    by this time they were Michael Jackson's closest competitor
    on the pop charts, with one big hit after another...

comments:
  this is from the "H2O- Hot in America" 1983 tour, a national
broadcast across the U.S.A. Even though by this time they had 
enough hits to play a 3 hour concert and still not play all 
of them, they still found time for the usual (for them) share of
rhythm and blues/ soul covers which is a big part of their thing.
since folks liked the 3 Hall and Oates shows from Boston and
someone requested hearing this in a post of a 1988 Calif. show
and I recorded this show as it happened, may as well share it,
in 3 step torrent fashion (master > WAV > FLAC > torrent.)
  so here it is. I only missed a little bit of between song talk
and the very tail end of "wait for me" in here, it sounds like I 
got the second tape running in time for the beginning of maneater.
I wouldn't say this is the best Hall and Oates show I've ever heard,
very likely the biggest audience they'd ever had at this time
(including radio). I've never heard a bad or even just okay show of theirs.
this was a little slicker and poppier period than the previous H & O shows 
I posted (from 1979, 1980 and 1981). alot of folks like their mid to late 
80's stuff even more, so for those of you and the several who like all 
things Hall and Oates here's some H2O you can put in your ears that won't 
give you "swimmer's ear", and you can put in your speakers without being 
electrocuted. after a walk through the wiki discography I did not find any 
indication of anything in here being officially released. "Family Man" was 
first recorded by Mike Oldfield, but it was a much bigger hit for Hall & Oates.
even though "H2O" came out in '82, their new release in 1983 was a greatest hits 
package so that was still their newest album material.
