I saw a video that stated it takes the average person 10,000 hours to master their craft. They toured extensively in the 70's. They paid their dues. This was them being masters of a craft and having the time of their lives. They are legends
I think the vocals are superb here actually - singing over such a quiet sounding backing track really highlights how hard Daryl's singing and carrying the performance. Yeah he goes off a bit here and there, but that's just normal LIVE stuff with no cheating auto-tune like singers nowadays. What a great pair of talented guys! (That audience should have buggered off home to play chess if they wanted to just sit like statues and stare!)
No wonder why they were on fire in the 80's. Music, live voice, projection, stage presence, musicians, they had it all. The best duo by far. Hall & Oates
@@viewtube6eBack then it was respectful to sit and listen to performers, not get up and dance. Nowadays awards shows are concerts. Back then the seats were filled with singers, industry execs, and seat fillers. Now it’s mainly rich fans screaming the whole time.
John Oates was killing it with the moves. And by the way..that audience should be ashamed of themselves. They were sitting there like they had something better else to do. Holy shit.
This performance is from The American Music Awards in 1985. I remember when I was a 13 year old kid watching this.Right after this show,Michael Jackson,Lionel Ritchie,Stevie Wonder and Quencie Jones started USA for Africa.
Shaky start but then Daryl just GOES OFF. He's mesmerizing to watch and i love everything he played around with vocally on this version. And he was dressed to impress. Gorgeous visually and audibly.
This performance was from ABC's American Music Awards January 28, 1985...Hall and Oates won category of Favorite Pop/Rock Band (Duo or Group)...and yes, Prince was there in that weird tunic garb and his famous "life is an adventure" acceptance speech. That crowd was QUITE lame for not rocking it out during that performance, backing track or not!
I remember this American music awards early 85 I think this was prince’s big night hall and Oates was the first performance they should have let them play live they could do it they were a great band
@3:20 it's the best part of the record and this live performance. This whale/scream run blew me away the first time hearing this song on the radio. The lyrics are very difficult for other to sing.
Love Hall and Oates forever my favorites, they are both gorgeous, even old, they still got it!! Met Daryl's parents twice at their concerts. Wonderful people!! Saw John's dad but he was across the other side. He was cute too. Lol. We're talking 35 yrs ago, where did time go. ❤John and Daryl forever.! ❤❤❤😘😘💋🌟🌟💋
Can't believe how lame the crowd is....smh....I sure as hell would've rushed the stage had I been there. I remember thinking Daryl was so damn fine, he's old enough to be my daddy, lol, but idc....and even now, he'll be 70 this year, but damn, he's still fine....
I was dating a beautiful young lady 1985 - She was the one & if fate had not stuck its nose I believe we could have got spliced - But back to what I was writing... Yeah back in 1985 PB got me a 12" copy of this great H&O song & I still have that baby bit crackly but other wise in perfect condition ! - Instead of playing the 12" now - I managed to get a hold of a Big Bang Boom CD with the 12" ver on it - So that gets played now instead of my Gift ...Which I will hold on to forever to remind me what should have been !!! - Great vid seeing how it was played on its release back in 1985 - Thankyou !
Yep, they sat there like figures of stone. Expressionless, sitting SO close like sardines in a can, without any oil or lubrication. Just dry eyed and motionless. They may have had difficulty even getting outta their narrow seats, being there 4 sooo long. What a pity couldn't even head nod to the beat, couldn't git out of their seats. Had I been in the band ( as tight and on point and talented and artistic as they were, putting on a 5star ultra class show. Me, I woulda had a meltdown ( a period of post show depression ) from a firmer vocalist
He's so hyped up! I would be too if I wrote this song! I love them. Especially, Daryl. That audience was so whack. Ugh! To cool to look like they were enjoying it!
I REMEMBER this... (I remember saying to everyone "did your see Hall and Oates last night? They sounded really clunky doing the m-e-t-h-o-d o-f- l-o-v-e" part.)

On a very busy highway in Holland round 5:00am, a friend stopped us, and asked if we were interested in tickets of a Hall & Oats concert. I can’t understand today that we turned him down…?!? How stupid. 1988
omg daryl is so damn hot his Voice is perfect i would have like to lived those wonderful days when they were on their good times so amazing i think i felt in love with daryl
i can tell it's the Grammy's or something like it. i don't like how Grammy audiences behave when their peers are performing. smile, you're fortunate to be where you are. plus, Daryl Hall was so cute and happy to be there, lol!
Daryl is working his arse off and the crowd are just sitting there like dummies !!! That's the problem when it's not a proper 'Hall & Oates' concert, if the room was full of true fans they would all be up dancing and singing. The acoustics didn't sound too great either. Still a great perfomance though...
The Daryl Hall's vocals improved over the years, simply because he sings a lot more relaxed than he did the.... For him the development of age was a plus more than a minus. RIP "T-Bone" one of the greatest bass players to ever pick a bass guitar.
