Review (AllMusic) : A lackluster album recorded in the mid-'70s, Livetime proves that part of the success of Hall & Oates' singles lies in the studio, where they can carefully craft both the song and its presentation. In concert, many of the same songs fall flat, as the group tries to replicate its polished studio sound to little avail.

Review (Wikipedia) : Livetime is a live album from 1978 by musical group Hall & Oates. The concert was recorded in Hershey, Pennsylvania in late 1977 not far from Pottstown, Pennsylvania where Hall lived during his teenage years. Former Elton John Band members Caleb Quaye, Kenny Passarelli and Roger Pope were band musicians on this tour. Daryl Hall is infamous for being heard asking the crowd at the end of the song "Sara Smile," "How come you didn't like me when I was a teenager?"
