Huey Lewis & the News - The Sports Tour (1985)

[@chrisderby6218]

Bill Gibson was SUCH an underrated drummer. Every beat, every night, so tight. Been a drummer for 30+ years and still love playing his stuff. So fun and fulfilling. Made 4-4 playing truly exciting.

[@takemebacktothen]

Why was? He still is!

in addition to being a backing vocalist who never runs out of steam😃...wish I had so much stamina lol

[@Dollarkat]

Right? He’s fantastic.

This is what the biggest band in America in 1985 sounded and looked like. This concert is perfectionism and so fun. Thanks for the upload.

How in the hell can any band play at this level of concentration and precision and STILL sing with harmony that tight??? I’m in awe.

[@sleep_sounds]

studio magic

[@sleep_sounds]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/in-whJmCYp51g7s This is what they sound like live. Very good, just not perfect... which isn't expected. When you are releasing a live Video or Record some bands will overdub to get the sound just right. Little known secret.

[@admiralbob77]

@@sleep_sounds No, I saw them live in 1987. The other video must be an off night. They really did sound as good as this. They did a two and a half hour show with Tower of Power and I did not hear a single mistake or bad note from a single musician on stage.

[@sleep_sounds]

@@admiralbob77 when you are live it is loud and through big speakers, it makes you think it sounds amazing… and it kind of does. But every band that has a live album is at least mixed in a studio with most of them having mistakes fixed or parts sweetened. Its just how it works in the industry. Ive been a part of these live recordings as a musician and a producer, trust me, it gets mixed in a studio and overdubs happen.

[@takemebacktothen]

I think in "Heart and Soul" the guitars sound kind of out of sync with eachother

[@tribeshift]

It is very impressive how Huey's live vocals are basically exactly the same as the studio recordings.

thats a mouthful of TRUTH There Buddy !!! as a kid I saw my 1st electric guitar, instantly feel in Love with it, bought it with my news paper route money, havent looked back ever since, its been a crazy Life, Learning how to play the guitar is no easy taask, not by a long shot !! but when you,ve got a completed song list of 20 or so songs, that you loved hearing on the radio, and now can play those songs on your guitar not to mention, teaching yourself , by going to the Library taking out books on learning how to play the guitar for dummies, plus watching as many video,s as possible, seemed almost impossible, I refused to give up, my song list hit 21, walking up on a stage in a club filled with about 100 or so half drunks, an half dressed girls, made every second of study well worth it, IDK, some people seem to pick up on how to play right qwik, without too much trouble, it wasnt that easy for me, one thing i should have used during my self teaching yrs, was a metronome, which I never had one, the 1st time I used one, it instantly increased my ability , I couldnt believe how that thing helped my playing so much, everything went into over drive , i was learning songs faster than ever, an even adding my own twist into it, i was able to make all the music I played my Bitch, lol, so to anyone out there having a difficult time teaching your self how to play, get these 2 things, an SC-1 clip/on strobe tuner, and a metronome, and a few chord books, that includes scales/patterns,ETC: you,ll be forming your own band within a year, but dont sit around dreaming about it, or jerking off, dedicate your self to play everyday for 8 to 10 hrs, if not everyday 5 or more will work, stay consistent, dont play one day for 8 hrs and wait a month to pick your guitar up again, you might as well sell it, that behavior is just wasting time, if you cant commit to 5 to 7 days a wek 8 to 10 hrs a day, teaching/studying your self, you,ll never get there, be honest to your self, if its what you LOVE, then dive in head first !! otherwise move on to something you do LOVE to do, at 9 yrs old I knew I LOVED THE GUITAR and wanted to play it, that in its self is a job, just finding out what its going to take to make sense of this thing made of wood, and has 6 steel strings, but looks super cool !! but then here comes the real trick, is learning how to play going to be super cool ? HELL YEAH !! especially in the long run, itll be well worth it, if you do decide I want to learn how to play the guitar, if you can afford an instructor cool, thatll be a great help, but if youwere like me, no money, except what I made from my paper route cash , I couldnt afford a teacher, getting into clubs with live bands was a help, id watch the bands guitarist and watched what he did with his fingers on the fret board, they probably thought I was crazy,LOL, I did I could to learn how to get down and really play this the electric guitar, the COOLEST THING ON EARTH !!! an get up on stage and have an AWESOME TIME !! GO FOR IT !! W/H/W/ 7/16/24

I was at this Sports concert in 1985, 15 years old in Toronto. One of the first concerts I ever saw. Huey has always been one of my favourite bands. They played ‘The Power of Love’ which was the title song of BTTF , then an unknown movie coming out that summer. Such great memories.

[@joshuaecht]

I think of my father whenever I hear Huey Lewis. He was a musician at one point in his life, and taught me the value of going in every day, working hard and doing the best you can. HLN was a "working" band, in that they stuck with the same lineup for years, avoided drama and kept refining their material to the point where they were one of the tightest bands of the '80s.

[@REACHMUSIC1]

These are great musicians! No in ears, no click/backing tracks, no auto tune either! AWESOME!

[@DerBlutenPat1348]

Nothing wrong with in-ears. Sometimes it’s nice to be able to clearly hear your bandmates’ instruments in noisy rooms.

[@CalebNathanaelNettles]

[@aaronkahn5555]

in ears weren't even invented at this time and were not affordable at all when they were, the first performer to use them was stevie wonder in 87

I think they had some sort of voice enhancing on scene

[@pearlyrown2548]

Unfortunately, not only on voices. Look at both guitars on 'If this is it'. What you hear is not what they play. This is especially visible after the solo. Little cheaters ;-)

Ah.....harken to the days when performers had talent, and loved what they did, Huey and his News are in a class of their own....they all sing, play more than one instrument when needed, and genuinely have a good time on stage. Huey is one of my all time favorite harmonizing bands to boost my spirit when i've had a trying day and need chilling out, Hoping he will create another album..... I'll buy it in a heartbeat!!

[@christosstamato527]

They actually released a new album a few months back called 'Weather' (an indirect continuation of 'Sports'!). A Pretty good album, with great songs that it's as if they're meant to fit into any demographic out there! However, it's not meant to sound like their 80s stuff. It's still the closest they've sounded to what they did in their hayday since.. 1991's 'Hard At Play'! They've been touring all these years, and have released 3 more albums since the early 90s (1994, 2001, 2010) that even though they're extraordinary in every single way, while having the HLN soul, musicianship, playing, they lacked the classic HLN sound of their first few albums. Their new album (that unfortunately only has 7 songs, due to issues with Huey's hearing) is a 'true' Huey Lewis & The News album!

[@scottp5803]

@@christosstamato527 awesome Chris.....thanks for the update, I try to keep myself informed of my favorite bands upcoming material and performances especially the older bands where the members are aging and/or dying off and may not be around much longer like AC/DC ( who I have never seen live, but if they tour for the Power-up album, it might be my last chance to see them in their most complete original lineup since Back In Black)....but somehow I didn't know about all that Huey was up to lately, I guess maybe lack of press coverage. I'll have to look for that Huey album, it sounds like it's a good one. I'll have to look it up and see when they're coming to the city of Chicago again. I'll have to Buy me some tickets ASAP...... assuming we ever get live concerts again with this Corona crap lingering around.

I was the only one around to own this audio track. I had forgotten about it till I came upon it this morning. Thanks for posting.

Saw Huey live a few years ago. Still had it.

Chris Hayes such a fab guitar player,he should have got an award for that.

The coolest thing about Huey was when they approached him they wanted to get rid of Bill Gibson, the drummer, and Huey said no way, I wish I could find guys commiited like that. Long live the news!!!

they wanted to get rid of Bill Gibson? Who did? He's a fucking human metronome!

Phenomenal band, and this recording is so good... pristine

What a great band! Sensational horn section, including the amazing Marc Russo on alto sax.

A very tight band! Woefully underrated!

Huey Lewis is a freaking beast!
