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!
Fun Fact. Huey was in a band called Clover back in the mid 70's. Along with members of the band The Rumour the label fused together an 'ad hoc' back up band for Elvis Costello's "My Aim Is True"-produced by the author of this song Nick Lowe-before Stiff and Jake Riviera formed the permanent back up band The Attractions. A fellow member of the band Clover-John McAfee-went on to play pedal steel on Elvis' country LP "Almost Blue". Everything that rises must converge.
Huey Lewis produced this song for Nick Lowe when he recorded it in 1985. It goes back to the late 70's. In my Copy Band days of the early 80's, this song was a staple in our set list. It always filled the floor and easy for a three piece band to do. We slowed it down just a touch......gives it a meaner groove.
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
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.
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.
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!
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
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.
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 )
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.
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.

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 drums make this song
The perfect cover song for HL & the News. Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds would be proud.

I loved how Huey and Dave Edmunds did their own takes on some of the same songs.
Gotta love the 80's rock n roll.... the Harmonica the drums..... these guys were a kick ass rock n roll band
Excellent cover! I just discovered this today, on June 27th, 2024.

Huey lewis ... Honky tonk Blues
Relax people. It’s the Huey Lewis version. It’s good.
If you can't tap your foot to this tune, you are not alive! NEA
Simply fantastic! Perfect for Huey, Nick Lowe crafted this song with Huey in mind...
The tightest band I ever heard, hands down!
Guess you never heard Santana
@@dragonfox2.058 or BB king
Love these guys.

huey had tone like no other

Nailed it perfectly..awesome version.
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.
I always loved Dave Edmunds version best... Until now. Thank you Huey!
Sadly the end of the wonderful 80's.
SMOKIN" HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Huey even surprises me
great cover!
I love this song❤
Did you ever see the Nick Lowe video version of the wedding! So funny!😅
Huey Rules!!
Loves this song
Great song !
Wow
Amazing groove!
Rock&Roll!

This is right up there with Nick Lowes' version.
wish he would go back and do more of these songs in his. concerts now
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
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
always great when some sexy honey wants to dance with you and will never get thrown off stage!!!lol
Great tune. I'd say I like Dave Edmunds' version best, followed by Huey, then the Nick Lowe original.
Do you like Huey Lewis and the News?
Huey played harmonica on Nicks version
thank you mr obvious!!
I wish I could hear him
but isn't it similar to "You Never Can Tell", by the real king of rock&roll Charles Berry?
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
Who did the song originally?
Nick Lowe
@@leokreimer6492 No Lowe wrote it. Edmunds released it in 1977, Lowe his version a year later.
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 )
ok searched it Nick Lowe.
The hot chick who jumped on stage is probably now a Grandmother…

I like Huey. BUT he cant touch Dave Edmunds on this one!
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!
