Daryl Hall at the PNE (sad trombone)
by chris cunningham
Well, that happened. First show of my Summer Night Concerts at the PNE Fair this year and 7th row! Daryl Hall, then John Fogerty and then Barenaked Ladies. He got through 3 songs and called it night. Maneater, Dreamtime and Foolish Pride. Ugh, the next song on the set list was supposed to be Rich Girl. So close, ha. Anyway the refund is forthcoming but yeah the time it took get there and the $25 parking is a little irksome. I saw Hall and Oates at the Hollywood Bowl in 2011 so no big loss. He’s looking terribly old now and I’m trying to get any classic rockers in while they’re still kickin’ the can down the road. Unfortunately the Pacific Coliseum only looked about 1/3 full so it seems Daryl on his own is not the concert draw that he might think he is. Not that Garfunk… Oates does much but back up vocals. A brand name will still draw in more than an ingredient. So, sorry Daryl the musical bell has tolled for thee. Gotta be rough and looks like he starts crying while walking off.
