I saw Hall & Oates twice in the late 1970s, both times at the Garden State Art Center - my second concert ever in June 1977 and then again in September 1978. While my buddies and I were big fans of the songs Sara Smile and She's Gone, with the exception of Rich Girl, I don't really care for any of the 6 tunes that the duo took to #1 on the Billboard charts. In any event, soon after seeing them for the 2nd time, my musical tastes moved in new directions. 

Despite my lack of interest in Hall & Oates post 1978, the band soared to new heights, scoring five #1 hits in the early 1980s. This FM broadcast captures the band near the start of that run of commercial success, on December 7, 1979, 46 years ago today, in Boston.
