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.

This is rad
Uploaded a year and a half ago?! Really? I live this song!
Ain't no harm in takin' little taste. But don't fall down and start messin' up Bob Brown's face!
I really like Huey but he can't seem to make his mind up get stoned or is it hip to be square
You are outsand😅
They took a perfect R&B tune and reduced it to skating rink music.
I wouldn't know; I don't hang out in skating rinks [shrug]. I thought they did a fine 80's interpretation of this Ray Charles classic.
@L Short
Yeah, they are too white.
@@1KSarah I guess you think Joe Cockers version is to white also, you are probably not a musician ether, some times when you are, and you like a song you do the best you can with what you have to work with, this is in a bar not a recording studio
@@djmcguire1
Joe Cocker's version is great.
These guys need more testosterone.
@@1KSarah Don't judge them on a song recorded in a bar, Huey Lewis had some great songs, 19 top 10 hits in the 80s and early 90s and being an old rocker myself I can tell you the sound you get in bar is a lot different then what you get in a studio or a large concert venue, I've always been impressed by a band that can reproduce live what they've done in studio, check out Bad is Bad not one of their best or most known but great lyrics and harmonies, they also did some great A Cappella songs in concert
