Hall & Oates Live 1976-1977 (DVD, 2005)

Description

Though Daryl Hall and John Oates reigned as two of the finest blue-eyed soulsters of the 1970s, the close of that decade saw them expanding their Philly sound with radio-friendly pop and disco influences. The result–a canny synthesis of their doo-wop soul roots with New Wave energy and hard-rock grit–made Hall & Oates one of the biggest-selling and most beloved pop acts of the 1980s. This concert film captures the band in their early years, performing live renditions of “Rich Girl,” “Sara Smile,” and seven other songs culled from their soulful albums BIGGER THAN THE BOTH OF US, ABANDONED LUNCHEONETTE, and WAR BABIES.
