swagger.

2023-09-13Drive14:17Goose Leader Bank Pavilion Boston MAFall tour opens with a blazing hot "Drive" that sees the band stretch out the solo section into some great dual-guitar madness.
2023-09-13Time to Flee15:45Goose Leader Bank Pavilion Boston MA"Flee" had a pretty good Fall and it all started here. Right when the rocking jam is about to wrap up with the closing guitar solo, this unfinished version instead veers into a delightfully whimsical little passage akin to early 90's Frisell interpreting ragtime music. Peter moves from vibes to clav in a satisfying fashion during a slick transition into "Look Out Cleveland".
2023-09-13Butter Rum14:59Goose Leader Bank Pavilion Boston MASynthy, psychedelic vibe largely thanks to Spuds' pounding toms and Peter's delayed Vintage Vibe work. Really incredible use of keyboard effects.
2023-09-13Madhuvan18:16Goose Leader Bank Pavilion Boston MAThis Boston run was Vintage Vibe heaven. Peter lays it on THICK, infusing vibrato and distortion into the heavy chords in the early dark segment as Rick shreds alongside. Makes a bright shift and soars through a series of glorious peaks before returning home.
2023-09-14Earthling or Alien?22:03Goose Leader Bank Pavilion Boston MASecond big Boston "E or A?" of 2023. Jam begins to break into space with some octave-up from rick and reverb-drenched marimba from Peter, though still anchored in the song's progression. Second half hits double-time and explodes outward into a sunny afternoon of a peak. Just nonstop momentum.
2023-09-14Thatch20:53Goose Leader Bank Pavilion Boston MADark and synthy. Learning lessons from each version on the road to Boston, this one has some amazing eerie texturing from Peter, while Rick and Trevor growl in the darkness. Gradually picks up steam with the same ominous Prophet synth undertone throughout. Excellent display of tension-building here.
2023-09-14Everything Must Go16:01Goose Leader Bank Pavilion Boston MAAn important stop on the journey to the insanity at Red Rocks in just a few weeks, we are treated to another dive into Vintage Vibe darkness as the rhythm section holds down a beautiful bedrock for Rick and Peter to weave around each other. Run through a brick wall with the momentum of this one.

2023-09-16Wysteria Lane24:35Goose Masonic Temple Detroit MIInitial two-guitar duelling fragments into marimba space and slows down into some classic Fall '23 bliss-building. Hints of the reverse "Heartbreaker" riff Rick loves so much punch through at the peak before Peter leads into a piano-centric outro jam that might just be the best part of the whole thing.
2023-09-17Elizabeth12:24Goose Miller High Life Theatre Milwaukee WIElizabliss chugs right into a gorgeous, intoxicating bliss jam that smoothly builds and builds to a triumphant peak, with Rick’s guitar tone sparkling like the Champagne of beers in the Miller High Life Theatre.
2023-09-17Into the Myst15:18Goose Miller High Life Theatre Milwaukee WIStraight into disco mode. Peter sets up the synths and works the delay on his clav as the groove expands. He then moves over to Vibe as the dance gets slightly darker before a PERFECT -> to "Echo."
2023-09-17Echo of a Rose12:13Goose Miller High Life Theatre Milwaukee WI-> in from "Myst." Picks up where the groove left off and builds up a powerful head of steam before heading smoothly into "Take On Me," finishing out an excellent trio of songs to begin the second set.

2023-09-22Time to Flee18:31Goose Kettlehouse Amphitheater Bonner MTSpuds quickly turns percussive as Peter hits repeating patterns on the Vibe. Fragments into the Eastern-tinged space they love so much with circular riffs from Rick and Peter that give it a very dissonant and darker feel.
2023-09-22Drive19:31Goose Kettlehouse Amphitheater Bonner MTA rare fully-two-guitar jam for 2023. Deconstructs into a seriously groovy interplay section driven by Spuds' clap stack. Still pretty much Type I throughout but a very fun and groovy listen. Peter hits the keys right at the end with hints of Ted Tapes riffing as they > to an explosive "Red Bird."
2023-09-22Thatch24:50Goose Kettlehouse Amphitheater Bonner MTWhether you think it's the JOTY or not, this "Thatch" is a seriously dense listen. Dark and percussive at first, it feels very typical for the tour but quickly heads into evil territory thanks to Rick and Peter's interplay. Spuds pivots into a charging beat at the 18th minute and they just go for it. Superlatives can't even do this peak justice - needs to be listened. Rick plays with his Whammy at the apex before they execute a perfect and towering return to the song proper. All-timer.
2023-09-22Dripfield20:29Goose Kettlehouse Amphitheater Bonner MTVery "In Your Eyes"-tinged jam. Upbeat and feel-good, this version signifies that Goose is finally finding their footing with big "Dripfield" jams and breaking the mold.
2023-09-24Arrow21:30Goose Cascade Equinox Festival Redmond ORStandard fare until the last five minutes or so, when the band breaks into some terrifyingly evil improv.

2023-09-25No Rain14:50Goose Fox Theater Oakland CAPeppy jam begins with Spuds on punchy tom work as Peter lays into the Vibe. Turns spacey and then falls away into a bouncy funk jam that feels totally unique to Goose's sound. Trevor and Rick lock in on some riffs while Peter moves to a textural role throughout the contemplative and unhurried groove. Must-listen to understand the developmental period of Fall '23.
2023-09-26Elizabeth18:37Goose Fox Theater Oakland CAAnother stellar outing for the song in '23, this Liz finds herself ever-so-gently tugging at threads of the bay area "Dark Star" concentrate in the fabric, pulling Inspiration from the cosmos for the truly gorgeous bliss jam to come.
2023-09-26Yeti14:50Goose Fox Theater Oakland CANot your average set-closing rocker. The band moves beyond standard Peter shred territory to an all-out party jam with a euphoric feel. Foot on the gas, it peaks for several minutes straight before sliding back into the song proper.
2023-09-26Dripfield22:38Goose Fox Theater Oakland CASecond big "Drip" of fall tour breaks form into the familiar percussive play with Rick and Peter dancing around each other. Sticks in this zone for a while until a shift into an amazing and expressive bliss-rock peak. Beautiful stuff.
2023-09-28Thatch19:40Goose Wiltern, The Los Angeles CAWhile many previous versions of "Thatch" highlight an aggressive or darker jam, this LA version turns bright and contemplative after a turn of percussive play with strong Trevor and Peter underneath Rick's melodies. Hints of the Vegas "Elizabeth" to come a few days later.
2023-09-29Time to Flee19:39Goose Santa Barbara Bowl Santa Barbara CAThis fluid and vibrant Flee is at its best during the masterful emotive solo Rick guides the first half of the jam with, Peter dancing along with every note in some of his very finest piano accompaniment.
2023-10-01Elizabeth20:44Goose Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas NVChoogles along as normal until the 11th minute, when Peter and Trevor lock in on a major-key transition. Rick flips on the octave-up overtop a low synth drone as Goose takes it really slow and patient in a build that reminds some of "Pancakes" or "Wolfman's Brother." Whatever you want to call it, it's absolutely phenomenal. Special highlight to the gong TEXTURES that Jeff lays down.
2023-10-01All I Need16:41Goose Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas NVPeter hits the Vibe early on in the jam as the pace is set. Fun "Magic School Bus" teases pivot into a great peak section that make this the standout OG "AIN" since 2019.
2023-10-01Madhuvan18:06Goose Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas NVHaunting reverse-delay Vibe early section goes full shred-hose for a wild peak.
2023-10-05This Old Sea19:17Goose Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater Morrison COFirst jammed version of "Sea" in 2023 gets bluesy and rocking. Rick toys with a riff similar to Zeppelin's "Moby Dick" as Peter whales on the organ. Guitar takes over as the band hits a feel-good peak and just sustains it for a long time.
2023-10-06Everything Must Go16:47Goose Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater Morrison CONewly rearranged "EMG" jam segment is perfectly suited to the pure evil that develops at Red Rocks. Locking in on a theme like the hallowed 1/30/22 "Wysteria" and 6/10/22 "AIN," Rick just doesn't let up for a second as Spuds and Jebb go wild on the primal drums. Trevor drops massive bombs as Peter hammers piano chords and the darkness just BUILDS. Absolutely astounding improv.
2023-10-06Yeti14:38Goose Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater Morrison COCloses the first set like its recent counterpart in Oakland. Gets outside of standard "Yeti" for some fun peak jamming.
2023-10-06Thatch21:09Goose Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater Morrison COContinuation of the mellower and more upbeat "Thatch" style seen at the Wiltern on 9/28. Rocking first half transitions into a quieter space that builds into an excellent peak.
2023-10-06Factory Fiction24:01Goose Red Rocks Park and Amphitheater Morrison COThis top shelf "Factory Fiction" jam begins with a snarling slow burn. Eventually finding its way into a patiently developed anthemic Rick-led "Dragonfly" jam, this sonic assault on the alien landscape of Red Rocks concludes in an explosive fashion that merits repeat listens.
2023-10-07Wysteria Lane19:26Goose West Lawn at Lory Student Center Fort Collins COTech issues with Rick's mic cause the band to bail on the song after the first verse and just jam. A strong Type I peak is reached before Peter hits the Vibe and infuses "Magic School Bus" into the groove. Smoothly goes from there into a more evil space thanks to Rick's shredding and peaks nicely.
2023-10-07Red Bird17:04Goose West Lawn at Lory Student Center Fort Collins COMoving with peak efficiency this "Red Bird" drops into darkness more quickly than a Spirit Halloween can fill the void of a dead retail store. The summoned Avian Entity arrives and decides to have a bit of fun on this day. Playfully tugged at like psychic marionettes, the members of Goose channel an impromptu film score to the River Spirit’s arrival at the Aburaya Bathhouse, tapping “Moby” to complete the scene.
2023-11-03All I Need19:46Goose Trabendo Paris Second song ever played in Europe goes full bliss rock mode. Soaring first jam, crunchy middle segment, and then another excellent peak to close.
2023-11-03Madhuvan23:31Goose Trabendo Paris Peter runs marimba through the Leslie for a haunting and unique effect early on. Rick and Trevor lock in on some melodies as the effects continue to dominate. The band emerges as Spuds picks up the pace and seems to be heading for bliss land, but Peter delays that shift with layers and layers of reverbed piano. Eventually hits a blistering peak and returns home.
2023-11-04Echo of a Rose13:59Goose Luxor Cologne Trevor and Peter find a really catchy repeating downward progression theme that the band builds around. Excellent gradual collective cool down that allows band to side into "Borne."
2023-11-04Mas Que Nada11:22Goose Luxor Cologne Surprise jam out of this cover gets dark and nasty with layered Leslie marimba and organ from Peter while Spuds absolutely punishes his kit. Can't tell if it's the band or crowd screaming here either!
2023-11-07Wysteria Lane20:18Goose Melkweg Amsterdam Highlight of the Jamsterdam show, Peter shines as he drives mood of jam with simple yet powerful selections on keys throughout, ending in beautiful Blissteria collective band magic. Slides into a really great "Electric Avenue."
2023-11-07Electric Avenue10:29Goose Melkweg Amsterdam Eugene "Borne"-style jamming for the middle few minutes as the band gets atypically quiet and patient. Layers of textures are absolutely breathtaking and it's a shame it's so short!
2023-11-07Thatch17:47Goose Melkweg Amsterdam Peter collects a bunch of coins early on as the rhythm section destroys the minimalist funk groove. Rick pivots into triumph and the band unleashes a volcanic peak to close it out.

2023-11-09Tumble14:04Goose Hotel Cecil Copenhagen Type I high energy scorcher.

2023-11-11Rosewood Heart14:55Goose Gretchen Berlin In typical Euro Tour 23 fashion, short, type 1, yet impressive jam. Melodic and uplifting finish before landing into "Fifth of Beethoven."
2023-11-13Green River8:29Goose AB Club Brussels Strap in - short but shredfest peak showing you can't skip even 8 minute jams with Goose.
2023-11-13Animal26:21Goose AB Club Brussels First Type II "Animal" ever departs from form after 13 mins into a contemplative major-key space. A gorgeous and soaring peak ensues with great contributions from all five before Spuds leads into a "Flodown"-esque section before the song closes unfinished.
2023-11-13Inside Out15:08Goose AB Club Brussels With an extra twinkly intro courtesy of Peter, this "Inside Out" moves into some blues-tinged guitar jamming that briefly borders on your typical "Animal" jam territory (band must have been feeling inspired from earlier) before a Trevorbass & keys section closes it out.
2023-11-15Jive Lee17:52Goose BAaD Glasgow Longest "Lee" to date doesn't go too far from home, at least initially, as Peter dials up some synth undertones. Hits on some "Dragonfly" elements before Spuds takes control as he was wont to do on the Europe '23 tour. Peter plays with motif's almost like Vulfpeck's "Tee Time" as Rick shreds up to the finish.
2023-11-15Pancakes22:51Goose BAaD Glasgow Free-flowing, collective no-one-take-the-lead improv as you can find little moments throughout where any 2 band members riff of each other only to have the others join in. Gradual, patient build leading to explosive peak.
2023-11-15Echo of a Rose13:09Goose BAaD Glasgow Quickly heads for Winter 2022-style dark jamming. Trevor gets DEEP into Spuds' pocket as Rick's angular soloing swirls around Peter's eerie piano. Synths come in as it gets heavier and into some carnival-like zones before the band bails back into the "Echo" ending.
2023-11-16Everything Must Go18:52Goose Academy 2 Manchester Immediately dropping into a darker key akin to the Red Rocks version, this jam pulsates and is driven forward by ferocious drumming, slowly building to majestic glorious rock.
2023-11-16Thatch16:47Goose Academy 2 Manchester After funky start where Luigi finds his coins, Peter layers mystical synths and Rick finds a haunting repeating riff that propels a wonderfully unique and enchanting version. Thrilling finish.
2023-11-16Creatures18:43Goose Academy 2 Manchester Blistering Type I play cools into a brief "Shama" fakeout before Goose unleashes one of the best bliss jams in recent memory. Calling to mind the Cap "Drive," each member takes their time with the theme and delivers an absolutely incredible peak.
2023-11-16Drive8:11Goose Academy 2 Manchester After Peter tells crowd they have one more song, Rick rips back into a second Drive jam to end the show. A fiery theme develops and eventually morphs into the "(dawn)" finish. Incredible spontaneous moment.
2023-11-18Wysteria Lane17:40Goose Thekla Bristol Peter stays on guitar for the entire jam, an exceptionally rare occurrence for the time period. Some nasty Type I churn explodes through the first part of the jam but cools around 13:30. Peter's staccato repeated riff informs the next part of the jam, where the band plays with a theme akin to the ending of "Dripfield." Great upbeat groove modes.
2023-11-18All I Need13:29Goose Thekla Bristol Summoning the ghost of the ‘21 Legend Valley "Madhuvan," this sub-14-minute version contains an incredible stop/start jam, alternating back and forth between peaceful serenity and possessed heavy metal shredding.
2023-11-19Hot Tea18:20Goose Electric Ballroom London Dance fest that brings an extra bit of juice to the party. Ripping extended finish.
2023-11-20Hungersite20:59Goose Electric Ballroom London Builds momentum like many '23 versions but begins to stray from normal when Peter hits the clav with some subtle delay. Spuds is an absolute WORKHORSE as he keeps the propulsive tempo up. Rick finds a melody that he likes and Goose shreds to a peak of epic proportions. Final night of tour throw-down.
2023-11-20Madhuvan23:25Goose Electric Ballroom London “DDS”/“The Doctor Will See You Now” vocal shenanigans lead to gorgeous bliss. Ben eventually hits double time and jam builds to soaring, beautiful first climax. In 16th minute, they return to traditional "Madhuvan" rocking. Peter takes lead with a few playful piano solos before Rick storms back in for an another blistering peak. Just when you think it may be winding down in minute 21, band rips back in and explodes the finish. One of the best jams, if not the best, of Euro Tour 23.
2023-12-08All I Need14:06Goose Hampton Coliseum Hampton VAFor the first time ever, Goose combines the original and "slow" arrangements of "AIN" as part of the Echochrome planet theme. Jam is solid but the real star is Peter's RIPPING ending guitar solo.
2023-12-08Mirrors22:53Goose Hampton Coliseum Hampton VAThe 20-minute Justin Timberlake cover you ordered! Begins with hints of "Eugene Borne" as synths swirl before taking off into a more familiar peak zone that touches themes akin to Ted Tapes cut "Camino II." Superb all around.
2023-12-08Creatures21:52Goose Hampton Coliseum Hampton VAStandard play for the majority of the jam breaks into an excellent full-band rhythmic motif for the last five minutes. All about the drums here.
2023-12-09Dripfield17:51Goose Hampton Coliseum Hampton VARare mid-first-set "Drip" returns to arena status with a high-octane Type II peak. Great stuff, fades unfinished.
2023-12-09Run Through The Jungle11:39Goose Hampton Coliseum Hampton VANot your average "strap in" CCR cover. Peter hits the Vibe as the jam begins and the band embarks on a wildly spacey Type II journey that eventually winds around to the conclusion of "Echo of a Rose." Look for this song again in 2024.
2023-12-09Arcadia13:58Goose Hampton Coliseum Hampton VAA fitting conclusion to the tenth Goosemas that also was Spuds' final song - though we didn't know at the time. Nothing out of the ordinary but a special, fiery "Arcadia" that takes some extra spins around the ending as the band took a moment to relish their Hampton accomplishment.
2024-04-07Drive30:55Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYCotter's first big jam and the band does not hold back one iota. First developing a ripping dual-guitar jam for several minutes - very active Trevor - before Cotter seamlessly transitions into the "second jam." Patiently builds into a bliss motif reminiscent of the ending of "SOS," peaking massively and concluding just short of the 31-minute mark.
2024-04-07Pancakes22:17Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYNot multi-section like the first set's "Drive" but is at least as good. Chaos slowly begins to creep in as Rick introduces a dark melody to build upon as Cotter really shows what he can do. Perfect re-entry atop the peak as Rick gradually teases the ending "Pancakes" riff a number of times before committing to the landing. Must-hear.
2024-04-07Everything Must Go21:47Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYRevised arrangement with propulsive drumming from Cotter leads to a jam that could not be more different from Fall '23 versions. Initially winds up in a great blissy space that reaches a natural conclusion, but the band instead opts to put the pedal to the metal and strike into a dance groove. Peter hits into some filthy envelope filter clav work before transitioning into marimba while Rick slowly guides the band back into the euphoric conclusion of the song.
2024-04-07This Old Sea8:01Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYFirst version with Jeff on acoustic guitar and it sounds great. Jam coalesces into a cool groove before sliding perfectly -> to "Factory Fiction," probably the most notable thing about this one.
2024-04-08Into the Myst27:12Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYAfter an energetic and extended jam, Goose begins to slowly morph into one of the most feel good, happy, grin-inducing jams they've ever played. A jam so happy, it’s like watching the entirety of Ted Lasso season one in 30 seconds.
2024-04-08Rosewood Heart25:07Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYA breathtaking and beautiful take on the song. Doesn't stray far from "Rosewood" proper but showcases remarkable patience as the band builds together to a dreamlike peak. Rick throws in some excellent dark tension-building moments toward the end as well.
2024-04-09Wysteria Lane17:33Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYGreat dual-guitar churn on the front end, but the last few minutes of deconstructive and contemplative play are the real star. Showed potential for further exploration but was abandoned in favour of a concise "Echo of a Rose."
2024-04-09Thatch18:26Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYDark and propulsive jam led by Peter on the OB-6. Not the deepest improvisationally but an excellent listen.
2024-04-09Red Bird23:07Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYThe band spends the first minutes after the vocal rounds poking at the edges of the melody until finally casting the bit. Then it's drill, baby, drill. The jam loops, but with purpose. It takes a pointed journey, uncovering new layers as it spirals deeper into the core of its oblique melody, creating an ever-changing tapestry of sound. Cotter energetically closes his first "Bird" with rolling tom work over creative breakbeats while Rich toys with an almost Middle Eastern "Minarets"-style riff.
2024-04-09Madhuvan19:01Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYJam begins from nothing as Rick begins to build a sinister motif. Peter lays down delayed Vibe as the rest of the band enters and gradually build into a beautifully evil churn. Rick then signals to Cotter at the apex and the drums drive forward into double-time, bringing us home in a blaze of glory to bookend this second set. Some really wild and articulate heavy metal builds from Rick.
2024-04-10Atlas Dogs16:35Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYFirst jammed version since 10/6/22 gets into an airy space quickly with Rick sticking to form at first.
2024-04-10Tumble23:34Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYPeter goes full Cory Wong mode on the initial jam segment as he takes a stroll around the stage. Eschewing the typical B-flat modulation to go into jam territory, the band fragments out of the funk and quickly builds into gorgeous major-key play led by Vintage Vibe and Rick's emotional soloing. Cotter picks up the tempo post-peak and Rick lets Peter take the lead as they blaze into the finish of an excellent jam and set.
2024-04-10Cape Cod Kwassa Kwassa 31:35Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYThe fabled 31-minute "Cape Cod" of Vampire Weekend dreams. Cotter and CT really lock in here as the band gets into uncharted territory. Hits some Allman Brothers bliss (much to the excitement of Rick and Ezra), then some great clav funk ahead of the song's conclusion. "Those guys can hang!"
2024-04-10Arrow25:09Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYA good omen for 2024, "Arrow" makes good use of its time in the first outing of the year. The band drops into a late-night OB-6 space for a while before an explosive conclusion.
2024-04-10Hungersite20:19Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYGoes absolutely balls-to-the-walls for the first jam, getting to high speeds and intensity while Rick absolutely unleashes on the eager crowd. Back half is a nice and patient dual-guitar space that segues nicely into "Dripfield" to complete the Driptych.
2024-04-24Jam8:08Goose Clune Auditorium at Wilton High School Wilton CTRick's rig suffers from some technical difficulties, so the rest of the band takes the time by hanging out in some gorgeous ambience with a commitment to patience and quieter dynamics. Especially incredible melodic work from Trevor. Rick rejoins toward the end and nudges the band into "Silver Rising."
2024-05-26Can't Get You Out Of My Head10:36Goose Three Sisters Park Chillicothe ILIt's your classic festival set "Myst" -> "Kylie"...until it's not. Amazing textures in a synth-drenched wind-down on the outro.
2024-05-26Everything Must Go20:23Goose Three Sisters Park Chillicothe ILA sludgy and mysterious exit from the song structure leads to some typical jamming that progressively gets more melodic over the course of 12 minutes or so until Rick latches onto the theme that becomes the centerpiece. He deftly builds up to the peak backed by Cotter’s staccato attack for 5 minutes of triumphant glory. We don’t know what we’ve won, but we’re certain we’re victorious.
2024-06-04All I Need18:56Goose Factory, The Chesterfield MOCotter's first "AIN" opens summer tour on a strong note. Gets into some percussive space before a brief major section gives way to a spacier and dark-tinged mode. Peter goes to guitar for the last few minutes as they explore some new territory before sliding perfectly -> to "Flee."
2024-06-04Borne30:47Goose Factory, The Chesterfield MOInitial standard "Borne" jamming gets into some weird territory just before the 20-minute mark thanks to Cotter and Trevor. Envelope filter bass gets augmented by choppy clav from Peter as Rick lays down loops, eventually smoothly morphing into an upbeat and rocking peak. Hell of an omen for the rest of tour.
2024-06-04The Empress Of Organos21:35Goose Factory, The Chesterfield MORick's new synth pedal gets a workout as the band plays the first of many amazing versions of "Empress" in summer '24. Late-night disco groove emerges, which will be a prevalent theme throughout the tour.
2024-06-05Tumble22:38Goose Factory, The Chesterfield MOThe band departs from initial funk together in a rocking progression with Peter laying down chunky guitar behind Rick's soloing. Downshifts with a major modulation and follows a familiar uplifting pattern as Cotter pushes the tempo. Hits a strong peak before returning to funk and hints at "Arrow" ahead of the song's conclusion.
2024-06-05Thatch15:57Goose Factory, The Chesterfield MOCircular patterns of tension and darkness develop as Cotter's fluidity shines. Builds layers and layers of unease as Peter hits sirens and Rick gets dissonant. Amazing stuff that can be likened to a mid-90s "Stash."
2024-06-05Red Bird23:17Goose Factory, The Chesterfield MORoaring down the open road, radio blaring “...and the road goes on forever I’ve got one more silver...”, feeling mellow mischievous, the sea pans into view. Now barreling along the cliffs the Rider abruptly plunges into the sea, radio cut dead in the depths replaced by embryonic deep whooshing saline heartbeat. Feeling a needful pull toward the surface a triumphant new driving rhythm crackles the airwaves while screaming ablaze toward shouts emanating from vermin in their wooden coffin soon-to-be a pyre.
2024-06-05Tomorrow Never Knows15:37Goose Factory, The Chesterfield MOBlasts out of an excellent "Red Bird" into a blistering hot jam.
2024-06-07Jive Lee21:45Goose Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre Greenwood Village COAll-out disco dance party. First "Lee" to ever hit 20 minutes stays in a steady pocket with digital sauce from Rick and OB-6 work from Peter. Trevor steps in with a new progression that deepens the vibe as Cotter stays heavy on toms. Eventually increases in intensity and rages into the finish. Stellar version.
2024-06-07Wysteria Lane17:42Goose Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre Greenwood Village COA gorgeous two-guitar bliss jam that unfurls into the mountain air. A mood of exuberance throughout.
2024-06-07Hungersite20:54Goose Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre Greenwood Village COThe band sits in Type I "Hungersite" territory for most of the jam, giving the impression of a conscious effort to resist full peak mode for as long as possible. By the time they get there, there's some undertones of heavy rock and Cotter leads into a half-time shred mode for the final minute that's absolutely amazing.
2024-06-07Dripfield16:02Goose Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre Greenwood Village COQuickly departs "Drip" proper for a similar jam to the earlier "Wysteria." Not super long but is guaranteed to lift your spirits.
2024-06-08Drive30:20Goose Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre Greenwood Village COSecond "Drive" of the year and second to pass 30 minutes. Hangs out in fast-paced two-guitar funk zones until the 15th minute, when Rick leads into a more atmospheric zone atop a bed of Peter's synth. Trevor gets LOW as the band finds an ascending riff akin to "Time to Flee" and works it for a while. Eventually finds its way into a piano-forward zone that seems to hint at "Factory Fiction" for a while. Lands smoothly in a set-closing "Give it Time."
2024-06-08Madhuvan32:59Goose Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre Greenwood Village COSeveral mins of dissonance kicks off before Rick pulls the band into a funkier mode. Modulates to major and soars for a few mins - but the real work is just beginning. Digging into some evil tones with Peter laying on Vintage Vibe and then OB-6, the band builds into a massive black hole. Cotter pivots into a faster beat insinctively and Rick and Peter circle each other. Trevor blasts his way in just before the 26:00 with MASSIVE bombs before a "River Lullaby" jam develops and closes out this all-timer jam.
2024-06-10Butter Rum16:35Goose Steelhouse Omaha NEHating on this "Rum" is hating on some of Rick's best guitar work of the tour. It's like a spoiled child claiming that the family trip to Disney was a disaster because they had to have cake for dessert instead of ice cream.
2024-06-10Arcadia20:06Goose Steelhouse Omaha NEPure hose. There's not necessarily a need for exploration here as the band's excitement pours out into the celebratory music.
2024-06-11Inside Out24:48Goose Midland Theatre, The Kansas City MOThe beginning of this is all about the Vibe textures. Peter sticks to chordal work through a big peak before the band transitions into a more propulsive zone, beginning to build momentum thanks to Peter's repeated piano and Cotter's insistence. Rick hangs back to let the drummer lead as Peter throws ideas into the space. Continuously builds in energy and intensity before a hot peak, finally closing out with a few minutes of percussive funk and interplay before abruptly swerving into "A Fifth of Beethoven."
2024-06-11Hungersite24:12Goose Midland Theatre, The Kansas City MOPeter keeps the familiar "Hungersite" peak fresh with a repeated descending lick, beefing up his usual comping behind Rick's solo. Barely slows down at all before the disco-delay clav comes in like this version's counterparts from 11/20/23 and Chateau Sessions. Rick throws in some digital sauce as the disco gets more vicious and hits a final peak.
2024-06-12Everything Must Go20:26Goose Everwise Amphitheater at White River State Park Indianapolis INFirst set closing jam that fools you with an initial pleasing bliss section before turning on the burners and torching Indianapolis to the ground. NSFW explosive peaking.
2024-06-12Rosewood Heart18:20Goose Everwise Amphitheater at White River State Park Indianapolis INSteady marimba-filled groove gives most of jam a summery vibe, that begins to turn on the gas around 5.5 minutes left. Rick begins trilling and chording up higher and more melodically as the rest of band increases in volume and intensity. Gorgeous "Rosewood" heart-bursting beauty at 16:47 that resolves wonderfully.
2024-06-14Earthling or Alien?20:42Goose Northlands Live Swanzey NHListening to this jam feels incomplete without taking into account the incredible sunset that happened during it. The band breaks from "E or A?" form into a long synth-drenched peak with blissful energy.
2024-06-14Jive Lee21:02Goose Northlands Live Swanzey NH2nd huge "Lee" of the summer begins with reverbed-out clav from Peter. Coasts on synth-drenched piano and Rick's guitar which begins to lead into a darker mood. Cotter rolls on the snare as Trevor burbles up with envelope filtered work. Explores a hypnotic riff for several mins, bringing the jam to a boil before Cotter increases the tempo into a minimalist and percussive zone with Peter on marimba piano. Begins its patient journey home before returning to the conclusion of "Lee." 21 minutes of pure improv.
2024-06-14Thatch18:16Goose Northlands Live Swanzey NHBlazing second set version sees the band lock in around Trevor's thumping and Peter's arpeggiator. Hypnotic groove develops and hits a peak but is brought to its conclusion by Rick before it can go any further.
2024-06-14Wysteria Lane17:20Goose Northlands Live Swanzey NHWith its patient commitment to quieter dynamics, the first half drips with Manzarek-style vintage vibe flurries in conversation with subtle guitar lines. As the tempo increases, both keys and guitar introduce distortion, leading the full band into the same punctuated recurring motif as the fiery Ryman "Wysteria."
2024-06-15Tumble21:13Goose Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center Canandaigua NYWinner of the 2024 "How Much Can You Do With a Single Riff?" contest, this "Tumble" locks onto a bright bubblegum pop theme, energetically looped while stretching its sugary edges and layering subtle synth swells over syncopated marimba textures. A brief but intense Dream Theater-like detour adds a dramatic twist before gleefully returning to the composed outro.
2024-06-16Time to Flee18:41Goose Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica Cleveland OHQuickly pivots from easy breezy mode into punchy clav funk. Grows thicker and heavier for several minutes until the band comes up for air and soars into a peaky zone atop Peter's synth drone. Rick's soloing has some serious mojo behind this as Goose blasts through the amazing end of this jam.
2024-06-16Arrow26:41Goose Jacobs Pavilion at Nautica Cleveland OHThis lengthy "Arrow" takes its time to leave the bow, but, once it does, soars high and true. The band pulls every trick from the quiver, starting with juicy vintage vibes, moving into interpolated Eurythmics-style synth work, and culminating in a punchy motif in which Rick masterfully synthesizes angular phrasing and blissy peaks.
2024-06-18Atlas Dogs21:38Goose Red Hat Amphitheater Raleigh NCLongest "Atlas Dogs" to date starts with vibrato-heavy Vibe and assertive Trevor as Rick sticks to rhythm. Octave-up chirp soloing and tom-heavy driving from Cotter hits the "Tarantella Napoletana" and peaks. Could have ended there but Cotter hits into a dance beat and Peter dials in the phased-out piano for several minutes of jamming that could have come directly from a Parcels show. Impossible not to dance.
2024-06-18Pancakes25:31Goose Red Hat Amphitheater Raleigh NCPercussive clav funk grooves in out of the gate but the real star of this is the "When The Saints Go Marching In"-adjacent bliss jam. Patient, gorgeous, and full - it's everything you want from melodic and happy Goose.
2024-06-20Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo26:31Goose Fox Theatre Atlanta GAHuge second set cover follows a similar path to the 4/7/24 "Drive" - heavy and driving dual-guitar work in the first part and an uplifting slide of piano rock to end it off. Incredible jam.
2024-06-21Elizabeth13:14Goose Fox Theatre Atlanta GADon't ever skip a shorter "Liz" in this era. Pure energy and rock.
2024-06-21Drive22:26Goose Fox Theatre Atlanta GATwo-guitar funk dissolves into a patient major key with great cymbal contributions from Jeff. Never really takes off into high-energy peak land which is a rare occurrence and segues nicely into a powerful "Bob Don."
2024-06-21Thatch17:30Goose Fox Theatre Atlanta GAYou enjoy this jam, beginning with some squishy OB-6 work from Peter and eventually shifting into a flowing rock zone that might inspire you to jump on trampolines.
2024-06-22Arrow27:22Goose Fox Theatre Atlanta GAGoose slows things down lulling the crowd into a false sense of comfort and safety. Peter begins shooting soothing space lasers and soon the Fox Theatre is being lifted into the dark skies, as the music slowly morphing into an extra-terrestrial summoning. Thick and evil music pours forth from the stage to swallow the crowd during this absolute all-time jam.
2024-06-22Tumble27:03Goose Fox Theatre Atlanta GAThe summer of "Tumble" continues with this ATL heater, once again delving into serious bliss-rock territory. Kicks off a three-song set of sustained energy from band and crowd alike in fine form.
2024-06-23Borne19:46Goose Skyla Credit Union Amphitheatre Charlotte NCOn a sweltering evening in NC, Goose opts for quiet introspection in "Borne," following Peter's thick Vintage Vibe work into a familiar major-key progression. Sunset jams.
2024-06-23Echo of a Rose27:26Goose Skyla Credit Union Amphitheatre Charlotte NCAn initial peak leads into some deeper minor-key marimba/Rick chord jamming. Peter infuses a synth drone and Rick goes for an octave-down soar, sticking to a somewhat blissy mode. Modulates for a slower psychedelic rock zone with incredible drum work atop a repeating progression before mellowing and returning home.
2024-06-25All I Need19:18Goose Thompson's Point Portland MEGrounded minor-key play is a nice departure from the synth-heavy jams of June '24. Flips to major for a spell before a grimy build brings us home.
2024-06-25Drive20:33Goose Thompson's Point Portland METhick and dirty dual-guitar work for its duration. Slides cleanly into "Hollywood Nights."
2024-06-25Into the Myst19:12Goose Thompson's Point Portland MEA propulsive Trevor-led groove gives way to some gentle arpeggiator accentuation from Peter under a mellow Summery vibe. To round things out, a pretty descending chord progression from Rick is danced around by the band until, continuing to trend of unfinished "Mysts", there's is a fade-out > "Spirit of the Dark Horse".
2024-06-26Wysteria Lane23:17Goose Thompson's Point Portland METhe OB-6 makes the jam feel like it's in a spaceship taking off as the band leans hard into ambient space with a commitment to patience and quieter dynamics. Rick infuses digital sauce under the subtle textures as the jam gets more percussive before Peter transforms the synth into its own pulsating organism. Trevor leads into a new progression as the waves of digital sound continue. Transforms to a beauteous bliss jam not unlike the Raleigh "Pancakes" around the 18th minute and closes with an amazing peak.
2024-06-26The Empress Of Organos17:35Goose Thompson's Point Portland MESqueezing in the encore before curfew, Goose defies expectations of a standard version and delivers a brutally evil jam section within "Empress."
2024-06-28Tumble26:18Goose Mann Center for the Performing Arts Philadelphia PAFirst mins of the jam is a funk thrown led by Big T, followed by a 10 min blissful section that continues to build into a peak around 20 min mark that can only be described as “what it’s like to see god”. In the return to Tumble peak, Rick whips out the machine gun and mows down the approaching enemy troops. The whole band, but especially Rick - epic performance, as good as music gets.
2024-06-28Hungersite20:08Goose Mann Center for the Performing Arts Philadelphia PAThis first jam is the Cotter show. The man is on FIRE through the usual peak and then goes hand-in-hand with Rick into an angular, dark zone for the final few minutes. A motif that is begging to be explored more by Goose.
2024-06-28In Your Eyes25:03Goose Mann Center for the Performing Arts Philadelphia PAWastes no time before going full clav funk. DRENCHED in reverb, Peter really digs in before transitioning to OB-6 and lifting the jam into the air. Patient bliss develops with gorgeous Rick and the soaring guitar is back in "In Your Eyes" territory before you even realize it. Longest version to date and absolutely phenomenal.
2024-06-29Hot Tea19:22Goose Forest Hills Stadium Queens NYFirst version ever to open a two-set performance gets into some nice rocking Type 1.5 space to kick off the band's largest show to date. Lots of fun in this slot.
2024-06-29Yeti11:59Goose Forest Hills Stadium Queens NYThe 2024 resurgence of "Yeti" continues with this digital sauce-infused party version.
2024-06-29Thatch18:54Goose Forest Hills Stadium Queens NYBig second-set version comes on the heels of a special Autumn Crossing performance. The band strips down to minimalist funk initially with Peter really going ham with delay on the clav. All five members unite as one and rip through a sustained peak section with no one person in the lead.
2024-06-30Rockdale25:24Goose Westville Music Bowl New Haven CTA wicked parade that meanders through a demented circus and the island of misfit toys before things start to get truly weird. Angular, dissonant, and downright terrifying at times. The segment at the 20 minute mark has the whole band in perfect sync on this bad trip. This is dark Goose at its finest. A milestone jam.
2024-06-30Pancakes15:05Goose Westville Music Bowl New Haven CTEmerging from "Skux Life," the quintet explores some nice reggae-tinged terrain before building a peak back into the ending of "Pancakes." A worthy stack, indeed.
2024-09-01Draconian Meter Maid17:24Goose PNC Bank Arts Center Holmdel NJDebut gets taken for a nice ride through airy major-key and then propulsive clav funk. Transitions very cleanly into "Drive."
2024-09-01Same Old Shenanigans16:24Goose PNC Bank Arts Center Holmdel NJNice little Trevor Bass solo gets added to this version.
2024-09-01Big Modern!36:41Goose PNC Bank Arts Center Holmdel NJ36-minute debut is quantity over quality, but the band's commitment to exploration atop Cotter's flowing groove is great.
2024-09-01Madhuvan23:33Goose PNC Bank Arts Center Holmdel NJPeter dominates this version with pulsating waves of OB-6, then matches Rick's heavy shredding on Vintage Vibe. The antithesis to September 2024's significant major-key jams and one of the month's best outings.
2024-09-02Hot Tea18:44Goose MGM Music Hall at Fenway Boston MASome cool full-band grooving in the middle that foreshadows the improvisational development to come later in the tour.
2024-09-02A Western Sun12:50Goose MGM Music Hall at Fenway Boston MABeautiful Moog Muse textures dominate the first jammed version since 8/17/22.
2024-09-04Thatch19:57Goose MGM Music Hall at Fenway Boston MAListen for that earworm riff Peter picks up on Vibe. Excellent sustained peak.
2024-09-06Pancakes18:14Goose Saratoga Performing Arts Center Saratoga Springs NYReminiscent of the Mann "Tumble" in its pulsating major-key groove with Peter on marimba piano - though the emotion isn't nearly as impactful.
2024-09-06Arrow26:36Goose Saratoga Performing Arts Center Saratoga Springs NYPeter hangs back for most of the jam on subtle OB-6 work, which gives Rick and Cotter the room they need to DOMINATE. A propulsive and dark theme emerges with Rick on nonstop momentum, using Cotter's full-steam-ahead groove to destroy everything in his path. Blasts back into a high-energy finish.
2024-09-07Hungersite24:49Goose Saratoga Performing Arts Center Saratoga Springs NYEschews the typical Type I "Hungersite" peak and shifts immediately into gorgeous bliss. Rick weaves some incredible earworm melodies to a peak before the band quiets, beginning a LONG and patient build to a final explosion. Excellent use of phaser piano from Peter.
2024-09-07Drive20:53Goose Saratoga Performing Arts Center Saratoga Springs NYAfter some quick dual-guitar riffing, Peter pivots to OB-6 and transforms the jam within a few seconds. The band goes full Ted Tapes for a while, luxuriating in an almost "Dragonfly"-like space, before Rick steers into a build based around a repeating melody. Taking on qualities similar to the final section of the 4/14/23 "Hungersite," Goose delivers one of the most breathtakingly beautiful peaks of their career to date.
2024-09-09This Old Sea19:09Goose Ting Pavilion Charlottesville VAThe first “Sea” with the hypnotic rearranged vocal outro. Rick leads out of that bridge as the band carries the melody beneath, casually jamming toward a beautiful peak that summons more oohs and ahhs before breaking into a classic “Sea” jam. Pete layers synth over effected vintage vibes, enabling the best of what “Seas” can do: It explores space while embracing quieter dynamics, steadily escalating into a full-band-jammed power ballad. This one still had room to run when it dropped into “Interlude II.”
2024-09-11Echo of a Rose16:16Goose Salt Shed, The Chicago ILNo forgiveness needed in this standout version. September 2024 was a great month for short-yet-deep "Echo" jams.
2024-09-11Wysteria Lane20:17Goose Salt Shed, The Chicago ILThe rhythm section is king in this jam, going from spacey psychedelia to driving funk. Cotter and Trevor push forward and Jeff jumps in on tambourine at the perfect time. Great full-band grooving.
2024-09-11Madhuvan18:06Goose Salt Shed, The Chicago ILDealer’s choice between “Madhulama Ding Dong,” “Shama Lama Madhuvan,” and “Shama Lama Madhudong.” Whatever you call this gorgeous version, let its blissy jam with the “Shama” call-backs wash over you as it did the Chicago crowd on a gorgeous summer evening.
2024-09-12A Western Sun17:51Goose Salt Shed, The Chicago ILJazz juggernaut Julian Lage sits in and grabs immediate attention with a gorgeously improvised intro guitar solo in the second consecutive jammed out version of AWS after a 2 year absence. The lead guitarists eschew the typical sit-in dogfight by bolstering each other’s playing with creative musical underscores, offering ample room to the other to work their magic.
2024-09-12Thatch19:33Goose Salt Shed, The Chicago ILShades of 6/19/21 "Madhuvan" and 11/18/23 "All I Need" as the band cools things off and flips on a tension/release alternating jam.
2024-09-13Borne19:23Goose Salt Shed, The Chicago ILStandard fare until the final few minutes when the band collapses into a dark and ambient loop-filled zone.
2024-09-13Dripfield22:39Goose Salt Shed, The Chicago ILThis Drip escapes the typical type 1 riffing right off the bat and leads into a thunderous take on the familiar That’s All jamming theme. The jam drifts even further from home into an ethereal dreamscape that has a tide-like quality. The undulating ebb and flow is evoked by the sophisticated full-band exploration of dynamics ranging from soft to sonorous.
2024-09-13Arcadia9:04Goose Salt Shed, The Chicago ILThe "Zaltcadia."
2024-09-14Rockdale18:26Goose Armory, The Minneapolis MNInfusing the 'dale with "Dragonfly" vibes? Sign us up for more of this please! This powerful "Rockdale" is the clear highlight of this set and gave fans in the Twin Cities a taste of what to expect in the upcoming second frame.
2024-09-14Drive19:49Goose Armory, The Minneapolis MNPeter and Trevor lead the way initially with the former on Vintage Vibe. Moves from a slower and spacier mode to balls-to-the-walls peaking that will have you running through several brick walls.
2024-09-15All I Need17:07Goose Vibrant Music Hall Waukee IAA particularly ferocious churn gives way to a whimsical lilting progression akin to the bonus jam in the fan-favorite 3/26/23 version.
2024-09-15Earthling or Alien?23:52Goose Vibrant Music Hall Waukee IASerious early funk puts the power of reverb/envelope filter clav on display. Picks up energy and speed before blazing through an excellent peak atop a roaring wave of synth. Second half of an excellent first-set 1-2 punch with the preceding "All I Need."
2024-09-15The Empress Of Organos21:38Goose Vibrant Music Hall Waukee IAThe Taco Town of “Empresses.” We start with the top slice: an unprecedented six-minute pre-verse intro jam. Then, savor the thick, crunchy layer after Trevor’s bass solo. You think you’ve reached the meat, but then you’re swept into a “River” of “Greens.” Think we’re done? Not quite. The real core of this sandwich is the bottom half, with “Empress” returning for a jam-packed, savory finish that ties it all together.
2024-09-15The Empress Of Organos12:05Goose Vibrant Music Hall Waukee IAThe bottom half of the "Empress" sandwich starts with the same layer that topped the "Green River" center. The band settles into a steady, chill groove, with Rick’s digital sauce poured over Pete’s thick layer of vintage vibes. This section is light but thick, a monolith revealing a slightly spicy aftertaste before dissolving into brief almost "Flowdown"-like dissonance. A final dark spread evocative of Mario’s underworld theme, coats the bottom slice’s closing verses and composed finish.
2024-09-17Time to Flee13:27Goose Great Saltair, The Magna UTRick hangs back with some atypical bluesy riffing. Not crazy long but unique.
2024-09-17SALT18:24Goose Great Saltair, The Magna UTIn its first truly extended outing for this song, a propulsive ominous groove is eventually harnessed by a sustained Seger-esque BDE rock explosion. Goose fans have been put on notice that regardless of constant name changes, whatever we're calling this song it can and will jam!
2024-09-17Echo of a Rose17:38Goose Great Saltair, The Magna UT-> out of "Kylie" to complete a power hour of excellent flow. Builds in a linear fashion with the band all working in perfect lockstep. Listen for Trevor at the peak!!
2024-09-19One In, One Out16:05Goose Kettlehouse Amphitheater Bonner MTExcellent chunky clav jam on the first outside-the-box version of this song.
2024-09-19Wysteria Lane14:19Goose Kettlehouse Amphitheater Bonner MTBeautifully grimy two-guitar jam covers an insane amount of ground in its 14 minutes. Gets churning and evil and seems to be far from over when a major-key modulation winds up in an abrupt segue into the Goose debut of "True Love Waits."
2024-09-19Rosewood Heart14:53Goose Kettlehouse Amphitheater Bonner MTDo YOU like thick funk jams? Look no further.
2024-09-20Indian River16:32Goose Kettlehouse Amphitheater Bonner MTStandard Delta jam until the last few minutes, where things get evil and Rick and Peter chase each other up and down wild and dissonant riffs. Amazing but gone too soon as Rick initiates a segue into "Big Modern!"
2024-09-20Big Modern!18:05Goose Kettlehouse Amphitheater Bonner MTPeter gets some really cool synth waves out of the Nord Stage toward the end here, but Rick brings things back home before they can get too crazy.
2024-09-21Earthling or Alien?15:08Goose Remlinger Farms Carnation WAModulates quickly into an efficient and beautiful hose jam.
2024-09-21Borne20:05Goose Remlinger Farms Carnation WASeventeen months younger and still cutting his teeth, Eugene's baby brother enchants the neighboring northwest with a worthy, if less mature, reprise. Built on a bed of vintage vibes and a steady, pulsing bassline, the performance explores a richly textured, atmospheric space as Rick patiently vamps until finding a hook around the 14-minute mark. For the last few minutes, the band shifts to a dancier chordal groove that never fully realizes its potential, dissolving instead into "Turned Clouds."
2024-09-21Everything Must Go15:10Goose Remlinger Farms Carnation WAAnother great S1 closer that starts forebodingly with some minor key piano and is driven forward by tribalistic drumming. After a little tension, Rick settles back gently and melodically before band patiently and collectively builds up to EMG’s typical ripping conclusion. Cotter truly shines throughout
2024-09-21Drive16:43Goose Remlinger Farms Carnation WAGrungy double guitar rock and roll takes a magical tour through blisstown. Gorgeous melodic finish before slipping into "Electric Avenue." Very reminiscent of the SPAC version from earlier in the month.
2024-09-21Red Bird20:52Goose Remlinger Farms Carnation WAMachine gun fire drowns out the engines roar as the vehicle veers off the road in a raging inferno. Speed up. Target marked. Repeat. Targets in the rear view spin out in perfectly timed oil slicks. Patterns repeat mechanically as the G-6155 races, explosions mirroring the pits of our drivers eyes. A boat house looms on the horizon as a helicopter blasts impassable craters in the road ahead. Now airborne our driver ignites and spins skyward shrieking as whirling blades & debris plummet toward scorched earth.
2024-09-21Hungersite14:01Goose Remlinger Farms Carnation WAEcstasy. Infectious optimism. Pure Joy. Rick finds a repeating hook at 7:45 that he builds around before an explosion of guitar Rock Goddery. Every time you think he's found the apex of energy within the peak, he unlocks a new level of earworm shredding. He then slows down, brilliantly going back into the earlier riff before deciding to hose down the crowd one last time. This song DELIVERS as a set closer.
2024-09-22Look Out Cleveland17:02Goose Edgefield Concerts on the Lawn Troutdale ORGreat section later in the jam akin to the Westville "Rockdale," a demented and askew motif thanks to Cotter's urging.
2024-09-22Creatures22:30Goose Edgefield Concerts on the Lawn Troutdale ORSome heavier riffing in the latter half of the jam makes this version stand out from the 2024 pack.
2024-09-22Arrow24:06Goose Edgefield Concerts on the Lawn Troutdale OREqual parts vibesy vibes, angular reverse delay, Big T fulcrum lines, cyclonic tribal toms, digital sauce, and staccato guitar attack, all culminating in a plucked-from-thin-air melody for Rick's closing solo, permuted several times before dissolving into the composed ending. Sultrily stirred.
2024-09-24Pancakes33:17Goose Cuthbert Amphitheater Eugene ORTypical breakfast for the first 15 or so minutes until the band locks in on a jazz-rock motif similar to "Switchin'." Peter takes an atypically aggressive approach to organ for a sustained peak section that builds momentum to a fever pitch. At Rick's urging, things get heavy through a thrashy peak before things cool off into a final bliss section. Peter makes a valiant attempt at a "Loose Ends" segue but Rick says no and brings us home. Incredible journey.
2024-09-24Tumble21:38Goose Cuthbert Amphitheater Eugene ORSpaces out from the initial funk with Peter laying down thick guitar chords. Seems to be firmly sticking to a peaky Type 1.5 zone when a huge build takes a hard left turn into ambient space atop Cotter's churning snare, Trevor colouring with high-register melodies. Rick brings things down into some major-key riffing and Peter picks up the intensity with a turn into klezmer-ish piano jamming.
2024-09-26Madhuvan24:13Goose Cal Coast Credit Union Amphitheater San Diego CATwo-guitar Goose reflects the first light of sunrise, its shamanic texture a tribute to the crisp dawn. The band patiently floats in that space before shifting into a frenetic and exploratory Ted-like jam. Returning to the song structure, Pete transitions to punctuated keys, inviting Rick into a cyclical step-jam typical of “Madhuvans.” With callbacks to the earlier “Mais Que Nada,” Rick builds to a deliberate peak, both provoked and matched by Trevor’s fierce, Cliff Burton-like bassline.
2024-09-27Echo of a Rose11:57Goose Greek Theatre Los Angeles CAAnother example of quality over quantity - quickly dives into a dark and eerie motif with reverb and delay-drenched clav dominating the space alongside Rick's digital sauce. Gets abandoned a bit prematurely for "No California" but is well worth a listen.
2024-09-27Big Modern!21:19Goose Greek Theatre Los Angeles CAAdventurous version cycles through a few different chord progressions and ideas, but the real landmark moment here is the prominence of Jeff's Bob Weir-like guitar stabs. Very audible on the SBD and a very welcome addition to the improv.
2024-09-27Dripfield27:01Goose Greek Theatre Los Angeles CABreathtakingly gorgeous jam and a prime example of what a mid-set "Drip" is capable of. The band relaxes and floats down into a quiet major-key space, Peter colouring around Rick's melodies with serene OB-6 textures. The band displays atypical restraint through the beauty and things eventually come to an end with a hot "Yeti" sandwich.
2024-10-04Thatch15:36Goose Memphis Botanical Gardens Memphis TNAggressive Rick and nice tension-building.
2024-10-24Into the Myst26:46Goose Ascend Amphitheater Nashville TNTypical 2024 "Saints" jamming hits a solid peak before downshifting into several minutes of cool groovy funk. Peter in particular covers some subtle sonic ground on organ here. The band pivots into bliss and builds beautifully into THE DROP just after 24 minutes. Excellent version that breaks the monotony "Myst" jams had been getting into.
2024-10-25The Empress Of Organos12:51Goose Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum Winston-Salem NCBand slides into a few minutes of dark play in an atypical manner than usual before making a nice "Moby" sandwich.
2024-10-25Tumble13:27Goose Lawrence Joel Veterans Memorial Coliseum Winston-Salem NCRELENTLESS version with "Axel F" and "You Spin Me Round" teases to telegraph the upcoming Halloween show.
2024-10-26Big Modern!21:43Goose Avondale Brewing Company Birmingham ALBalancing audacity and restraint, this jam showcases Rick’s knack for running wild with freshly unearthed ideas. As the song leaves its post-verse melody, Rick introduces a palm-muted staccato line, tinkering before shifting to double time and weaving it into the opening melody. By 14 minutes, the jam plunges into a darker, synth-laden space, with Cotter steering the refashioned groove into shadowy depths. The melody returns as a blissy yet thunderous psalmic exploration that segues to the composed close.
2024-10-26Can't Get You Out Of My Head14:27Goose Avondale Brewing Company Birmingham ALCold Rain and Kylie!
2024-10-29Borne22:16Goose Fillmore Miami Beach, The Miami FLReturn of the slow jam for the first time since 2023 languishes in a synth-haze for a while before Cotter picks up the pace and the band unleashes an excellent "Factory Fiction"-like peak.
2024-10-29Pancakes23:13Goose Fillmore Miami Beach, The Miami FLSauce over syrup in this version as Rick goes deep into his bag of tricks. Trevor is super active throughout as well.
2024-10-29Butter Rum15:42Goose Fillmore Miami Beach, The Miami FLMuch like the 9/26/23 "Yeti" in that it shifts away from typical play into a dance party three-chord jam for its duration.
2024-10-30All I Need17:31Goose Fillmore Miami Beach, The Miami FLThe last few minutes of this jam feature some of the most gorgeous ambient major-key play from the band to date. Will blow your mind until Rick decides to pull a -> into "White Lights."
2024-10-31Running Up That Hill16:32Goose St. Pete Pier, The St. Petersburg FLPunishing and primal jam that would be right at home in a "Dripfield."
2024-11-01Tumble21:55Goose St. Augustine Amphitheatre, The St. Augustine FLThe first half unfolds as quintessential 2024 “Tumble,” delivering its upbeat, major-key, danceable funk. Around 11 minutes, Rick takes the reins, steering into darker, exploratory space. With a probing lead, he unearths a hook, looping and variating it over Cotter’s rolling toms. By 16 minutes, with the sections fully baked, Cotter propels the jam with increased tempo and intricacy. Rick rides the momentum into a sprawling, “So Ready”-styled jam before dropping into “Tumble’s” composed ending.
2024-11-01Red Bird16:15Goose St. Augustine Amphitheatre, The St. Augustine FLBarney: “Have you arranged for transportation?” Vivian: “I’m gonna call a cab.” B: “Allow me. Darryl, please take Ms Vivian anywhere she wishes to go… It’s been a pleasure knowing you. Come and visit us again sometime.” V: “Stay cool.” [a montage in the back of the limo set to a haunted descending 3 note pattern as Vivian fondly recalls immolating Edward whilst devouring his skull, arms hugging the human form abdomen and the seed planted within as smoldering eyes glance across the doomed city scrolling by.]
2024-11-02Draconian Meter Maid13:08Goose St. Augustine Amphitheatre, The St. Augustine FLStandard charging bliss until things quiet for the last few minutes. Rick, Peter, and Trevor engage in an intricate dance around each other's melodies with late 2024 maturity.
2024-11-02Rockdale15:07Goose St. Augustine Amphitheatre, The St. Augustine FLAn early peak leads to Cotter pushing into a double-time groove. Peter gets wild on Moog before the band builds up into a glory zone to close out the set.
2024-11-02Thatch17:53Goose St. Augustine Amphitheatre, The St. Augustine FLPrecursor to what will come in Cincy a week later, the band lets the groove dictate where things will go before getting into an excellent peak, though it stays pretty close to "Thatch" form throughout.
2024-11-02Dripfield22:46Goose St. Augustine Amphitheatre, The St. Augustine FLThrashing initial peak breaks into a blissy major key. Rick builds a familiar motif to a second excellent apex before the band executes a surprise segue into "Shama."
2024-11-07Madhuvan14:08Goose Petersen Events Center Pittsburgh PAGorgeous slow bliss à la "Morning Dew" patiently develops before fading into "Travelers."
2024-11-08Elizabeth11:53Goose Andrew J Brady Music Center Cincinnati OHSimple but effective clav riff from Peter informs this always-reliable first set energy boost.
2024-11-08Flodown11:04Goose Andrew J Brady Music Center Cincinnati OHNot your standard "Flo" as the band breaks into a few minutes of dark jamming on the intro.
2024-11-08Big Modern!21:50Goose Andrew J Brady Music Center Cincinnati OHIncredible example of the November 2024 hey-hole jamming. Riffs get thrown around early by Rick, Peter, and Trevor while Jeff colours on guitar. Pivots from there into a patient peak build that picks up steam and explodes for an awesome finish.
2024-11-08Thatch21:05Goose Andrew J Brady Music Center Cincinnati OHPeter pulls several incredible earworms out of nowhere early on as Rick hangs back on minimalist rhythm. Trevor suggests a progression that will inform the rest of the jam as all five band members listen incredibly closely to each other. The key here is restraint from Rick - and when he finally lets go for the peak, it's nothing short of spectacular. MUST-HEAR.
2024-11-08The Old Man's Boat13:50Goose Andrew J Brady Music Center Cincinnati OHFirst significant Boat in a LONG time goes AGGRESSIVE funk. Rick alternates between sharp MuTron and distorted leads while Peter sets up a slick arpeggiator. Punchy Vintage Vibe then carries things before spacing out and coasting atop the twinkling space sounds into an equally as dancey "Fish in the Sea."
2024-11-08Fish In The Sea13:07Goose Andrew J Brady Music Center Cincinnati OHBingo “FITS” finally meets its match, stepping into the ring like Tyson facing Paul. The lockdown-tested heavyweight takes on Cincy’s arpeggiated, perennially online underdog — brimming with digital flair, youthful creativity, nimble footwork, and fog machine bravado. It’s a decision by points, with this scrappy “Fish” revealing new motifs, layers, sounds and overall vibes for one of the best covers in the catalogue.
2024-11-08Pancakes15:32Goose Andrew J Brady Music Center Cincinnati OHDeceptively short runtime. The band goes in a different direction than usual and slows things waaaaay down, only to build back up. Really cool use of 15 minutes.
2024-11-09Draconian Meter Maid19:28Goose Andrew J Brady Music Center Cincinnati OHEarly aggressive clav work from Peter glides smoothly through a peak before things shift into a contemplative mode. A repeating riff on marimba piano allows for Trevor to really stick out around Cotter's insistent drumming and Rick's subtle riffing.
2024-11-09Arrow20:25Goose Andrew J Brady Music Center Cincinnati OHA thick, grimy soundscape with heavily distorted vibes, Trevor in beast mode, Rick Marshall stack-like overdriven vamping, and a handful of perfectly-placed Jebb bass bombs. A sonic full-frontal assault. If War on Drugs covered “Arrow,” it would sound like this.
2024-11-09Jeff Engborg14:52Goose Andrew J Brady Music Center Cincinnati OHPart of an absolutely flawless second set, the most adventurous "Engborg" to date explodes out of "Running Up That Hill" as the band plays with dynamics on the jam. Peter adds some synth before Rick pulls us back into peak mode, blows the roof off the Brady Center, and fades unfinished into "Sinnerman."
2024-11-09Into the Myst12:55Goose Andrew J Brady Music Center Cincinnati OHEschews the standard 2024 "Saints" motif in favour of a slow and breathtakingly gorgeous jam. Peter leans hard into the Vintage Vibe as Rick pours an incredible amount of emotion into his solo.
2024-11-10A Western Sun17:37Goose Andrew J Brady Music Center Cincinnati OHMid-jam switch from acoustic to electric by Rick coasts through a solid peak.
2024-11-10Rockdale15:36Goose Andrew J Brady Music Center Cincinnati OHAt a svelte 15 minutes, one of the year’s most satisfying and efficient performances. Out of the verses, it drops immediately into a patient half-time jam undergirded by sultry organ and Big T funk. Channeling David Gilmour, Rick fills space with the fewest possible notes, crafting an ethereal soundscape. Lead guitar takes to the fore with a bluesy jam that dissolves into a brief Rush-like prog passage before building to a satisfying tension-and-release peak.
2024-11-10Red Bird26:08Goose Andrew J Brady Music Center Cincinnati OHA bonded pair of Entities strafe over the abandoned capital city raining molten cataclysmic destruction and salted earth. Time skipping through the ether bubble we emerge underground to witness VOID then the faint glow of long-dead embers reignited in a haunting pulse of malevolent shades of red and sparkling whites. Coalescing to crystalline form the patterns blink in ancient code as structure takes form stretching outward sprouting into a vast shallow sea of shimmering fractalien beauty. Life finds a way.
2024-11-12Earthling or Alien?18:22Goose Anthem, The Washington DCPivots out of funk into excellent full-band bliss.
2024-11-13Big Modern!23:37Goose Anthem, The Washington DCEarly clav funk shifts into an atmospheric zone with excellent chordal work from Jeff on guitar. Rick really pours on the gas toward the end as the explosive peak fades unfinished into "Whip It."
2024-11-13Thatch18:12Goose Anthem, The Washington DCStandard ragefest notable for its dip into Westville "Rockdale" territory for some unsettling runs ahead of the final peak.
2024-11-13Big Modern!11:33Goose Anthem, The Washington DCEmerges in the midst of the encore to finish the version from earlier in the show, then jams out into some grooving organ funk with Cotter going nuts on his kit. Rick leads confidently into a very different kind of shreddy peak that eventually builds into the finish of "Empress." Really cool and unique space.
2024-12-13Arcadia17:24Goose North Charleston Coliseum & Performing Arts Center North Charleston SCFirst truly adventurous "Arcadia" since 2021 sees the band lead through a bliss section reminiscent of 6/11/21. Huge energy and momentum through a bonus couple minutes of exploration before returning home.
2024-12-13Hungersite21:15Goose North Charleston Coliseum & Performing Arts Center North Charleston SCAll the 2024 "Hungersite" jams were leading to this moment. Absolute masterclass in restraint and gradual ramp-up from Cotter as Peter finds a simple phrase on the clav to repeat dreamily for several minutes. When the peak comes, it barely seems like the energy needs to ramp up, but it's just the cathartic conclusion needed. Unfortunate bingo ball pull for "Flodown" can't even dampen the ending.
2024-12-14Jam7:29Goose North Charleston Coliseum & Performing Arts Center North Charleston SCWith Rick and Peter off on their flamingos, Trevor leads the way with an earworm bass riff atop some excellent aggressive drumming from Cotter and Jeff. The rest of the band eventually returns for the pull of "+14 Minute Jam" where the band heads into some incredible play.
2024-12-14Jam16:29Goose North Charleston Coliseum & Performing Arts Center North Charleston SCA dual-part beast that rides the momentum from "Flamingos" into an evil death march. With a mandated amount of time left on the clock, the band builds in unision to a gorgeous bliss peak, breaking for some speed-clav funk ahead of a gradual slowdown and all-timer -> into "Rockdale." Must-hear.
2024-12-14Rockdale14:39Goose North Charleston Coliseum & Performing Arts Center North Charleston SCThe moment where the "short jam" clicked for Goose. Coming off of the incredible "+14 Minute Jam," the band gets spacey in the initial funk zone before a BEAUTIFUL transition into a bed of piano-dominated major mode. Builds back into the ending peak from there with nary a wasted second.
2024-12-14Creatures19:53Goose North Charleston Coliseum & Performing Arts Center North Charleston SCFor the first time in a long time, we get dual-guitar "Creatures" jamming - and it's awesome. Gnarly and gritty work from Peter really highlights this dance party.
2024-12-14Slow Ready7:38Goose North Charleston Coliseum & Performing Arts Center North Charleston SCPeter on guitar for the first time in "Slow," adding an excellent dimension to the arpeggiator jam.
2024-12-30Big Modern!18:43Goose Moody Center Austin TXFlows out of the song proper like the Anthem encore "reprise" version rather than the usual Vintage Vibe break, creating a different kind of momentum as the band enters the jam. Telepathic interplay on full display through the exploration before segueing -> into "Animal" unfinished.
2024-12-30Draconian Meter Maid14:08Goose Moody Center Austin TXBreathtakingly gorgeous space-ambient zone at the beginning gives way to a wave of clav. The band's insane level-up of December 2024 in one 14-minute package.
2024-12-31Thatch16:25Goose Moody Center Austin TXSilky smooth late-2024 transition hardly needs any time within "Thatch" proper before the improv unfurls like a flower into a gorgeous bliss jam. Coasts along effortlessly before dissolving unfinished for the first time ever into an encore break-spanning synth drone.
2025-02-06Drive20:27Goose Miller High Life Theatre Milwaukee WIThe late-blooming younger brother of 24's monstrous high-school quarterback and homecoming king, "Cap Drive." The sibling resemblance is unmistabkle, with the same prominent good looks and form. But while 24's two-guitar Goose section immediately unleashes a colossal wall of sound, this one ambles through the halls of adolescent uncertainty before finally finding its senior-year stride — ignited by Rick’s delicate yet forceful guitar-work, Pete’s sudden organ attack, and Cotter’s thunderous drumming.
2025-02-06SALT13:58Goose Miller High Life Theatre Milwaukee WI"Pancakes"-ish major-key peak jam guaranteed to bring a smile to your face with its breakneck momentum.
2025-02-06Atlas Dogs16:26Goose Miller High Life Theatre Milwaukee WIRick finds the "Tarantella Napoletana" jam he loves so much in extended versions of "Atlas Dogs" and builds it to a fiery peak. Cools and eventually winds into a beautiful segue -> to a standout "Animal."
2025-02-06Animal16:19Goose Miller High Life Theatre Milwaukee WIThe most remarkable thing about this “Animal” is how unexpectedly non-"Animal" it reads. A listener jumping in blindly right after the verses could easily get lost in the sauce of a typical “Arcadia” jam. We find Ricky doing that trademark Ricky thing, with a gradual sustained build patiently transforming a simple musical idea into a high-energy, major-key bliss explosion. This rendition portends of only good things for “Animal," quite possibly as the next big jam vehicle.
2025-02-07Atlas17:18Goose Miller High Life Theatre Milwaukee WIMost exploratory version to date hangs in some low-key funk out of the gate. Peter hits some squishy synth as Rick takes to wah - but washes of OB-6 quickly spaces things out and the band expands outward into a gorgeous zone where Rick pulls on the "One In, One Out" melody to take us home through a final peak.
2025-02-07The Empress Of Organos23:33Goose Miller High Life Theatre Milwaukee WIDark and shreddy, Rick really dominates this cool outside-the-box version. Stays in one space for a large portion, and goes, unfinished, into "California Magic" just as it sounds like the band is ready to explore a new idea.
2025-02-07Madhuvan20:34Goose Miller High Life Theatre Milwaukee WIFirst of two behemoth versions from Winter '25. Two-guitar Goose at its FINEST. Rick and Peter get scratchy as Trevor leads Cotter into a heavy and dark space. From there, it's all-out pandemonium as the band moves from one menacing idea to the next, shifting and evolving through tones as the tension just builds and builds. Explodes into a peaky section as Cotter RELENTLESSLY pushes the pace through the finish.
2025-02-08Into the Myst17:58Goose Miller High Life Theatre Milwaukee WIFirst show-opening version ever sets the tone for an incredible night with an efficient and well-paced peak jam.
2025-02-08Everything Must Go20:59Goose Miller High Life Theatre Milwaukee WIMassive first-set version heads from usual minor-key space into some classic Winter '25 musings, opening way up with dark Rick and Peter. Hits an early peak in a vicious mode before Cotter picks up the pace and things get intensely psychedelic. Reverb clav twines with guitar melodies as the two find a new tension-filled riff and let it simmer and boil before things hit a final wave of tension into the cathartic "EMG" ending. Your jaw will be on the floor.
2025-02-08Big Modern!20:20Goose Miller High Life Theatre Milwaukee WICelebratory, uplifting, and charging as the band coalesces around a single idea and rips through it in a way that will have you punching the roof of your car in excitement. Phenomenal set-closing peak in an absolutely incredible show that fades out unfinished.
2025-02-08Fish In The Sea19:08Goose Miller High Life Theatre Milwaukee WIAn immediate GOAT contender, this longest-to-date “FITS” sits shoulder to shoulder with Bingo and Taboose versions. The conventional arpeggiated theme and rock-anthem guitar hero riff are swiftly eschewed in favor of a re-sequenced “Stranger Things”-inspired synth line. Pete layers commanding piano and evocative vibes to create a lush sonic bed over which Rick unleashes an expansive solo evoking 90s-era Santana.
2025-02-08Same Old Shenanigans21:05Goose Miller High Life Theatre Milwaukee WIFirst version to break free of its boundaries carries the energy of the surprise jammed-out "FITS" that came right before. Upbeat, rocking, and celebratory, the band never strays too far into the unknown but keeps up some amazing energy throughout before winding its way home. Possibly an indication that there are plans for bigger excursions in the future...
2025-02-08Hungersite19:03Goose Miller High Life Theatre Milwaukee WIGets minor, dark, and Westville "Rockdale"-y with all the best notes. Frenetic and uneasy piano gets cloudy among busy work from Rick as Cotter propels the whole thing. Quiets after a spell and seems to be building to a huge major-key explosive finish, but the band stays minor and Peter pours on some distorted clav as they crash through a final peak and fade > to "Dripfield" before you have time to collect your thoughts.
2025-02-10Earthling or Alien?19:54Goose HISTORY Toronto ONLow-key funk eventually dissolves into a propulsive-yet-ambient space coloured by Peter's reverb clav. Rick goes into his loops as Peter throws out the "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" intro lick before gutiar returns to the fray with an intensely psychedelic Mu-Tron peak.
2025-02-10Tumble20:31Goose HISTORY Toronto ONPretty standard 20-minute peaky "Tumble" gets bolstered by Winter 2025 dissonance seeping into the tension builds toward the end. Would not be notable in 2024 but it's is a different band on this tour.
2025-02-10Pancakes24:20Goose HISTORY Toronto ONCotter is the star in the punishing first half. Once the first peak has been exhausted, the band seems to be setting up a segue but instead opts for several minutes of gorgeous major-key play before cooling off into "A Western Sun."
2025-02-10All I Need11:06Goose HISTORY Toronto ONOne of the best "short" jams Goose has ever played. Nasty, dark, brooding - the whole package. We only can dream of where this would have gone beyond 11 minutes, but the band opts to pull into a truncated "Wysteria" somewhat abruptly.
2025-02-11Butter Rum14:37Goose HISTORY Toronto ONFeel-good disco show-opening jam. No warm-up needed here.
2025-02-11Arcadia19:56Goose HISTORY Toronto ONOpening a second set for the first time in nearly two years, "Arc" picks up right where Goosemas and Milwaukee left off with an adventurous jam. While it still retains a sense of the song for its duration, Peter leads the way into intense psychedelia with heavy Moog Muse usage as Rick augments his tone and does the same. Absolutely incredible sustained energy in this one.
2025-02-11Rosewood Heart18:51Goose HISTORY Toronto ONHailing from Canada after its longest gap in several years, this "Hoserwood" delivers "Rosewood's" finest performance since at least the Cap in 2024. Immediately launching into an upbeat, high-energy, hose jam imbued with a bluesy, Allman-esque rock vibe, it eventually downshifts to near silence. From there, a thundering percussive segment builds with a Middle Eastern-accented theme reminiscent of a "Tumble" jam, ultimately ending rather abruptly and unceremoniously.
2025-02-13Time to Flee17:09Goose GLC Live at 20 Monroe Grand Rapids MIBreaking the longest stretch on the bench since its debut, this "Flee" departs standard play quickly thanks to Rick diving into loops. Creating a hypnotic atmosphere in tandem with the repeating sounds, Peter lays down some piano riffs as we stretch out. Cotter lays in some excellent cymbal washes before upping the tempo and energy while Rick takes us through a seriously blistering peak. Fades atop the toms and slides -> into "Atlas Dogs."
2025-02-13Everything Must Go20:34Goose GLC Live at 20 Monroe Grand Rapids MIPleasant major-key space evolves quickly with Rick on some very purposeful melodic leads overtop Peter's synth drone. Cools from there as the band finds a darker progression, Rick augments his tone, and we're off to the races. Some serious Rick fireworks as the energy ramps up, matched beautifully by Peter's repetitive piano work. Boils into a wild tension-build before coming home strong.
2025-02-13Arrow17:29Goose GLC Live at 20 Monroe Grand Rapids MICalls back to the 12/13/24 "Hungersite" in the way that Peter builds a repetitive soaring riff on clav for the first part. The band hits a beautiful peak before cooling into a minute of moody play akin to Ted Tapes cut "Arrokoth" before moving on to "Interlude II."
2025-02-13Mississippi Half-Step Uptown Toodeloo15:54Goose GLC Live at 20 Monroe Grand Rapids MIMajor key post-rock progressions into blistering crescendos? Sign us up for MORE. OF. THIS. PLEASE. Absolutely crushed this hallowed cover, making it their own in yet another whole new way.
2025-02-14Drive13:18Goose GLC Live at 20 Monroe Grand Rapids MITwo-guitar shred with a perfectly-executed "Ghostbusters" tease at the peak. Rolling momentum gets the show started nicely before an ultra clean -> into "Doc Brown."
2025-02-14Love Is A Battlefield10:23Goose GLC Live at 20 Monroe Grand Rapids MIEven the Benatar cover received a little extra mustard on this night. Peter lays down a bed of synth effects and bouyant vintage vibes for Rick to emote over, delivering a slowly woven lyrical crescendo thematically akin to the Schuyler Sisters theme in Hamilton, notably showcased in "Satisfied".
2025-02-14One In, One Out15:25Goose GLC Live at 20 Monroe Grand Rapids MISome of the best amorphous jamming yet. Fans of the Eugene "Borne" will enjoy this next phase in the evolution of the ambience/texture over melody/structure model. Peter's inpsirational synth work melds with full band to evoke the serene feeling of ice floes in the arctic gently undulating in the waves under the aurora borealis, while a pod of whales calls to the heavens. Rick tugs the OIOO theme back in over this 90's new age excursion in a truly stunning fashion, not a dry eye in the house, into "Animal".
2025-02-14Dripfield25:31Goose GLC Live at 20 Monroe Grand Rapids MIFirst version to ever open a second set and it's immediately right at home. Absolute two-guitar RAGEFEST cools off juat after the 16min mark but Cotter refuses to let the momentum fade and continues his all-out assault on the toms. Peter makes the switch to piano as Rick throws wah-delay riffs around and things explode through another phenomenal peak. Instead of a quick segue, the band then opts for a few minutes of gorgeous major-key play that acts as a prelude to a fantastic "This Old Sea."
2025-02-14This Old Sea17:36Goose GLC Live at 20 Monroe Grand Rapids MIThis first “Sea” of ‘25 jettisons the tender vocal reprise that had come to characterize some of ‘24’s finest voyages. The band steers toward the rolling, tempestuous format of past “Seas,” with Rick sprinkling southern rock-tinged runs over Cotter’s crashing waves. Calmer waters welcome a brief but gorgeous buoyant theme that signals landfall via a patient and perfect segue -> to "Creatures."
2025-02-14Hot Tea21:01Goose GLC Live at 20 Monroe Grand Rapids MIA "Hot Tea" encore for a Friday rager must be your average dance party...right? This absolutely unhinged version comes complete with Cotter and Trevor solo breaks before diving headlong into Westville "Rockdale" territory for several minutes of sustained dissonance. Just when you think it's time to rip back into the ending, the band finds a new vein of inspiration and continues to pour tension over everything. An all-timer performance.
2025-02-15(dawn)18:05Goose GLC Live at 20 Monroe Grand Rapids MIRepurposing the closing note of "Give It Time" as the first note of a surprise standalone "(dawn)", this unfinished version launches into a freeform jam at the mid-point (similarly to the jammed "SOS" the previous weekend in Milwaukee). Cotter keeps a propulsive gallop running underneath a pensive Allmans-y lead from Rick until a bluesy deconstruction leads into "Echo of a Rose".
2025-02-15Echo of a Rose11:58Goose GLC Live at 20 Monroe Grand Rapids MIThis incredibly efficient "Echo" wastes no time moving into the first of several themes explored during a brief but satisfying 12 minutes. Lightning fast and telepathic, the band bobs and weaves under some rare flat-picking from Rick. A rollicking cowbell-infused jam and a spacy meltdown transitioning into "Jive II" round out this quality-over-quantity jam. Don't skip this one!
2025-02-15Big Modern!24:11Goose GLC Live at 20 Monroe Grand Rapids MIAnother worthy entry into the saga of huge, peaky "Big Modern!" jams. Closes out this first set in style via some extra turns around the heavy ending.
2025-02-15Thatch19:21Goose GLC Live at 20 Monroe Grand Rapids MIThe younger sibling of 11/8/24. Peter summons a sampled ocean wave (no, seriously) and the band builds a linear-yet-exciting jam from nothing to an extended peak that Rick just won't let go.
2025-02-15Pancakes14:19Goose GLC Live at 20 Monroe Grand Rapids MIAfter an unremarkable first half to this relatively short 14-minute "Pancakes," the bottom half of the stack is downright delicious. Rick does that inimitable Rick thing, taking a simple melody and bending it into a euphoric, blissful segment. This shines most brightly at the 11:19 and 13:17 marks, where he runs that melody through cascading, waterfalling runs of pure musical liquid.
2025-02-15Madhuvan21:53Goose GLC Live at 20 Monroe Grand Rapids MIThe band goes HUGE on the encore for the second night in a row. Gets evil from the get-go with POUNDING Trevor and Cotter as Rick and Peter skip their usual spacey antics in favour of angular play. The tempo amps up and we are thrown headlong into Westville "Rockdale"-style space - edge-of-your-seat madness but with Peter on guitar. Trevor dials in synth effects as it gets crazier, the band setting their sights on the ending but getting there by way of several minutes of punishing darkness and wild sounds.
