Goose wrapped its fall tour this week with a two-night run at The Anthem in Washington, D.C. where the band paid tribute to a bevy of influences. Across four sets, Goose included eight covers ranging from the Grateful Dead to Prince to Devo.

The band arrived at The Anthem on Tuesday following a three-night weekend run in Cincinnati that culminated with a surprise mini-acoustic set on Sunday. Prior to that, Goose staged its first proper Halloween concert in three years with a Stranger Things-themed show in St. Petersburg, FL. That show saw the band introduce several new covers to its repertoire, including “You Spin Me Round (Like A Record)” which returned for its second-ever performance on Tuesday at The Anthem. The first night of the run also included The National‘s “Bloodbuzz Ohio”, The Who‘s “Eminence Front”, and finally the Grateful Dead’s “Peggy-O” to finish the show.

Returning on Wednesday to finish the run, Goose covered Devo’s “Whip It” for the second time this month. Back on November 1st during a show in St. Augustine, FL, Goose busted out the hit from Ohio’s helmet-wearing new wave band for the first time in 114 shows. Wednesday also saw Goose deliver its sixth-ever performance of “I Would Die 4 U” (Prince) along with cover staples “Pumped Up Kicks” and “Shama Lama Ding Dong”, which were paired together in the run’s final set.
