Goose made their Rock Legends Cruise debut this past weekend with three sets during the amphibious Caribbean festival, which also featured performances by Roger Daltrey, Nancy Wilson, UFO, and many more from February 27th-March 2nd.
Goose’s first set on Friday started with the band’s original “Madhuvan”, before a cover of Billy Joel‘s “Moving Out”. The rest of the set included originals like “Drive” and “Flodown” and covers of The Band‘s “W.S. Walcott’s Medicine Show”, Stevie Wonder‘s “Boogie On Reggae Woman”, and Deodato‘s “Also Sprach Zarathustra”. The band closed with “Turned Clouds”, which was requested by Goose’s “Coach”, Jon Lombardi.
Later that night, Goose kicked off their second set at the 10th Anniversary Rock Legends Cruise with one of their latest singles, “Butter Rum”. They then ran through “Hot Tea”; Creedence Clearwater Revival‘s “Green River”; a slower and melodic version of the original “All I Need”; “Echo of a Rose”; Bruce Hornsby‘s “The Way It Is”; “Jive I”; and “Indian River”, before ending with a cover of Bobby Blue Band‘s “Turn on Your Love Light”.
Finally, on Sunday night, the band played their third and final set. After opening with “Lead The Way” and “Elizabeth”, the band segued to a cover of The Wood Brothers‘ “Atlas”, where Brandon “Taz” Niederauer joined them on guitar. They followed that up with “A Western Sun”, “Time To Flee”, and Paul Simon‘s “Me & Julio Down by the School Yard”, which featured a whistle solo by lighting designer Andrew Goedde, before the set-ending original, “Arcadia”.
