GE Smith was so awesome at this concert. They all were. What a great band, great concert, I'll never get it out of my head and I'm thrilled to find clips here.
.. always amazin that a shitty 25 year old videotape can still outdo 99 % of the mobile clips uploaded just yesterday ;) just technically speaking, the content is the biz anyway - so wish I'd been there !
I was at this concert.I remember it well.Hall and Oates were fantastic and the tickets were free too.My friends and I got there hours early and we were probably about 200 feet from the stage.Hall and Oates is still one of my favorite bands of all time.
I'm pretty certain I saw this on tv. I loved Hall & Oates years earlier, but kinda got sick of their style by this time. Costumes, hair, and oversinging turned me off.
when in high school i remember this song in 84, was amazing!!! every week hits that still play today in clubs, radio...no need to reincarnate and go back in time
God, I love this shit. Daryl, John, T-Bone, and that G.E. are all smooooth!! Looks like one helluva concert, the energy just reaches out and touches you.... especially after all these years. They were and still are great, thanks for posting this for us all to share.
man this is a great song. they actually wrote this song and offered it to tha stlylistics . but tha stylistics producer said u sing it, u have a hit. As an artist, u have to appreciate music like this no matter what kind of music u do.
Holly shit! Look at that mullet and the sideburns!! Lord save me I never thought there were people who looked like that..... Besides justin gayber and the fag bros!
OMG I was at this show. Gary US Bonds opened, then Til' Tuesday and then H&O. Was about 95 degrees with no clouds. Worse thing I remembered was it took 5 hours to get out of the parking lot of Liberty State Park. People were selling 2 liter bottles of warm pepsi and coke for 10 buck a bottle and getting it ! Cold bottles were 15 buck !
Daryl sporting the lion look, & skinny as hell, probably taken a wee dab of the white stuff. Embracing the 80's to the max. An all inspiring performance, truly awesome!
Daryl's hair was never better!! A year or so before this is was into that Elvis look with the dress shows and the swing-daddy slacks with the funny 50's vests ...then here is was adapting to the 80's fashion for sure.
I saw hall &oats at the Borgata on Saturday. They were even better then they were in the 8o's ... there band is awesome. We will miss you T-Bone!!!! They have not aged at all. i want some of what they are drinking!!!
I can't believe T Bone Wolk is dead. He worked so closely with these guys, and he was an especially integral part of Daryl's latest venture on his Live from Daryl's House website. So sad. RIP.
Ha, I love the way Daryl gets out of the chopper and keeps ducking his head as if he's worried about the propellers - bless him! That's what you get for being so tall I guess. Love these guys, they're just brilliant, so underrated in the UK and Daryl was so damn HOT - no one else could get away with those pants! Thanks for posting!
The first 90 seconds of this video are incredibly dull lol...really bad editing if they were trying to convey excitement and anticipation. The performance part itself, though, is excellent...Daryl Hall's voice is insanely perfect live. Lots of energy and damn impressive crowd shots.
The energy and excitement in this video is like experiencing a peak moment... what a high life it must be to perform in front of a crowd like this... and the sunset makes it a perfected slice of something extraordinary.
Maybe if people like you just sat, chilled the fuck out and listened to songs like this or Everybody wants to rule the world then maybe you would stop caring about yourselves and actually pretend to give a shit about all the other problems the world has been faced with in the past decade or so.
Gotta love the excesses of the 80s....given that they lived in Greenwich Village at the time, I wonder if the helicopter was best value fare on offer!
thanks for posting this,not seen it in years,i use to have it on vhs and i use to watch it while getting ready to go out on the lash in the late 80s,great days.
Grateful that you posted this. What a brilliant song. A glimpse of what timeless pop sounds like in any decade. Better yet: listen to "All American Girl" from the same album. Amazing.
they seem to play faster live and liven up the songs a bit, which I think is fantastic, because you get two sides of them. It takes a very special talent to be able change the songs in the way that they do, without changing the structure or notes, but to somehow still make it sound different.
I've been looking for this version ever since I stupidly recorded over it over 20 years ago. It was on HBO back then. I knew that guitarist from SNL was there. Thanks for posting it.
Anyone know if this video is available on DVD? I have a VHS copy .. somewhere .. downstairs in a box, I think. I would like to have a more durable copy on DVD. If anyone knows if one exists, please let me know. You can reach me at: Digital_Guy (at) Hotmail (dot) com (Please include "HALL AND OATES/YOUTUBE RESPONSE" in all capitals as the subject, so that I will recognize the message). In advance, thank you.
