Hall & Oates: Makin' the Women Swoon 30 Years Later

I'll tell you what, I've had my doubts about growing old. But after seeing Hall & Oates at the Hollywood Bowl in the $7-nose-bleed section, I am officially ready to turn 50. Granted, I don't have the golden vocal chords that Darryl Hall does, but seeing college-aged girls drool over a man who could be their father has given me some hope about old age. Here's a video:
Not only did their songs sound great after 30 years, they actually added a 4-piece stings section and a wizardly-looking utility musician on stage for some quality break-downs and solos that didn't come off superfluous. If you missed them, sorry. If this is the first time you've heard of them, it is time to jump on the bandwagon. I would recommend buying/downloading The Essential Daryl Hall & John Oates (2 Discs).
