MASTODON EXCLUSIVE

Going to post videos of my Top 5 Favorite Jams of 2023 daily leading up to next leg and then will release a playlist of my top 32. Still tinkering with order but have my top 5 set. Starting with #5... (#goose)

No. 5

3/30 Wysteria Lane - Ryman Auditorium N1, Nashville TN

The Rysteria - absolutely massive double peak monster. Here’s a clip of the first one

No. 4

3/8 Drive - The Capitol Theatre, Port Chester, NY

Incredible first jam highlighted by this brilliant section of blissful jamming #goose

No. 3

4/1 Madhuvan - Ryman Auditorium, Nashville TN

Might come as a bit of a shock as I’m cooling a little on my former No 1 and it dropped in my rankings.

That being said, absolutely amazing jam that I feel gets to the goods even quicker than the Raleigh Madhuvan. Dark Synth>Beautiful Bliss>Melodic Happiness>Raging finish. Here’s the part that puts a big smile on my face. #goose

No. 2

3/26 All I Need - Agora Theatre, Cleveland OH

I’m a sucker for a bliss section/peak and it doesn’t get much prettier than this one so far this year #goose

@902Vickers great jam that has no chance of winning JOTY. But I guess we have some time before all that. Tomorrow we get Phecho’d. Nice list

@Backeasyjim @902Vickers “No chance of winning JOTY” 🤣

Well Matt, it’s currently my JOTY until something better beats it. 🤷‍♂️

@vriphish76 @902Vickers

haha..That's less a comment on the jam (which is excellent) and more on what criteria people vote for in these things.

@Backeasyjim I’ve always loved the melodic, blissful peaks (why I was so drawn to you 94-95 Hood/Reba/Slaves) and this for me is an example of Goose doing it so well. If I was a betting man, I think we’ll get better Madh, AIN, WLa versions later this year. Not sure we’ll get a better version of No. 1
@902Vickers @Backeasyjim He’s going to Butter Rum us for the No 1 prize! The GOAT Rum.
@902Vickers @Backeasyjim It’s why we often agree. I am the same. Big sucker for those gorgeous jams.
@vriphish76 @902Vickers @Backeasyjim The first jam came out of the gates hot, but this final jam is so patient and gorgeous. It may not be unique, but it’s exactly what I happen to most enjoy.
