I so wanted to see that concert....I was on a plane flying from my sister's law school graduation in St. Louis to my college in Maine for finals and my graduation.

"Barefootin"! WOW!!!! It was so nice to finally see this infamous jam session again with The Neville Brothers, members of the Hall & Oates band, Tower Of Power, Mike Duke and others! :D

1984 live footage of Huey and The News is hard to find. Great stuff.

[@robf6105]

Huey is a born entertainer. I love the stuff with the drum machine.

[@carlosconesa]

Thanks so much for this, what a gem!

[@Paul-ep2py]

Thanks for posting this! I had no idea this footage existed

[@BillDavidsonTPS]

Wow. Thank you for this! This is fantastic.

[@gregmable]

Yet again, you dug up some OLD footage! I've never seen the full performance of "Barefootin'" before... only w/Bruce Springsteen. Amazing concert. I wish I was there.

[@elisagehrig9040]

Love you saw your live at Six Flags Great America in Illinois on the largest them park around the 1980s I think it was the largest theme park at the time

[@soeffingwhat]

First time I've seen Mario play a Kubicki bass, they were a Fender product for a while, no longer made though.

[@atvar69]

Wonderful.. another live from 1986 tour.. unfortunatley the official video (all the way live) was only 46 minutes long. THANK YOU from Italy!! you have somewhere a record of the Smallworld tour?

[@JohnDoe12345]

Glad you like it. The Small World videos were posted by others. There was a show at Slims in 1989, and a New Years Eve show in Tokyo in 1989.

[@thedys70]

I'm glad this recording has been archived, but obviously not a 1st-generation copy? Looking somewhat washed-out?

[@LoopConnection]

That's a strange setlist for a 1986, cause there's no Fore song apart from Power Of Love and Back In Time

[@razorrob73]

:) Hey Mikikk001, If I recall, I believe this show was performed in May of '86 and, of course, "FORE!" was released a few months later in September.

[@robf6105]

Neither song appeared on "Fore!" They were on the Back to the Future soundtrack. Speaking of "Fore!", I think that they missed a golden opportunity by not releasing "I Never Walk Alone" as a single. That song had hit written all over it. Instead, they released the ridiculous "I Know What I Like."

[@highschooltroll5281]

Power of love was on fore in Australia 🇦🇺

[@triplejazzmusicisall1883]

@@robf6105 Yes I too thought I Never Walk Alone was a fantastic song - one of the best. In some countries including Australia The Power of Love was included on the official release of Fore!
