🔥🔥🔥

[@jordonwentz1243]

your guitar playing inspires me to keep going. I can't believe how in tune you are with your instrument. thank you

[@adamweinberg1768]

Lage is the most imporatant guitarist of our generation. Crazy that he joined Goose. So damn cool!

[@ryansullivan2933]

I don’t disagree but I’d LOVE an explanation to that bold statement !

[@BounceChord]

@@ryansullivan2933I’m just some guy but I would say that Lage seems to lack an physical restriction to what he does on guitar. Nothing holds him back as a player and that paired with his extensive knowledge of jazz and music theory, and his desire to get weird, make him perhaps the most interest player to ever hold a guitar.

[@boomerdell]

@@BounceChord, ​​⁠much as I don't rate or rank or measure art or artists, there truly is something genuinely unique and remarkable about Julian Lage. I have been listening to and watching videos of his performances for years (and yes, I shall remedy the glaring gap in my concert-going life that I have yet to attend a live performance of his), and I keep finding myself blown away by what he does. He is on another plane of artistic existence and I am so very glad he takes us along for the ride.

[@BounceChord]

@@boomerdell I need to see him live. I feel like what he’s doing is historic in the jazz scene and it’ll be talked about in the future.

[@rogersdustin]

Blake Mills?

[@joshevans3452]

Best Goose sit in. Full stop.

[@matthodel946]

Yes please just add Julian in the normal mix.

[@mikewelchh]

Only six minutes in and GOOSEbumps. Lage is a firehose of guitar magic.

[@AdamMetz1]

His newer album in Dolby Atmos is really one of the best Jazz albums in Atmos on Apple Music

[@blueheeler9]

Im 1:30 in and had goosebumps holy fuck!

[@freeseguitar-np4mh]

Love that description

[@boomerdell]

Julian Lage is…nope, can't do it justice. How do I reduce to mere words an artist of his caliber? Absolutely gobsmacked. If you haven't experienced Julian Lage’s music, I encourage you to do so. His trio, his solo work, everything. It's soooooo worth it. And while you're at it, watch some interviews of his. Genuinely kind, warm, intelligent (keenly so), and still so very child-like and enthusiastic about the mere act of creating music.

[@Mrfabby1972]

Couldn't agree with you more. People, and rightfully so, go on about his eccentric technique and what a bad-ass player he is. All true! HIs understanding of harmony is so fresh. Those uncomfortable bends, the brilliant resolutions. His compositions are on a master level, whether you dig guitar or not. When you hear him on acoustic guitar, with his hybrid picking and wonderful sense of melody, it's a game-changer.

[@NewPraetorianBlues]

12:44 Rick is making every face we all make hearing Julian play... The "this fuckin guyyy" face lol He's insanely talented, great guest.

[@alexanderolsen3831]

That was a cool moment, part of that face is because he knew he got busted. Julian was being a bit cheeky and copied the last lick of Rick's solo pass-off note for note. Julian also heard Rick stumble on a phrase right before that lick, so Julian WENT BACK to finish the hacked phrase, then played the finishing 3-note line across every key while using alternate fret positions. Rick simply laughed and stopped comping when he realized Julian was sort of saying "I think this is what you meant to finish that phrase with and here it is in every key across the whole fretboard."

[@NewPraetorianBlues]

@@alexanderolsen3831 Haha, I never picked up on that! Thanks for that tidbit :)

[@SierraAppa]

Julian….jazz guitar god. I saw him live in SF last year and it was amazing.

[@thegreengroundexperience6479]

Love to see a smartphone-free area! Awesome. Makes it even better for me

[@Louis-ef4eb]

Thursday night!! Best night of the Run!! Amazing evening...

[@andrewjenson4664]

Long time Goose fan, this was my first show. This brought tears to my eyes. It was just the most perfect summer night. Truly been on repeat for me.

[@tedauch4886]

The fact that Page has enough respect for this band to grace them with his presence is a huge compliment and the fact that Goose knows enough to bring him on raises my opinion of them exponentially!

[@garnetramey9131]

This was so much fun! ❤ so much gratitude for nights under the moon with music, love, and this amazing band I adore!

[@johnnymossville]

such free creative expression love it. just doing what feels good, and it sounds incredible.

[@hornsbykid]

Cotter saves the day by being able to play around all those jazz runs. Rick is just laughing watching him roll thru all those scales

[@ianmills7750]

Agreed. Cotter is a great fit for Julian's style. I love Rick's playing but just like me with Julian's playing. I'm like a dog staring at a ceiling fan!

[@ronfreeman5857]

Like a nasty Goose..with plenty of gravy..😎..that is what we have..✌ tastes soo good!!...❤

[@chrispannygolf1601]

Just oozes out of Julian, one of the best players on the planet.

[@ZachJenkins-p7m]

Infuckncredible

[@anandadyes4152]

Omg Julian LAGE!!!! LFG!!!!!!

[@RoyalWe14]

Lage obviously subscribes to the Victor Wooten ideology that there are no wrong notes, it's all in how you play them. Fits so well no matter what key backs it

[@benewer1590]

PLEASE BE THE CAUSE OF JULIANS FUSION ERA

[@jwallguitar]

😂

[@seanmarshallmusic]

Does the bass player just exist in slow motion? Lage is my fav player- didn’t expect this collab but loved it

[@jeff-nv6vq]

I love Trevor's style I don't what it is that slow and steady that always comes back around just builds the suspense

[@bikergeekgd]

Fucking amazing.

[@YimmyYames513]

Sometimes you eat the goose and other times the goose eats you.

[@BlackGuardBilly]

This is like when the homeschooled kid shows up to the basketball courts. His sense of dynamic and improv is so far beyond theirs that they aren’t even listening to him

[@BigBlackFurryCreature]

Haha!! Agreed, there were definitely a few points I heard Lage trying to take it to somewhere absolutely insane and they didn’t seem ready for it. Now if only Lage would play with phish… 👀

[@GoodMusicGoodMood]

Jesus H. Lage

[@MethenySco]

One chord jam…yawn

[@RealZacharyLee]

Two off duty Abraham Lincoln impersonators battle for guitar supremacy.

[@neilkorsgaard]

LMAO!! Right?!!

[@oceantree5000]

One of the craziest dual-guitar displays I’ve ever seen, and arguably the best sit-in of all time. I could not believe when I heard this was happening, and could believe it even less once I sprinted to nugs to watch it around a half-hour after it happened. Amazing! So stoked y’all shared this part.

[@stepheneson4107]

Julian Lage is a monster guitarist, admired by fellow musicians but lesser known than he deserves to be. His presence on this stage motivates Goose to up their game-- particularly Rick. Tremendous music.

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

This was incredible! Every single musician was red hot! I literally could not stop watching every single second of this. Never seen anything like it. 🙏

[@b.a.boarding6053]

Julian Lage is absolutely ridiculous. If you haven’t gone to see one of his trio shows yet, please do yourself a favor.

[@johnnyprovo7157]

So glad this happened; i hope every jamband fan goes out and finds more of Julian's music and it leads them into the insanely prolific and musically rewarding genre everyone still calls "Jazz". SO many great bands, artists, bands out there waiting for y'all to discover. Enjoy!!!

[@ColorField-Music]

Julian lage, your fav guitar players favorite guitar players, favorite guitar player

[@NicholasPalance]

this is my superbowl

[@dieterschade6521]

Outstanding! I loved how Julian Lage does not fear dissonance, but uses it to create the tension that gets resolved. What a hoot this was!

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

All time. He's a monster wherever you put him - who else comes close? George Benson? He doesn't have half Lage's range. Derek Trucks, same thing. Scofield? Bill Frisell? No. Sure, Shawn Lane would smoke him in a race, but still, nope. Same for Govan and not nearly as musical. And he can get genuinely weird like Sony Sharrock, Nels Cline and Blood Ulner. Nobody else can play classical counterpoint, bluegrass, and free-jazz convincingly. And obviously nail blues, rock and folk. Then on top of all that - he can play regular ole straight ahead jazz! And write!?? AND WRITE!!??? And perhaps most importantly- its always new, fresh and completely of the moment. I've seen him around 2 dozen times and it's always wildly different. Add to that the fact that he's the humblest, nicest guy. Definitely meet this hero - a genuinely kind soul. Don't get me wrong, i love all the names I've mentioned, but He's as complete a package as they come. And still very young 💪

[@jkaznosky]

Not a Goose follower, but it sure is interesting to hear Julian play in this context. I've seen Rick play a bunch in other situations and you can hear the level just jump up with Julian on stage. Julian brings that joy of music and it brings everyone up.

[@chrisanthonymusic]

The P90s on that telecaster blends so nicely with Rick! You can definitely tell how Julian's playing influenced the rest of the set after! Berkeley boys going at it 🪿

[@NewPraetorianBlues]

It's actually his signature Ellisonic pickup from Ron Ellis hiding in a P90 housing! Insane clarity, Ron Ellis is a pickup wizard

[@javierthewish]

Thank you for sharing. Didnt know this band. I will check their other stuff. Please, for those who didn't know Julian, check Julian Lage trio tour and try to get tickes for you and some music partner in crime. You can thank me later.

[@soulsofjoymusic7514]

I saw Julian as a kid open for David Grisman Quintet and then sit in with David for the rest of the show, think he was like 11 years old. Great to see him here with Goose!!

[@blueheeler9]

Lage is fucking phenomenal but how about Cotter's chops as a jazz drummer, DAYUM

[@aquaswissblue]

One of the most expressive performances from THE guitar GOAT, and one of my new favorite bands.

[@easytoslip]

9:50 forward is sounding a little bit grateful deady!

[@Lowell1970]

Abe Lincoln

[@NateMcMurph]

Guest Julian with King Gizzard next! 🤯

[@DabsDad]

You can hear a bunch of Scofield and Frisell influences in Lage's playing. Sublime.

[@Mrfabby1972]

Watching and hearing Mr. Lage in a live setting with, arguably, the biggest jam band outside of Phish, is proof that greatness knows greatness. The pandemic KZbin rabbit hole i went down, musically, allowed me to discover this inimitable talent. To see him ripping and unleashed in front of a crowd that he could never assemble on his own, is everything. And they all felt him. They all got a glimpse into this guy's genius. For all of you who've never heard of him but were floored when you heard him for the first time, follow the rabbit down the hole. You won't be disappointed.

[@AdventureWithin]

Jules with some dirt!

[@CharlieKnolesPlus]

Huge Lage fan. First time I’ve ever heard Goose. What a great band.

[@reneenapier574]

This sounds so amazing! What a fantastic pairing overall!! They work so well together similarly to how Nels Cline elevates Wilco. So sorry to have missed this live but hopefully there'll be a "next time"

[@steelcityspeedshopj.r6942]

i literally cannot believe this happened . man i wish i was there to see it! thankyou so Much for sharing with all of us

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

For all the guitarists, drummers and keyboards, they all managed to avoid stepping on each other's toes and letting the music breathe.

[@yonkonomi5706]

Holy hannah in a hand basket 😮 Western Sun has been my #1 song for a while and this sit-in just further cements that status! So magical!

[@quinngleisner4282]

As one of the few people in the crowd who knew who Julian Lage was, this was epic! Great music and it was awesome to see and hear the band get excited by playing with an idol. Goose rocks!

[@pg123ton6]

Sorry but Julian is way outta of these guys league lol I feel like he promised his fiancé he'd sit in with her brothers band

[@codyhudman2763]

Of COURSE Lage sitting in is the bomb! The most important jazz musician of this generation. But are we really going to not mention that Peter looks he just broke out of a prison chain gang?! 😂

[@nathanphillips1409]

Rick looks an inch from orgasm whenever Julian is hitting those runs.

[@jwtplayer]

Anybody know what kind of guitar that semi-hollow is?

[@JerzyBorowski-ot3ie]

REWELACJA dziękuję BARDZO KOCHANI KOSMOS

[@ianmills7750]

Abraham Lincoln friggen whales!

[@nickdoormaster1930]

Was there , it was great !!!!

[@0809serena]

I am blessed to have been to the 5 Goose shows I have been to. 3 in a week first week of September. I wasn't able to make it to Chicago but Chicago Night 2 IMHO is the best show this band has ever played.

[@aasteiny]

Well my face fell off, not sure if that was the intended reaction but here we are

[@Qdobafett]

Classic goose. Makes Julian stand around for 10 mins before letting him shred lol 😂

[@DEVDissers]

How far was ur head up ur ass during that intro?

[@zaldum386]

Lage is just too much

[@tfirman]

This is too many good things at once.

[@dangibson9602]

Such a special and wholesome moment. 2nd set was just as fire, if not more!

[@mayaordonezlandsberg9844]

This was the best goose show I have ever been to hands down. They even got me hugging my boy Travis

[@PAHVID]

Incredible sit in!

[@brandonh7646]

More of this please

[@kennywilkinson9270]

No such thing as music genres. There is good music and bad music, said the late great Duke. Love this so much. Music is so powerful.

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

Well that's just silly. Ofc there are

[@easytoslip]

Vocals sound beautiful guys!

[@funkdubayous]

DUDE!!! Wtf, this is siiiick!👍👍

[@devinbezeredi2627]

Yawn

[@freddiewah]

And it just keeps getting better..

[@ryanlocati5695]

Julian makes this band %100 worth listening to

[@ryanlocati5695]

Otherwise with Goose im bored, but Goose supporting Julian im very down. As long as there is no singing.

[@ryanlocati5695]

Next step Dead and Co and Julian

[@BOBBRADLEYCHANNEL]

Julian what at a force! Already got that moog muse up there!

[@djroeable]

Greetings all the way from the UK …. Late to the Goose party….but these some of the most beautiful sounds and words …thank you

[@loopghost]

Julian makes other virtuoso musicians stop and grin like kids.

[@aaronbergstrom1857]

I bet they wont be playing in Springfield any time soon…

[@iansullivan8955]

This rules! Julian has been a favorite of mine for years and to see him sit in with you guys would be so sick! Man, some of his phrasing just blew me away.

[@Gmunsnhuns]

If this ever happens again, you better believe I’m getting flights to wherever it is.

[@easytoslip]

oh yeah Dripfield too! Peter I like ur jumpsuit and this guest is pretty good on the tele

[@neilmarsh7437]

Love the band and Julian is an absolute master!

[@neiljohnsen276]

Absolutely 🔥! ...more please!

[@Billywagner22]

That was a fun ride.

[@clarencejbuffalo]

It’s Jason Borne!!!! Oh my Lord, who is this guy?!?! Points to Rick for being able to hang with him! So great!!!

[@stevefranklin6041]

Brilliant 👏

[@johnhayes8476]

🤯

[@brendanivey7814]

Yes!

[@jamescurtis8584]

Wow

[@offgridmatt]

💚

[@BobArtur1978]

Say that Julian is amazing is underrating him. Probably the best guitar player of our times.

[@a.nobodys.nobody]

All time. He's a monster wherever you put him - who comes close? George Benson? He doesn't have half Lage's range. Derek Trucks, same thing. Scofield? Bill Frisell?

[@JazzGuitarFan72]

Great musicians and a great jam! I am been a fan of Julian Lage for the better part of the last 15 years, and now I am a huge Goose fan as well. I hope these cats do some more collaboration.

[@dantrav1927]

The music this band makes is just so bland, even with Lage.

[@Thomas-xs2kq]

Julian would not have played with Goose if he thought they were bland.

[@billaball3]

Wow, someone finally made Goose interesting. How much did Shapiro pay Julian?

[@HennessyHemp]

I was there for this! 🔥🔥🔥🫠🫠🫠 I got my face melted three nights in a row... Thursday (this show) was particularly magic though.
