Old Forester's Paristown Hall |
Louisville |
KY | Unique 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. |

9:30 Club |
Washington |
DC | As 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. |

Brooklyn Bowl |
Nashville |
TN | Experimental 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. |

Joy Theater |
New Orleans |
LA | First-ever unfinished Pancakes. Rick finds a psychedelic and spacey riff around the 11-minute mark and the band develops that excellently for the remainder of the jam. |

1STBANK Center |
Broomfield |
CO | Following 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. |

Salt Shed, The |
Chicago |
IL | After 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. |

Warfield, The |
San Francisco |
CA | Come for the typical rocking start and final peak, stay for the absolute beautiful melodic bliss around 11:45-14:45. |

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. |

Capitol Theatre, The |
Port Chester |
NY | Not 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. |

Red Hat Amphitheater |
Raleigh |
NC | Percussive 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. |

Westville Music Bowl |
New Haven |
CT | Emerging 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. |

Saratoga Performing Arts Center |
Saratoga Springs |
NY | Reminiscent of the Mann "Tumble" in its pulsating major-key groove with Peter on marimba piano - though the emotion isn't nearly as impactful. |

Cuthbert Amphitheater |
Eugene |
OR | Typical 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. |
