Stoked to meet all you guys! Been fans of VW for a while, very grateful for this opportunity

Heard about y’all on Time Crisis, so glad y’all collab’d w/ VW on this 2021 jam!!! New fan!

Seriously, this was incredible. And the drummer too! Dude was totally locked in and holding it down the entire time.

[@travisumbel6877]

It should be worth mentioning that pretty much all of this is an improvised jam session. These dude's have fun.

[@dalebischoff2266]

They do have fun. Pretty sure this version was rehearsed to end at exactly 20:21. Beautiful song beautiful cover.

[@travisumbel6877]

@@toph10167 Break into the jam band scene. Ik there is a lot of stigma around it because drugs and hippies... but improvised "jams" are what all these bands are about! Putting on a unique performance live on stage, every time they step up to play. There is a reason they have such dedicated fans!

[@nickchow9291]

I can see that the keyboardist is playing in the key of BOY

[@NickDonellan]

Yeah I was trying to figure out why he has a G labeled boy. Every boy good does fine? 😂 I was thinking it's a single note in one of the songs he needs to hit while playing guitar, but he's too good to need a sticker. Must be a joke

[@robbwalk9296]

@@NickDonellan Its the key that the "Boy" sample is triggered with. So both practical and amusing

[@NickDonellan]

@@robbwalk9296 thanks I figured it had something to do with some sort of preset or intro loop or something. Because I remember watching him hit the wrong key at one of the shows and start laughing because it fucked up the intro.

Coach sneaking in on rainstick at the end! What a legend

[@moserbass]

Damn, that drummer is rolling through the song like a rock on ice. Brilliant!

[@darenlmn3093]

People are saying that Goose is the next big thing in the jam world. I've seen strong and silent military types weep openly when they play "The Whales" or when Rick and/or Trevor wear a sleeveless shirt. People are saying Obama never played the top of the Rock. Tremendous progress in 2020 - 2021 is the year of the honk.

[@jerobinson29]

I became a big Goose-head after learning about them on Time Crisis; watch the second set of the 2020 Goosemas show if you've never seen them before. It will blow you away.

[@driftadvocate1839]

do they have a track on time crisis?

[@jerobinson29]

@@driftadvocate1839 Time Crisis is Ezra Koenig's radio show on Apple Music; Goose has been talked about many times as an upcoming jam band, originally in the context of a discussion about bands from Connecticut.

[@matthewkucharski8817]

Last show I saw before the pandemic lockdowns was Goose opening for PPPP at Riviera Theater in Chicago, March 7, 2020. Can't wait to see these guys again when it's safe to go back out. Never heard of them prior to the show, have listened to everything posted on YT since. I MISS LIVE MUSIC !!!!!!

[@travisumbel6877]

I was at that show!! I remember the line to get in was like 3 blocks long, and I was thankful that I had even gotten in before Goose started.

[@Skyobb]

This brings back all the good and bad memories of 2021😢

[@plainpennylane]

Please tell me this means VW might start jamming longer and harder, the only reason I have not been to any shows was the assumption they play the studio versions note by note. But then I heard Ezra on a Phish podcast, and saw the Austin City Limits version of Sunflower, and I feel like they're heading in a direction that will attract a new (jam loving) audience. I have absolutely loved watching Vampire Weekend evolve with me over my life and also giving GOOSE the stage on their channel is just the sweetest. Thanks for kicking 2021 off just right, boys!

[@michaelginn7167]

Peter loves his two Nords so much he dropped the Moog stuff so I'm hoping the Wurlitzer is going to be a thing or maybe its just for this.
