Daryl Hall & John Oates Reviews

Dave Allen from Detroit, Michigan

NOT THE BEST PERFORMANCE

The sound was a little over modulated and some Instruments washed out. The worst part was they would either drag-out sounds longer than the original (most likely to consume time or play less songs overall) and augmenting the lyrics or not singing the lyrics at all. Sara Smile...Hall just did "smile". Very poor quality. We usually stay for concerts to the end but left early with two songs remaining. At least the tickets were cheap.

NOT THEIR BEST!!

We have seen them 3 times and watch the show and YouTube videos regularly. I believe Hall is a gifted writer, player and performer.. and he seems very meticulous with the show and videos. Yet, this concert sound was way off and over done. I videoed a few songs, and they sound much better than being there...maybe the recording minimized the distortion the audience heard! Too bad.. AND... the warm up act sucked.. and played way too long. Not a great show’ Jim

BEWILDERED

I don't know where to start. I had the priveladge of seeing these guys early in their careers so I had a point of reference. Something is seriously wrong with Daryl. My heart was breaking as I witnessed him struggle all night. He didn't know the words to some songs. He talked the words instead of singing them. John Oates bailed him out when he couldn't remember half the bands names. He either has dimentia or he was drunk. I hope it's the ladder because that can be fixed. Songs were overplayed with instrumentals that don't fit in the songs. Pace was slow that it made the songs unrecognizable at first and quite boring. It was very evident that they wanted to play as few songs as possible. I hope Daryl is Ok because the rest of the band particularly Oates was really on. Oates is a class act and I'm sure he's frustrated. I really think they should cancel the tour and get Daryl straightened out whatever the problem may be. I've seen the Who, guys in their 70's play their songs at a 70's pace so why the heck would they slow it down to the point where the songs sounded like shit. On the bright side my daughter got to witness history with dad. She said, I understand why music was so much a part of you life. The eight bands were a delight overall and we danced the day away. We laughed and ate plenty of hoagies and overpriced lemonade. Kool and the gang were great and the nasty delicious had us laughing out asses off.

ODD SHOW- HALL'S VOICE?

Daryl Hall was really struggling. If it wasn't his continual angry animated hand gestures to the sound guy, it was obvious frustration with the microphone boom adjustment. Midway in, he seemed to have a sudden voice issue, and every song that followed was either "half sung" or he'd sing an almost inaudible low note for every high note in the song (more than just not hitting the extreme highs that every singer loses over time).

A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED

Granted these great musicians have been together for over 50 years but father time seemed to have could up with daryll's vocal cords. He just seemed off. Still had a good time. Squeeze was fricking great!

UNDERWHELMING

100% reiterate every disappointed fan's feedback listed here. That is EXACTLY what occurs. Hall seems absolutely disinterested. I still love them and their music, and I'd pay to see them again. But it was sad to me. Squeeze was absolutely INSANE good. Cannot wait to hear them again. Sax player for H&O was fantastic. It's worth seeing, but there are zero lies in this thread about the feedback, complaining and hand gestures to the sound guys from Hall the entire show.
