Are you serious? I could care less about Hall & Oates, but Todd Rundgren should be interesting.

I saw him a few years back. He was running this Beatles tribute show with Jack Bruce, Christopher Cross, Alan Parsons and Marc Farner. I was working at the venue at the time and it was one of the best worst shows I have ever seen. Mediocraty a bound!

They did this acoust set with all of them playing acoustic guitars lined across the stage (all sitting of course). They all sang every song...in unison. Not one note of harmony! It was one of the most bizarre concerts I have ever seen.

So Hall & Oates were fantastic, in a way that only a group of professionals playing consistently for decades could be. Spot on harmonies, huge sounding band, a million songs that you know every word too, fans pointed at flowing blond hair hahah. They did 90% of the two hour show playing anything people felt like yelling out at them, off the cuff. And T-Bone Wolk is a REDICULOUSLY good bass player.

Then for the encore Todd Rundgren came out and they did each others songs for a while, including a rousing version of I Saw The Light with Darryl and Rodd swapping lyrics.

Todds had a cold or something and honestly didn't sound that great. He was backed by Hall and Oates band yet the sound was abismal, hollow and weak sounding. I also didn't know most of the songs he was playing.

There are pictures in the Gallery that my friend Bree took, here are a few.
