Hall & Oates - Rich Girl (Live)

[tickletitsmcgee99]

this song was good until this happened. i promise to shave my mustache!

[fosterchild4523]

I don't know what it is about the 80's but compare this live version of this tune to a live version of it in the 70's. There is no comparison. The 70's version has 1000% more soul and bad ass feel to it. There was something about the 80's that totally sterilized good songs.

[GospelAccording2ME]

@fosterchild4523 Great comment. I agree with you...the studio version of this song is perfection. I remember watching this when it aired and thinking that Hall was high or something. I now realize he had probably performed this song so much, it had taken a different form over the years. He probably wishes he could sinjg this tune like he did in the studio. Either way, brilliant song.

[AcXr50]

I was close to being born at this point 

[cavalierfan1995]

i was 8 when this came out on video a great song i miss the 80s

[AppGuy02]

kinda of inspiring with those twin towers!

[jordankelley1]

@mustangdrew I never got to see them in real life but I want to I wish they would rebuild them exactly where they were and exactly the same everything

[auntstacey123]

@jordankelley1 That would be great! They were awesome live. That is one concert I wish I could freeze in time & go back to over and over again, especially when I'm having a bad day!

[mustangdrew]

@jordankelley1. Agreed. Brings back alot of memories.

[jordankelley1]

The world trade centers looks awesome with the way the sky is

[Eaglesinthe732]

This was my first concert ever!

[muzikfreek1000]

I just think its great that G. E. Smith is on stage with them. Always was a fan of his just didnt realize he worked with these guys too..

[malathis0]

Dear god, that hair is glorious.

[987puli]

i wanted a poster of them on google images lol but in all of them they look really lame :(

[TheCharisseAcosta]

New Jersey? No wonder it looked familiar!

[PopGracewood]

lol does he say "rich bitch girl" at 0:13

[frankdidit]

@PopGracewood obviously

[SBogatz]

Twin towers very moving...

[durkinator88]

daryl hall looks like dennis leary, i bet hall gets more ass

[bassmasta724]

ok antiks72 dont be an ass. 9/11 was a sad day and i think it would be a good idea for ppl to take a moment of silence and remember that day that america was under attack. god bless america

[Jaylasplenty]

I think I was in Kinder Garden then. They don't have stuff like this anymore. Remember hands across America?Those were the days.

[rkhavana59]

Another fantastic tune by a great group.

[jonyalfredo1973]

Se extraña la buena música de los 80

[zeppelinesque]

Is that G.E. Smith from SNL on guitar?

[hideawayblues]

@zeppelinesque Yes, that is GE!

[Anglynn74]

I was there that day. You could toggle back & forth between Liberty State Park & South Street Seaport area with tons of events going on. Was quite an interesting weekend.

[thetaz00]

I think what's most IMPORTANT about this video is that at 26 seconds is that you can still see the WORLD TRADE CENTER in the background. A moment of silence to everyone that lost their live SEPTEMBER 11TH 2001.

[Antiks72]

@thetaz00 STFU about 9/11 please. This is about music not 9/11.

[lazycrazy24]

@thetaz00 who gives a shit about 9/11 anymore.

[biffer43]

@lazycrazy24 the families of the murdered people you JACKASS!!!!!

[lazycrazy24]

@biffer43 Maybe its time to get over it and move on.

[biffer43]

@lazycrazy24 tell that to them.

[lazycrazy24]

@biffer43 I wish i could. I just dont think 9/11 was that big of a deal. There are starving people all over that are not fed because the government doesnt supply it. Why? Because there is no money in it. The govt only wants your money. Our country is the bad guy to a lot of people. Its our own fault.

[pammylove2]

@lazycrazy24 Why SHOULD the government be expected to feed people? You should be responsible for Feeding yourself. I can understand a gov't program to help feed people for a limited time when times get really tough but ...Forever? You expect the gov't to pick up where mommy and daddy leave off? Grow up and fend for yourself, ya baby.

[lazycrazy24]

@pammylove2 no, i ment places like africa. there is plenty of food to go around the world but the govt wont ship it. i didnt mean the lazy americans on welfare, i ment starving africans and other places like it. Other countrys hate us.

[roomserviceband]

Hall looks like Gary Glitter!

[ainegs]

he's got quite a lot of hair!

[dubya12825]

Daryl looks like Hasselhoff. JMHO!

[MansourtheAmazing]

@dubya12825 haha he does

[IdontCheckMyEmails]

Dude Hall is so Gone, man....

[Afafa0das0Usurper]

i thought they said coke kills. these cats dont look dead to me. these dudes look like theyre on blow.

[mookiepinch]

waaaaay back before Hall n Oats became pop icons,they were R &B Soul brothers.As a matter of fact, they are the only white group to ever have the privaleg to record on MOTOWN RECORDS!!!!

[JamaicaGold1]

@mookiepinch DAmn right, I remember I was 10 years old when I got this as a single on 45RPM and Stacy Lattisaw Love on a two way street for my birthday. I wore off those vinyls by the end of the summer. I now have the CDs but records just sound more live so i´m buying vinyls again.

[magfour1]

only $5?

[YT54IB]

Gospel / Soul / 80's...

Classic

[LuneyTune72]

He looks like David Hasselhoff in this video

[Eeza07]

@LuneyTune72

Definitely agree with you on that!

[essertpitay]

Thanks for posting a clip of this great concert...Does the DVD exist ?...

[thechazdarby]

i remember that show...forgot about the scary little grids of painted white par cans on the upstage that they fly out without guying them off on the bottom...lotta faith in not having any wind!!!! cool show.don't remember who did production on this one...anybody? great band lineup too! GE rules!

[mookiepinch]

@thechazdarby HBO.

[shimyshake]

I love the hair and miss the Twin Towers.

[mikebeliveau]

Methinks Daryl has indulged in a bit of the white, powdery substance!

[cjshacklett]

That dude looks like Will Farrell in an SNL skit

[Endaxorexi]

I WAS THERE!!!!!

[jeverglass]

Wow, how awesome that must have been. I've seen the whole concert on TV and it is awesome!!!!!!!!

[slabmaster]

That hair is so f$cking awful...

[MCarll]

lol, it was 1985

[kaleidoscopelover]

i love the sideburns......and the mullet. hee hee hee hee

[xTLPxDaney]

What a gay fucking mullet!!!

[swimguyLHS]

I have just recently posted the audio to this entire concert in high quality. Great Concert!

[mhmrules]

What kind of Piano is Daryl playing?

[bradleyj82]

Yamaha cp-80

[jzev]

hall has an awesome mullet.

[vikigirl14997]

Memories.

[ladyrain2009]

i want those pants.lol

[willzyx1980]

omg was that guy playing guitar in the black hat SRV??

[2turbotitaniumxtreme]

That looks like a really fun time. When I was growing up in the 80s, New York always was this great place that I wanted to be in. Then I got older and got scared of 90s culture and the preset I'd have of being poor there.

[ins7777]

Mikey Curry - Drums!

[herbertowler]

LOL

"this is about a rich bitch yall"

JOhN OATES!!

[snmjohnson]

Hey everyone who cuts down the 80' s style we jus went with the flow as you do these days. Us "older folk" absolutely had it way better than the kids "our kids" have it today. As well as the music is concerned!

[tkandme3]

dunno why they performed in jersey. NO ONE important performs in jersey.

[Atomicore]

Who's to say going with the flow was ever cool. I absolutely detest the media trends. Music/style today, for the most part, is totally horrendous.

[powerfade64]

Darryl Hall has such a great voice I wish he would have done more with it.

[snmjohnson]

Right! Completely agree!

[PEinHK]

Dog the Bounty Hunter was looking and sounding great in '85!

[TheAxelo]

hahah^^

[OrisLover]

@PEinHK Too Funny! What happen to the tan?

[codyuhing]

God they did 80s really bad

[muffemod]

reminds me of dana carvey's choppin brocoli in the beginning.

[melissav6]

damn he sounds so good live. but he looks like a thunder cat. Damn, I love them anyway!!!! :)

[stableshadow]

THUNDERCAT!!! LOL!!!

[ahuimanu69]

These guys are the SHIT and always will be. Rock n Soul on brothas.

[ranmae57]

@ahuimanu69 they used to hang out with david ruffin and eddie kendricks and that's why the sound like this!

[DodgerFan1988]

Song about Sarah Palin

[zeknight3]

SUPER MULLET!!!!! ROCK ON HALL AND OATES! OR SHOULD I SAY ROCK 'N SOUL ON! xD!!!

[Jymbo87]

The twin towers!!! what a shot,,,,, way too sad

[flytommy1]

Jymbo I thought the same thing as I saw them--what a pain to the heart. So tragic and sad. Those beautiful towers and all those people, may they walk with God, I know they are. Patti

[l3ban3s3pka]

I love this guys songs.

[Humdinger7]

I used to think they were saying "you're a bitch girl." Goodness gracious.

[ericasalad]

Now I see where Wolverine got his hair inspiration...

[voodoochili12]

1:35: GE Smith = Willem Dafoe

[BobMillahhh]

hahaha, it doesnt just have to be at that point... he always looks like willem dafoe

[jeibarrie]

Just lost my breath beautiful shot of the twin towers in the back ground. Wow

[kitakashiwa]

The Oates Moustache was in rare form in the 80s

[mookiepinch]

it took place on a scorching hot day! it was a HBO special being taped. the show started at12 noon "TI'L TUESDAY" opened,followed by GARY U.S BONDS and finally, 8 F#$'IN hours later,HALL AND OATS took the stage! We were so sunstroked,that the fire dept. boats had to spray the crowd,to avoid death by sun.

[Hellesbelle]

Yes!

[noblebeech]

Darryl's ultra-mullet stole the show!

[mookiepinch]

i was there.

[80chriso]

i agree with borski67 fully...i couldnt agree more!!!the world needs more bands like hall and oates instead of people who play other peoples songs...that doesnt include the cover of uv lost that luvin feelin by hall nd oates..haha....ther the best..cheers..thanx 4 putin it on ere!!!!

[jspla]

mega mullet

[SuddenSparkles]

I wish I had been there. I was busy dipping into my retirement savings to pay for college at the time... a long winding road that brought me riches but not in the ordinary sense of the word. Unworldy riches.

[Anglynn74]

I was always under the impression that this was July 4th in 1986 for the anniversary of the statue of liberty when they had all the festivities. I was there that year that's the only reason I remember this but hey who knows.

[sosgirl5]

what is with this? it is so off beat!

[borski67]

At least there was still a sense of melody in the 80's - Kanye, Akon, and Fergie are MELODICALLY RETARDED - these bitches (Kanye), actually think they're brilliant when in the scope of things they're piss poor writers and musicians compared to The Isley Bros., C. Mayfield, Motown and Hendrix. The sad thing is that this crew celebrates their retardedness and promotes it to the masses - the dumber the better, right thug?

[01tnql]

VERY TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ninja1018]

is the 2nd guitarist the guy who plays guitar for SNL?

[tjrox]

Yes JD Smith or something like that. The bass player is T-bone Wolk from SNL and is still with H&O

[Trookieness]

GE Smith, actually. :P

[tjrox]

I stand corrected.

[fresheggot]

this song is so gangsta

[todnyc]

best fuckin mullet of all fuckin time

[nickmorgan19457]

The mullet needs to return. Not for normal people, obviously, just 80's pop stars.

[CharlesNigro]

No, it needs to stay in the 80's....

[nickmorgan19457]

Come on, man. Just look at the raw epic power of the mullet combined with those 80's muttonchops!

[CharlesNigro]

Hmm, on second thought.... I think it still looks stupid.

[stickshaka]

Business up the front, Party in the back.

That's how they describe a mullet.

[CharlesNigro]

Agreed.

[TheWheelman1970]

@todnyc - I had a great fokking mullet too - lol

[steveklein2003]

lol 0:36 - 0:42

[cucumbersloth]

haha

[tpr6576]

I remember being 9 years-old and watching this on HBO in the summer of 1985. Back then these guys and this concert seemed like the coolest thing ever.

[DeputyDawg999]

I was a bit older, but I taped that show and haven't been able to find it again until now. Who knew that Hall and Oates would fall from grace after this? I thought it was great and always regreted that it wasn't avalible on tape or DVD. I would gladly buy it if I could.

[kathy07002]

I saw this show and was right under the stage....It was called the Liberty concert to refurbish the Statue of Liberty and the show was held at Liberty Park in Jersey City NJ. HBO filmed it live and you can see the beautiful twin towers in the background....the view was breathtaking and the show was the greatest! I loved it!

[redhagar1013]

I WAS AT THIS SHOW RIGHT IN THE FRONT ROW

[Smkythdg]

Nobody sings like Daryl Hall.

[GospelAccording2ME]

@Smkythdg These days not even Daryl Hall sings like Daryl Hall. Still, one of the best pop vocalists of the 80s.

[nikkisox]

Great Song! Great Live Version! Great Seeing The TWIN TOWERS STANDING TALL!!!!

[kathy07002]

Oh yes I agree....I was there too and the greatest thing to see there was Lady Liberty and the Twin Towers standing tall. they put on the greatest show. I was in the first row!

[thebaldwinbrothers]

I don't know what's more wrong here - Daryl's haircut, trying to jazz up the intro, or the crowd clapping on 1 & 3 instead of 2 & 4! I know they had a lot of hits and most people remember them from the 80's, but their early music in the 70's was the real deal. I love H&A, but I bet even they are cringing a little bit at this video.

[goatsandantelopes]

preeaaach !

[greekwy]

Justin Timberlake wishes

[borski67]

ha ha ha brilliant comment - yeah Idol don't have shit on H and O!!!!!

[habyss]

Tickets to this were $5.

[timin770]

@habyss That would be about $9.84 in 2009 dollars

[vodude]

Hall & Oates were really at the top of their game back in 1985. They had just released the Big Bam Boom album a year before where "Out of touch" hit #1 and "Method of Modern Love" hit #5, They had completed their world tour, Did a concert with David Ruffin and Eddie Kendrick at the Apollo & even recorded an album & video for it and they also had more top 40 hits then any other duo in rock history (29 to be exact). Amazing time for them.

[Hillbilly042]

Casey Kasem is that you????

[fantasie]

wasn't this 1986?

[RJW882]

actually July 4, 1985 to be exact

[kathy07002]

yes it was! I was there and loved the show! I was right in the front row under the stage!
