Forget the “guilty” part — going to Thursday’s Hall & Oates show at West Hollywood’s Troubadour was just a pleasure.

OK, that was super-cheesy, but listening to an hour and 45 minutes of H&O can take someone to an unapologetically geeky place. The duo cranked out the radio hits in the ’70s and ’80s, getting their start more than 35 years ago at the vaunted club. And when Daryl Hall hit the stage, he summed up the first date of the two-night Troubadour stand in two words: “Full circle.”

Being 26, I definitely belong to the new wave of fans who discovered the group’s classic pop a little later (along with No Doubt’s Tony Kanal, apparently, who was spotted heading up to the Troubadour loft). But I was surrounded by superfans who came from across the country and plopped down $200 (!) to catch the guys live. (Fan-club member Dawna was even at one of the original Troubadour shows back in the ’70s. That’s dedication!) Hall & Oates definitely came through for the die-hards, playing two songs they said they’ve never played live in their career, including “Had I Known You Better,” which had John Oates taking the lead on vocals for the first and only time during the night. It would have been nice to have Oates’ mic turned up a little louder for the song; Hall couldn’t help but drown out his mustache-less partner when he chimed in on backup vocals.

But we know what you’re really wondering: Did they play “Maneater”? Of course — along with “Sara Smile,” “She’s Gone,” “Kiss on My List,” “You Make My Dreams,” “Rich Girl” and the tour de force (with the best use of parentheses in pop music) “I Can’t Go for That (No Can Do).” It was uncanny — oh yeah, they played “Uncanny” too — how spot-on Hall’s voice is after four decades in the music business. Save for “She’s Gone,” which was missing the suspense (and high notes) of the original, the guys did a great job of bringing their biggest hits to life.

And it honestly appeared that they were having a good time after all these years. The performance was polished, to be sure, but sincere nonetheless. Hall couldn’t help but smile as a pack of ladies in the front row yelled sexually suggestive responses to every lyric he growled from the song “Getaway Car” (sample: “You can drive it all night, Daryl!”). The radio hits might be harder to come by these days, but the groupies are still out in full force.
