Diana Ross at Amazing Art Deco Oakland Paramount

[supremester]

Anyone thinking of seeing Miss Ross this fall might like to take a look at this venue. I've been there twice and it is a stunning Art Deco wonder - like stepping into OZ [[1939 OZ)

I saw Diana Ross at a sold out show there a few years ago. One of her best shows that I have attended. And Greg you are so right the place is stunning.

[vgalindo]

I think I will make plans on attending this show. Not a bad seat in the house.

That was a killer show. I saw Robin Thicke/Jennifer Hudson there as well. I took so many pics but they just don't do it justice. I've never been so wowed by a venue - not even Radio City.

I had 5 min of fame at the Paramount singing a verse of "My Girl" with the Funk Brothers.

Unfortunately, pictures were not allowed. They were here the day Standing in the Shadows of Motown was released on DVD. Darlene Love and Ben Harper were guest vocalists.

It was certainly an honor and incredible once in a lifetime experience for me to be on the same stage with the Funk Brothers and members of the Philly International Orchestra. I can remember audience reaction as I was singing and a lot of them believed I was a plant. To say the least, I'll never forget that feeling as long as I live and I have to smile every time I think about it. That experience inspired me to do my own project.

If ever a showplace was perfect for Diana Ross, this is it. She's the only one I know who goes perfectly with the decor! Made for each other. Both are just so beautiful.

Hmmm I wish I could go there. This is why I am for the arts because we need places like this to exist. People who want to stop giving to the arts make me cringe.
