Friday night, Hall and Oates gave a spectacular comeback show to a sold-out Madison Square Garden that NYC will never forget!
Opening act Mayer Hawthorne opened the show while Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings tore down the stage performing jam after jam including her hit ‘100 Days 100 Nights’. She set the tone for an awesome night with an emphatically energetic performance and braced us for the ultimate headliners.
Daryl Hall and John Oates wowed the crowd breezing through countless hits without missing a single horn, snare or beat. Soul music and live instruments were on the menu as fans sang in unison to arguably one of the greatest groups ever. As one of the best-selling duos of all time, Hall and Oates bridged the gap between music fans of all generations. The crowd stayed on their feet as the duo and their extraordinary band played through their impressive setlist including fan favorites ‘Sara Smile’, ‘Maneater’, ‘Rich Girl’ and their smash hit 80’s single from the album Private Eyes, ‘I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)’
The entire night proved to be one long jam session but personal enough that the audience felt like they were upstate at Hall’s infamous, ‘Live From Daryl’s House with Daryl Hall’. A must see concert we’ve been waiting for, Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings will be joining Hall & Oates on tour this summer. You don’t want to miss this!
