Hall and Rundgren have known each other since the '60s, when they were both fledgling musicians in Philadelphia, with a love of R&B, soul and doo-wop groups, reflected in their earliest music. The two previously paired up in a previous Live from Daryl's House and now Todd returns the favor, with some down-home hospitality that includes an old-fashioned Luau Show, burying a pig in the dirt, serving up some amazing poi, with fire, hula dancers and a special performance with local musicians of "Bang on the Drum."

"It's always great when friends come all the way out here to visit," laughed Todd. "It's even better when they come to play. Thanks, Daryl!"

"What a blast to get together with Todd on his own turf," added Daryl. "Whether we're in Philadelphia, New York or Hawaii, the camaraderie and food are always good, and the music even better."

Daryl and Todd collaborated on a seven-song set that included "Beanie G and the Rose Tattoo," from the War Babies album, along with Hall's "Everytime You Go Away," originally on Voices. There are also performances of Rundgren's "Last Ride," "I Saw the Light" and "Wouldn't Have Made Any Difference." The set climaxes with a raucous "Bang on the Drum" that includes a troupe of Kauai percussionists who do just that.
