Someone please tell me why music cant be like this today? See how much fun the audience is having. The Tower of Power horns and Huey and his band are awesome! I wish the 80's music would make a strong comeback and get rid of this crap we have to listen to today...Pure talent at work guys!!
Now THAT is how you play a live show! So many bands can't do sh1t live. The News and Dire Straits were two of my favorite 80's straight ahead rock bands that could really kick ass at show time.
@@tomprosser8958 Unfortunately not anymore - Phil’s health has declined so much that he struggles to sing the songs but still he puts in a lot of effort. Phil is younger than Huey but Huey looks about 30 years younger than Phil
TheManiacOnWheels-- I.m 65 now, by the time this comes around again, I'll be with Huey and the Boys in heaven (hopefully)... I spend most of my days surfing You Tube for all the greats from the 70's n 80's. DAMN ya gotta love the tower of power and his harmonica!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Saw them live in January of 1985 in Vegas (my home town). What a class act, and some of the most fun I've ever had at any concert. Great band. Awesome show. Thanks for the memories, Huey and company! ♥
I may have grown up in the 90's, but I'm an 80's child as far as music is concerned. This is one of the HOTTEST songs I've ever heard! Long live the 80's!
♪♫ This Day in Music: June 30, 1984 - Huey Lewis and the News went to No.1 on the US album chart with 'Sports', which catapulted the band to international fame. The album spawned four top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and a fifth went top 20. ♪♫
There was never any better, Billy Gibson on drums, the Tower of Power horn section (both so tight their arses probably squeaked when they walked) and the unbelievable Mr Huey Lewis. CLASSIC!
Total pros. Wow, what a performance. I saw them in December of '86 on the _Fore!_ tour, and it remains one of the best shows I've ever seen. When you respect your audience you come prepared, and these guys always deliver.
I saw Huey Lewis in concert twice in Philly (PA) back in 1981 opening for George Thorogood & Rolling Stones and 1982 with Joan Jett, Foreigner & Kinks. Both shows were incredible. I just got total body 'Goosebumps' just remembering those concerts. I can still picture them playing in my mind. I sure do wish I could go back to those good old days of Rock N Roll. ;-)
I've loved this band pretty much my whole life (I'm 28). My mom used to be able to play the VHS of the concert when I was 2-3 yrs. old and I'd be entranced; she STILL has it! I've their "Best Of" CD in my car, within easy reach.
I was 8 when this was released and have fond memories of it. Everything before your born is history. That's the way the sixties and fifties all feel to me something to memorize about and pull out the big hits here and there.
Just saw Huey and the News two nights ago at our county fair here in Indiana. Took my kids so they had an understanding of what real music is. Great show, great music, and always getting the crowd involved.
Huey Lewis and The News are going rock the UMB Big Bash at the Midland Theater in Kansas City... and, yes, that would be TONIGHT! The Heart of Rock and Roll will play in the heart of America... TONIGHT! I am not a professional promoter. Just excited to see this come down.
Great and happy day Huey Lewis and The News!!! Wow !!! This is really a amazing and spectacular performance so fantastic breathtaking and exiting and so much love and good vibrations in the air you give the audience absolutely wonderful !!! Well done !!! I love the song and it makes me happy to see and hear it !!! All of you are so good looking hairstyle , clothing and dear Huey you look adorable and glowing in your white elegant jacket you will always look young !!! You sing as always with your whole body and plays the harmonica so intense and amazingly good and how you throw your harmonica and your big jump in the end really impresses me!!! Johnny your solo is also amazingly good !!! All of you are the best !!! The arrangement in the beginning is very artistic with the lights and the stage is also very nice!!! I wish I was there !!! Good luck with everything and take care of each-others !!! A big hug to you my sweetest Huey and to The News also !!! Jeanette Josephson !!!
Saw them around 85 at the NEC in Birmingham, they started with this one and everyone was on their feet the entire gig. Amazing live band, up there with any of the greats.
I remember this back in the early 80's, Huey & the News came up with "I wanna a new Drug" then this Hit came along and just Won America's heart. Huey Lewis and the News were the Heart of Rock & Roll at that time and still, this song keeps it going, even now. Thanks for the post!
I remember watching these guys open for Heart in 1982 and getting booed by the fans, until the guitarist went on a rampage solo which instantly change the crowds mood and they got a standing ovation at the end.
I was around when it all started with Bill Haley and the Comets but for my money this is the best rock and roll song ever produced . Huey and his band are fabulous especially with The Tower of Power Horns.
Does anyone have all of this concert??!! This show captures this band at their tightest ever... Saw this this concert on TV in the 80's and have never heard a better live performance from the News. Great band!
***** Thanks for the tip there... looks like a great gig too, not sure that this is exactly the same show though. I'm after this very concert with Tower of Power Horns. Appreciate the reply though - cheers.
MrCo60 Hi there, I used to have this concert on VHS, and that one advertised on eBay is the same concert. Sadly it doesn't seem to be available on DVD in Region 1 (USA).

Can you believe these guys ARE NOT in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?
Hell, they put rappers in the R&R Hall of Fame before the Doobie Brothers. Huey and The News belong there.
With all due respect to all current past present future acts out there - this is how it’s done. IMHO.
Amen
Totally agree
💯 🎷 🎸 🎺 🎷 💯
That bass player is just the coolest ever!!
hes good too
Cig in his mouth and one jammed in the head of guitar with a poker face and doesn't break character
Mario Cippolina..John Cippolinas brother..they Rock big time !
He’s also a really really nice guy
Someone please tell me why music cant be like this today? See how much fun the audience is having. The Tower of Power horns and Huey and his band are awesome! I wish the 80's music would make a strong comeback and get rid of this crap we have to listen to today...Pure talent at work guys!!
Wow. Real music. Real instruments. Real personality. You can tell these guys are just authentically having a blast and enjoying what they do.
REAL TALENT, REAL LIVE PERFORMANCE, REAL SINGING, REAL PLAYING!! CAN I KEEP IT REAL!!
Now THAT is how you play a live show! So many bands can't do sh1t live. The News and Dire Straits were two of my favorite 80's straight ahead rock bands that could really kick ass at show time.
i pray every day the heart of rock n roll is stillbeating
Gary G yeah most can't pull it off live but these guys ROCK
How about Genesis with Mr. Phill Collins?
@@tomprosser8958 Unfortunately not anymore - Phil’s health has declined so much that he struggles to sing the songs but still he puts in a lot of effort. Phil is younger than Huey but Huey looks about 30 years younger than Phil
You know when a song is a classic when it keeps cropping up in movies and used in themes all over television even 20+ years later. B-)

Given the state of current music, I'd say if indeed the heart of rock n roll may still beating but the rest of rock n roll's body is on life support.
You got that right

rock is dead. and so is country.

Amen, Brother ! Sad state today----R & R is on it's last legs, I fear. ---------WolfSky9
Love Huey! Hard to believe it was 1985 and it seems so long ago.. Does this mean i am getting old?
I live in Hungary, but I hear the heart of rock&roll beatin' from here!
Saw them live in January of 1985 in Vegas (my home town). What a class act, and some of the most fun I've ever had at any concert. Great band. Awesome show. Thanks for the memories, Huey and company! ♥
When I was younger I wanted Huey Lewis as my Christmas present.
Huey was,is,and will be forever and ever a class of his own
This was a great show. I was about 12 rows back from the stage. I still have the VHS of this one.
Tower of Power killing it as usual.
I may have grown up in the 90's, but I'm an 80's child as far as music is concerned. This is one of the HOTTEST songs I've ever heard! Long live the 80's!
Live classic rock perfection in this fantastic hit !!! Party on !!!
Lewis rocks! I saw him in concert in Providence back in 1984 - man, he's got some moves.
These guys were great and I still love their songs today!!!!

Great concert...saw it in Little Rock. He got 3 encores and the crowd wanted more!!!
What an awesome performer! If you think this was great, I hope you get to see them live one day.
I think I was 10 when Sports came out. I came home and my mom was reading the lyrics from my cassette. She was so mad about I Want A New Drug. Lol
There was never any better, Billy Gibson on drums, the Tower of Power horn section (both so tight their arses probably squeaked when they walked) and the unbelievable Mr Huey Lewis.
CLASSIC!
That was Huey Lewis and we just heard the News! The best News ive heard in a long time!
Better than the corona virus
hey at least it wasn't FAKE news
Total pros. Wow, what a performance. I saw them in December of '86 on the _Fore!_ tour, and it remains one of the best shows I've ever seen. When you respect your audience you come prepared, and these guys always deliver.

Hue's and and the News were without a doubt one of THE most pre-eminent bands of the 80's and 90's and songs like this one prove it
How many of us can say that our best moments were as magnificent as Huey's?
It just doesn't get any cooler than this........Huey's the boss!
A Beatle concert event. Nobody has had or ever will have a more excited crowd. Incredible Wow. TD Atlanta
This is the way a concert is meant to be. They are really playing, really singing, and putting on a hell of a show.
Probably the tightest band ever. They're perfectionist!!
Mario and Bill really kept the band together. Extremely solid rhythm section
I've loved this band pretty much my whole life (I'm 28). My mom used to be able to play the VHS of the concert when I was 2-3 yrs. old and I'd be entranced; she STILL has it! I've their "Best Of" CD in my car, within easy reach.
This really gets your feet a moving.
I love Huey and the harmonica! Just so awesome!
Wow ! Huey Lewis live is one of the best versions I have heard~~~It sounds like the original~ They really have their stuff together!
I wasn't even born in that year and I still like my old music and I'm only 18
amy lobb means there hope forvus yet
amy lobb thats really good!!!
I was 8 when this was released and have fond memories of it. Everything before your born is history. That's the way the sixties and fifties all feel to me something to memorize about and pull out the big hits here and there.

The 80's was about having fun.
Huey Lewis and the News - The Heart Of Rock & Roll Live 1985 nice old classic !!!!!!!

They are in Blue Ash (northeast Cincinnati) , Ohio on the 4th of July...... going to have a great time tonight !!!!!!
Just saw Huey and the News two nights ago at our county fair here in Indiana. Took my kids so they had an understanding of what real music is. Great show, great music, and always getting the crowd involved.

This wasn't Huey Lewis and the News, this was Huey Lewis delivering the news!
Saw them around 85 at the NEC in Birmingham, they started with this one and everyone was on their feet the entire gig. Amazing live band, up there with any of the greats.
When music was cool and inspiring...
I love the way Mario Cipolina used to just stand there and Lurk in the Background. Typical 'old style' Bass Player thing to do :-D.
My first concert in 84
What a great sound!
@pf91rodman That's Mario Cipollina, the original bassist for the band.
My favorite Huey Lewis & The News song ever
this tune is 10x better with T.O.P Horns. One of the best horns sections ever in my opinion.
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo gooooooood.......
2019... anyone here?
Listening in 24🫡👍
COOOOL !!!.....
THANKS !!!
I was at this show. The Kabuki Theater in San Francisco, the Sports Tour.
LOVE IT! Huey rocks!
Always love it...and his 'Hip to be Square'.
Classic Huey Lewis & the news and Tower of Power
What is Tower of power Miguel?
Just WOW!!
I remember this back in the early 80's, Huey & the News came up with "I wanna a new Drug" then this Hit came along and just Won America's heart. Huey Lewis and the News were the Heart of Rock & Roll at that time and still, this song keeps it going, even now. Thanks for the post!
This is another I haven't heard before. Just terrific. Liten to that beat!
bonita cancion me hace recordar muchas cosas de juventud
Titans of Rock
I remember watching these guys open for Heart in 1982 and getting booed by the fans, until the guitarist went on a rampage solo which instantly change the crowds mood and they got a standing ovation at the end.
@wendel88 I miss them! I love this music! Today's music sucks!
You are right 80's music is the ever
A bar band I just joined has this on their repertoire. So glad they did, or I would never have heard this song.
Um trabalhador, se divertindo ao realizar seu trabalho com maestria .
Canta muito, sensacional!
I was around when it all started with Bill Haley and the Comets but for my money this is the best rock and roll song ever produced . Huey and his band are fabulous especially with The Tower of Power Horns.
This band is awesome!!!!!
this song is so fun!!!!!
Does anyone have all of this concert??!! This show captures this band at their tightest ever... Saw this this concert on TV in the 80's and have never heard a better live performance from the News. Great band!

MrCo60 Hi there, I used to have this concert on VHS, and that one advertised on eBay is the same concert. Sadly it doesn't seem to be available on DVD in Region 1 (USA).
mega rouge cheers.. Great show huh... had it on VHS myself for a while... gone now. I'm region 4 DVD (NZL)... might check it out :)
Awesome! Yep, between that concert and the "Fore And More" VHS I watched a LOT of tv in the mid eighties. :D I had a mad crush on Mario, the bassist.
what a show!
the horn section moves like the blues brothers
I love the horns now, but Tower Of Power was super cool!
My nephew Mike LOVED these guys (rest his soul) Yeah the HEART IS IN Cleveland!!!! Rock on....

I wasn't born yet! But Huey Lewis is probably one of my favorites from this era of music!!!
You're absolutely right; hard to believe that even the sound is live... not only the video....
12-15-2021 .. I 💖 the 80's .
Bring back Arena Rock ! 🤣 !
Huey your great. Your drummer and sax players are even greater!
Bill Gibson is the best
