Hall & Oates - BBC Sessions, Volume 3: In Concert, Battersea Park, London, Britain, 6-6-1998

Here's a Hall and Oates concert for the BBC, in 1998. I thought this was another renumbering situation. But I looked at my music collection and realized I'd never posted a 2003 BBC concert from them. So I'll post this one, and then the 2003 soon thereafter.

Hall and Oates were huge in the 1980s, but they fell out of fashion in the 1990s. Their 1997 album "Marigold Sky" barely scraped the bottom of the Top 100 US. album chart. There's just one song from that album here, the first one, "Romeo Is Bleeding." Otherwise, this is a nice run through 1970s and 80s hits.

The music here is unreleased. It's another very hard to find bootleg that was given to me by Progsprog. The sound quality is excellent. 

This album is 51 minutes long. 

01 Romeo Is Bleeding (Hall & Oates)
02 talk (Hall & Oates)
03 Out of Touch (Hall & Oates)
04 She's Gone (Hall & Oates)
05 One on One (Hall & Oates)
06 Sara Smile (Hall & Oates)
07 I Can't Go for That [No Can Do] (Hall & Oates)
08 Maneater (Hall & Oates)
09 Rich Girl (Hall & Oates)
10 Kiss on My List (Hall & Oates)

The cover photo was taken in England in 1998. So it's possible it's from this concert. This is the only concert they did in England in 1998 according to setlist.fm, though that database is often incomplete. Oates (in the striped shirt) was further to the side. But I used Photoshop to move him closer to Hall.
