Daryl Hall opened his new “Daryl’s House” – a music venue and restaurant in Pawling, N.Y. – on Halloween night. He was joined by longtime bandmate John Oates for a concert that was streamed online.

It was billed as \u201cHall-oween and Oates,\u201d but thankfully, there was no soul version of \u201cMonster Mash.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was never going to happen anyway. Daryl Hall and John Oates would never have a conversation about covering that song in one of their shows, even on Halloween. To do so would severely compromise the integrity of their H&OHQ – Hall & Oates Hipness Quotient.<\/p>\n

No, this fright night performance on Oct. 31, 2014, was about something completely different. It christened the new \u201cDaryl\u2019s House\u201d – a renovated music venue and restaurant – that used to be known as the Town Crier in Pawling, N.Y.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the next step in the evolution of \u201cLive From Daryl\u2019s House,\u201d an internet and cable show that Hall has hosted since 2007. Episodes for the show, which airs on the cable channel Palladia, will be filmed there without an audience, but at all other times, the venue\u2019s bar, restaurant and stage will be open for business.<\/p>\n

And true to innovative form, this show had something for everyone, even for those of us who couldn\u2019t be there. Because actually, we could be there, right from the comfort of our own family rooms. Yahoo streamed the concert live – and free – online. It was a \u201cDaryl\u2019s House\u201d show that came right to one\u2019s house.<\/p>\n

It was the first and only time that I\u2019ve listened and watched an entire live concert from my recliner. Of course, I had the headphones on, and of course, I had the volume cranked.<\/p>\n

Hall & Oates shows are tight and relatively predictable. There\u2019s not as much between-song banter or storytelling like we get at a John Oates solo show. At a Hall & Oates show, we know we\u2019re going to get the hits: \u201cShe\u2019s Gone,\u201d \u201cSara Smile,\u201d \u201cRich Girl, \u201cManeater,\u201d \u201cPrivate Eyes,\u201d \u201cKiss on My List.\u201d We all love those songs. We all listen to those songs every time they\u2019re on the radio. We all have those songs in our collections.<\/p>\n

But we did get a few deeper album cuts in this 16-song set, most notably \u201cAdult Education,\u201d from the 1983 album \u201cRock \u2019n Soul Part I\u201d; and \u201cBack Together Again,\u201d an Oates song, and \u201cDo What You Want, Be What You Are,\u201d both from the 1977 album \u201cBigger Than Both of Us.\u201d<\/p>\n

And even though we usually hear \u201cShe\u2019s Gone\u201d and \u201cLas Vegas Turnaround\u201d in an H&O show, I always want more from the 1973 album \u201cAbandoned Luncheonette,\u201d particularly Hall\u2019s \u201cWhen The Morning Comes\u201d and Oates\u2019 \u201cHad I Known You Better Then.\u201d I\u2019m partial to that album because the making of it and the songs on it were discussed in length by both Daryl and John for \u201cThe Vinyl Dialogues.\u201d<\/p>\n

Everybody seemed happy – I know I was – with the show, but nobody more than Daryl.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the way I hoped it would be,\u201d he said toward the end of the performance. \u201cThis is a fantastic beginning to a real cool club. We got ourselves a clubhouse. That wouldn\u2019t have happened without fan support, and that\u2019s no joke.
\nIf you haven\u2019t watched it, check Yahoo for the replay. Put the headphones on, turn it up and enjoy the unique Halloween night gig at Daryl\u2019s new house.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no \u201cMonster Mash,\u201d which is a good thing, but this Hall & Oates show is guaranteed to be a \u201cthriller\u201d for you. (Insert appropriate groans here.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
