I couldn't agree with you more. However, in my humble opinion, not only does Huey sound just as great as the studio version, but the live performances seem to be a little more special to me. Cheers and happy listening! :-)
Hate to sound cynical, but......I wouldn’t be surprised if this was “tinkered” with a little bit during the mixing down process. Not a slight against Huey Lewis by any means, but a LOT of bands did, and still do, “touch up” bum notes and flat vocal parts. There’s one thing I noticed with this one, listen to the crowd, they’ve piped in extra cheers at certain points.
they were great , no doubt about it , thats why im here listening, but probably the sound was fixed and mixed to correct the little imperfections that always exists playing live
Years ago I listened to a radio interview with Huey Lewis who said: "The most important thing for a singer is to make people believe what you're singing. Make them believe it." This is a perfect example where the song itself is nice, it's OK but he elevates the song with his emotion and incredible voice control. This is not an easy song to sing in which "to make people believe it," nor is it that easy technically. He is a brilliant singer and it shows quite well in this video.
Awesome...perfect performance! Harmonies, instrumentals, lead vocals!! Everything!! That could have been recorded and released as the single. If it were an event in the Olympics it would have gotten a 10 !
One more comment I'd like to make. I was a junior in high school in 1987 and still see my beautiful smiling mother with her huge hair do waiting for me with a smile every single day when I got home from school. I still see her dancing around the house to songs like this.
Being a kid who was born in 97... I find music like this... Amazing! There’s just something about the vibe and the musicianship that makes me fall in love with it! I grew up around a lot of (what kids would call it now) old music. It sucks that we don’t have artists, musicians and people like this now to make this kind of music. Great fun to have videos like these to watch!! Thank you!
i saw Huey live 10 years before you were born in 1987 in Philadelphia .... ugh.... i am old and hitting 49 tomorrow.... i guess that I was about 14 in 1987! Great that you enjoy the old stuff! Enjoy! :)
My family lived in Novato in Marin County when Huey Lewis and the News were our homegrown group. Johnny Colla's family lived near us in Novato and his Mother was a music teacher in the schools.
One of those rare bands that sounds just as good live as their records, sometimes even better. Absolutely love these guys. Im only 35, but this is the music i grew up with and will forever prefer this over the crap thats on the airways now.
This was the second band that I really got into, Buddy Holly & The Crickets being the first. Huey and the boys have always been a top shelf class act band. I'm glad to see people, especially my age and younger, find a new appreciation for this band. Much love to all the Huey fans out there in the world! :-)
Rick Delair the organ break is very fun to play!! Tricky at first, but a blast. The entire song is joyful to play on the organ. I play it on a Wurlitzer.
Rick Delair I have a Wurlitzer funmaker, the older one without the recording box. It was given to me, I also have a George P. Bent Crown Organ from sometime before 1914. It has the pump pedals to pump air into it. Also have a PlayStation midi controller for my piano and synth sounds, or any sound I want for that matter.
Yeah...80´s and mid 90´s. Good times. Musically sweet and understandable. They created good music and lyrics. Miss those times. This weekend, here where i live, there´s a "Stuck in the 80´s" party. It´s going to be a huge event.
Saw Huey at the Casino Ball Room, Hampton Beach, NH on June 24th. He was awsum. Loved all his songs and to see them live was the best! An important part of growing up in the 80's.!!! That decade was the best of tunes and will always be. The "STUFF" now adays doesn't even compare. 80's rocks!!!
Now i know what my Dad meant when he was listening to the Beatles and Stones over and over in the 90's lol He said to me i would understand when i got older. And NOW I DO! :) This is awesome! Along with A-ha :)
I grew up in the 90s but still remember hearing stuck with you on the radio and I do got to say the live performance sounds exactly like the performance on the actual record. Love the male harmonies on this song. The band was real tight here, maybe because they played live all through their 20's and didn't become mainstream successful until their mid to late 30's, so it worked to their advantage because by that time they were a great live band?
I met him in Vegas over 20 years. I was a big fan at that time. Anyways, I’m was Impaired and I said to him “could this it?” one of my favorite songs he sang. He looked at me in confusion and finally he realized my attempt at comedy. We both laughed and he went his way.
They could tell me I was dying tomorrow---and if I heard this song right afterwards it would put a big smile on my face, a spring in my step, and a carefree feeling in my heart!!
Huey and his boys at their very BEST!!! I wonder how many people know that Huey very often sang on stage as he is doing here - just INCHES from the stage's end! He obviously always wanted to get as close as he could to all his fans.....even at his own risk!! Do fans also know that most all of his fabulous band members who started with him - stayed with him, all these years!! His most outstanding keyboard player and drummer - always keeping that fantastic sound and terrific 'beat' to all their hit numbers, year after year!! That really says something - doesn't it? And most noteworthy as well - it's no wonder that HIS fabulous music and writing was chosen above all the rest - to 'power up' the greatest sci-fi blockbuster hit film of all time - 'Back to the Future'!!! That really says something about the 'power' of his music!!! WOW!!! "THANKS so much for all you've given us, Huey"!!!
These old songs are the only thing that brings any kind of relief to my mind, I guess when I get ready to eat a bullet I will have something like this playing in the background
I'm going to keep watching this until it hits AT LEAST 1 million. Huey, you and the boys still kick hella ass!!! FTW!! I say you in 1996 when I was 16, with the original line-up. It changed my life FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been a fan since I was a tiny baby back in the early 80's. Keep up the real deal Huey. Two thumbs way up!!!!!!!!!!
Ah, it's one thing listening to this on TH-cam (which is great off course), but listening to tunes like this back in the golden ages, kids, you've missed out.
OMG... Listening this... I can remember so clearly; when I arrived for the first time to United States of America!!!... with my heart running to thousand!!!... Thinking In my Beloved American Treasure; waiting to see him and kiss him again; since the last year that we were together in Peru. Jesus guys!!! ... and now; pregnant; listening again this great song... I only can cry of pyre happiness. Verily that: "GOD BLESS UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"!!! :') ♡
I used to wonder what this song was all about when I was a kid. Now that I've been married for 15 years (dang, how'd the time go so fast?) I totally understand this song. My wife and I may not always get along, just like in any marriage, but we're totally dedicated to each other. Very happy to be 'stuck' with each other. I love the organ part in this song!
God, this stuff never gets old! I saw Huey and the original line up back in 1996 when they put out their "Time flies: best of album" and it still is one of the ALL TIME greatest concerts I've ever been to.
thanks to the one who up loaded this great video. I watched the clips back in 1987 during my AFS student exchange in Australia and liked it at the first time, and still do, even became me+wife favourite song. Great song and great performace by Huey with his great voice
Huey looked like the kind of singer that could blow away and audience and then work on his car and fix anything in the house...,mans man
Jk
😆
I saw him many times, including this concert. You're right, a man's man and nice as hell.
Unlike Daisy Lee Roth
Definitely a blue-collar Huey! 🤙🏾
When there was no auto-tune. Huey sounds the exactly same in studio and on stage!
Same can be said for the great musicians and backing vocals.
I couldn't agree with you more. However, in my humble opinion, not only does Huey sound just as great as the studio version, but the live performances seem to be a little more special to me. Cheers and happy listening! :-)

they were great , no doubt about it , thats why im here listening, but probably the sound was fixed and mixed to correct the little imperfections that always exists playing live
These are people that take their job of entertaining the fans very seriously.
This band needs to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame NOW!
They'll get in eventually....just a ton of political red to get in these days.
Coincido, de las más grandes del siglo!!!!
What a performance!! No lip syncing, no pre recorded tracks and no damn auto tune. Just pure talent!
and no swinging asses,no twirking
Expect for the backing vocals, that's definitely playback! Huey is completely live though....and he's awesome!
Man if I had a voice like Huey I’d just be walkin’ around singing all day!
Huey Lewis got one of the best voices, if not the best one ever. The band was excellent indeed.
Years ago I listened to a radio interview with Huey Lewis who said: "The most important thing for a singer is to make people believe what you're singing. Make them believe it." This is a perfect example where the song itself is nice, it's OK but he elevates the song with his emotion and incredible voice control.

can't stop listening to this song ,,damn!! so addicting!! a really feel good song
Same😊
Yo también ❤️
I agree!!
Yes, indeed
MAGNIFICENT
This is music. Pure music.
Thrill Biscuit 🌎❤🎶🎶
Chris, Johnny, Bill, and Sean could all freakin' SING. Their harmonies are awesome.
One of the very rare few people who sound the same live, as they would in studio, if not then better.
Thom Yorke is also one of them.
Awesome...perfect performance! Harmonies, instrumentals, lead vocals!! Everything!! That could have been recorded and released as the single. If it were an event in the Olympics it would have gotten a 10 !
One more comment I'd like to make. I was a junior in high school in 1987 and still see my beautiful smiling mother with her huge hair do waiting for me with a smile every single day when I got home from school. I still see her dancing around the house to songs like this.

Me too my friend
Brilliant...I was 22 brings back good memories ❤️❤️❤️
Undeniably one of the coolest Rock voices of all time. I hope he can fix whats wrong with his hearing like AcDc singer did and can now tour again.
My family lived in Novato in Marin County when Huey Lewis and the News were our homegrown group. Johnny Colla's family lived near us in Novato and his Mother was a music teacher in the schools.
I really wish I could have seen him in concert. This is my child's and my favorite song.
One of those rare bands that sounds just as good live as their records, sometimes even better. Absolutely love these guys.
Im only 35, but this is the music i grew up with and will forever prefer this over the crap thats on the airways now.
This version is incredible, I wouldn't expect anything less with them. They sure don't make them like they use to

Lets not forget the superb backing vocals and incredible talent from The News.... Dynamite live act.... Wish I got to see this 👊🏼💥💙
Yes the background vocals really make the songs in my opinion. Especially in this, “Perfect World” and (my favorite) “If This Is It”.
What a song...great tune...fantastic singer...salute from Goa!!
Una canzone che vale la pena di ascoltare…. Grazie Lewis
I grew up in the 80's. Wow!!! When I hear music like this from my childhood, it makes me realize how great that time was...and how much I miss it :'(
No cansa uno de escuchar estos buenos temas buenos artirtas🙂
I love this song, particularly the backing vocals and the organ break. Fantastic.
Rick Delair the organ break is very fun to play!! Tricky at first, but a blast. The entire song is joyful to play on the organ. I play it on a Wurlitzer.

Rick Delair yeah it's a blast to play and if you do it right, can make it sound just like a Hammond
I'm 20 too. It's funny how a lot of people our age are getting into music that's been around when we were born. It's good stuff!
Damn that ‘bridge’ part leading to the chorus is badass! Really sets up the chorus, really really well. “And it’s no great mystery... yes it’s true”
Yeah...80´s and mid 90´s. Good times. Musically sweet and understandable. They created good music and lyrics. Miss those times. This weekend, here where i live, there´s a "Stuck in the 80´s" party. It´s going to be a huge event.
what a great song, what a great time
Alguém do Brasil ouvindo em 2020/2021????

Espero algún día poder asistir a un concierto del Sr. Huey.
Linda musica perfeita saudades dos anos 80 e 90 saudades

It’s friggin perfect! My god man. Not as easy as they make it look!
Amo esta canción..
Cuando, lo q sentías lo decías con una canción
Kinda sad I’ll never be able to be there, grateful I can listen whenever.
miss you 80’s 🙈
Uma bela canção com arranjo magnífico. Um ótimo cantor e ator! Show
Como no adorar a este grupo, con esta sencillez en el vestuario y en su voz que nos gana el corazón y nos hierve la sangre.
Now i know what my Dad meant when he was listening to the Beatles and Stones over and over in the 90's lol
He said to me i would understand when i got older. And NOW I DO! :)
This is awesome! Along with A-ha :)

This is a super tight band, reminds me of Eddie Moneys band.
I met him in Vegas over 20 years. I was a big fan at that time. Anyways, I’m was Impaired and I said to him “could this it?” one of my favorite songs he sang. He looked at me in confusion and finally he realized my attempt at comedy. We both laughed and he went his way.
amazing live performance, his voice is top notch.
Perfect singing just like in the studio version. Great singer!
Linda melodia 2021 Brasil músicas 80 e 90😎👏👏👏👏
They could tell me I was dying tomorrow---and if I heard this song right afterwards it would put a big smile on my face, a spring in my step, and a carefree feeling in my heart!!
Same feeling
I was listening to this song when my mother passed on. It brought comfort to me.
It brings back my college life memory .... used to listen to this song on the radio while burning the midnight oil
Wooow this is still smazing to my ears
Amazing man , truly amazing. Nothing like a Huey Lewis and the news song. Thumbs up to that. 👍
Their music always made me feel good....still does
Bienvenido a los 80 los que esten compartiendo este lindo temazo....
Huey is a legend❤️🇺🇸♥️
Julio 2021 escuchando a los pocos grandes musicos que quedan!!!
Qué encanto se hombre!!!!!!👍🙌👏💖💖💖💖💖😘🤩🥰😍
Wow. what a feel good song, man. It stands the test of time without a doubt.
Huey and his boys at their very BEST!!!

"THANKS so much for all you've given us, Huey"!!!
Me and my hubby's theme song 🎵 ♥️..... great 👍 singer
This is absolutely brilliant- love the way Huey encourages the audience to sing "yes it's true" at the beginning of every chorus.
Yes it's true I'm happy to be stuck with you........never gets old..still one of the greatest song of Huey and the News.
WOW sounds the like the original.........not so many artist can sing like Phil Collins and Huey Lewis!! Awesome...........greatest of all Time!
Lo mejor!!! Mi vida en el colegio secundario eso fue y será por siempre
The News are the Shizzle..... Proper tight backline with solid vocals and Huey is the icing on that musical cake.
What an absolute Geeeeeeeeza 👊🏼
Those harmonies !
Perfect performance! Flawless!
This song marked my life with a great love!
One of the most underrated pop songs ever... Hooks all over it... Huey had a great range too..... Never to be repeated.....
These old songs are the only thing that brings any kind of relief to my mind, I guess when I get ready to eat a bullet I will have something like this playing in the background
Great song Huey!!! Good memories from the awsome 80’s
I'm going to keep watching this until it hits AT LEAST 1 million. Huey, you and the boys still kick hella ass!!! FTW!! I say you in 1996 when I was 16, with the original line-up. It changed my life FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've been a fan since I was a tiny baby back in the early 80's. Keep up the real deal Huey. Two thumbs way up!!!!!!!!!!
OUTSTANDING
Iconic voice!!!!
Fantastic memories from my teenage when listening to this song..Love, hunting, friendship and unanswered love
Ah, it's one thing listening to this on TH-cam (which is great off course), but listening to tunes like this back in the golden ages, kids, you've missed out.
PERFECT live version, magnificent! What an excellent bunch of musicians! 10/10!

Huey lewis clasico por siempre genia para escucharlo todo el dia

Still watching this every night. So stuck on Huey and the band. Awesome talent.
This past Christmas I inherited all their albums and a new record player.. I'm soooo blessed!
Huey Lewis and the News,de las mejores bandas,de rock etc . Estadounidenses de la historia,y con nivel y clase en los temas,la banda de San Francisco.
I used to wonder what this song was all about when I was a kid. Now that I've been married for 15 years (dang, how'd the time go so fast?) I totally understand this song. My wife and I may not always get along, just like in any marriage, but we're totally dedicated to each other. Very happy to be 'stuck' with each other.
I love the organ part in this song!
Amazing the way they play this song, cause it's like listening to their album....
God, this stuff never gets old! I saw Huey and the original line up back in 1996 when they put out their "Time flies: best of album" and it still is one of the ALL TIME greatest concerts I've ever been to.
Non stop listening to this song everyday😍😍😍
Yes, it is true ... I am so happy to be stuck with this music more than 40 years ago....
I was born in '87! Great song
Esse som toca todo dia nas rádio, eu tudo sempre que toca 👏
This
Music gives you Cold schivers great Musik thanks lovely
Your so right in all your points made...i probably took this for granted at the time but now can see how great this music and band were.
thanks to the one who up loaded this great video. I watched the clips back in 1987 during my AFS student exchange in Australia and liked it at the first time, and still do, even became me+wife favourite song.
Great song and great performace by Huey with his great voice
Bill and Mario carry this so effortlessly
Great live version of my favorite Huey Lewis and the News song. The harmonies sound better than the studio version!
I wish I could have been front row for this right here!!! Talk about epic show, epic band, EPIC FLIPPIN' SONG!!!! Love it!
Just the best. He is amazing in every way. Just can't stop playing him over and over again!
1987. What a year for music.
Flawless performance. Good old days.
