Mission Ballroom, The |
Denver |
CO | Much like the Terminal 5 "Look Out Cleveland", the Mission "Rockdale" just builds into this intense "Arcadia"-like jam and peaks spectacularly. |

Brooklyn Bowl |
Nashville |
TN | This 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. |

Agora Theater |
Cleveland |
OH | Jam 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. |

Legend Valley |
Thornville |
OH | Absolutely 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. |

Santander Arena |
Reading |
PA | Trey Anastasio sits in on a short but absolute rocking version of "Rockdale." One of the biggest peaks of the Trey sit-in jams. |

1STBANK Center |
Broomfield |
CO | Peter 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. |

Capitol Theatre, The |
Port Chester |
NY | Dark, 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. |

Met, The |
Philadelphia |
PA | Show-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. |
| 2023-03-30 | Rockdale | 19:02 | Goose |
Ryman Auditorium |
Nashville |
TN | Grungier jam gains momentum steadily and leads to energetic yet powerfully soulful crescendo into hose. |

Cal Coast Credit Union Amphitheater |
San Diego |
CA | Hints 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. |

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

Armory, The |
Minneapolis |
MN | Infusing 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. |

St. Augustine Amphitheatre, The |
St. Augustine |
FL | An 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. |

Andrew J Brady Music Center |
Cincinnati |
OH | At 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. |
