Paramount Theatre-Oakland

Great show funny as hell

The show was great. The entry and exit could have been more organized. It they want folks to give up their phones, that's fine, but there should be a smoother process to unlock the phone after the event. The Paramount definitely needs to update their seating. The seats are worn and uncomfortable. TTT in terms of performance did not disappoint. I am so happy to have seen them with all of the original members!

Thanks you, Seal, for sharing your thoughts, your music, your Love, and your soul! You and your band gave us everything. This is my third time seeing Seal, and this show was his most intimate. The set list was perfect. The staging was simple. The sound was great. And the energy was high and love-filled. We can't wait for the next tour! We'll be there in the front row, whatever the price!

The 2022 return of Ryan Adams took me to Carnegie Hall in May, LA in July and Oakland last night. After seeing him in NYC, I couldn't imagine him topping that performance, but in LA he did just that. Last night in Oakland, Ryan Adams outdid himself again in every way: even better and nuanced vocals and unreal acoustic guitar mastery that made a selection from over twenty years of great songs new again. If that wasn't enough, he added four covers, three on guitar and one on piano, that he, characteristically and wonderfully, made his own. As usual, Ryan also delighted us with his humor which, when it isn't referencing music and pop culture, is hilarious self-deprecation. This show comprised thirty-eight songs in just under three hours from one of the best singer-songwriters of our generation.

It was my first time seeing him though I’ve been a fan for at least the last 8-10 years. He’s a prickly fellow and at the same time funny. He engaged with the audience in a silly way and I appreciated that. This guy is an incredible songwriter. Having grown up with the 70’s singer songwriters (Neil Young, Joni Mitchell), I have to say he is in that class ! Just an endless amount of great songs. I especially love his singing because I can FEEL him when he sings. Vocally he’s a chameleon and able to sound very different on different songs. His vocal performance last night was FLAWLESS! It’s hard to pull off an all acoustic show, but it was clear he was up for this challenge He moved between guitar and piano and I especially liked it when he stood and played and sang. I loved his version of over the rainbow and was quite moved by it (partly because of Bowie’s reference to being free as a bluebird when he dies…I will never get over Bowie’s death). Ryan did so many of my (and, others) favorite songs, but I so wanted to hear magnolia mountain. Next time ❤️. All that being said, I thought of the quote of leaving the audience wanting more. I did not feel that. Almost 3 hours (crazy generous set for his die hard fans) of an acoustic show was about a half hour too long. I’m grateful for his generosity and it made me REALLY want to see him with a full band ! The show was perfect except for the length. I will be buying MORE Ryan Adams CD’s this week. Of his contemporaries (with the exception of Jay Farrar) no one holds a candle to him. For anyone who’s yearning for great songwriting and singing buy Ryan Adams releases. Start with heartbreaker.

Good concert. Ryan as usual had his moments. A seated venue is not the best venue for a rock concert.

Chucho is brilliant. 1.5 hours of stories in sound. Utterly transporting M.Strutin

I’ve seen him 4 times but this was absolutely the BEST CONCERT 🎵 ❤️❤️ the band was tight and he was not only superb in his singing but he was sooo personable! He shared beautiful stories of his childhood which endeared him to the audience even more! Thank you Gregory for such a memorable evening! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👸🏽💯💃🏿🌹🌹

Couldn't believe he just turned 82! I took a video of him grooving all the way down to the floor then coming back up without any help as PT inspo for my father-in-law. #seniorgoals Awesome!
