The guitar playing on Diner—good lord. Jimmy had extra zip this night. Punches hit little quicker, little hard. My god he was on one this night

Yes, one for the record books. Actually ALL three Paramount shows should go down in History as epic! I`ve seen several other bands at the Paramount, and the "muddy" sound is always a problem at that venue. The WSP sound crew did a fantastic job, because the sound quality was the best I ever heard in that venue. I was glad to see that the guys seemed to like the venue, hope this means we get MORE PANIC here in Northern California (remember when we used to get 2 sets of shows in a year? sigh)

An absolutely blistering, gritty, kick-ass, tight show that is for the books. I`ve seen 40+ shows over many years and I don`t think I`ve ever seen a more powerful begining to a show/run. Seriously, Going Out West, Disco, Diner, No Sugar/New Mother full-throtled the Paramount in to a beautiful throbbing art-deco ball of energy that had the balcony bouncing a good 6 inches. Nor-Cal had been waiting long to witness the chemistry that Jimmy and the band are brewing up and this was an exquisite example of the surging power these boys are rolling with these days. Full of classic Panic standards, with not a weak moment to the show. The highlights, especially the Holden>Life During Wartime w/ Jerry Harrison and Wally Ingrim, are as raging as anything you will see in live music today. Download this show if you only get one of the Oakland run, but all 3 would cerainly keep you smiling for a while. P.S. Props to the staff and crew at the Paramount - they kept the vibe very kind.

Being a southeast brother I prefer not to pontificate, and or argue about inconsequential nuisances...and stuff and stuff. (I)Was not at the show...but by god it is nice to have you boys back. Can`t we all just stop over analysizing everything and just admit that the GENTLEMEN bring it everytime no matter what our fan based preferences R. It is SWEATERS AND SHOWS SEASON FOLKS..........SMILE AND BE EASY. MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT TO ALL.

Great show but the mix came out sort of muddy---at least in the back of the theater where we were---might`ve been better if everyone had turned down just a shade or if they`d actually blasted the roof off the place!! jimmy herring is a treasure of jam rock guitar.
