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.

Love that Huey always kept Phil on heart and soul...like doing this song from Phil s solo album... Would have love to see the worlds reaction to the three songs Phil recorded with Huey producing right before Phil died...

[@chrystalmiller4312]

Love this song Huey you still rock

[@martimcshy]

Chris Hayes is literally the most underrated rock guitarist ever

[@SLAmey-mu9hd]

He covered a lot of genre's with their music. Soul licks, Disco chops, Rock and power runs, distortion fuelled overdrive with jazz inflections.... He da man!!

[@jamie-fm6mx]

Was just thinking that exact same thing..very under rated guitarist. Was my 1st guitar influence as a 12 year old learning guitar..now as a 50yo I still remember his playing with joy after adding multitudes of other more well known guitarists to my list now heroes

This is my go-to feel good song! Sounds great live!

[@stevent8228]

The Mullet is strong with this band. I love them.

[@takimashuda]

I've got mad respect for Huey Lewis simply because of his relationship with Philip Lynott.

[@bingbing4332]

One of those classic bands that can do a cover that’s as great if not better than the original.

[@7Earthsky]

Huey and the news did a couple of great Thin Lizzy covers..This was one of them.

[@7Earthsky]

***** It was released on the Thin Lizzy album 'Jailbreak' in 1976 so that would be odd if that were true.

[@7Earthsky]

Yeh sorry, This is an old post, I didn't watch the vid again. I thought he was singing boys are back.

[@cameronhadley7174]

Philip would be proud.

[@rozenaxsax5133]

This right here is REAL ROCK AND ROLL!!! The shit they play today can't come even close to this. Real voices, real instruments, real heart and soul, nothing synthetic and money isn't the reason for the music, either. This concert was a benefit that the band played for Free!!!!! See if any big stars today do that for an hour and a half anytime. I highly doubt it. Huey Lewis is the real deal.

[@nimv59]

Chris Stamato me in 2020 during all these madness that has been goin on

[@colindowd9756]

HLN the band that can literally play it all!

[@carlosconesa]

Solid.

[@NawImNate]

It’s insane how this is in 360p and looks better than some 480+ recordings 😂

[@oisinkennedy4798]

Deadley

[@616MB]

He was partly deaf there already right? Insanely great performance!!!!! Phil Lynott would have been proud

[@jeffleszczynski618]

This is 89....

[@fiocchetta1]
