2019-04-19Wysteria Lane15:01Goose Down the Road Beer Co. Everett MAUpon departure from song proper, Peter lays down a HEAVY layer of guitar while Rick vamps in major key, giving the otherwise standard jam a really cool feel. Peter then switches to keys as they hit a pleasant space for the remainder.
2019-09-06Wysteria Lane18:50Goose Sprout Music Collective West Chester PAGorgeous groove (repeated in 12/6/19 "GB Rap") builds in intensity w/out losing its beauty. Glory peak at 11 ends with Rick returning to earlier groove. Shifts into more rocking style allowing more focus on each member before melting > Indian River.
2019-12-07Wysteria Lane21:50Goose Old Town Pub & Restaurant Steamboat Springs CONonstop dance party until they step on the gas in the last 5 minutes resulting in a fun, thrilling finish.

2020-10-15Wysteria Lane18:08Goose Legend Valley Thornville OHPeter really simmers on this jam. Groovy and dark-tinged.
2020-11-07Wysteria Lane15:35Goose South Farms Morris CTSwitches gears almost immediately with Spuds rocking the ride cymbal. Nonstop high-octane hose with "Hot Tea" teases from Rick.
2021-05-08Wysteria Lane12:16Goose Caverns Above Ground Amphitheater, The Pelham TNGets a lot done in its relatively short runtime though its potential could have been explored more. Followed by the debut of Ted Tapes cut "Moby".
2021-06-11Wysteria Lane16:56Goose Northlands Live Swanzey NHGets funkier than most versions and closes nicely with "Loose Ends".
2021-07-06Wysteria Lane18:56Goose Pine Creek Lodge Livingston MTJam settles into a driving two-guitar groove. Peter finds the Magic School Bus theme and they riff on it for a few minutes before a phenomenal -> to "Echo of a Rose".
2021-11-10Wysteria Lane25:00Goose House of Blues Houston TXLaid-back guitar churn for the first half makes a major modulation along with Peter's switch to Vibe. A pleasant and driving motif emerges thanks to propulsive drumming from Spuds and Jeff for the final minutes as Peter leads the way.
2021-11-21Wysteria Lane18:37Goose Mission Ballroom, The Denver COMelodic jamming slowly swelling particularly as Pete ramps up on second guitar. Seemingly coming to a grand finish, they take a lovely quieter approach for the final four minutes.
2022-01-30Wysteria Lane18:26Goose Regency Ballroom, The San Francisco CAMelodic soaring jam gives way to synthy darkness/heavy metal thrashing (begins ~10:45). Incredibly composed & patient swelling of dark jam before massive tension releases. One of Goose’s most significant jams signalling never-before-seen jamming style.
2022-03-01Wysteria Lane24:38Goose 9:30 Club Washington DCJam begins by hitting into a "Dripfield"-like theme that throws us into driving darkness. Space is whipped up as the motif reaches its apex. We come down on the other side with a classic rock-feeling jam that just grooves and rages to the end.
2022-03-07Wysteria Lane18:51Goose Mill & Mine, The Knoxville TNThe younger sibling of 1/30 and 3/1. Hits on dark themes but doesn't explore them to the same extent as the other two Winter 2022 behemoth "Wysteria".
2022-06-06Wysteria Lane25:56Goose Champlain Valley Exposition Essex Junction VTGrooving jam until switch to 2-guitars & there is a melodic march up to a lovely peak. Spacey synthy outro jam turns into 2nd jam with funk-filled finish. Listen for the genesis of the "Thatch" opening lick five months before the song's debut.
2022-08-17Wysteria Lane20:47Goose Dillon Amphitheatre Dillon COAbsolute perfect 2-guitar goose with both guitarists feeling it and toggling seamlessly between dark, penetrating and celebratory, frolicking jams and back again! It was a special jam where the crowd could sense greatness the moment they veered away from the song!
2022-10-11Wysteria Lane24:15Goose Arvest Bank Theater at the Midland Kansas City MOBand finds a very cool theme they build around and seem ready to wind down before Big T says NO (~17:40) and re-ignites the jam. Rick latches onto Trevor’s new theme, combining with old theme, and drives to a rocking finish.
2022-11-11Wysteria Lane16:25Goose Tsongas Center Lowell MATrey Anastasio sit-in. Shorter version for the year but contains absolutely gorgeous double-guitar interplay and bliss peak.
2022-12-16Wysteria Lane22:58Goose 1STBANK Center Broomfield COAiry groove develops early on when Peter makes the switch to keys. Trevor initiates a catchy hook and the band follows, developing the motif in an incredibly patient way. Jam pivots when Peter pulls the "Audience Group Hug" ball and Rick tears through a euphoric peak atop a wave of synthesizer. Fades into the perfect landing pad in "Moby."
2023-03-08Wysteria Lane17:50Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYFiery Type 1 jam breaks at 12:16 into open plane of space highlighted by Trevor Bass. A contemplative & melancholic jam emerges, bringing to mind Talk Talk and The Cure, centered around gorgeous leads from Rick & Peter before > to "Doobie."
2023-03-30Wysteria Lane27:57Goose Ryman Auditorium Nashville TNWhat’s better than a gorgeous patient Eminence Front-like building peak? How about a brilliant cooldown only to build up to a raging, frenetic second peak!
2023-04-13Wysteria Lane20:49Goose Sylvee, The Madison WIExcellent listening / subtleness w/ combination of melodic, grunginess & darkness, as Peter shifts sounds w/ various effects on guitar and keys. Trevor, Ben & Jeff also active as Rick hangs back in support until 16th minute driving a ripping peak.
2023-04-21Wysteria Lane24:05Goose Knitting Factory Boise IDDrummers lock in on the primal toms as Peter unleashes both synth and Vibe. Major-key vamp emerges as Rick chops up rhythm guitar. Peaks hard and gets klezmer-ish before building into "Get The Funk Out Ma Face."
2023-06-30Wysteria Lane17:50Goose Nelson Ledges Quarry Park Garrettsville OHTypical mellow start until Ben begins tribal drumming, Rick changes to a grungier tone and jam thrusts into a nasty rock build.
2023-09-16Wysteria Lane24:35Goose Masonic Temple Detroit MIInitial two-guitar duelling fragments into marimba space and slows down into some classic Fall '23 bliss-building. Hints of the reverse "Heartbreaker" riff Rick loves so much punch through at the peak before Peter leads into a piano-centric outro jam that might just be the best part of the whole thing.
2023-10-07Wysteria Lane19:26Goose West Lawn at Lory Student Center Fort Collins COTech issues with Rick's mic cause the band to bail on the song after the first verse and just jam. A strong Type I peak is reached before Peter hits the Vibe and infuses "Magic School Bus" into the groove. Smoothly goes from there into a more evil space thanks to Rick's shredding and peaks nicely.
2023-11-07Wysteria Lane20:18Goose Melkweg Amsterdam Highlight of the Jamsterdam show, Peter shines as he drives mood of jam with simple yet powerful selections on keys throughout, ending in beautiful Blissteria collective band magic. Slides into a really great "Electric Avenue."
2023-11-18Wysteria Lane17:40Goose Thekla Bristol Peter stays on guitar for the entire jam, an exceptionally rare occurrence for the time period. Some nasty Type I churn explodes through the first part of the jam but cools around 13:30. Peter's staccato repeated riff informs the next part of the jam, where the band plays with a theme akin to the ending of "Dripfield." Great upbeat groove modes.
2024-04-09Wysteria Lane17:33Goose Capitol Theatre, The Port Chester NYGreat dual-guitar churn on the front end, but the last few minutes of deconstructive and contemplative play are the real star. Showed potential for further exploration but was abandoned in favour of a concise "Echo of a Rose."
2024-06-07Wysteria Lane17:42Goose Fiddler's Green Amphitheatre Greenwood Village COA gorgeous two-guitar bliss jam that unfurls into the mountain air. A mood of exuberance throughout.
2024-06-14Wysteria Lane17:20Goose Northlands Live Swanzey NHWith its patient commitment to quieter dynamics, the first half drips with Manzarek-style vintage vibe flurries in conversation with subtle guitar lines. As the tempo increases, both keys and guitar introduce distortion, leading the full band into the same punctuated recurring motif as the fiery Ryman "Wysteria."
2024-06-26Wysteria Lane23:17Goose Thompson's Point Portland METhe OB-6 makes the jam feel like it's in a spaceship taking off as the band leans hard into ambient space with a commitment to patience and quieter dynamics. Rick infuses digital sauce under the subtle textures as the jam gets more percussive before Peter transforms the synth into its own pulsating organism. Trevor leads into a new progression as the waves of digital sound continue. Transforms to a beauteous bliss jam not unlike the Raleigh "Pancakes" around the 18th minute and closes with an amazing peak.
2024-09-11Wysteria Lane20:17Goose Salt Shed, The Chicago ILThe rhythm section is king in this jam, going from spacey psychedelia to driving funk. Cotter and Trevor push forward and Jeff jumps in on tambourine at the perfect time. Great full-band grooving.
2024-09-19Wysteria Lane14:19Goose Kettlehouse Amphitheater Bonner MTBeautifully grimy two-guitar jam covers an insane amount of ground in its 14 minutes. Gets churning and evil and seems to be far from over when a major-key modulation winds up in an abrupt segue into the Goose debut of "True Love Waits."
