Upcoming Hall & Oates to Play Seattle
posted by on May 14 at 10:29 AM
Just announced: Daryl Hall and John Oates will hit Seattle’s McCaw Hall on Monday, August 27. Tickets cost $69.50, $59.50, $49.50 and $39.50 and go on sale Friday, May 18 at 10 a.m. at all Ticketmaster outlets or ticketmaster.com.
I’m pretty curious to see what they do. Now, not in 1985, but 20 years after their heyday. Plus the chance to see “Maneater” live is pretty enticing. But it’s billed as the “Soul Violins 2007” tour, a name taken from a song on their 2004 album Our Kind of Soul, which leads me to believe they’ll focus more on their mediocre new stuff rather than their stellar old stuff. That would be a travesty. But the potential here for sad/celebratory nostalgia is great, sorta like when I saw Duran Duran a couple years ago.
oh really...maneater you say...

I saw them last summer at the Paramount. They owned the place. They have nothing to prove. They sounded terrific. Their catalog is so deep, it's deeper than your love.
oh man. must disagree brad. i saw them last summer at the paramount and the SUCKED. they've repurposed all of their songs into the kind of adult contemporary muck you hear on radio stations with names like "soft fm". seriously. don't bother.
It'd be one thing to see H & O at, like, a county fair or the Zoo or a winery. But McCaw Hall? Is that really necessary?
i wish oates would grow his nut-duster back.
thank you, yacht rock.
