I don't care what you say this is definitely their best song, great performance. I wish I were born in the 60s, so i could have been the age I am now to see them and for them to be popular instead of todays crappy music.
True I cant imagine what such a crowd would feel like. But I am still grateful I could see them live near Eindhoven last year. Daryl looks fking amazing for his age.
+Shaun Webb you forgot in the middle of a worldwide sold out tour, #1 song and second on top 10, record at #1 for a record selling live dvd release of this.. was just amazing. I was there. the pinnacle of their success... cant ever duplicate it. it was for a charity to restore the statue. that's how u do charity and get attention. was on every show before and after it happened. captivated the nation. they had also done live aid around that period...

This is just...wow.... 1985...great musical performance...and that view of the Twin Towers is just magnificent....now we know that we are living in a screwed up world..
Back when you could have massive crowds gather in the USA.....and all that would happen is everyone had an AWESOME time.......guess that's the last of that.....hate 2021.....!!!!!
I came across this song on instagram & i got goosebumps, cried and felt like i heard it hundreds of times. I was born in 1984 and my mom listened to it all the time while she was pregnant with me.
God I miss the 80’s. I VHS recorded this concert. I was 13 & wished I could be there. I watched it over & over & over. Daryl was (& still is) my crush. Here he & the whole band went to a whole other level. Absolutely phenomenal set of music & energy. Thank you so much for posting this
I went to this. Was there with my parents mostly for all the festivities in Liberty State Park and South Street Seaport. But we were able to see the stage from the parking lot & hear the music & then hopped a ferry over to South Street Seaport and lower Manhattan to see the other stuff. Really REALLY HOT day. Whole thing was awesome, I believe this was a free concert from what I remember.
I was lucky enough to work with them as a dancer....a coca cola commercial for Japan during the height of this song....a beautiful experience on every level !!!!
CorneliusWashington wow!!!! What an amazing experience that must have been. Where they down to earth and easy to work with? Curious cuz they all seem so audience friendly and give eye contact. Seems as though fame had not given them an exaggerated sense of importance. I could be wrong. Was one of the duo easier to work with than the other?
Daryl was a diva...lol...from what I hear still is...love him still...JOHN...WAS A DREAM...I a WAs working out at home looked out the window and he was passing by with a STUNNING woman I yelled out to him and turned up the song he gave me the best smile....when we got in the set as just hugged and hung out ...the choreographer was VINCE PATERSON...GENIUS...VINCE put me next to JOHN...and we danced and sang through the shoot.....when the video came out if appeared like I was a backup singer because NATURALLY I knew all the words...lol...JOHN also wrote a great poem to me about ME....it was my first major gig as a dancer...I had a ball....love the two guys very much ....and I still workout to this song...and I can still DANCE my was off...GOD....IS GOOD...
CorneliusWashington what a fantastic experience!!!! Thank you so much for sharing😸. I highly respect both as artists and musicians. It’s kinda nice to think they are also decent guys and treat others with respect. Weird I guess but I can’t stand jerks, famous , talented or not. Thanks again for sharing.😉
I love them both too ....they are a part of the soundtrack of my life....my first major job as a dancer...beautiful experience ...people dream of things like this happening to them...and danced and choreographed for over 30 years..and yes some were jerks...but I loved every minute of it...
CorneliusWashington I’m sure to dance and use your abilities at that level you must be tremendously talented and I’m sure you worked hard to get there. Just realize most people only dream to live that life. I realize some will not believe this but I live about 100 feet from the house I was raised in, I teach at the school I graduated, my family was so religious , I was not allowed to go to my prom because of the secular music and dancing. Music at my house had to be gospel, I was not aloud to wear shorts or tank tops. I would sneak and make mixed tapes from the radio and wait for my parents to leave so I could play my music and dance. I didn’t even realize people had the life you describe. I keep watching videos from this concert even though it kinda makes me sad. I wanted to experience this in my youth and now it’s too late. However, I can relate to the movie footloose on a very deep level🙄. But as I said earlier you are without a doubt talented and hard working, lucky in a way that you could do what you love and experience life to the fullest. Btw I want to see that coke commercial!!!!
That mullet deserves respect! I loved this song growing up, I'm in my 40's. My mom, who's passed away, loved this track too. Songs/tracks that transcend generations, where you can listen to something with your parents or kids and both really enjoy it is remarkable to me. I could crack this track up as loud as I wanted, my mother would never complain. She was grooving to it just like myself. ❤👍
Daryl, John, T Bone, G.E., and Mr. Casual.... how could this not be GREAT? One of my favorite videos of all time. The music is fantastic and the "do's" only add to that classic touch.... Thank you so much for posting this!
Saw them approximately 2-3 weeks later in Nashville. Probably the most talent on one stage I ever saw and living there I saw everybody. Bands seemed to have that little extra zing when they played, New York, LA or Nashville. Great time to be 20’s.
This is the dumbest comment I’ve ever seen on TH-cam!!!!! How do you compare a crowd from on video to an entire decade worth of crowds???? I understand the 80s had better music, but please shut the fuck up with the ignorant ass comments!!
Could you imagine the after party john and daryl attended right after, arriving by the same chopper that took them to the concert. What a time that would have been to be these men
The 80’s were something special MANNNNN I cannot believe I wasn’t even born or at least living Thru this spectacular ERA 😌😌😌😌 out of touch and I’m only 20 Jesus Christ but idc I’m out touch when it comes to this ERA BAY-BAY 😌😌😌
Tremendo tema lo mejor del rock en el comienzo suena un cencerro le da como un impulso, la bateria, los golpes del bajo y la guitarra al final son perfectos, saludos de Argentina 😎💪🏼
that is G.E. Smith who later went on to be in the band with Tbone on SNL... Smith's style was perfect and IMO the key to their 80s success. You had all this rock n soul but GE added that little touch of something more with his ability to drag notes out a little longer than most guitarists, he added a very layered haunting sound to what H&O did.
Now that's how you start a concert off!!!!! Does anyone know what body of land the Liberty concert was heals on? Staten Island? Somewhere on the Jersey side?
In my opinion, this is the best live version of Out of Touch.
it is because it sounds like studio audio. That's why i agree with you.
This is the most 80's thing i've seen and i love it
LMAO I know the colors hairs, clothes ...everything.
@@jaroslavverner1613 also the movements
You've not seen the video of Dancing in the street by jagger and Bowie then..?!
I don't care what you say this is definitely their best song, great performance. I wish I were born in the 60s, so i could have been the age I am now to see them and for them to be popular instead of todays crappy music.
I was there!!! My first concert. 12 years old. So much fun.
The wide shot of the crowd with the twin towers in manhatten in the background at 2:39...stunning visual
Dual 'exclamation marks'; for the great NYC!
Never noticed that before in this video. Hey, whatever happened to the towers anyway?
Peak America
@@reg12269The government knocked them down.
Yup, it's 2019,... look at that huge ass crowd. No cellphones just pure fun.
True I cant imagine what such a crowd would feel like. But I am still grateful I could see them live near Eindhoven last year. Daryl looks fking amazing for his age.

You do realise they'd record too if they add capable phones at the time
I mean yeah but why complain every 2 seconds jeez
Landing in a private helicopter to perform to thousands of people, Hall and Oates are the poster boys for 80s American excess, brilliant!

It will never be the same as it used to be in the 80s, 90s, and up until 9/11. Those were the days. Maybe we can return to that one day.
Coke was up here we needa legalize it 🤣
TRANQUILOS TODOS SE ESTA DESARMANDO. GOBLESS
We are so so lucky to have real footage online from the 1980s to remind us how beautifully amazing life was back then!!!!
T-Bone Wolk was such an integral part of the Hall and Oates sound. What a great bass line on "Out of Touch" !!!
The peak of 80´s.
Back when you could have massive crowds gather in the USA.....and all that would happen is everyone had an AWESOME time.......guess that's the last of that.....hate 2021.....!!!!!
People were so happy back then..no cell phones n tablets
Night Rider, ironically I was thinking the same thing. Actually that is one of the main reasons that I miss the 80's. 👍👍
Wish i was 14 or 15 in the 80
I came across this song on instagram & i got goosebumps, cried and felt like i heard it hundreds of times. I was born in 1984 and my mom listened to it all the time while she was pregnant with me.

They knocked it out of the proverbial park with this one. The '80s; defined in one lyrical and melodic moment....
Best rock duo ever.
I’ve come to the conclusion that John Oates maybe the best hype man ever. Look at him. Gets the crowd moving bouncing all along the stage.
He also creates the song musically and co wrote the lyrics😮
Hall rockin the Mullet is so 80's ❤😅
Perfect bass line
Best 80 90 life

Phenomenal band. Mickey is one of the best drummers of the last 40 years. On the JR, Jeff, Ferrone level.
these cats truly went out at the top, this AND Live Aid happening in the same month... performing this number one single. having hair like gods

Love the guitar solos at the end, especially the rhythm guitar at 6:51 Back when listening to a song live was often better than the record.
Hall & Oates were definitely ballin' in 1985.

Mickey, you forgot Mickey Curry. Great musician.
Watch this with a big smile in the face. Love the 80's
小学生の時に聴いて衝撃を受けました、今聴いても素晴らしいです！
Phenomenal group. I sure hope they can work out their current problems. I'd hate to see them haulin' Oates off to jail.
Respect for what Daryl went on to do with Daryl's house- giving many young musicians a chance to be discovered.
now THAT is a mullet to be proud of!
Not sure about the proud but it is a fine example The Mullet.
Muito bom
T-Bone killing it on the bass here.
Saw them approximately 2-3 weeks later in Nashville.
Probably the most talent on one stage I ever saw and living there I saw everybody.

Great time to be 20’s.
Looks like a great time to have been alive. I've got nostalgia for something I didn't even live through while watching this
1980s = AMERICAN DREAM!!!!!
1980's when life was beautiful and normal!
1980s AMAZING TIME TO BE ALIVE!!
1980s PEAK HUMAN CIVILISATION
This is the most american thing ever!!❤❤😍😍
This is too awesome
These guys were great!
It just seems that crowds were so much bigger back then.
This was the only escape from life... now a days phones literally took over our lives and it's a daam shame.
People actually go out back then instead of being at home on TH-cam. lol
John Doe Please shut the fuck up with ur ignorant ass comments!!!!!!!! People still go outside just as much as they did in the 80s!!!!!!
This is the dumbest comment I’ve ever seen on TH-cam!!!!! How do you compare a crowd from on video to an entire decade worth of crowds???? I understand the 80s had better music, but please shut the fuck up with the ignorant ass comments!!
Without phones younger generations wouldn't be able to experience this music. Food for thought.
MASTERPIECE
Best song ever!
Those dance moves
One of the best performances ever one of the best duos ever
How awesome would have it been to see that live
Não tem como não curtir ... Monsters oficial rock!! \m/
Essa dupla e sensacional.
Parabéns pelo bom gosto.
Essa dupla é mt boa. E nós tbm que temos bom gosto hehehe
STUNNING piece and performance.
uno de mis grupos favoritos y este concierto es uno de los mejores en vivo por el sonido, realmente Daryl y John demuestran su calidad...
Happy 4th of July
It’s such a trip seeing them play to thousands of people here vs. the maybe 300 when I saw them in 2017

:D gooood
Pareja rara: Gringo de 1.87 mts. y mexiano de 1.64 mts...igual eso es lo importante: que eran dos fenómenos. La mueven.

I'm sad that the song 1985 doesn't mention this one... totally retro
Hall looks like a combination of Denis Leary and Joe Dirt.
Una joya para los que jugamos vice city en su tiempo
didnt know Carlos Santana was part of this group
Daryl Hall was 38 or 39 in 1985 and still had a perfect metrosexual youthful look. I wish more white guys could look like that. :)
feel the bern .oh boy one of those commies great
what's that got to do with Daryl or the song? lol, You DO realize most celebs and people in the arts are liberal, don't you?
Who is the solo guitarist with the red jacket?
G.E. Smith who is playing with Roger Waters nowadays
Celso Lopes
I almost got to see Waters live but tickets sold out :(
Daniel Mirzotti he was SNL in the 80s and 90s as well.
