And that’s a wrap, for both South Farms and for five-member Goose, as the jam scene darlings concluded their 2020 fall drive-in concert tour with two back to back nights at the Morris, CT music venue this past weekend. For the venue itself, save for a final solo performance from Warren Haynes on Sunday evening, these were the last shows of a very fruitful season of live music offerings which featured the likes of Grace Potter, The Front Bottoms, moe. and more.
It’s also a wrap on live music for many fans present for these two Goose shows. Speaking with fans in the hours since, many have predicted these final South Farms shows to be their last live experience of 2020, as we head into a potentially cold winter season with a pandemic looming over our heads as much as it has been all year. For a last live musical outing, unanimous consensus among fans seems to be that these final two shows were as top-notch as anything delivered from the band yet.
Highlighted in night number two by a Donnie Darko theme that featured covers of the indie film’s 1980s-heavy soundtrack, Goose’s run at South Farms was a weekend full of debut performances, interesting setlist moves, and certainly lots of improvisation that took the band’s indie-tronica style across moments of jazz, funk, psychedelic rock, and more.
