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.
2019-11-16Drive30:17Goose 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.
2019-12-08Drive23:22Goose 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.
2019-12-12Drive21:11Goose Lincoln Hall Chicago ILAnother great high energy and unwavering 2019 jam. Peaks wonderfully before sliding into Doc Brown.
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.
2020-10-02Drive25:45Goose Higher Ground Drive-In at the Essex Junction Exposition Center Essex Junction VTStandard groove in the second jam is accentuated by Peter's clav work.
2020-10-19Drive16:39Goose Frederick Fairgrounds Frederick MDRick needs to tune on the intro, so we get some extra vamping. Jam builds into spacey mode and gets into a great -> to "Doc Brown".
2021-07-02Drive20:10Goose Pines Music Park, The Eau Claire WI-> from "Slow Ready". Continues the perfect flow of this set with a great jam before leading -> into "Can't Get You Outta My Head" and "Mais Que Nada".
2021-07-07Drive20:10Goose Pine Creek Lodge Livingston MTSUPER-extended intro jam. Great guitar interplay.
2021-08-21Drive23:44Goose Oak Ridge Farm Arrington VAPeter shines on Vintage Vibe during the second jam.
2021-10-28Drive26:44Goose State Theater Portland MEPeter has a BLAST with his new wireless guitar setup - bouncing all around the stage while vamping off Rick throughout the long second jam.
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.
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.
2022-06-15Drive21:12Goose 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.
2022-11-11Drive16:21Goose 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."
2022-12-16Drive16:38Goose 1STBANK Center Broomfield COStandard "Drive" fare until the last few minutes, where Rick and Peter dive headlong into evil shred as Spuds drums his ASS off.
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.
2023-09-13Drive14:17Goose 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.
2023-09-22Drive19:31Goose 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."
2023-11-16Drive8:11Goose 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.
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.
2024-06-08Drive30:20Goose 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."
2024-06-21Drive22:26Goose 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."
2024-06-25Drive20:33Goose Thompson's Point Portland METhick and dirty dual-guitar work for its duration. Slides cleanly into "Hollywood Nights."
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.
2024-09-14Drive19:49Goose 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.
2024-09-21Drive16:43Goose 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.
