Henry J. Kaiser Convention Center
Oakland, California
This show kicks off 1989 for the boys on what had become home turf of sorts, the Kaiser Convention Center. The setlist and playing are both solid, though there is not much that makes this show rise above. But truth be told, nobody will come away from this show disappointed. Moreover, 1989 was a good year for the Dead, perhaps the last of the good ones, so this show is worth a listen for that reason alone.
