Believe it or not, the 2nd concert I ever attended was Hall &
Oates on June 23, 1977 at the Garden State (now the PNC Bank) Arts
Center in Holmdel NJ. I was a big fan of the tune She's Gone, which
when re-released in 1976, went to #7 on the Billboard charts. I also
really enjoyed the songs Sara Smile, which went to #4 on the Billboard
charts, and Rich Girl, which became the duo's first #1 hit. I saw the
band for a 2nd time on September 14, 1978, also at the Arts Center. At
that point, the duo's sound started to take on more of a pop music feel,
and I lost interest in them. Despite my lack of enthusiasm for the new
direction, the band soared to new heights, scoring five #1 hits in the
early 1980s.
This FM broadcast captures the band at the start of that
run of commercial success, on August 19, 1980, 41 years ago today, in
Pittsburgh.

NICE share! Really great sound, and a nice performance. Nice story, too, about them being your 2nd concert.
Personally I hope this is the first of MANY H&O posts - love their music, and I get any boot of theirs I can. Thanks so much, speedy.
Thanks for the kind words. I don't have many H&O shows so I can't promise that they'll be many more posts of them. Hopefully, we post lots of other music yiu enjoy as well.
Thanks Speedy!
Love me some Hall and Oates, look forward to this listen.

Thanks so much - They may have gone pop, but did it so well.
