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.

Excellent cover! I just discovered this today, on June 27th, 2024.
Can we take a moment to marvel at the rhythm section on this great Nick Lowe cover. Mario is a machine on bass hitting those 8th notes and locked in a groove with the drums making it look easy, and it’s anything but. No words for how solid his playing is...just great!
Agreed. He's an idol of mine. The News actually performed on Nick Lowe's version. So they're kinda covering themselves lol
Lll
The tightest band I ever heard, hands down!
Guess you never heard Santana
Simply fantastic! Perfect for Huey, Nick Lowe crafted this song with Huey in mind...
Relax people. It’s the Huey Lewis version. It’s good.
Nailed it perfectly..awesome version.
I always loved Dave Edmunds version best... Until now. Thank you Huey!
If you can't tap your foot to this tune, you are not alive! NEA
Loves this song
my favorite version right heah.. huey's voice was made for this song!
About a tie with Nick Lowe, but much better than Dave Edmunds.
It’s a perfect fit for Huey and the boys... similar style, sound, and instrumentation.
Huey Rules!!
SMOKIN" HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
huey had tone like no other
great cover!
Great song !
I love this song❤
Amazing groove!
Sadly the end of the wonderful 80's.
For those talking about the Edmonds or Lowe's version being first--they were in the same band. Lowe wrote it for Edmonds to sing and did his own version later
Rock&Roll!
This is right up there with Nick Lowes' version.
Huey even surprises me
It's funny so many people are saying they prefer Dave's or Nick's version when Huey Lewis and the News played on Nick's version. Huey played the harmonica featured prominently throughout his version. You can also hear Huey's backing vocals on Nick's version.
Great performance. It was a great partnership with Nick Lowe. ...I wonder if Huey remembers a minus zero day in Wisconsin in the early '90's...Ryan, WI.
wish he would go back and do more of these songs in his. concerts now
I remember a majority of his songs. Although my tastes have changed due to my understanding of/with Jesus Christ & I just personally don’t care for any sexual content in any songs today. I’ve simply changed that’s all. Thank goodness for that!
Great cover, oh and the girl who got on stage was cute...!!!
I think I like Nicks then Huey and then Daves. One of my favorites. I also liked go for a soda by Kim Mitchell around the same time
Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?
always great when some sexy honey wants to dance with you and will never get thrown off stage!!!lol
Hw cool was that tight band great nick lowe tune. Huey played harmonica on.nicks song too
Carlene Carter has a kick ass version out there somewhere
Great tune. I'd say I like Dave Edmunds' version best, followed by Huey, then the Nick Lowe original.
I wish I could hear him
Huey played harmonica on Nicks version
thank you mr obvious!!
but isn't it similar to "You Never Can Tell", by the real king of rock&roll Charles Berry?
ok searched it Nick Lowe.
Who did the song originally?
Nick Lowe
@@leokreimer6492 No Lowe wrote it. Edmunds released it in 1977, Lowe his version a year later.
Good version but I still love Nick Lowes original version the best.
Huey produced Nick's version, and The News was the band.
I think Dave Edmunds has always had the definitive versions of this (and many of Nick's songs!). Great version of Dave & the Refreshments doing it - ruclips.net/video/aZqnsywEZnk/видео.html
Linda Taylor so true!
I had some friends do this song for 9 years.. they used to start it out with the words "I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll" twice, like Nick Lowe, then go into the Dave Edmunds version. it was kind of cool.
Yep nick lowes the best linda
Only one version matters - the Rockpile version. This one's a pretty good live cover. (It doesn't compare to Rockpile in their day, but no band really can: ruclips.net/video/TDlSt6s_KuU/видео.html )
I like Huey. BUT he cant touch Dave Edmunds on this one!
The hot chick who jumped on stage is probably now a Grandmother…
Seeing Huey Lewis doing this, the thought that comes to my own mind is : I knew the groom when he used to rock and roll. This is insipid. He's done so much better than this.
The stupidity the dancing became in the 60s was an abomination. Dancing with youself( hey, I heard a song.....) was abjectly ridiculous. Dancing is because of a partner. The resurgence of Rockabilly has returned COUPLES to the dance floor. Welcome back. Lowe, Edmonds,the Stray Cats and bands now on Bopflix cemented this resurgence.
Love the song, but Dave & Nick do it better, imo.
Rockpile did it better... but well done
Don´t take on what you can´t chew. Leave Dave Edmunds alone. This isn´t even a cover. It´s just pahtetic!
You mean like your spelling? Try proof reading. Lastly, I'm curious what your definition of a "cover song" is and where does this performance fall short of being a cover? Just my 2 cents.
This is almost identical to Nick Lowe's version. Nick wrote the song for his band mate Dave Edmunds.
Should change the keyboard to a piano instead of the corny organ.
Rock&Roll!
