    Jeff, (who wrote this article)
    So was this concert sold out? was the crowd really that lame? Sharpstown Arena theater (That old ass place)?

    I went to the Austin Concert at the new ACL Moody theater and it was sold out and the crowd wanted like 4 encores. Hall busted out "Wow! This place is awesome!"

    Did they do 2 encores or just one? Did it disappoint you?

    Say it isn't so oh oh

    I've seen bands come to Houston and perform at a small venue at 50% capacity then go to Austin and do back-to-back soldout shows. I think it's because so many people in Austin have no lives.

    it lets us 99ers be 99ers;)

    The tickets at the arena theater were $99 and people were walking out before the encore?

    I paid $60 and I was at the awesome ACL live theater. They even had an after party with some dude spinning 80s tunes.

    I can't imagine if they did that for the show in sharpstown

    I thought it was a great show. The old lady who rushed the stage was pretty classic. They played what people wanted to hear and no more!

    I didn't notice anyone walking out at all.....I saw people rushing over to try to see Hall and Oats as they were leaving the stage.

    according to Jeff's article

    The Crowd: White. Middle Aged. Early risers, judging by the stream of people headed for the exits before the first encore.

    Yeah. I didn't notice it though for some reason. I was sitting with a pretty good view of the exit I thought. He is right about the white middle-aged part for sure. I thought it was a fun concert. Really short though.

    Are the two guys still living and touring? I had no idea. I saw them a couple of times a long, long time ago, when they weren't headlining. They were pretty good. Better than the Strawberry Alarm Clock.

    That dude is an Austin legend. He's played the big festivals and even the President's inaugural ball.

    Voices is a seriously underrated album, with a great version of the righteous classic:
