Amazing Performance!!!,
By
This review is from: Daryl Hall & John Oates-Live at the Troubadour(CD/DVD) (Audio CD)
It hardly seems as though thirty-five years have passed since Daryl Hall and John Oates played The Troubadour. These gentlemen are like a fine wine - they get better with age! If you are looking for a cookie cutter recording of the songs you know and love, this CD may not be right for you. That being said, I submit to you that with the new arrangements and instrumentation found on this CD, your favorite songs will sound better than ever!
What is apparent to the listener is the fact that the vocal performances and harmonies are stronger and more intense than ever before. In addition, the multi-faceted and extremely talented T-Bone Wolk and Charlie DeChant shine bright during this performance. As for the DVD part of the package... I cannot give it such high reviews. The editor on the project has seen fit to jam the performance full of extremely quick cuts - enough to cause the viewer to need a dose of Dramamine. There are blatant mis-synched shots where Daryl doesn't even look like he's singing the same song as being played. I am aware that this was a two night, best of, compilation. But, I believe that any of their single song performances would have served the viewer better than what was slapped together. It was a good effort, but I feel more of the performance electricity by listening to the CD than watching the DVD. If you are a die hard fan that HAS to see the performance in order to take away the magic, then buy the combo. If you are truly a music aficionado, and simply want to envelop yourself in the joy that is "Hall and Oates," then the CD is the way to go. For me, listening to "When the Morning Comes," brings me back to a moment in time when a young child fell in love, simply by turning on her AM radio. So, on this Thanksgiving night, I give thanks that Daryl and John (and all which encompass Hall and Oates) continue to share their gift with all of us!

Well worth the money!,

This review is from: Daryl Hall & John Oates-Live at the Troubadour(CD/DVD) (Audio CD)
I bought this set after seeing Hall and Oates in concert in a small venue. They were great at that concert, but it was relatively short, as concerts go. They mentioned this CD/DVD set to hear more of our favorites. I have their CDs from the 70's and 80's. Live at the Troubadour has all of their big hits, and even my favorites from their early years. Hall and Oates are fantastic in concert, the musicians are great, and the DVD is great to watch!

Hall & Oates Fan Must Have,
By
This review is from: Daryl Hall & John Oates-Live at the Troubadour(CD/DVD) (Audio CD)
If you are a fan of Hall & Oates, you must get this set. I saw them in Atlantic City a few weeks before this concert and loved the concert and them so I had to have this set. It's almost as good as seeing them live and they play all the great Hall & Oates that the fans love. It's also great to watch them play. I can leave the DVD at home to watch (almost daily) and take the CD's with me in the car.
