The Stranger

They know what the crowd wants. They want the hits, and they want them to sound exactly the way they sounded during the Reagan administration. Hearing them again—"Rich Girl," "Private Eyes," "I Can't Go for That (No Can Do)," etc., etc.—gives you the same basic happiness that a toddler experiences by sliding a triangle-shaped block into a triangle-shaped hole. To be at a Hall & Oates concert is to watch this happen to thousands of people at once. (McCaw Hall, 321 Mercer St, www.ticketmaster.com. 7:30 pm, $39.50–$69.50, all ages.) by Christopher Frizzelle
