Live from Daryl's House is amazing and so much fun to watch. I highly recommend all the episodes. Daryl ain't just a singer, he's talented multi-instrumentalist! All the 'shows' are great with top talent in the various 'house bands'. The list of artists who drop by to play is astounding. My favorite is the Joe Walsh episode.
That was a great episode
YES. The guitar solo Joe played at the end of Somebody Like You is mind blowing.
It's a shame that he stopped this series. It was great
Daryl has one of the best voices in the game
Never needs to warm up and is on key every time.
@@covers_girl ikr,him, lou Graham Robert plant Richard Marx
Etc just have those next level midrange voices
@@dylankopff7139 Lou Gramm think you mean
vocal texture and style is everything.
wish daryl would bring back his Live From Daryls House show.
I know, liked it better when they actually played from his house up there in Millbrook. But he sold that & was basically playing at a bar in a strip mall. Lost a bit of cache.
Great Show
It’s also on AXS TV.
I'd like to hear Daryl live from Bob Dylans House!
@@samanthab1923 He sold that house?? It was WONDERFUL!! I know he started a resturant somewhere in that area.
Daryl Hall & John Oates are awesome! Some of my favorites: Sarah Smile, She's Gone, Out of Touch. I was so glad when they made it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Yay, Hall & Oates! Loved that sax too. They have so many other hits, I hope you analyze a another one, maybe an earlier release. And Daryl's House is a fun show too, The O'Jays episode was epic. Thanks Fil!
anyone who hasn't watched "Live From Daryl's House" on You Tube, really should!!! Fabulous show with amazing guests!!!
Daryl's House, featuring Ce-lo-Green doing I Can't Go For That is fantastic! They had a superb groove. Thank you for this superb analysis.
Love Hall and Oats! I loved how back in the day, they would also get played on "black" stations as well. They quietly ruled the 80's charts while other big names quite often got more attention.

I actually saw them in concert twice ,many years back (in two different States Ca and Wa, US). They are so amazing! Thanks for sharing. They were also kind of soulful in earlier years.
Only the greatest artists can modify their own pieces and still achieve greatness no matter how they decide play it.
Daryl's House is a great show with everyone Ray Manzarek to Smokey Robinson. He has a great band and still has his soulful voice.
💯
Daryl's House is a great show! Jason Mraz and Daryl singing is sooo good!
Is Daryl's show still running?
Howard Jones was on last and before him was Robert Fripp.
I saw them this very year in Birmingham, Alabama! 😍It was great , Y'ALL!😜 Stay healthy & safe, music fans!✌
Oh, those towers. Bittersweet memories of DH&JO's
"Maneater" in the '80s. "They meet in the middle-ground to come up with something unique." No truer words, spoken Phil, and a sentiment that is so needed now more than ever.
H&O were full on soul in a time without much of it. The songs were centered around the BASS. Tom Wolk, ladies & gents!! The bass hook from 'I can't go for that' is one of the best ever. He was the S***!
Tom T-Bone Wolk was awesome. If you haven't read John's memoir, Change of Seasons, there's a cool story about how Daryl and John came to hire him.
I just recently started to listening to their music. I do not know why I did not listen to them before this. So much music so little time in the 80's for me. Thank you for sharing this.
Ahhh.... sweet memories of the 80's... and that HAIR!!! Love Hall & Oates - awesome analysis. xx
Loved Hall & Oates! Super talented singer songwriters. This was a great live performance with excellent backing band. So many great songs in the seventies eighties and early 90s! Became the most successful duo in music history in the early 90s with 16 Top 10 singles six of them hitting #1. Surpassing the Everly Brothers. Always a big fan of Daryls bluesy unmistakable vocals! Great analysis Fil! Thanks! 😎🎼🎶🎵🇨🇦
The clip of them doing " she's gone " mid seventies OGWT is phenomenal
Daryl lives nearby and has a night club (Daryl's House) that serves very good food and books great acts. I'm sure if you were in the USA you would be one of those performers. Great analysis Fil!
Holy heck I am so early!! You are awesome my favorite RUclips channel!!
They had so many hits, for so long.
Thanks for that video. Hall and Oates were so much a part of my high school/college times. I forgot about GE Smith playing guitar for them - he was part of SNL band. I googled - had no idea that he was married to Gilda Radner for a brief time. Thanks again!
Love these guys, even with that 80's hair!
Excellent take on the guys. (G.E. Smith...really that guy is all over like a cheap suit) Fil, speaking of Hall and Oates. Have you seen the great RUclips videos from "Daryl's Place"? Musicians getting together for the love of music. Excellent production values. And great Musicians from different genres.
G.E. Smith is a fantastic musician. I saw him play a small venue with his band and they were thrilling the way they-him on guitar, his drummer and bassist-locked in together.
@@2000konnie my remark is in no way a dig. Its an old entertainers saying. It means he's very active working. I saw him twice with Roger Waters.
I said Daryl's Place I meant Daryl's House.
I always loved this song and would turn up the radio loud in the car. Never saw it sung live. It was just a catchy song to sing with. Thanks for this one, Fil. I remember all the songs you’re mentioning that they sang in the early seventies. And some in the 80’s
Hall & Oats, great!!
Oh my giddy aunt! You know something... I like the song but I can't watch the video to it because of the huge, gigantic tarantula on the piano 🥴😰😣🙈 I didn't expect to see that hairy creature of the Lord the first time I saw the video many moons ago 😅
"You Make My Dreams" is one of my favourites.
Thanks for the analysis, Fil! 🖤🤘🏽
I enjoyed listening to your informative analysis of Daryl Hall and John Oates' songwriting abilities regarding their use of techniques, influences, etc that made them successful. You reminded me of a time when genuine talent mattered; I'm not fully sure if it does now. During the mid 1980s(I was a teen then), I remember thinking Hall & Oates had the Midas touch when it came to music--one chart-topper after another! Your analysis of their abilities provided reasons for their success. I love your analysis videos because you have me musically thinking. Thanks, Fil!
Hall and oates are top flight musicians and singers and players. They wrote some great stuff. Maneater not my favourite, but she's gone ? Kiss on my list ? Sara smile ? Amazing
What a great concert, I'm going to watch it all tonight. So happy you picked Hall & Oates for tonight's video, I've been a big fan for years! Thanks!
Thank you for this. One of my favorite groups. Especially One on One, She’s Gone, Rich Girl and Private Eyes. ❤️
Thank you again ..
Excellent Fil! Thanks so much for this! So enjoyable and always so educational!
Hall and Oates have always had some great musicians in their band. In this video we see the late bassist Tom Wolk, guitarist E. G. Smith and saxophonist Charles DeChant. Daryl’s video series “Live From Daryl’s House” has some of the best live performances you can find anywhere as well as a wide range of musical guests. The musicianship is simply stupendous. There are many clips from the series available on RUclips. A few of my favourite episodes include Joe Walsh (Eps 60), ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons (Eps 63), Fitz and the Tantrums (Eps 35) and Mayer Hawthorne (Eps 43). Here are a few of he best clips:

I love Hall and Oats... Amazing they are almost 80 years old and still sound as great as ever. Legends'
Fil, thanks so much for your analysis of Hall and Oates, one third of the soundtrack of my life. I've watched this concert multiple times and it's really them at the top of their game. I finally got to see them live last year and they're still outstanding musicians and as I've gotten older, I've come to appreciate them more as songwriters. Outstanding analysis, sir!
Daryl Hall was from Kimberton,
Chester County, Pennsylvania. He went to Kimberton High School. Which is where my ex-wife graduated from. Years after Daryl Hall and John Oates became famous they came back and rocked Kimberton high school. Very cool.
Daryl fell in love with Sarah Cox.
Sarah lived in Tiburon California.
I helped her move. She was beautiful. I could see why he would pay the devil to replace her.
Would you cry a while for me Sarah.
Funny what a small world it is.
Six Degrees of Separation.
Thanks for sharing, man... didn’t know about her. he seemed to have a soft spot for Saras no matter with or without an h. Sarah Cox, Sara Allen... Thank god. That’s how we got Sara’s smile...
I thought he was from Pottstown.
Daryl is from Pottstown. He went to Owen J Roberts high school..and the song is about Sara Allen.
@@williamdemas2138 I just hate it when I've been misinformed.
I Googled it but couldn't find anything. I was driving by Kimberton High School with my soon-to-be ex-wife and that is what you told me.
Wrong Again Margaret?
@@williamdemas2138 It's 11.1 miles from Kimberton to Pottsville maybe I got the high school wrong. Or maybe they changed its name? Or maybe I was disoriented you know how it is when you're driving around with your soon-to-be ex-wife.
I always liked that song - but I never saw Hall & Oats before. A ‘helluva’ great band. Fil I’d like to ask if you to do an analisys of a specific song: Simon & Garfunkel performing the song ‘América’ - live in the Central Park Concert. Is impressive how those guys are confident at stage - singing without those earing devices, and I believe that wasn’t any after work to improve the sound. And what a great arrange - we feel the song is more beautiful than the original studio version. Tks
Support. Great concert, still for The Boxer!
That whole concert is killer, and Daryl's hair is glorious.
PBS is currently running a show about guitar players hosted by Joe Bonamassa and John Oates has been on there. I think it is called "World Of Guitar".
Went to see Hall & Oates expecting a pretty laid back concert but these guys could rock with the best of them! Great concert@
I have loved Daryl for many years, in my young days from age 14 I was obsessed with Hall and Oates,never found anyone to share the experience with sadly. All my peers used to deride my taste, I will never understand why.
Daryl and John great duo and band with them wrote some great classics songs Daryl vocals great great talent both of them live from Daryls house is brilliant great to see so many great artists there 👏
Daryl and friends - Maneater Reggae version (from Daryl`s House) reveals that John first brought this in with a Reggae vibe which they brilliantly recreate in 2013...
Such great artists live- I am having some serious hair envy (Daryl’s hair is wild and glorious as is this performance). I am wanting to ask you to do a video on Tony Orlando and Dawn (I loved them growing up). Are they too cheesy? Keep in mind Kiss on My List is kind of cheesy too. What can I say, cheesy can be awesome. Anyway, nothing about your channel would attract a mouse. Love it!
Great live version of that song complete with towering mullet! I think that is a young GE Smith. Hard to see, It looks like he’s rocking an SG during that tasty solo at the end which is interesting since he is a self confessed telecaster man.
I listened to this song on repeat.. so Manny memories..😌
Thanks Phil...... Another good one. Oat's is actually a pretty good guitarist. I like" Daryl's house" too. One of my favorite YT stops. other than your channel. 👍
John Oates is a great guitarist, he's been playing since the age of 5 (he's now 72). He plays a lot of finger picking style with his solo band, the Good Road Band.
@@hoosiermomma1571 Cool Ill check it out.👍😎
I'm not musical myself, but I love to watch finger pickers, I find the style fascinating. I especially love watching Lindsey Buckingham play, and I also love to watch banjo player, both pickers and clawhammer style. I wish I had been blessed with the talent, I'm not, but I sure have a deep appreciation of it.
Tom "T - Bone" Wolk on bass!
Heard Hall play recently in London having only been a casual fan of a few of their songs. First thing that struck me is that his band is brilliant and the second surprise was his amazing keyboard skills. I think he voice has deteriorated a bit but I don't know how much he could hear of himself. Still a great show though.
Just as a caveat...a good friend of mine Warren Pash wrote Private Eyes...
Both Hall & Oates are incredible talents. You can also look at interviews throughout their career and they seemed always capable of maintaining professionalism, while churning out hit after hit......And always so relaxed even in the spotlight. They are easily one of my favorites❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
That bass grove was part of the early Philly sound - Barbra Anna was 1st done by the Dovell's - a 50's Philly group.------ PS the lead guitarist is one of NY's top session guitarist - Also the musical director of Saturday Night Live for 7-8 years.
Have to correct myself - I'm old and saw them in Philly (before the record release so assumed it was a Philly, not NYC song)- But 1. It was the Regents that did Barbra Ann 2. The Dovels did the Bristol Stomp. (one of my all time favorite songs - hahaha)
Jacko told Daryl he stole the beat for Billie Jean from I Can’t Go for That. Daryl told him he stole the bass line too. Daryl allowed as how it was fair game.
That's funny!
Lynn Dow Well, I almost got it right...
“According to Daryl Hall, during the recording of ‘We Are the World,’ Michael Jackson approached him and admitted to lifting the bass line for ‘Billie Jean’ from a Hall & Oates song, apparently referring to ‘I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do).’ Hall says that he told Jackson that he had lifted the bass line from another song himself, and that it was ‘something we all do.’”
@@chipurBillWhite aw, that's even sweeter!
"Jacko"???
Super disrespectful and racist
Michael Jackson was a great artist and deserves better
@@mybluesaway6856 Oh get out of here with that crap! Exactly how is that racist? I have gotten so sick of people like you calling everything "racist" to the point it is losing all meaning. You should be lucky he never mentioned the other things that have come out about Jackson.
GE Smith on backing (lead)guitar, he get's around.
I would love to hear you do an analysis purely of Darryl Hall's voice. To me, this performance doesn't adequately showcase his amazing pitch. The recorded/released versions of "I Can't Go for That," "Out of Touch," "Private Eyes," and "Adult Education" are all great examples. What's always fascinated me about him is his ability to jump between notes that are far apart from each other and (to my ear) nail them both. His voice has always sounded so precise to me.
Just another level. John started this song in a Caribbean style. Then they transformed it into the Motown sound collaboration. True dynamic power.
This song started out as a reggae song. They changed it to this in the studio. There are reggae and a blues version on RUclips performed by John Oates. Look for them. They are great alternate versions that show how a song can evolve from the page to the studio.
Surprised......... Just a really quick mention (Second Guitar and back- up vocals) GE Smith best known from Saturday Night Live. Another Solid Guitar Icon. Natural musicianship. Always kills his solos. Thanks again Phil....Great analysis...
They look like they're having fun.
The American Go West :-)
The man playing lead guitar, G.E. Smith, played in the house band for Saturday Night Live for years. I think he left the show in 1995.
Hard 2 believe this was 35 yrs ago! This is probably my least fave song of theirs..but still awesome bec of their amazing song-writing abilities. Thx 4 this review, Fil. 🙂🙂☮☮✌✌💕💕
When you get some spare time I wonder if you could show us on the guitar or keyboard where these c3 C5 B3 A4 & many more that you mention in your analysis. I just would like to see it so I can fully understand it. Many Thanks
Fil, have you checked out some of the performances from 'Live at Daryl's House'? Some of the best music and collaborations you'll ever hear!
Not yet!
@@wingsofpegasus Better pack a suitcase when you do...you'll be visiting for a while!
Gee Lo Green 'I Can't Go For That' is a great start! But they're all fantastic.
Blue eyes soul at it’s finest
Plus the Righteous Brothers (first called "blue eyed soul")
The 'Abandoned Luncheonette' album seized my attention with 'Las Vegas Turnaround'.
There called H2O tour lol . Also Phl you are the man with when it comes to explaining theses bands please keep up the good work love your show God Bless.
Heh, I was wondering if that was GE Smith. Apparently, yep, it was him.
You need to analyze the isolated vocals for Maneater.
When I first heard this on the radio I thought she was a mind reader... Did eventually get it right. 😏
Saw the tour with Tears for Fears. Great fun.
Helen Birch I love Tears for Fears
@@TracyD2 So do I. Good voices, interesting lyrics, good musicianship
Fil another great look back of the 80s..great band,great memories.thx
Any plans of doing Simple Minds sometime? They have a killer performance from (I think) 2013 at SSE Hydro Glasgow of "Don't You (Forget About Me)", but they also have other great ones from that performance (like "On The Waterfront"). They still sound great, even after all these years. Anyway, they are a band that is often overlooked here in the states, but were massive everywhere else in the 80's.
I knew G. E. Smith looked famliar from Saturday Night Live, thhough I didn't make the connection til you mentioned his name.
Apropos of your discussion of Daryl and John as talented song writers. Paul McCartney said that when he, John Lennon and George Harrison (Ringo?) got together to write songs they never had writers block. They never had a lack of ideas. That's talent!
❤️ lol.
Man eater lol. Tons of energy ! Woahh
Rip T bone, bass player, one of the BEST.
Oh ... and why is lionel richie playing guitar anyways?
Underrated band these days.
Love hearing and seeing G.E. Smith what a player, quality.
Rings true even today.
For some reason these guys don't get the respect they deserve- it may be because they have attracted mass popular appeal. I can remember as a student, they were really "underground" and the manager of the record shop I frequented ordered me to by one of his import copies of "Abandoned Luncheonette". He said copies were as "rare as hen's teeth" and word had got out he had copies and folk from Leeds were coming over and buying them. Anyway over 45 years on, it's still a great record and so are Darryl and John.
Fil, Great info on the duo here, Awesome performance, I take it was in New York City, you can see the Twin Towers In the Background, when they were still there, Rock on, Cousin Figel
Yep, one of my favourite bands 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Speaking of taking a song and making it into something else... Hall and Oates wrote a song called 'I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do)'. Later on, they met Michael Jackson for We Are the World, I think it was. In any case, MJ told Daryl that he hoped they didn't mind but he loved dancing to that song so much he stole the 'groove' for Billie Jean - one of his biggest, most iconic songs - from their song. Daryl said he didn't mind as he had stolen it first. He didn't say where or from what song he stole it, but that situation exemplifies what you were talking about here.
Along the same lines, Prince stole Phil Collins' beat or groove whatever you want to call it for 1999 from Sussudio. Sussudio was fairly big for Phil and of course, 1999 was a hit for Prince. I'm not sure how much these things are noticed (by most people), but it does happen all the time. I usually notice it, though hah!
John Fogerty sued by his former label for stealing from CCR's Run Through the Jungle for his solo song Old Man Down the Road takes the cake for absurdity though. It was ridiculous because John wrote both songs, so how could he steal from himself. The judge in the case had him play both songs, and then dismissed it.
I think two of the most famous examples were George Harrison being sued for stealing from the Chiffons' He's So Fine for his solo song that became a big hit: My Sweet Lord. I believe he lost the case and had to pay some amount of money for it, although it was determined his theft was subconscious. The other is much more recent with Marvin Gaye's estate suing Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams for stealing the bass line and then some from Got To Give It Up for Blurred Lines. There were so many similarities they had to pay half the royalties for the song to Marvin's estate. I kind of agree with that one because I never saw much of value... sorry, unique, in Blurred Lines other than Marvin's portion which essentially made up the entire song, outside lyrics that were not particularly... creative.
I think there's a line somewhere between influence and outright plagiarism, but it can be hard to say where the line is or should be drawn.
As for Hall and Oates, what unique talents! Probably wouldn't choose this particular song/performance (maybe She's Gone to hear some of Daryl's soul and the song is just a really great example of how well they write and sing, etc.) but always on point, nevertheless. Really love watching Live From Daryl's House. He's multi-talented, and has a fantastic voice on top of it! Love your analysis, Fil with an F (watched your X Factor bit :p) needless to say, but always nice to hear I expect.
I have waited and waited for you to react Hall & Oates..but the older Hall & Oates is so much better. Their list of accomplished great songs is long and distinguished. This early stuff is just not their best. Please do some deeper dives from Live From Daryls House.
"Maneater" was originally conceived by John Oates as a reggae style tune. He took the song to Daryl and they work on it some more....the rest is history. If you search for a more recent john Oates solo version of "Maneater", you'll hear that the song has gone back, more or less, to its original style. Also on display with the more recent John Oates solo version is just how good of a guitarist he is.
Are you jealous of Daryl’s hair or is yours better? Love the bass.
Love Hall and Oates from the beginning of their career and they are still popular after all these years. They have the Philly sound as well as Motown and they are extraordinary musicians. It seems to just come so natural to them. I love Live at Daryl’s house. He had so many great artists including Smokey, Todd Rundgren, and so many more. Loved you analysis, Fil! You ate the best !!
Fil- a treasure trove for you- on YT- Live From Daryl’s House- exquisite live jams with acts from every era of rock and Daryl’s incredible house band. Check out Daryl and CeeLo jamming on I Can’t Go for That. Daryl sings better than ever!
I'm hoping you recognize G.E. Smith playing guitar!!
Hall and Oates had six US # 1 hits to date.More than any other duo in the history of the US charts(male,female,mixed,American or of any other nationality).They also participated in USA for Africa's We Are the World which topped the US chart in 1985 so technically they achieved seven US chart toppers.
I hated Hall and Oate's. MTV would constantly play there video, the one video over and over and over. Like dam get off there nuts already, there are other bands. Now I am older I got much more love now for them.
Surprised you knew g.e. Smith. He was on Saturday night live for many years.
Such a great live show, and also a great analysis, thanks! Have you ever thought about covering an episode of Daryl's House? I'd like to suggest the Daryl's House episode with Billy Gibbons, "La Grange." Or else Cee Lo Green doing "Crazy" or "F*ck You" at Daryl's House. Keep up the great work!
I wouldn't rank this as one of the best live performances or live mixes of this song.
Hit another home run Fil, its Raini, how are you Fil? I love Hall and Oats, thank you . Great analysis, again, I have all their music especially 'Sarah smile', sung beautiful by Daryl. Good night and stay healthy Fil from NY ,time 10:24am.👍🤘🎸🎤🍎
Damn look at all those people!
Didn't know Willem Dafoe played the guitar ;)
Even though I haven't follow the careers of Daryl Hall and John Oates they did record some songs I like. I've learn a few things on the guys tonight that I did not know thanks Fil.
I remember bopping to this song in the 80s and 90s love it!!!! and the hair on show in that video is top notch :)
