Huey Lewis & The News - Walking On A Thin Line - Live Subscribe to our TH-cam channel at / hueylewisofficial Our website: hueylewisandthe... Tags: #hueylewisandthenews #hueylewis
One of the reasons that Huey and the News has my #1 is that you can listen to the same songs just for fun, for relaxing, or for serious contemplation of life and the issue of the moment. So many times I would have some dilemma on my mind and I would find solace and answers in a song. Walking on a Thin Line was always a song that just stood out to me. Far later, when I found out what it was written about, it helped me to look at Vietnam vets with more understanding.
Even the serious songs about serious topics like this one are all kinds of fun to listen and sing along to... nobody brought the good times quite like Huey and Company could!
I remember when this song came out on the radio. I was a junior in high school. My dad was a Vietnam era vet but never served over seas. I grew up with many Vietnam vets and they were great men. Some were haunted about things they did for the rest of their lives. We really should be doing better for the ones left and those current vets.
I’ve seen a ridiculous number of concerts since the 70s. Seen a ton of forgettable opening acts. Quite a few surprisingly good ones. And 3 WHO BLEW ME AWAY WITH GENUINELY EPIC SETS… SRV opening for MEN AT WORK (who were fantastic). VAN HALEN opening for BLACK SABBATH (BLEW ‘EM OFF THE STAGE, WE SPLIT MIDWAY OF SABBATH’S SET!) And HUEY LEWIS & THE NEWS OPENING for THE POLICE JUST BEFORE YOUR FIRST ALBUM DROPPED WERE AS GOOD AS IT GETS!! You were TIGHT & RELENTLESSLY HARD ROCKING! HUEY WORE THE HARMONICA HOLSTER & WAILED, ESPECIALLY IN DUETS WITH GUITAR & SAXOPHONE! And you had the ONLY LEGIT ENCORE I’VE SEEN! LIGHTS WERE UP, YOUR CREW WAS TAKING THINGS DOWN & WE WERE STILL GOING NUTS IN THE CROWD! THERE WAS SOME HUBUB & CONFUSION, THEN YOUR BIYS PUT THINGS BACK & PLUGGED THEM IN!!!!! WHEN YOU GUYS RETURNED TO STAGE YPU THANKED US, SAYING YOU’D PLAYED EVERYTHING FROM YOUR ALBUM THAT WAS ABOUT TO DROP… BUT YOU’D DO AN ELVIS & A COUPLE BEATLES COVERS!! A truly singular concert experience! 👊💥🎉
I love Huey and the boys-great band! Wish I could have seen them live! ❤😊 I always thought that I was just an excellent shot-at paper targets. Then this came out and I was married to a Vietnam vet. Wow, what a blow away. I wish we could have worked it out. 😢

Every Memorial Day and Fourth of July and Labor Day I post this and give thanks to our Military . Huey Lewis and the News Thank You .
see also their live performance of our national anthem. My favorite.

Chris Hayes is a hell of the guitarist!! The most underrated! I wish he’d still in the band - The News, so is Mario, the baseman.

Love this song ❤
Best song on the Sports album, and a contender for best song from the band.
My favorite by them.
Huey! The best of the best! Love it!

You seem like "that" huey fan.....what's your favorite tour?
This song reminds me of so many of the boys & men I have known
Finger taps ...I dig it!
If you you have ever seen them perform this live you know.
Some Those in the crowd served in the Wars and are now grandparents
When I was a kid I thought the guitarist from America and drummer from Huey Lewis was the same guy 😅
