Goose’s performance at the Arizona Financial Theatre in Phoenix marked a triumphant debut to the desert, delivering a night that showcased the band’s evolution and the dynamic energy of their Everything Must Go tour last June 4, 2025.
The band hailing from Wilton, Connecticut showed the valley why they have a huge reputation for genre-blending improvisation and tight musicianship. Their performance has featured a mix of reimagined live staples and new material from their latest album Everything Must Go released on April 25, 2025. To mention a few, “Give It Time” and “Lead Up” have been highlighted in their Phoenix show, showcasing the band’s evolving sound and the seamless integration of new drummer Cotter Ellis who recently joined them in February last year.
Their performance was met with enthusiasm and loud screams from both longtime Arizona fans and newcomers. The crowd was a sight to behold as they put on clothes to match the psychedelic soundscape vibes of the band, and their groove and funk rhythms. Emphasizing tracks from both Everything Must Go and Dripfield albums, the audience matched the setlist’s fresh energy from Goose’s new songs and staple favorites.
The quartet provided a grand setting that went really well with their 3-hour show, enhancing their really intricate soundscapes with a fascinating state-of-the-art light show. Their avid fans have praised the band’s lighting setup, noting how it elevates the visual experience and complements the improvisational nature of their music.
Overall, Goose nailed it. Whether you’re a longtime follower or a newly initiated, Phoenix’s Everything Must Go night showcased why the band’s star keeps rising despite their first show in this city.
