Geese’s Cameron Winter Memorializes Carnegie Hall Gig

As expected, Cameron Winter is giving his Carnegie Hall fever dream a second life. The Geese frontman will release his first concert album, the aptly named Live at Carnegie Hall, on Oct. 9 via Partisan Records/Play It Again Sam, documenting his sold-out December 2025 performance at the storied New York concert hall.

One of the youngest solo artists to headline Carnegie Hall’s main auditorium, Winter spent the night alone at the piano, facing away from the audience as he radically reimagined material from his acclaimed solo debut, Heavy Metal.

The set also introduced three previously unreleased compositions — “Emperor XIII In Shades”“If You Turn Back Now” and “Vines” — offering a glimpse into the considerable vault of songs behind one of rock’s more singular young eccentrics.

The album captures a particularly charged moment in Winter’s dual role as Geese frontman and increasingly unclassifiable solo artist. Heavy Metal earned raves for its unruly combination of intimate songwriting, feverish emotion and left-field ambition, and the Carnegie Hall performance put that material in a setting almost comically grand enough to match its scale.

The evening has another intriguing wrinkle: Winter’s performance was filmed by filmmakers Paul Thomas Anderson and Benny Safdie, although the footage’s ultimate destination or purpose has yet to be announced. For now, the live album provides the first official document of a night that was evidently too strange — and potentially too cinematic — to leave in the vault.

Live at Carnegie Hall will be available digitally, on CD and vinyl. Click here to pre-order. As for Geese, the band is touring internationally through Sept. 1-2 in London and will begin a new leg of North American dates Sept. 18 at Atlanta’s Shaky Knees festival.
