Welcome Cotter! The t-shirts and banners in the crowd at Sunday night’s Goose show echoed the band’s excitement to unveil their new drummer to a sold out Capitol Theatre. It was apparent throughout the show that the band believes Cotter is the perfect fit – the hype did not disappoint. Peter reminded the crowd that “you only get to play your first show once.” What a first show for the new Goose drummer and Goose 2.0!
“Flopener” was a heavy favorite in the comment section for the opener and it made sense. Energy right out of the gate into a “Rockdale” showcased Cotters’ heavy rhythmic additions. One could not help realizing during the slow parts of “Seekers” that Ben was gone, but a little nostalgia did not get in the way of a truly rocking first set that showcased two new funky songs that will surely stay in the rotation.
Other than Cotter, two things were apparent: 1) Rick’s new tone with his new setup is fantastic and he is ready for an amazing year and 2) Trevor is way turned up in the mix in the best way. The second set “Pancakes” was probably the jam of the night and the Cap crowd responded. This is going to be a special four-night run- we are so lucky Goose couldn’t wait to show us how much they have been working since Hampton.
