Review by Colin Selig
The highlight of the first show was Bob at the front mike with only microphone,
singing The Man In Me. The second night, with a similar delivery, it was
This Wheel’s on Fire. But the songs he put in the “open” slots of the set list
the third night were prime choice. The Times They Are A-Changin, Positively 4th
Street, Every Grain of Sand, and the afforementioned Girl from North Country
were delivered with clarity and passion. Musically the third night was the peak,
I suspect because the band had had a chance to relax in town for a few days.
If you’re trading for shows and have to choose only one, go for the third night.

Review by James Strohecker
Random Shorts Bob Weir and Bill Kreutzman of the (Grateful) Dead were seated about 15-rows up in the center, and seemed to enjoy the show. Many out-of-country attendees: from Germany, Italy and the UK. Great people, with lots of stories and good laughter. Again, if you have a chance to catch a show at the Oakland Paramount, do. This place has been refurbished and is just gorgeous. And the acoustics are excellent.

Review by Mark Stevens
Extraordinary night (My 13th show), the band really gelled significantly this evening, and on every song!-it struck me after "Tweedle" that Bob was having to keep up with THEM for a change, and he clearly seemed to enjoy the challenge-was smiling quite a bit and really raised his game as far as singing a bit more carefully and playing some very nice cut-above-normal harp, really expressive and not as melodically repetitive as he sometimes can be harmonica-wise. The set itself was really well-balanced as far as feels and tempos, and "high water" was indeed the high water mark for tonight-epic in it's detail and range of emotion, with some great improvised banjo fills from Don-it felt like they were conjuring Big Joe Turner's ghost right before our very eyes. "Goin Nowhere" and "Wheel's" were lovely surprises, and I'm fairly sure it was the first time I've heard 2 "basement" songs in the same show. Spoke to the band again tonight afterwards and congratulated them on such a unified and powerful effort . Denny, Stu, and George were upbeat and Denny in particular agreed that all the pistons were firing on this night. On to wednesday....

Review by James Strohecker
The team followed this with a most excellent, The Man in Me, where Bob took
center stage and crooned the words like a night club singer and band leader. This
was the song of the night. His voice was strong and sharp -- and he finished it
and hopped back over to his piano, donned a black, flat-brimmed hat (perhaps
purchased from The Hat Guys, a store down the street on Broadway in Oakland?)
to follow the band into Highway 61.
