Hi, I’m Obie and… I like jam bands.
The weather on day 2 was spectacular. Of my crew I was the only one without VIPs of some kind and I spent the day in the GA line. Everyone on the lot was somewhere on the Autumn Crossing is happening spectrum, myself included. I really thought we were traveling on a journey to find home.

N2S1 was the weakest theme wise. The set was cool and the bubble generators were fun, but the original song selections were a stretch at best. Pancakes are round, I guess? And if anyone can explain Red Bird to me I all ears.

N2S2 the jungle theme worked better I think for song selection. But then here comes Bruce to sit in. It was amazing. Not sure you could ask for a better sit in. Kind of weird it happened on a black light jungle planet though.

N1S1 started by asking the question “earthlings or aliens” and then goes straight into bouncing between versions of songs and covers and originals. Felt like a contemplation of the question. The reflection/self reflection theme worked for me too with AIN and Tumble.

N1S2 the fire theme is a gimme for set design and cover choices. We’re let in on the set changes and format of new covers solidifies. The dichotomy continues in the encore with so/slow.

Then a day of speculation and anticipation.

On the last leg of my journey home from #goosemas. Here it goes:

I can’t imagine anyone in attendance was disappointed because of the gag or the song choices. From the couch maybe a different story, but the vibe inside the venue was unreal.

I was really digging the theme on N1. I think it fell apart on N2 and came over as just an excuse to play a bunch of covers. #goose

It’s got bubbles whatever it is. #goosemas #goose
With two planets to go it seems like one has to be water. So many seas and rivers in the arsenal. And you know Rick has to get Thatch in there somehow. Maybe they’ll crash under water. #goosemas #goose
Let’s go!

Anyone else think that phish removing “GA only” from the lotto is going to backfire and drive up floors on the secondary market? #phish #yemsg
Arcadia playing in the concourse at MSG. #goose #phish
There’s not many bands I’ll go out of my way to see outside of #goose and #phish, but when #nickelcreek comes around, I don’t miss it.
