The drummer is G.E. Smith who rose to fame with Hall and Oates playing lead guitar and writing guitar solos on songs like Kiss On My List and Wait for Me before he became the musical director on Saturday Night Live for several years. He is only playing drums on this one song for the concert, he played lead guitar for the rest of the concert. The regular drummer (Mickey Curry at the time) moved back on the electronic drums for this song and G.E. too over on Mickey's drum set.
same thing here, born in 88, got the vinyl from my dad. H&O were huge here in germany. also, i cannot get over how perfect the backing vocals are live! gives me the chills
G bless ya. My memory of my dad in a happy sense was hearing Private Eyes on a subway w him like a million years ago. I'm 45. Happy 2020 to you & yours😉
@@smokeyfanWhy are you calling him blue eyed soul? Soul is soul no matter who sings it. He sounds like a black soul singer and if he was black you wouldn't have a problem with him being top 5. But because he's white you want to not give him all the credit, what even is blue eyed soul? There's no brown eyed soul, the person above is not mistaken, Daryl hall is top 5 best soul singers ever. No matter his color, there is no blue eyed soul, just soul.
My God he killed this song right here! Man that was sooooo gooooood!!! Artist today come no where even close. Damn Daryl sang da hell outta dis song!!!
I am so lucky, as are my cohorts, to have gone through high school in the 80s. Class of 1984 here, and man did we have great stuff. Hall & Oates, everyone in my two thousand student school knew the words to this entire album! We didn’t study our homework, but we sure knew every word to these awesome, timeless songs! What a great time that was to be alive!
Those were the days when singers can sing live and make it sound better than recording. When their actual voice really worked, not relying on "RECORDING REPAIRS"
Amazing performance. No auto tune, no over synth, an incredible guitarist and one of the greatest voices of that decade. The only thing I don't miss about the 80s and 90s is the sax.
@@alysonsomerville3654 No. I saw them in concert a few years ago and he didn’t have anywhere near the same range he once had. He practically talked through some of the songs. It’s to be expect at his age and with his health issues. He will always be one of my favorite musicians!
Blue Eyed Soul!! I have to respect these men along with many others like the four tops and the temptations!! Being a white boy raised on this music is one memory that I will remember forever.
Agree all the way but for what it's worth, Daryl says he hates that term. “I f-ing hate it; it’s a racist term,” Hall tells VH1. “It assumes I’m coming from the outside. There’s always been that thing in America, where if you’re a white guy and you’re singing or playing in a black idiom, it’s like: ‘Why is he doing that? Is he from the outside, looking in? Is he copying? What’s the point of it?’ C’mon, it’s music! It’s music.” Tougher thing to say in public today than it was in 2016, I'm thinking.
I was 15 when they came out with this song. So GREAT to be coming of age when this AWESOME music came out. This was why you stayed up to watch Friday Night videos or MTV because it was SO WORTH it!!! Is it any wonder we used to say: "Totally Awesome!!!"
I don't know how many times I have listened to this over the years. I love the way Daryl sung this and I love the band too. T-bone on bass and what John is doing on guitar... Perfect to me. Love this song. Crushing on Daryl😍
I REMEMBERED WHEN I FLEW TO MONTREAL JUST TO SEE HALL AND OATES PLAY LIVE IN CONCERT IT WAS A ABSOLUTELY AWESOME CONCERT BRINGS BACK LOTS OF GREAT MEMORIES!!! 😎👍
What a rhythm section - GE Smith on drums, Mickey Curry on the Simmons pads playing percussion, and TBone Tom Wolk on bass guitar. I mean, come on! Can't get much better than that
O que me encanta nesse cantor era sua maneira muito solto não tinha vergonha de dançar,muito charmoso,sua voz belíssima,quem não gostaria de dançar juntinho com essa rapaz?Acho q era um grande pé de valsa hahaha
I love this song since around 1985 ... i hear this song in my friends home and until now we are still best friend and she just get surpruse how i still remembered our best day in hight school
80's baby. We are too cool. Love H2O. Great memories. Great music. What tha hell happened to the Sax in pop music? All of our greats had cool Sax players.
Here here!!! Agreed! Truly an eclectic array or music. In the 80s a pop song would be number 1 then the next it would a rock song or a new wave ditty, like Billy Idols Dancing with myself. I mean it was truly an incredible decade for music. We had Michael Jackson, Prince. We had Lionel Ritchie. Depeche Mode, Culture Club. Madonna, Cyndi Lauper, kim Karnes with her hit Betty Davis Eyes. We had the Milli Vanilla fiasco, lol that was sad. Then we had David Bowie with that incredible album Lets Dance, who can forget the Stray Cats, Duran Duran. My God Guns N Roses they flipped the music world upside down! Bands like Simple Minds with songs that helped define the decade truly, " Don't you forget about me" man what a classic oh how about Come on Eileen by the Dixie Midnight Runners great song! We had great rap music then. Run DMC, LL Cool J, Whodini. We can't forget about Ozzy Osbourne with the late great Randy Rhoads. There were so many great artist then Devo with their hit " Whip it" lol.. We had Iron Maiden We had A very young Sebastian Bach lead of Skid Row man they were awesome. I can go on and on and on for days and still couldn't encompass the amazing music of this decade. Like Falco with his catchy hit "Rock Me Amadeus and so on. I could literally spend days and days listing all the great singers and their songs...
Best of the best of 1983 … one on one I wanna play that game tonight , one on one so slow my dearly husband . Covid took you from me but, not the memories …. One on one I wanna play that game , play that game so slowww……
John oates guitar tone is so clean it kills almost 99% germs.
Dont even compare this to today's music. Timeless.
💯 it dont
This is classic , today’s trash !
this is music...today its just noise
That voice! The falsetto, John Oates' harmonies, and the sax 🎷. This live recording actually sounds better than the record!
Because it's supposed to duh?? It's an insult to a true artist to compare a live performance with a record two different things
@@anthonytaylor7928 yea but there are many artists that can't sing as well live, and they depend on the studio to enhance their voice
One of the greatest soul singers of all time right here
Wow Darryl sounds perfect live
"you can't tell me you don't miss me girl, I think I know you too well." What a classic!

Thank you I came here to ask if it was him. I got my answer. Wow he is a multi talented musician
Además fue bajista de Dan Hartman...es un excelente músico
Those years where auto tune was not accepted in music industry.. just pure talent.
i was born in 88, but i remember my dad playing this song over and over...this is my fav hall & oates song to this day
love this song!
same thing here, born in 88, got the vinyl from my dad. H&O were huge here in germany. also, i cannot get over how perfect the backing vocals are live! gives me the chills
It's too good . No doubt
G bless ya. My memory of my dad in a happy sense was hearing Private Eyes on a subway w him like a million years ago. I'm 45.
Happy 2020 to you & yours😉
@Kiel Enrique 🤦♀️😒
His vocals are on a diffrent level
Without TH-cam, how can we watch old videos like this one. Precious.
Top 5 soul singer of all time ...Mr Daryl Hall
You must have meant top 5 blue-eyed soul singer...otherwise you would be mistaken

I didnt live through it but I can semi relive it 84 was a good year Karate kid, The Terminator Gremlins and great music
I remember my older brother buying the magazines with the lyrics for the hit songs back then.
I was so crazy over Daryl Hall.🥰
Those were the days when singers can sing live and make it sound better than recording. When their actual voice really worked, not relying on "RECORDING REPAIRS"
Daryl is such a great keyboard player. So funky and hot. I miss that. I respect that he likes to play guitar, but. . . . . . well . . . . .
Amazing performance. No auto tune, no over synth, an incredible guitarist and one of the greatest voices of that decade. The only thing I don't miss about the 80s and 90s is the sax.
One of my favorite songs ever!! So sexy..and some jazzy feel, which 80s was "hot"!!
I agree with everything, I love this song, which is very pleasant to hear for the lyrics and melody and is very sensual.
What a voice he had...such a sexy song.
What a voice he still has...
@@alysonsomerville3654 No. I saw them in concert a few years ago and he didn’t have anywhere near the same range he once had. He practically talked through some of the songs. It’s to be expect at his age and with his health issues. He will always be one of my favorite musicians!
@@Gemmarose9012Maybe he's improved now, yeah he doesn't sound the same, but he doesn't sound horrible either.
It's hard to pick a favorite Hall and Oates song, but this is one of mine! ☺
Daryl Hall & John Oates, pure talent, living legends….!
The vocal runs are otherworldly! I love Daryl so much
Blue Eyed Soul!! I have to respect these men along with many others like the four tops and the temptations!! Being a white boy raised on this music is one memory that I will remember forever.

@Francis, do you look like Daryl? If so, your sexy as hell, just saying.
The term goes back to The Righteous Brothers. Hall and Oates even covered one of their recordings. @@mikestevenson576
this whole concert is a masterpiece, vs the recorded versions of all these songs, the vocal mastery of daryl is unparalleled
Best soul singer of many years❤ Thank you Daryl ❤
I was 15 when they came out with this song. So GREAT to be coming of age when this AWESOME music came out. This was why you stayed up to watch Friday Night videos or MTV because it was SO WORTH it!!! Is it any wonder we used to say: "Totally Awesome!!!"
Live in concert, 1983, Rockford Illinois, I told my mother and family, music come in minnes of colors, good show
their music was outside of the mold, I liked that. And they always had good hair.
Daryl reaches an angelical atmosphere with this diamond of a song
To be in your 20 - 30 club in these years, Heaven. Thank you.
Yeah...no kidding!
Very true. Sometimes I will be listening to music from back in the day and inside I'm 19 again. Then I look in the mirror and ... Well...you know.
I don't know how many times I have listened to this over the years. I love the way Daryl sung this and I love the band too. T-bone on bass and what John is doing on guitar... Perfect to me. Love this song. Crushing on Daryl😍
Absolutely nailed it!!! Incredible!!!
Top of their game here. Outstanding. Thanks for posting!

Yes he can. Daryl's voice did not age.
