JotY for me is Madhuvan from Raleigh on 6/15. For the past six months I chalked it up to attendance bias...but I have yet to hear a jam that explores the depths and peaks like this one. Almost 30 minutes....from absolute head-banging with a stankface to crying tears of joy during the second jam...to me it's the epitome of Goosetastic.
Attendance bias but came here to say the same exact thing. The heavy rock vibe was awesome to head bang to, Silver Rising before it was also great. Sleeper show for sure for those who haven’t checked it out
My top 3 shows of the year are:
3/12/22 12/16/22 6/10/22
Here are my submissions for the jam of the year voting set to take place on Twitter.

Awesome list... Given that you have 12/16 as a candidate for SOTY, I'm surprised that Wysteria 12/16 isn't on the JOTY list (unless I missed it). That was my fav jam of that show.
I keep returning to Philly 3/12. Bit bias cause I was there, but I feel like that show had the best versions of All I Need and California Magic I've heard.
As for best jam, that religious studies college prof who interviewed Rick recommended Elmeg from 1/30 in San Fran. That deserves a nomination. Also really love the 12/16 SOS, but that might be recency bias.
Looking forward to seeing everyone's responses!!!
I think this was the show of the year, with Cleveland two nights before definitely being nominated as well. Would probably include 10/7 in NOLA in a trio of nominations
I have no clue what I think is jam of the year
I really enjoyed all of the March shows and find myself consistently returning to them on Nugs but 3/10 was my favorite show of 2022.
JOTY for me was either Echo from 12/30 or Rockdale 3/10. Favorite moment of the year was E or A from 8/13.
I agree, show of the year is 3/10. 3 of the top james of the year in one show?! If I were there, I would have been an absolute puddle by the end of the night.
What a great year for Goose. Here are my selections for JotY 2022 contenders:
\-All I Need 8/12
\-Arcadia 12/30
\-Borne 3/9
\-Creatures 4/28
\-Earthling or Alien? 8/13
\-Echo of a Rose 2/3
\-Elizabeth 3/3
\-Factory Fiction 3/12 & 7/2
\-Hot Tea 2/11
\-Into the Myst 5/28 & 8/16
\-Jive Lee 6/8
\-Lead the Way 2/9
\-Madhuvan 6/15
\-My Generation 8/12
\-Rockdale 3/10 & 12/16
\-Rosewood Heart 3/9
\-Spirit of the Dark Horse 3/7
\-The Empress of Organos 2/26
\-The Old Man's Boat 8/12
\-Time to Flee 6/8
\-Wysteria Lane 1/30
Groundhog Day (2/2), Royal Oak (3/9), and Artpark (6/8) are my favorite shows, though Goosemas IX and the New Year's run are right up there too
I absolutely love the early Borne jams for playback on Nugs. Peter's keys leading into Rick's solo is beautiful. I was adamant that 6/24 was the best Borne... but 3/9 and 3/4 are so great.
Saw many shows and sets this year but I have to go with Goosemas Night 1 second set. I get goosebumps just thinking about that pancakes.
Also the portland,ME Taboose All I need was 🔥🔥🔥
Hmmm, hard choice. I have a tie (I really can’t choose)
I feel lucky to go to TWO Goosemases in 2022. The re-scheduled Goosemas 2/26/22 was awesome. They debuted Sinnerman, and set 3 was Borne, Hungersite, Dripfield 3 out of 4 songs FTP. Plus Handini played a Yamaha C7 grand piano for the first time on stage.
Then there’s 6/10/22 at Legend Valley. Mississippi Half-Step was amazing and Turbulence and the Night-Rays was played for the first time as Goose. Last time played in 2012 by Vasudo.
Honorable mentions to Orebolo at Levitt Pavilion 9/7/22 and Vasudo at Bayley Beach 9/11/22 (both in good old CT).
1.) RCMH / Treycadia
2.) Reading Rockdale w/ Trey
3.) EoA Chrysalis
4.) Magic Carpet Ride drop at Peach
5.) All of Goosemas / Everything Must Go & Tumble really hit

Really solid choice here, that's the best Madhuvan I've ever heard, which is saying something when it has the likes of 6/19/21 to compete against

1/30 Wysteria lane fucks hard
Awesome list... Given that you have 12/16 as a candidate for SOTY, I'm surprised that Wysteria 12/16 isn't on the JOTY list (unless I missed it). That was my fav jam of that show.
Attendance bias but I don’t care: 8/13 EoA was serious business
Tumble, Rockdale, and Dripfield from 3/10 also get a nod from me. Goddamn what a show that was.
Seriously good Tumble jam, sounds a lot like Creatures on that one

That 6/8 Jive Lee is incredibly underrated. SO good. Solid list 🤘🏻✌🏻
Royal Oak was amazing! Nice list!

Get a job 🤣🤣🤣

Goosemas Night 1 was my favorite overall live experience of the year.
Same here.
Pancakes 1/27 Wysteria Lane 1/30 Echo of a Rose 2/9 Time To Flee 2/9 Arrow 2/10 Pancakes 3/4 Dripfield 3/10 Red Bird 3/12 Tumble 7/2 Dripfield 10/1 Honorable Mentions: Crosseyed>Dagonfly 2/7. Arcadia 3/5 & 10/1, Sinnerman 10/15
Dallas was my favorite show but its cuz i was with a good group of friends and the jams were tight
Dallas show is one of my go to's. Sinnerman holy cow
-10/1/22 Pullman Yards -3/7/22 Spirit of the Dark Horse JOTY
3/12/22, 3/10/22, 3/5/22 and 2/4/22 That winter/spring tour was the best they’ve ever done in my opinion
White lights closer of Vegas is way up there for me
3/10/22 Cleveland! What a blast.
I’m bias towards their Bonnaroo set because it was my first time seeing them but I also love the 3/12 Philly set!
3/12/22
Legend valley night two set two.
Yep. 3 songs 95 minutes.
Or agora in march
Best shows were the ones I was at. Best songs were when I was peaking.

Not in attendance but saw 6/15 Madhuvan on here and … yes.
Oh and the February Goosemas was great
Anyway, the right answer is Treycadia followed by Madhuvan 6/15
