The Goose Is Loose

Ok thanks. When have they been coming on?

Usually closer to 5:30 (pacific), and yesterday they went til 9:30 even though it was supposed to end at 9.

Are you WC? So thatā€™s 9:30 ET

Have you watched every night? Sorry to bug. Followed most of your convos. Hadnā€™t seen some of my favorites come out yet. Curious.

Yah Iā€™m WC, theyā€™re gonna be on in 10min and even though they show each set as a 2 hour block (with this one starting 20min ago) theyā€™ll probably go past the end of that second 2hr block.

Fuck it. Iā€™m in.

edit: never mind. That live x live site is being unfriendly with my browserā€™s privacy settings and not allowing me to sign up. I wonā€™t be using their app. Oh well. Back to Biscuits.

Slow ready next

Set 1 tonight was hot set 2 kinda rough

Yah Iā€™d agree, thereā€™s definitely been some sweet spots overall but not the strongest night of the lot

Iā€™ve only listened to last nights and this one. Last night was really great on the whole.

ā€œThe consensus among jam band fans seems to be that Goose simply does this better than anyone else right now, and its willingness to extend into 20-minute-plus jam territory pleases fans who might occasionally be caught glancing at a stopwatch at a Phish concert.ā€

The author is a longtime Phish fan. He has at least one degree in music. Does those Phish maps things. Heā€™s being critical of Phish in that statement, I believe. Last year the stuck up Phish dorks, that shit on every other band, were referring to their improv as ā€œmicro-jams.ā€ I know they did some longer pieces of improv eventually, but it definitely wasnā€™t the norm. I think thatā€™s the comparison heā€™s drawing to Goose.

Got anything to say now?

Yea Phish fans sound like losers. Also, anybody in this community knows ā€œthe consensus among jamband fansā€ is an oxymoron

Thatā€™s true. Just look at UM HoF winners.

Nobody:

Phish fans: this jam is only 17 minutes long? itā€™s obviously not as good as phish.

Few things in this scene are more annoying than people judging jams based on song length.

Any nugs playlists? Iā€™d like a little improv heavy binge.

I went through their catalog on nugs and looked for tunes with noteworthy improv that approached or exceeded the 20 minute mark. The All I Need is particularly good. It starts off a little slow, like the guitar player had the wrong tempo in mind for the first section, but it soon picks up to the regular tempo. At 5:19 they start to switch from a major jam to minor jam and build a nice tension and release section with great band interplay. The 7:20-7:41 segment is particularly nasty. The drum groove at the 9:00 min. mark gets super funky and syncopated. They develop the jam slowly after this and hit a pretty huge peak, then settle into a cool off beat section at about 18:30.

Tumble, A Western Sun, and Lead the Way are some of my favorite Goose tunes, so I found some good versions of those tracks to throw on the playlist. Iā€™ve never had the opportunity to see the band live, but canā€™t wait to make that happen when the 'Rona fizzles out.
