thanksto my thanks to my colmpete and utter addiction to hall and oates and pop up video i know that this video was actually the idea of the director and H&O wanted to do this in a high school where they were singing in multiple teenage type situations but the director wanted to do this and hall later said it looked like survivor on acid

Kids in the seventies and eighties(punks) hated the self-absorbed nature of the baby boom generation. Diamond Dogs is a brilliant album. It has nothing to do with baby boomers just George Orwell mostly. Fripp from King Crimson is a brilliant musician. Way too ideosyncratic to affect Hall & Oates.

Our biggest waste of $250+ dollars for a concert of less than 1.5 hours. The band overplayed the bad performance of Hall while Oats just played on. The sound was off keyed and it was hard to recognize what songs were being played. It is time for the group to stop playing! They are an embarrassment. When you are given a bad meal you can get some reimbursement but when you pay for a god-awful concert the only thing you can do is walk out like so many of us did. DO NOT waste you time and money if you plan on going to a H&O concert.


We saw Squeeze and Daryl Hall and John Oates at the Mann Music Center in August and loved the show. Fans of all ages were dancing to the music and Daryl and John sounded great. Their bandIs awesome and everyone enjoyed the show.


I saw them in the height of their career and had metered my expectations since its been 35+ years. I have been to a number of concerts and this was the worst sound I have ever experienced. It was like having cotton balls in your ears and everything dulled. Granted the vocals aren't as crisp as they once were but they are old and might be expected. Its always heart breaking when you see a favorite and they cant sing to tempo anymore as this was the case. Putting all that aside the sound man needs to change careers. After reading other review of previous shows in the past few years they all say the same thing, Either H&O hangs it up or they get a new sound man, this was awful, painful and made my heart cry. One of my teenage favorites butchered into oblivion. I am shedding a tear now thinking about it. LOL


opener Squeeze was great, the kick drum volume literally drowned out the whole band & ruined it. we were 11 row center. front of house guy should be fired becuase it was exactly the same for Hall & Oates. Also Daryl Hall was visibly & verbally annoyed the whole show at his monitor mix & his monitor guy. both bands played great though....


Was lucky enough to score tickets in the 4th row and was excited to see Hall and Oates up close and personal. Huge disappointment. Hall has lost his voice. What the entire night sounded like was a poor Hall and Oates tribute band. Sound was terrible which looks like was a problem at other performances. Whatever the problem was it needs to be fixed and fixed fast. I don't understand? His voice is aged and shot and the back up vocals not much better. The entire tempo of their set was in slow motion. Got the vibe of a funeral. Yeah they played a lot of their hits but it was 8 musicians not performing together as well as the sound crew. Darryl multiple times was motioning for the sound guy to expand the sound. never happened. Darryl couldn't get the microphone to stay in place while on keyboards even after stage hand came out at least 2X's during the show. I think they should have apologized which was obviously to them and most of the people there a poor performance. Oh well.


Daryl Hall should retire, his voice is gone. There must be a rift between the two because there wasn't any interaction. The music was too loud, they didn't play many of their hits and that's what we came to hear. With the encore they played 11 songs!! Most of the songs ended up with a jam session in the middle of the tune. Save yourself the dough. Stay home and listen to them on your lounge chair.


The last time Hall and Oats were in town the concert was disappointing. However, this time it was worth the money to see them. They are getting up there in years, but they still put on a great show. Their backing band was great, sound was great. The performance as a whole was really good.. They did an amazing job. It was a pleasure to hear them play the songs that I remember as a kid and grew up with. Ill go back and see em again when they return.


August 13th The concert occurred during hot as hell weather. We thought that may have affected the sound--maybe not according to reviewers who enjoyed the concert on other dates. We loved seeing the John and Darryl together, but the sound, tune lineup, and lack of touchy feely between the two made it disappointing to us.


A disappointment!The sound was off, Halls voice was not very good, he spent most of the night trying to get the sound crew to get the sound and voice right.They cut the shoe short,they knew they did not sound good.Mr. Hall,Replay this show! Your fans deserve it!!!


I have never seen Hall & Oates live, but with all the hits we thought the show would be great. I was disappointed. Sound mix was off, feedback was heard regularly and Daryl Hall made no adjustment to recognize his voice is not what it use to be. Many of his contemporaries travel with complementary back up vocals and work as a team, with the backup singers taking the high notes. He did some weird vocal things. Squeeze was with Hall & Oates and completely upstaged Hall & Oates. They rocked!


We had great seats in a day full of fantastic music at the Mann Center but were sorely disappointed by the main act. Hall and Oates clearly hate each other. They came on stage without even acknowledging each other and basically had separate performances. The lack of energy brought down the hall. We were so disappointed - we left early!


This is for the Madison Square, Garden show on February 28, 2020. Not sure if the soundman had hearing aids or not but the sound was absolutely horrible. Bass was Way out of proportion to the rest of the band. You could hardly hear Daryl Hall sing nor understand the lyrics, the overall performance was excellent, it was good to see the band back together again. Got to do something with the sound guy before I see them again. Squeeze came on second and they sounded excellent and there performance was outstanding.


Despite not being a fan of alternative music, Squeeze stole the show and spot on. Huge fan of Hall and Oates, thus the reason for going, and their sound and demeanor were way off. We hardly understood Daryl when speaking, live center video off speed, and it was painful to observe a group of talented musicians not into the crowd (except for sax, drums, percussion but even they did not seemed thrilled to perform) and just going through the motions. (The crowd even reflected their lackluster performance.) It was blatantly obvious they didn't want to be there (or even like each other) and what was with the poorly executed extended songs? (It was like a run on sentence!) I get you want to change it up after singing the songs for decades, but we wanted to hear the originals (or even close to it) and at $300 (plus $60 parking, the commute, and cost of dinner) we had to leave after Sara so the taste in our mouth didn't become disdain. We hoped it would get better and had to bow out, which we've never done. Not cool to disappoint the tri-state and the negative buzz is out there. They didn't even capture the younger crowd to solidify them. Please, do yourselves and us a favor and stop touring as you don't exude the love for your craft nor your faithful fans. I'd rather my lasting memories be of the passionate group we saw in the 80's, not the ones observed last night. Sorry, as it pains us to pan them. How disappointing.


We did not go to see Train, but like many others said they were were pretty great! A lot of energy, audience participation and tight sound(plus a Led Zep song to boot) Hall & Oats were a disappointment in sound and their extended versions of 3 minute songs that sounded more like a garage band. I grew up with H&O and still love listening to their library of hits. My overall biggest gripe was their noticeable dislike for one another. Yeah i know they have been together a long time but when the songs you hear remind you a pleasant pasts and the guys singing can't each look at each other, not to mention $100.00(+) ticket prices, I wont see them again


At Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif. on August 7, I was a little worried during the first two songs, as it seemed Darrel Hall's voice was tired, but then he hit his stride. When he moved to the piano for "Sarah Smile," he brought down the house. Strong finish with a wonderful encore wrapped up a great evening. Collaboration with Train's lead singer was a highlight. Train was great, but the microphone for the vocals could have been turned up more, as the sound mix was off all evening. Kandace Springs has pipes, as well.


For years, Hall & Oates has been on top of "must-see" list and had been looking forward to Seattle show for months. Train was awesome and first gal forgettable (even though she reminded us of her name every few moments while her name was on screen). H&O's vocal sound was just horrible and as last show, you think they would have worked out those kinks by then!


My husband has been a huge HAll and Oates fan for years and we have been to several concerts in the past. We took our adult kids for a family bucket list concert and were truly disappointed. I was bored after just a few songs. Agree with the other reviewers HAll seemed a little off, the band was so loud you could barely hear any lyrics and quite frankly I could even recognize some of the hit. Favorites. John Oates seems an afterthought unfortunately because when you can hear them they can harmonize so beautifully.
