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.
2019-11-16Arcadia22:22Goose 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.
2019-12-13Arcadia18:27Goose 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.
2020-09-17Arcadia16:07Goose South Farms Morris CTEncore/Final Song of an incredible show, this is one of the happiest, most melodic, pleasing jams you will hear before a fiery, passionate finish.
2021-05-04Arcadia13:30Goose Frederick Fairgrounds Frederick MDRick puts his new wah pedal through its paces. Serious tension.
2021-06-11Arcadia17:15Goose Northlands Live Swanzey NHOne of the best versions ever - the jam is like a drive with the top down on a summer afternoon. Pure joy.
2021-06-18Arcadia21:03Goose Legend Valley Thornville OHJune 2021's other mammoth "Arcadia" begins with a quick bathroom break from Rick as the jam starts. Picks up speed into a high-octane series of peaks before smashing down into the first performance of the "slow" ending. Never returns to the full peak but finishes beautifully.
2021-10-29Arcadia22:13Goose State Theater Portland MEStandard "Arcadia" fare for the majority, but the final section dives into a menacing and extended build, a great foreshadow to the Winter 2022 style of jamming.
2021-11-17Arcadia14:32Goose Truman, The Kansas City MOStandard jam fades into a GORGEOUS motif. You may not realize it initially, but it becomes clear that the segue -> to "Crosseyed and Painless" is imminent.
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. After return to song ending (watch video for “THE LOOK”), Denver is obliterated by one of their most majestic peaks in history.
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.
2022-03-05Arcadia19:10Goose Brooklyn Bowl Nashville TNTrevor leads the band into a jam that's almost like Phish's "Wolfman's Brother".
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.
2022-10-01Arcadia12:36Goose 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.
2022-11-11Arcadia15:04Goose Tsongas Center Lowell MAArtreydia Take 2 leads to more pronounced dual guitar interplay/confidence. Jam gets to the point faster than the first version yet still contains much of the same beauty.
2022-11-17Arcadia17:02Goose EagleBank Arena Fairfax VAPeter lays down a bed of Prophet synth as Rick steers the jam into three-chord bliss. Hearkening back to the 10/1 "Ragecadia," Spuds pushes the tempo and the band blazes into a series of peaks before explosively returning home.
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.
2023-03-11Arcadia19:40Goose 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.
2023-04-25Arcadia19:52Goose 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."
2023-04-29Arcadia16:13Goose 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.
2023-07-03Arcadia11:28Goose 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.
2023-12-09Arcadia13:58Goose 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.
2024-06-10Arcadia20:06Goose Steelhouse Omaha NEPure hose. There's not necessarily a need for exploration here as the band's excitement pours out into the celebratory music.
2024-09-13Arcadia9:04Goose Salt Shed, The Chicago ILThe "Zaltcadia."
