Where: Pacific Amphitheater, OC Fairgrounds
Accompanied by: KJ
Genre: pop rock; soft rock
Set List:
Hall and Oates (not their kiss) has long been on my list of bands I have always wanted to see. You can't be in my age bracket and not know the words to at least one or two of their songs. In fact, the only songs that I didn't recognize were the ones fronted solely by Oates, who I'm guessing had to have had issues for being in the shadows of Hall. But I could be wrong. I was just a kid back then and a fan of the music. Anything beyond that was of no interest to me. It was evident the minute we got to our seats that i was not the only one who had happy memories of Hall & Oates...Pacific Amphitheater was sold out and beyond packed. Sure, the venue isn't huge, but still, we're talking 8500 seats sold out, and then some! And while it only took about 90 minutes to get through 14 songs, it was the greatest 90 minute flashback ever.
The only downside of this evening were the number of people who thought they could sing the songs better than Darryl & John. Especially the guy seated behind us. But who was I to deny him his happiness. Fortunately, he left for enough beer runs and that made my dreams come true...oooh oooh ooh....
