Summary:
Between 1982 and 1988, few bands worked harder than Huey Lewis Lewis and The News. Although the group was made up of seasoned vets, it wasn't until the breakout success of "Do You Believe In Love," a song from their second album, that they began receiving attention outside their home base of San Francisco. Over the coarse of the next six years, the group would perfect their blend of good time rock & roll music, infused with the soul and doo-wop influences of their youth. They would score big with three consecutive platinum albums and an impressive list of hit singles, including three number ones on the Billboard charts. Relentless touring and high rotation exposure on MTV would eventually pay off and the group would become a national headlining act capable of filling the biggest arenas in America.
In 1989 the group finally took some well-deserved time off from their touring and recording schedules with one notable exception. In May of 1989, Bill Graham presented a series of benefit concerts in multiple venues to raise awareness about AIDS and fund research and care for those afflicted in the Bay Area. Huey Lewis and The News took part in this "In Concert Against AIDS" series with a memorable one-off club performance at Slim's in San Francisco, which would not only be their first gig in over four months, but their first club gig in years.
Presented in its entirety, here is that performance. Surrounded by family, friends and a hometown audience, this intimate club gig has it all, including the group's biggest hits and a choice selection of covers. At one point, American Pro Bowl wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, Dwight Clark, joins the group onstage, lending his voice to the doo-wop classic "Working In A Cold Mine." Mark Russo, renowned for his saxophone work with Tower Of Power and The Yellowjackets, also joins in on the final half hour of this remarkable performance.

Lewis's microphone proximity is pro work, he knows exactly where to hit the mic off axis when he's really projecting and not kill the monitor mix, then he gets closer on mic for the lower range stuff. He's great.

[@scottyb83]

It's 1985, who's watching?

[@DrummerDanVa]

One of the coolest front men ever in a rock/pop band.

[@edwardpegolo2133]

That's because his friend and mentor, Was The Great Phill L...

[@jasondambach1800]

They don’t make music like this anymore. Huey is a legend. Hit after hit.

[@johncastle7058]

Bill Gibson best pocket player in the biz .Huey vocals just always amazing .This one of tightest bands ever pleasure to see live

[@kevinlane7555]

Bill Gibson played one of the most musical drum solos I have ever heard

[@HDESM]

Its 1989 and the 80s are almost over.....sad.

[@RL-yv7dw]

This is one of their most iconic songs and this song was in one of the most iconic movies "back to the future". It was so perfect! Been listening to Huey Lewis and the News for decades. Never get tired of them. 👍

[@yadermatute2977]

The best

[@davidfournier4311]

[@Cutie-loves-cupcake]

Back to the future brought me here

[@liquidbraino]

[@therunawaykid6523]

[@InfamousCrimeLocations]

[@TolinEddyMusic]

[@RL-yv7dw]

Huey Lewis and the News is TOO DARN LOUD! and, I LOVE IT!!! 😀 Pure rock n roll!!! I'm very disappointed in the Rock N Roll Hall Of Fame for not pulling them in. 😠😠😠

[@heat4yoass]

I always used to think the bass guitar guy with the shades always in the videos seen smoking a cigarette was the coolest when I was a kid.

[@paulelliott682]

Johnny Cola

[@davecoalwood9487]

No - Mario C

[@jasoncholwell3393]

My wife said he smoked in every one of the 18+ concerts she went to.

[@Branner]

It's amazing watching Cola play two instruments and harmonize with such ease--and always on point.

[@user-ew4pu4gm8g]

One of the world's musical masterpieces of Huey Lewis for the ages.

[@BrendaCanavas]

Sure do miss Huey Lewis! No other like him! So many GREAT songs and man could he ever blow a harmonica!

[@larryleitch3803]

From the Stone Ponys, to the big show, Huey Lewis has done it all

[@Pimp-Master]

Just fell in love with the lead solo in this song… Again.

[@mikesuszi1420]

We Love 💕 You Huey❣️ You make life so much happier🎸🥁🎶🎺🎷🎵🎹🎤🎼

[@lisadisbrow7522]

I love him so much!!! saw them in concert and danced my ass off!

[@danielfronc4304]

Boy, you can see that while Huey Lewis' heart is into the performance man does he look tired and ragged. I don't know what it was, but he was suffering and not giving that normal, vivacious "bounce around the stage" performance that he usually did. Still, props to him for giving it all he had.

[@Daveskee]

They'd been on a 4 year run of writing, recording and promoting i.e. non-stop touring around the world. Anyone would be a bit tired and ragged after 4 years of straight grindingggg ha. Still killed it though, as you say!

[@BrandOdyssey]

Love this band. Terrific songs and playing with no bullshit rock star pretence.

[@ckramer1964]

Such a great song..I just watched all 3 of the BTTF films last night... The guys are awesome!! Love the 80s!!

[@giuseppedemaria5363]

Ritorno al futuro? Yes.

[@stephenparsons6011]

My son's friends asked him to perform their wedding. He asked, "what do you want?" They said, "you'll think of something". So he recited these lyrics. The bride and groom loved it.

[@craigjgomez]

I'm not clear on your comment because it's vague, asked "him" and "he" asked makes it hard to know who you're talking about.

[@jackscharf6933]

One of the best live performances ive seen

[@kernel1506]

Impossible to still stand listening this sound

[@tonyvanicore5562]

He was simply FANTASTIC NEVER ELSE ELSE he had one unique thing a film that will be hard to see again. He was and will always be UNIQUE

[@buzzcrushtrendkill]

Just wished they'd turn down the keyboards and turn up the guitars on the this song, a great chorus groove.

[@flippergd]

Anyone have tabs for the ending solo?

[@shanebrown6811]

Quick marty let get of here in 2020 and go back to 1985

[@smonkey957]

2 Words BILL GIBSON

[@josephalvaro5244]

Really!He drives the band with such a deep pocket.

[@BradentonSlick]

Just noticed Sean Hopper (keyboards) is playing over a pre-recorded basic keyboard track. Not bashing that, just noticed it.

[@TheBestbackingtracks]

where?

[@lincolnhobartmiller]

No he’s not

[@elysiumwashere8966]

To me this is just like the other oldies

[@methvenarundell3057]

Then there's something wrong with you at a cellular level. Also, just FUCK OFF!!

[@carlbusque1856]

Didn’t know the lead guitarist was in the terminator 2…

[@matiasespindola9175]

is the father of malcolm in the 80 

[@daver1883]

Why is the T1000 from Terminator playing lead guitar?

[@therunawaykid6523]

Dave R Robert Patrick?

[@daver1883]

At 2:36ish when you see his side profile he looks almost identical to Robert Patrick.

[@yossarian_yo]

Yeah and agent Smith on bass

[@user-oe6ik8cl2t]

Hey Pa... Oh, sorry) I mean hello Marty

[@0icekold7]

Why does he keep his back to the audience. Kind of rude

[@realtonestar4342]

[@Cary1985]

Marty Mcfly

[@ulanbatormongolia1111]

If it rubs yer rhubarb who cares???

[@DavidLPeel]

I'm sorry you're just too darn loud.

[@Pimp-Master]

My guess is he was not heavily tripping on acid while performing this. 🤔😁

[@DAVINOENTERPRISES]
