Old VHS tape (poor quality) I had of Huey Lewis and the News performing Do You Believe in Love - LIVE. I make no money from posting this, just thought others would enjoy some classic old News.
And with no audio tricks or effects needed they sound just like their album. Great bunch of guys too. You get the genuine impression that they are friends on and off stage and have been for years and years. It's a real shame that Huey can no longer hear well enough to stay in time and tune with the songs anymore. :(
And the guitars he's playing aren't the amazing pro grade stuff now that's easy to play, like a Suhr or even a good Schechter, so he had to work hard on those 1970s guitars but that's just what guys did. Today you can buy Eart or Shije guitars from China that out of the box play better than Chris' old Strat probably did. The manufacturing and quality control has just gotten that much better.
As a wedding/corporate musician and band member, to be able to simultaneously play an instrument and sing /harmonize live is not easy...but it is a rush!
Yes, I agree. The live, big, multi-part vocal harmonies were spot on. This sort of expertise is quite rare & takes lots of hard practice. The only slight thing missing from the mix were a few guitar-fills. However, with the vocals being spot on, this song's version is essentially perfect.
NOT underrated. They have sold 30 million records, won Grammy Awards, multiple Hot 100 top ten singles, 3 number one hit singles, have multiple multi-Platinum albums, and are one of the RIAA top 200-selling bands of all time.
I always loved how this song was written. The backing vocals are at the beginning and end of the verses. And the transition from the first to second verse is killer. Great baseline. Just an all around classic perfectly written song!!!!!!!
The original just made me cringe! Luckily, Huey Lewis was in Clover when Mutt Lange was 1 of the producers. Lange said yes to the change in lyrics. Then, it hit big time! The 2 of them had a reunion in 1991 when the 2 of them wrote It Hit Me Like a Hammer. Mutt was busy writing for Eddie Money in LA + writing/producing with Bryan Adams in London + Vancouver. Check Hard at Play credits: HL thanks BA + Lange!
I remember when this song hit the airwaves. It seemed that everyone liked it, whether they were into rap, metal, country or whatever. I think it's because they can recognize the actual vocal talent within and the subject matter is something we can all relate to. Great song and great band too!
One of the many reasons that I feel so fortunate to have been an 80s teen. In 1985, I started playing hair guitar. Ratt, Ozzy, Dokken, etc. Graduated in 87. The day the music died... That was the day Nirvana appeared on Mtv for the first time. Flannel shirts, gay guitars, and no solos. Was the beginning of the end for music.
They are great for sure. If you love harmony vocals check out the bands Chicago, Steely Dan, The Eagles and Crosby Stills Nash & Young! Also the Beach Boys had some outstanding harmonies!
I saw these guys as my first concert ever in 1985, Phoenix, AZ. I was blown away by how great they sounded live. Definitely an under appreciated band! Flawless talent!
Lori, my first concert as well but 1984 in KCK (Bonner Springs, KS actually) Sandstone Ampitheater. Blown away!? What a sound 🔊and a Real Band ya know? Great Times 🎶
My first concert as well but it London 1988 Wembley Arena...They were sky rocket famous by then due to Back To The Future....I'd seen lots of bands after that one including Bon Jovi, Guns N Roses and twice i saw Prince in concert....I think i'll always cherish Huey Lewis and The News concert the most though....They were epic. :)
I remember when I was 11 or 12 and I first seen Huey on SNL , and I thought look at these guys, no makeup, no gimmick just pure rock. From there on Huey and the news would be the reason I am a musician now, Thank you Huey, get well because the world needs you.
Exactly right....all these guys are great. Chris Hayes is a severely underrated guitarist. Mario Cippolina- underrated as well. Bill Gibson- rock solid drummer. Johnny Colla- solid rhythm guitarist, amazing saxophone player. These guys are superb!
@@parkerkenney6859 that was my point, they don't get the recognition now. Very few modern singers can write for themselves or play an instrument or even sing without help. It's all about overnight commercial success. There are exceptions but they are few.
@@robertsimpson2167 The irony of your statement is that this song was written by the producer, Mutt Lange. Doesn't take away from the talent of this particular group, though
Every time I watch a live video my jaw hits the floor. Tight, proficient, exceptionally talented and all stellar singers in their own right. God I miss good pop-rock. Hell I just miss good pop.
Jeezus what a great live band. During the middle 8 when they hold the word “Photograaaaph”, their voices are making a Bmaj7add9 chord; not an easy thing to do live!
@@drippinglass Close! Flat the maj7 and sharp the 9 and you’d have a 7#9, aka the Hendrix chord 😃👍 The #9 is the same note as the minor third of the scale; so you have the major 3rd on bottom with the minor 3rd on top, and that ambiguity is what makes the Hendrix chord so interesting.
The amazing thing is that, INDIVIDUALLY, they aren't really doing anything mind-blowing. But man...when they put it all together? Phew. This is one TIGHT unit.
Outrageous. My high school rock band attempted this song. Pretty straight forward musically. Forget the vocals. Near impossible to even come close. Top to bottom great song and band.
Flawless live four part harmony in addition a stellar front man. Many “artists” that chart today can’t produce a marketable performance in a studio without Auto Tune.
thanks for finding this JIm. I directed this concert special for MTV, 40 years ago. Unbelievable. They were great. The Control Truck was really rockin.
Impressive! I've had some comments about thinking it was lip-synced because it sounds so good. You and your team did an awesome job, including the person that ran the audio board.
I'm an accomplished Guitarist / Vocalist with a pretty cool resume I met Chris in Hollywood at the Starwood .. and about a week later he told me he got the gig with Huey 🤙 and after being in the trenches in the L.A. scene and doing scores of live shows and logging hundreds of hours in the recording studios(Hit City West, Pacific Sound, Can-Am, etc.,) .. Sir I "get it" .. and Scott Brother You did an AMAZING job .. not only does your professional abilities shine, but I can feel your heart & passion while viewing it today .. in 2024 .. I hope you've told all your children and your children's children .. You did something beautiful here that You Can Always Be So Very Proud Of 🤍💛🤍 Shalom Brother
From The Great Music Renaissance of the 1980's. Real Music and Real Singing. No Talking Mambo Jumbo 3rd fool brains from the hood dropping the f bomb. Great music and great time growing up in America.
First time I seen them was on SNL, I think? Long time ago, I was blown away by their skills, vocals, I remember at the end of this song, Huey said, "You heard it hear from the news". Loved them ever since
Huey sounds is very distinctive and recognisable live or studio ! One of the great male vocalist indeed. Very sad to hear about his hearing loss....It's like a death penalty sentence. God bless and hope a miracle will cure him.
I just close my eyes and listen to this great song and I'm back in Houston Tx at 14 years old on a hot summer day with my boom box cranked up.not a care in the world.I miss the 80,s do you?
I’d like to concur with the same observation that threads it’s way thru this comment section….what an incredible live performance AND those flawless harmonies. Absolute craftsmen.
Wow, this is a well nigh flawless live version of Huey Lewis & The News' best song, among a long list of great songs. This version is nearly note-for-note like the original studio release version. Surprisingly, there is great replication of the studio's tight, upfront, 3&4-part vocal harmonies. Excellent. Richard

What's really striking is that they're a band full of really good singers. Those harmonies are flawless!
Check out their clip of them singing the USA national anthem at a baseball game. It's on TH-cam. Perfect harmonies.
@@Lennonology I'll look for it right now. Thanks!
Amazing. Way before autotune. The doo wop breakdown is better than the studio version.
One of the Greatest American Pure Rock N Soul bands.
And with no audio tricks or effects needed they sound just like their album. Great bunch of guys too. You get the genuine impression that they are friends on and off stage and have been for years and years. It's a real shame that Huey can no longer hear well enough to stay in time and tune with the songs anymore. :(
It’s criminal these guys are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They turned out the hits and were awesome!! What a joke!
RRHOF is a joke don't mean NOTHING, no Foreigner, 38 Special, Bad Company. Huey another band that was a hit making machine. It is what it is........😮😮
I really doubt if they lose any sleep over it. LOL.
And they had the soundtrack of Back to the Future.
RRHOF doesn't have Motley Crue either!!!! GO FIGURE!!!! But they have LL Cool J!!! LMAO
There really should be legit RRHOF in another city.
Chris Hayes is criminally underrated as a guitarist.
Couldn't agree more
Fabulous technique and truly wonderful mysicality. Does he ever know how to make his guitar sing! Underrated is still an understatement.
He is astonishing.
I have always liked Chris' solos.
Just about every song has a bit of his Jazz/Rock influence.
And the guitars he's playing aren't the amazing pro grade stuff now that's easy to play, like a Suhr or even a good Schechter, so he had to work hard on those 1970s guitars but that's just what guys did.
Today you can buy Eart or Shije guitars from China that out of the box play better than Chris' old Strat probably did. The manufacturing and quality control has just gotten that much better.
Old school music is the best!! I love Huey Lewis and the News. Still a fan in 2023!!
In 2024 .!!!!
These harmonies are insane. They are so tight it sounds better then the studio. Talent and practice. Love it.
That’s my yardstick between good bands and GREAT bands. They sound great live and on the recording. No autotune here. Just a great sounding band.
Def see practice makes perfect,,huey is so talented, just mind blowing
With Tower of Power backing them, one of the best live concert's of the 80s. And that was saying A LOT back then!
No autotune.
Considering that this is a live performance, the backing vocals are spot on perfect!
As a wedding/corporate musician and band member, to be able to simultaneously play an instrument and sing /harmonize live is not easy...but it is a rush!
I USED TO HAVE YOU IN A PHOTOGRAPHHH
I was thinking before it started are they gonna pull it off? They did!
Yes, I agree. The live, big, multi-part vocal harmonies were spot on. This sort of expertise is quite rare & takes lots of hard practice. The only slight thing missing from the mix were a few guitar-fills. However, with the vocals being spot on, this song's version is essentially perfect.
Huey Lewis and the News was just one of those bands that never failed to sound the way they do in studios in a live concert
God the 80's were so great. Take me back, so much better than 2023!
Very underrated band with harmonies on par with the Eagles.
I was just thinking the same. The vocals beat and harmonies are as good if not better .
Better than the Eagles
NOT underrated. They have sold 30 million records, won Grammy Awards, multiple Hot 100 top ten singles, 3 number one hit singles, have multiple multi-Platinum albums, and are one of the RIAA top 200-selling bands of all time.
@@linkaster2873 , calm diwn down Bucky, excellent live band, but the Eagles are the gold standard!
I always loved how this song was written. The backing vocals are at the beginning and end of the verses. And the transition from the first to second verse is killer. Great baseline. Just an all around classic perfectly written song!!!!!!!
So true!

Absolutely Early 1980’s still priceless times
another Mutt Lange song..... the guy could write a hit.
That's studio perfection live. Unreal.
The voice. The energy, the passion. One of the best
He has one of the most unique voices I’ve ever heard.
Love when bands play it live EXACTLY like the record.
They truly do deserve to be in the Rock & Roll Hall Of FAME! PERIOD!!!!!!
I was born in 1972 and Huey Lewis and the News was my FIRST concert! How lucky am I?❤❤❤
One of the many reasons that I feel so fortunate to have been an 80s teen. In 1985, I started playing hair guitar. Ratt, Ozzy, Dokken, etc. Graduated in 87. The day the music died... That was the day Nirvana appeared on Mtv for the first time. Flannel shirts, gay guitars, and no solos. Was the beginning of the end for music.
The News would have to be one of the best backing bands ever. Everyone of them can play so well and their singing is amazing!
Don't forget Tower of Power backing them too! What a live show! Never seen again since.
I really miss the times when this song came out. No Google,no insta or Facebook. Just an old tape recorder and the music of the 80s. Good old times. 😢
With absolutely no doubts or misgivings.
Mario Cipollina is literally 50% of this song….
🤘🏼❤️🔥🤘🏼
This is an all-round talented band
Completely live. No auto tune, lip syncing just pure perfection and talent!
I wonder if the audience knew they were witnessing a masterpiece.
Boy, he's singing exactly like the album. Love it when he does that. Many artists change it up so much it gets annoying but he's excellent here.
I even thought it was lip synched 😂
Damn...what a great band. Hit after hit after hit. And his voice ranks as one of the best IMO
Man what an incredible band. The best harmonies ever heard
They are great for sure. If you love harmony vocals check out the bands Chicago, Steely Dan, The Eagles and Crosby Stills Nash & Young! Also the Beach Boys had some outstanding harmonies!
Ever heard of The Bee Gees?
Huey was a legend, they sound like they were in the studio. Just amazing. 🥰🥰🥰
I saw these guys as my first concert ever in 1985, Phoenix, AZ. I was blown away by how great they sounded live. Definitely an under appreciated band! Flawless talent!

patrick kasmir I’m praying he’s healing. My husband & I want to see them plus Hall & Oates in concert. Oh, and Steve Perry. He’s back. 👍🏻
get well?
@@nigelfarage4119 believe his tinitis and hearing are very bad
One of the greatest bands ever
Exactly right....all these guys are great.
Chris Hayes is a severely underrated guitarist. Mario Cippolina- underrated as well.
Bill Gibson- rock solid drummer.
Johnny Colla- solid rhythm guitarist, amazing saxophone player.
These guys are superb!
I don't want to go back in time to do things differently; I want to go back to hear songs for the first time, again.
Damn I miss the '80s.
This is sadly missing today, a real band with real musical talent.
They’re all over the place, you just have to look for them. It’s just unfortunate that they are not mainstream.

Is that the Jimi chord?

Such an underrated tune by them! I think this is better than the studio version!
in 2020 I still believe in love with the same girl for the last thirty six years that makes me a lucky man |!!!
Aww. Rock on!
Why is the quality so much better back then? I miss the 80s

Where was this?
The world needs more Huey Lewis and the News and saxafone
Back when the live version sounded just like the record
I've seen Huey Lewis & and the News in concert so many times & they never disappointed me.
What an insanely tight band. Their timing, harmonies, everything is on point
Everything is 100% spot-on. Probably the BEST live performance, ever recorded, of this song! Absolutely Amazing!!!!
perfect harmonies what a great band
Truly amazing
They DONT MAKE THEM LIKE THIS ANYMORE. A BAND W HARMONIES AND A SAX AND AN AMAZING BAND
Perfect! This song has everything! 🎸 🎷 🥁 🎤
Perfect voices....
I loved this song the first time I ever heard it...and it's still my favorite Huey tune.Awesome and timeless.
Still enjoying in 2024
Dam his voice is good!!!
This is my favorite News song and that saxophone solo gets me grinning every time!
From The Great Music Renaissance of the 1980's. Real Music and Real Singing. No Talking Mambo Jumbo 3rd fool brains from the hood dropping the f bomb. Great music and great time growing up in America.
great song,great bunch of clean cut guys...having fun,,,,
Huey and the news are the real deal, he is so cool
Perfectly flawless harmonies. I think the blend of their voices is just magical. Touches the sweet spot in our souls like hugging an old friend
Amazing that it has been 42 years.
Ooooohhh, how much I love this man!!!!!😍👍🙌👏💖💖💖💖💖💖😘😘😘😘🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰
...think it was '84 saw Huey open for 38SPECIAL in Nashville. His high energy actually blew them away IMO .. !
Omg these guys sounded great live!
Huey is the man...tight band!
Harmonies are off the charts amazing.
God i love that saxaphone solo, my uncle who passed away a few years ago loved playing the sax. This epic solo reminded me of him.
Chris Hayes is a REAL LIFE Marty McFly !!! Total Bad Ass of A Musician !!!
one of the best live recordings of a band doing exact harmonies and range levels as a studio recording ...thats how its done
First time I seen them was on SNL, I think? Long time ago, I was blown away by their skills, vocals, I remember at the end of this song, Huey said, "You heard it hear from the news". Loved them ever since
This what i call a perfect Song in a live Concert!!!
thank you for uploading this masterpiece!
Their first hit. Yes they were iconic of the 80s. Miss them dearly
Huey sounds is very distinctive and recognisable live or studio !
One of the great male vocalist indeed.
Very sad to hear about his hearing loss....It's like a death penalty sentence.
God bless and hope a miracle will cure him.
Huey was was WAY BETTER than Springsteen could ever hoped to have been.
Ugh no sorry. I love Huey but Springsteen is on a different level
Played in my HS gym...what a show!
I had SUCH a crush on Huey back then. This is still my favorite song by them.
It’s 2021 and this song never fails to put me in a happy place! Thanks for posting it 🙏🏻❤️
I saw them at the Canes Ballroom in Tulsa just before they got real big! They were awesome!
I just close my eyes and listen to this great song and I'm back in Houston Tx at 14 years old on a hot summer day with my boom box cranked up.not a care in the world.I miss the 80,s do you?
Catchy tune. Have liked this song since its release.
My favorite band of all time, they should be in the Hall of Rock!
Thank you, Jim Earl! Such a great song! Came to my mind today.
Heuy Lewis and the News were always a terrific live band.
Such a great band
Great song by a great band and Hueys voice is one of the best out there.❤
My favorite Huey song. Thanks for sharing.
Saw Huey and the News on this tour at Graham Central Station in OKC 1982! Fantastic!
Can't believe how good this is - old VHS and live.
1982 - no digital, no tracks, no vocal correction, just straight analog and live, on the line recording. Gotta love the 80’s!
What an awesome rock voice.
They are so good live it's CRAZY!!!
Prodigy in math. Accepted to Cornell. College pitcher. Rock God.
he pretty much checks all the boxes, doesn't he? Lucky fella.
FENラジオのアメリカントップ40で好きになったのがヒューイ・ルイス&ザ・ニュース。
