Goose returned to the socially-distanced South Farms in Morris, CT on Thursday night to complete a two night, sold-out home stand—begging the question, is there anything more normal than seeing one of your favorite bands play live music two nights in a row? Damn, if it doesn’t just feel so right.
Just as Goose was soaring to previously unknown heights pre-pandemic, there was concern as to whether they could continue their ascent under the current conditions. Emphatically answering the question with “aGoosetic” shows featuring Rick Mitarotonda, Peter Anspach, and soon to be full-fledged band member Jeffrey Arevalo, an uber-creative Bingo Tour that was one of the best streaming events of the last six months, and a pair of drive-in shows on Cape Cod, Goose has not only stayed relevant but continued to climb, the South Farms home stand giving their gaggle of adoring fans the in-person celebration they so desperately craved.
The band was flying as high as their flock coming into Thursday’s performance, as evidenced by the raucous pre-show cheer arising from the band’s trailer just off stage right. Moments later, Goose emerged on the South Farms stage to excite fans with a cover of Wes Montgomery’s “Switchin’”.
