We went to see Daryl Hall two weeks ago at Town Center Park, and it's a great venue. A big stage at the bottom of a hill and plenty of space for families to set up with lawn chairs and picnics. Also, there are lots of vendors. This should be a good time.

Review: Daryl Hall - 7/16

We're getting really good at finding and going to awesome free shows in our area. Daryl Hall was part of the Hamden Arts Commission Free Summer Concert Series and the show was really cool. It started at 7:30 on a Friday night, and the crowd gathered in their lawn chairs with their picnics and families at Town Center Park. Sure, we didn't have Oates, but Hall still played lots of classic Hall and Oates songs, including "Kiss on My List," "Private Eyes" and "You Make My Dreams." After a fake ending, he came back for an encore including "Rich Girl." It was a whole lot of fun - and free!
