The vibe in the crowd was fantastic, and unlike what you might find at other jam band shows. Perhaps it's because of social distancing, but more likely, it's because of the band's fresh sound and positive energy. No "jaded vets," no one arguing over space or complaining about the setlist; in fact, many people throughout each night danced their way into other sections without issue.
Simultaneously, there are few fans who will travel from all corners of the map and happily trade a tornado warning plus five inches of rain in one hour for just one hour of music. That is exactly what hundreds of people did on May 3 in Frederick, Maryland to experience the talents of the five fellas from Connecticut. This is not so much a review of each individual song and jam like you might find at other sites – the music speaks for itself – but rather an attempt to capture the live experience of Goose in 2021. Perhaps what is to be appreciated most by those seeing the band this summer: this is only the beginning for Goose.
