They were absolutely fantastic at the Fonda. It was fucking electric. Jeff Lynne may be real low key and aloof. But the live versions of the songs were great. I had no problem with that show and I'm not that big of a fan. Sandy and I had a ball goofing and dancing and flirting with the sound guy. We were there for the soundcheck too. The hits just kept on coming and Steppin' Out was stellar. We were told that they were gonna do Handle With Care, but it didn't happen, despite Petty being in attendance.<br /><br />Dunno about the video you saw, but Jeff Lynne & ELO brought their A-Game to Hollywood. It was a joyous event. Believe me. Ringo, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh, Jackson Browne and others in the crowd were just a bonus. <br /><br />There is not a proper quality video of that show circulating on youtube yet, just amateur phone shit. After New Years we'll post something far better and professional.<br /><br />VR Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-28443382644294996082015-12-23T02:01:53.395-05:002015-12-23T02:01:53.395-05:00Hall and Oates are brilliant musicians, however yo...Hall and Oates are brilliant musicians, however you might feel about their records. "Romeo Is Bleeding" is a fantastic later record by them.

At least...Daryl's got nothing to be ashamed of. At least that's what a girlfriend of mine from Napa Valley sez. She used to be his regular stop when he was in the Bay Area during the 1990's. She gave him great reviews. Her husband let her have some fun and do a rock star on occasion. Hall satisfied his wife more than he ever could. Obviously, she wasn't the only girl Daryl was tapping on the road. Who cared. Practice makes perfect, so why be silly. <br /><br />VR - See you on Pleasure BeachAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-40310313962363555212015-12-22T23:29:14.445-05:002015-12-22T23:29:14.445-05:00Love Live From Daryl's House; good live music ...Love <i>Live From Daryl's House</i>; good live music is a gift from the gods. <br /><br />I saw Hall & Oates many years ago (lessee...1981, so that makes it 34 years ago). They opened for ELO (a curious pairing; don't know how that came together). I didn't really care for the H&O set though. ELO was very good (did a nice cover of "Across the Universe" with Jeff Lynne on piano), and Bev Bevan turned in his usual powerhouse performance. But they were not as good as they had been three years earlier, in retrospect their peak (touring in support of the <i>Out of the Blue</i> double LP). <br /><br />Speaking of ELO, I caught "Jeff Lynne's ELO" on cable the other night, a live recording from this summer I guess. Color me unimpressed.

To date it, looks like Tom T-Bone Wolk who passed away in early 2010. <br /><br />Veering into Vicky territory: a local guitar maker made Hall a guitar and when he delivered it Daryl was completely naked and stayed that way the entire time the guy presented/demonstrated the axe. porcupinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08873268441429277626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8921382.post-77565316515816640282015-12-22T20:20:06.477-05:002015-12-22T20:20:06.477-05:00It fucking rocks Simels!!!!
