2021-06-15The Empress Of Organos19:54Goose Silver Lake Twin Drive-In Theatre Perry NYBreaks out of "Empress" proper into a driving groove. Peter hits the clav and things go to another level before Rick grabs hold and REALLY pours on the gas. Absolutely insane jam and peak before they take their time with the outro progression.
2021-11-12The Empress Of Organos21:49Goose Historic Scoot Inn Austin TXRick and Peter REALLY extend the intro with some solo-trading, Jeb gets "they're all bongos" treatment, and the whole jam just RAGES. Incredible version.
2022-01-29The Empress Of Organos18:53Goose Regency Ballroom, The San Francisco CAFairly standard minor-key groove that downshifts into a cool half-time segment with "Jive II" and "Don't Do It" teasing. Returns home for a strong finish.
2022-04-30The Empress Of Organos13:52Goose Sweetwater 420 Festival Atlanta GAThe name of the game is efficiency. Trevor plows forward into the minor key out of his solo and the drummers develop a deep pocket. Peter hits the clav and Rick hangs back for a while to let him rip before taking the reins himself. Goes straight for the jugular and doesn't let up for a second.
2022-06-25The Empress Of Organos18:14Goose Radio City Music Hall New York NYRick and Trey once again shine with their immediate guitar chemistry, harmonizing lick after lick and closing out the historic sit-in set with a boom.
2022-06-30The Empress Of Organos21:19Goose High Sierra Music Festival Quincy CAPeter expertly controls the mood on this festival highlight encore, moving the jam sections along from clav, to vibraphone/piano, to an unconventional and experimental arpeggiator transition into the ending breakdown.
2023-04-25The Empress Of Organos25:27Goose McDonald Theatre Eugene ORGetting 2nd set opener treatment, jam turns darker and more exploratory than we’ve seen from "Empress" to date after typical rocking start. After soaking in this space, Ben goes double time and Pete turns on lasers for shredding alien abduction.
2023-07-01The Empress Of Organos18:51Goose Nelson Ledges Quarry Park Garrettsville OHThe Umphress Of Organos (Umphrey’s McGee sit-in): after the typical beautiful Trevor solo, Joel Cummins & Pete trade off on keys wonderfully then hand over to Jake Cinninger & Rick for a diabolical, multi-part shredfest.
2023-07-07The Empress Of Organos21:48Goose Saratoga Performing Arts Center Saratoga Springs NYExtended, spicy Trevor and Peter solos to start the jam as crowd energy comes through the recording. Rick comes in hot for a minute but band decides to shift and explore. Dynamic, energetic rocking continues to build in intensity until darker chaos takes over, finally releasing into joyous finish. Will take set opener Empress any day!
2024-06-04The Empress Of Organos21:35Goose Factory, The Chesterfield MORick's new synth pedal gets a workout as the band plays the first of many amazing versions of "Empress" in summer '24. Late-night disco groove emerges, which will be a prevalent theme throughout the tour.
2024-06-26The Empress Of Organos17:35Goose Thompson's Point Portland MESqueezing in the encore before curfew, Goose defies expectations of a standard version and delivers a brutally evil jam section within "Empress."
2024-09-15The Empress Of Organos21:38Goose Vibrant Music Hall Waukee IAThe Taco Town of “Empresses.” We start with the top slice: an unprecedented six-minute pre-verse intro jam. Then, savor the thick, crunchy layer after Trevor’s bass solo. You think you’ve reached the meat, but then you’re swept into a “River” of “Greens.” Think we’re done? Not quite. The real core of this sandwich is the bottom half, with “Empress” returning for a jam-packed, savory finish that ties it all together.
2024-09-15The Empress Of Organos12:05Goose Vibrant Music Hall Waukee IAThe bottom half of the "Empress" sandwich starts with the same layer that topped the "Green River" center. The band settles into a steady, chill groove, with Rick’s digital sauce poured over Pete’s thick layer of vintage vibes. This section is light but thick, a monolith revealing a slightly spicy aftertaste before dissolving into brief almost "Flowdown"-like dissonance. A final dark spread evocative of Mario’s underworld theme, coats the bottom slice’s closing verses and composed finish.
