John Oates

[Lee]

My husband & I saw John Oates (solo) live in Wilmington, DE, last Saturday night @ the World Cafe Live @ The Queen. The building has two floors with stages; John was downstairs. Standing up in there maybe holds about 1,000 people, but when we were there they served food & drinks @ tables. It wasn't sold out. John & his band played for almost two hours, a little of everything. He does have a sense of humor. He said, "For you people who came here expecting 80s songs, you'll be sadly disappointed!" Then he sang, "Maneater". He had a warm-up singer name Mutlu come out & play for 1/2 hr. My favorite song from him was a song called Board Games. He was pretty good. John had a guest who he met in Colorado come out, Dave, don't know his last name & sang a few songs. Towards the end John sang quite a few songs from his new CD, Mississippi Mile. John sounded really good & so did his band. It was a very good show.

I didn't take a lot of pics, but my better ones are here:

I was hoping he'd sing, She's Gone, & he did. I recorded it. I've never posted to You Tube, so I may try to do it. If I do, I'll somehow post the link. I'm not that computer literate unfortunately.
