.enter tai nment Hall and Oates s\ By Allison Stein Cranking up their show with the current Top 10 hit <4Famil> Man," Daryl Hall and John Oates were immediately in tune with each other and with the audience Saturday night at the Carolina Coliseum. I neir eiectritying pertormance centered mostly around past hits and was marked by smooth vocals, both lead and background, and phenomenal amounts of energy. Hall made an immediate connection with the audience, beginning with the 4'Rich Girl" solo and accompanying himself on keyboards. The band came in on the second verse, turning up the sound and bringing most of the crowd to its feet. HALL AND Oates had the magic it takes to get a crowd or its feet and keep it there. Each song brought the crowd back up, often standing on seats and dancing in the aisles. The duo's overriding characteristic was energy. Even theii slower material like One on One had a strong pulse to it. Their version of "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" wa< received with enthusiasm that carried over into "I Can't Gc for That" and "Maneater." Hall and Oates kept the tempo up for "Private Eyes," bringing out search lights to scan the crowd. THAT SONG got a five-minute ovation from the crowd, after which the group tried to slow down, but couldn't cool down, with "Walkin' On Ice." Thev left the stage with the crowd screaming for more. As encores, they did "You Make My Dreams Come True" and "Imagination." Hall was the more outgoing of the duo, singing most of the lead vocals and playing keyboards. He was dynamic, displayed lots of fancy footwork, occasionally played trombone and had a wonderful rapport with the audience. Oates, the main songwriter of the two, played guitar and sang background vocals, was relaxed and involved in the music and the energy of the crowd. UAits ijid trace nis guitar tor a microphone tor "Foreplav," strutting the stage with some fancy footwork ot his own. The duo seemed to have fun on stage, and that feeling was infectious. Their Philadelnhia blue-eved blend of rock and soul wa< clean and polished, and the band, which has been with the dm since 1981, looked slick.
