Movie Reviews of Daryl Hall & John Oates: Live in Concert

Movie Review: What A Show
Summary: 5 Stars

Hall and Oates sound better than ever on this dvd. Hall's voicE ages like fine wine. He turns in smooth gospel - like readings on "Sarah Smile", "Everytime You Go Away" (requested via phone by Carly Simon), and the cover of "Me And Mrs. Jones". He gives "Rich Girl" a nice, bluesy feel, and rocks out on "Maneater", "Private Eyes" and "You Make My Dreams". Oates contributes some great guitar work and harmony vocals, as well as a stunning duet with Hall on "She's Gone".

The 5 bonus songs provide an additonal thrill. First, there's an exhilerating version of "Family Man" that beats the studio version by a long shot with its eerie acoustic intro. Next comes two great songs from the "Do It For Love" album, "Life's Too Short" and "Getaway Car". "One On One" is dusted off and done nice and smooth. Finally, there's a blissful rendition of "Kiss On My List" with Hall's great keyboard florishes.

The extras are anothe gret part. There's a nice, indepth interview with the duo, with Hall taking up most of the screen time. There's also a phone call montage and a discography.

My only complaint is that, with the exception of the woman who requested "It's A Laugh", no hardcore fans called up. The songs selected are basically casual hits. You would expect someone to call u something like "Las Vegas Turnaround", "How Does It Feel To Be Back" or "Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid". You know, something rarely heard. But other than that, this is really a great dvd that everybody will enjoy.
