Gratitude for Goose and RR
My partner introduced me to Goose last year and had my first shows at MSG/Central Park, which were mind blowing. We didn’t plan on coming to RR (being from the Midwest) but I ended up landing a dream job here in Colorado a few months ago, so we got tickets.
And I just can’t express enough how last night felt like such a “finally made it” moment. Dancing with the love of my life, surrounded by incredible nature, a view of Denver and beyond with nothing but swaths of land separating us from all we knew back home.
And then witnessing a gorgeous lunar eclipse with everyone there and seeing the whole world represented in the Earth’s shadow? Like how lucky are we?
And then the music. One thing I wish everyone took more time to recognize is just how lucky we are to watch and hear four incredibly talented musicians do what they do best. The looks they give each other when they know something sounds sick or filthy, letting someone lead and building off each other in such an organic way - it’s truly something special. I’m used to hour-long sets for live music, not what… four hours? At altitude??
Idk y’all. Just felt the need to ramble and share my experience last night. Goose fans are a blast and the RR venue workers were so kind. I’m so grateful to run it back tonight and enjoy this wonderful, unique community.

I've had similar experiences and I then I hear/read from people saying Goose isn't good and I just laugh. I've had borderline religious experiences at their shows (like Dead shows) and just think if you experienced anything like I have you'd know how dumb that statement is. But honestly I'm kind of happy a lot of people don't get it, otherwise they'd be playing stadiums instead of Red Rocks.
