This music DVD is a recording of the Daryl Hall - John Oates (and band) performance of a once only concert in July 2014 at Dublin's Olympia Theatre. The DVD includes interviews with D. Hall and J. Oates at the end. I have listed the songs performed at the end of this review.
The performances of Hall and Oates and their great band were just superb and, if the incredible feedback from the very appreciative audience was any guide, the live sound in the theatre must have been really fantastic because the recording certainly was. These guys are so good the audience went wild after the very first song and the show took off and was really rocking from there. As usual, the whole band gave 110% (because that is what these guys do) and the entire performance was just superb.
John (guitar and vocals) and Daryl (guitar, keyboard, vocals) are supported by : Shane Theriot - Lead guitar and vocals (a truly great talent)..... Brian Dunne - Drums ( a superb drummer)..... Porter Carroll Jr - Percussion and vocals (a terrific performer)..... Charlie DeChant - Saxophone, other instruments and vocals ( a terrific performer)..... Elliot Lewis - Keyboard and vocals (a terrific performer)..... Klyde Jones - Bass guitar and vocals (a terrific performer)
Shane Theriot performs some really great guitar work during this concert which is more than well worth listening to and Charlie DeChant some excellent sax work as usual.
The entire supporting band though is truly excellent and work wonderfully well together with Daryl and John to produce a rich and powerful sound.
Unlike many artists, these guys do not tour with a select team of specialist backing vocalists. All backing vocals are performed during the concert by the musicians themselves and they do it so well.
I could not say enough about how good this DVD concert recording is. Even if you just like Hall and Oates music a bit, I guarantee you will be quite stunned at how superb this concert is and appreciate how much work all the guys put in to produce a really memorable and truly enjoyable performance.
I will give the guys 11/10 for this show and that goes for all 8 of them. I certainly got more than my money's worth buying this DVD. (Rent it or buy it. You will not be disappointed).
The 15 SONGS performed DURING THE CONCERT are these:
MANEATER, OUT OF TOUCH, SAY IT ISN'T SO, FAMILY MAN, IT'S UNCANNY, BACK TOGETHER AGAIN, LAS VEGAS TURNAROUND, SHE'S GONE, SARA SMILE, DO WHAT YOU WANT - BE WHAT YOU ARE, I CAN'T GO FOR THAT, RICH GIRL, YOU MAKE MY DREAMS, KISS ON MY LIST, PRIVATE EYES.
