Coopers Lake |
Slippery Rock |
PA | Impossible not to listen to this version without a huge smile on your face. High-spirited, happy and melodic jamming with a fun peak. |

Lincoln Hall |
Chicago |
IL | Typical rocking Creatures jam until 15th minute where we see an early example of how they can devolve it blissfully. Gorgeous Rick soloing and finish. |

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". |

Higher Ground Drive-In at the Essex Junction Exposition Center |
Essex Junction |
VT | Grippo 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. |

Frederick Fairgrounds |
Frederick |
MD | First "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. |

Sculpture Park at Denver Performing Arts Center |
Denver |
CO | Rick at his absolute best. If you're looking for an example of Rick taking a jam by the balls, look no further than the last 4 minutes of this jam. |

Oak Ridge Farm |
Arrington |
VA | Standard ripping first jam that turns into almost a marching plinko jam before pretty resolution and ending. |

Riviera Theatre |
Chicago |
IL | Extended intro and creative groove fest. |
| 2022-03-03 | Creatures | 23:44 | Goose |
Fillmore, The |
Charlotte |
NC | Peter 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". |

Legend Valley |
Thornville |
OH | 6 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. |

Stubb's BBQ |
Austin |
TX | "Thriller"-style build (also sharing strong similarities with the 8/17 Dillon "Borne" build). |
| 2023-03-03 | Creatures | 16:09 | Goose |
Okeechobee Music Festival |
Okeechobee |
FL | Rocking jam with lots of great Vibe and synth from Peter eventually disintegrates into a minute or so of percussive play before -> to "Kylie." |
| 2023-03-10 | Creatures | 19:31 | Goose |
Capitol Theatre, The |
Port Chester |
NY | Standard until the last few minutes where the jam breaks into a serene and beautiful soundscape. Nice sly "Star Wars" tease from Peter. |
| 2023-04-23 | Creatures | 21:13 | Goose |
Paramount Theatre |
Seattle |
WA | Brought all the way down with around 9 minutes to go only to be slowly and melodically built back up. Joyous finish. |
| 2023-07-03 | Creatures | 20:20 | Goose |
Stone Pony Summer Stage |
Asbury Park |
NJ | Perfect 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. |

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. |

Hampton Coliseum |
Hampton |
VA | Standard 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. |
