Goose New Orleans Part Deux: “What’s Up”, Birthday Girls?

Goose returned to the Joy Theater on Friday night to complete a back-to-back in the Big Easy. It was another one of those kinds of shows—heck, it was another one of those kinds of weekends, and the fact that it started on a Thursday was just the most New Orleans thing ever. In contrast to night one, which had a brighter setlist and was a Rick-driven, pedal-to-the-metal affair characterized by hyper speed and ballistic jams, Friday’s show ran at a more measured and deliberate pace while visiting darker sonic territory and heavier song selections.
