Goose continued their winter tour on Wednesday for a special Groundhog Day show at the Midtown Ballroom in Bend, Ore. They made a tribute to the film Groundhog Day by starting both sets and their encore with the same banter and opening song.
Multi-instrumentalist Peter Anspach kicked off the show by saying “Well, howdy, It feels like it’s been for two years. This is gonna be a great night," before Goose broke into a cover of Duke Herrington’s “A Tribute To Gold." The performance of the track marked the band's first since they debuted it on June 13, 2021 at the Westville Music Bowl in New Haven, Conn. They then played "Life on the Shelf" and "Madhuvan." Next came a cover of the 1992 anthem "No Rain" by Blind Melon. They close the set with a pairing of "Jive II" > "Jive Lee."
The second set started again with the same banter and Duke Herrington cover. They made up for the evening's previous lack of new material with the debut of their single "Silver Rising." Goose moved into "Creatures" which led into a cover of Creedence Clearwater Revival's "Green River." The quintet then played "726" and closed with "Drive."
They encored with their final "A Tribute To Gold" for the night solidifying the merry Grandhog prank, which quickly flowed into "Drive." They closed the night appropriately with "Time To Flee."
