Good show. Loved the Eyes out Space. No second encore of J B Goode.

More kickin' organ on Franklin's. Very nice meandering spacey jamming in Playin'. The jam coming out of Terrapin isn't bad, and Vince's work especially shines again like the previous night.

Overall a mostly average show. Good sound, I only heard one minor glitch. Still, it is overshadowed by the night before in my opinion.

Even though I had a herniated disc in my back and was lying down for most of the show on the concrete behind the seats, trying to avoid getting stepped on by dancing Deadheads, I really enjoyed this show. Great to hear it again! Jerry playin' his heart out; Help/Slip/Franklin excellent. I think that Vince was really fitting in well, a few unsure moments, but some great jamming particularly on Terrapin and Eyes.

This has a really smoking Memphis Blues. Great organ work.

The Slipknot from this particular show is magnificent. IMHO, I think it's got to be one of the best Slipknot's the Dead did with Vince and without Hornsby. This show is a very nice SBD, a little heavy on Vince, but not nearly as much as the 2-19-91 SBD. Solid 4 star show. Lots of focused jamming. I think Jerry wanted to play more than sing on this particular night.

Good Show, nice board and fun special guests. The Dragon parade was incredible. This was the best of the 3 shows.

Subject: Liquid Jerry
This show is like warm liquid goo...So intense in every way. Not vocally perfect...but it seems as though the whole band is on another planet. The sound of this show is OUT THERE! The Space>Eyes is out of this world without a doubt. I remember listening to this one night and being carried off to another dimension during the Playin'.

There were plenty of shows featuring Bruce Hornsby around this time, but he didn't come out west for these three shows at the Oakland Coliseum Arena. I'm a bit biased because I went to this show, but it seemed the band was trying to break out a bit during this 'homestand'. The first night, the 19th, saw the first New Speedway Boogie since 1970, and the second two nights had tease jams that got the crowd very excited -- Other One on the 20th, and Terrapin on the 21st. This night's show is notable for the Eyes of the World that comes out of Space, the last time this ever happened. This recording is very nice with good placement of the band members. Strange keyboards from Vince in places, but he was finding his way and gave a solid performance. All in all, I feel that there are many better shows from 1991, but this one has a very worthy second set and some surprisingly good moments in first set. If you want to hear a slightly different sound than what you hear in the summer and fall tours for 1991, try this show.
