A friend of mine says that Huey also has an excellent blues/rock voice, right up there with the likes of Paul Rodgers and Bob Seger. You know what?, I agree!
from 3.32 - 4,25 very good interpretation of Little Walter´s " Roller Coaster" . All the good Blues Harp players stumbled over his songs or interpreted them or stuck to it there´s no way passing by Little Walter if you want to become a good player. Huey proves it . L.W. is the greatest blues harper of all times. RIP
The middle section until around 4:30 contains parts from Little Walter's 'Rollercoaster'. Just thought you should know, that song is one of the blues harp's most impressive achievements
Huey's no shrinking violet next to ANY of the world's greatest (or best known) harmonica players, he's got the tools. John Popper's work on "Live From The Fall" is mindblowing--one of the best I've ever heard in that it wasn't just standard blues/rock or folk harmonica patterns and vocals, which is what most players seem to aim for. Unique songs r also factor in greatness, and at time JP had that over evry other harp player...Huey definitely could gloat here if he wanted to though.
Great jam! Smooth transitions, makes it look like second nature! Gotta love that, one day I will get to that lvl. One of the best harmonica players in the world. Soul in the music, that's what it's all about. It comes from within. Music you can feel, I had to watch this twice! Thanks for posting this.
Never knew this about Huey, only the rather tame part from 1 song, which I wouldnt've dreamed was actually him anyway, but goddam he can seriously play with ANYONE! I wanna know if he ever contributed harp parts to others' albums.
@compbob2000 He is playing 3D' (3 draw 1st half-step bend--note that there are 3 distinct 3 draw bend notes available, each a 1/2 step down from the previous), then going quickly to the 2 draw (unbent), and back to 3D' (repeat this pattern).
This Concert is actually from New Years Eve in Tokyo in 1989 and there are a couple more Vids from it incuding a version of The Boys are back in Town, and there isn't the full version of New Drug but there is a Video of Mario Cipollina the Bass Player, doing a rather kick ass solo in the middle of it.
I actually base a solo I do with my own band off this very number. Mine's nowhere near as elaborate or long, but we use it to segue into an old blues tune called Little Red Rooster.
I love how he almost slipped coming off the riser but kept it going. True showman, loved his concert at the Clay Center in WV on Thursday. Have some videos up on my channel if you would like to see. Working for a Livin' with a mandolin player on stage ,very interesting. Uhh Heart and Soul, New Drug, Small World. Check them out guys!
@marflemerfmarf No, it sounds similar because Spokey Dokey and this both use D harps and the blues scale. The songs are very different, and I say this as a person who plays harmonica.
Knew Huey was bad on harmonica but found a video earlier where he was playing a sax and I'm like, "Well, THAT figures"....as all into the Sax section he is while they're playing and he's not singing. I was pleasantly surprised....never saw him play one b4 that video. Cool and awesome.
@mrmacharp Thanks, I didn't catch that. Tell me in your opinion is it necessary to have an E and F harp? I mean do you use those two keys oftern? Thanks.
@jenhba , I never use an E harp, i play crossharp when i play, i do have a Low E harp that i around the house. i do suggest you get yourself an F harp, i use an F harp when the band is in C (crossharp). myself i like the Low F harps, i just dont like high notes, that's why i like the low keys :)
@NickeyWhitfield I think he is playing two holes/notes and with the tong block one of these when sounds clean and bend the note, you follow me? I wish i helped you with this, greetings :)
@gillbildobaggins , a green bullet mic is nice to own, but your technics should be the first thing. first a good acoustic sound, then you will have a sweet amplified sound.
Guys i am going to start playing harmonica!!! i am going to buy one but i dont know how much should i spent??? i need help !!!! S.O.S. i would appreciate it if you could HELP!!!

Almost falls down stairs around 4:22 and walks it off like a badass.
cool - this man plays little walter stuff! Rollercoaster....great!!!! And big respect!
One of the best all round talented bands I've seen.
I play a little harmonica but it will be a long time and many hours of practice before I can play like this...hes amazing!!!
Huey Lewis is so talented - a rocking great dance tune as well as an amazing display of what can be done with a harmonica!
WOW!!!! I didn't know he could play so well..... My next harmonica hero!!
Hi,
The harp is in D, he is playing crossharp in the key of A

And that's the power of love
love love love love this clip. love huey lewis

Holy... Hell... I'm speechless.
GENIUS!!! Nothing else to say!
AWESOME..sic...nutz...outstanding!
Wow.. incredible
Really great bit performance. Holy smokes that ending was intense.
I have never seen a man blow out of a rectangle in such a way before
I can't stop watching this.
CRAZY!!! LOVE IT!!!!
So cool how you can watch Huey and on the side you get links to Sonny Boy Williamson, John Lee Hooker, and Charlie Musslewhite.
Very awesome!
Amazing.
That was awesome..!
omg i love it haha...why cant more people make tunes like this anymore :(
Never knew this about Huey, only the rather tame part from 1 song, which I wouldnt've dreamed was actually him anyway, but goddam he can seriously play with ANYONE! I wanna know if he ever contributed harp parts to others' albums.
solo .. slow ... flow to my heart
Incredible.. wow 0.0
Very Cool.
Huey is the man!
@TheReedBender I wish I would have seen this! thanks so much!
@compbob2000 He is playing 3D' (3 draw 1st half-step bend--note that there are 3 distinct 3 draw bend notes available, each a 1/2 step down from the previous), then going quickly to the 2 draw (unbent), and back to 3D' (repeat this pattern).
Thank you, added to a playlist...
This band is still one of my favorites!
Thans for your comment
@compbob2000 - He is playing the 4 draw bend and the 3 draw. The tab would be: 4d', 3d, 4d', 3d, 4d', 3d.
That man can play
His neck is going mad! He almost falls off the stairs and doesn't even miss a beat!
This is cool. I here licks from lots of different things here. I can hear both Spokey Dokey, Juke, and Steven Tyler in this solo.
3:40 best sound of harmonica
MT FODA.. I LIKE..!!!
Fuckkkinnnnn Huey Lewis mannn! This is a true musician right here. Mad props! -3

if i could play the harmonica like huey lewis i would be sooo happy.....
cool....
@jenhba , these day's Huey plays Tony Dannecker harps, in the past i believe he played Hohner special 20's
I actually base a solo I do with my own band off this very number. Mine's nowhere near as elaborate or long, but we use it to segue into an old blues tune called Little Red Rooster.
Every time I hear a harmonica solo I think Cowboy Bebop
@caracho1980 yeah :-)) wohhooo!!!!!
@jenhba , he is changing the harp because it's a bad one, you can hear him say it, he is stil in the same key.
yeeeeeeeahhhhhhhhhh
Cool : )
thanks i im trying in in a d now! i wil figure this one out! =)

He's gotta great style hasn't he... bit of Sonny T an a bit of Butterfield.... methinks! Yeah I love it!!
@xxeu4riaxx I totally agree with you. This music was so much better and it had real meaning.
@marflemerfmarf No, it sounds similar because Spokey Dokey and this both use D harps and the blues scale. The songs are very different, and I say this as a person who plays harmonica.
How old was he here, like 14? LOL Saw them last year in Rhode Island, they were great. Not like the watered down stuff u hear on the Radio
Knew Huey was bad on harmonica but found a video earlier where he was playing a sax and I'm like, "Well, THAT figures"....as all into the Sax section he is while they're playing and he's not singing. I was pleasantly surprised....never saw him play one b4 that video. Cool and awesome.
Hot shit he plays a mean harp.
i think i found a newsort of music i like ; D
Amazing!!! Trying to learn the instrument now for 3 months. Does an 80s mullet help? I want one anyway
does he have rows on his harmonica? it sounds like hes playing harmonica over another harmonica. dudes skilled.
Just a f***ing master...
Anyone can chug, but aint nobody can chug like that
@NickeyWhitfield
I'm pretty sure that he's just using the-- 4 draw bend, 3 draw, 4 draw bend, 3 draw, 4 draw bend, to the 3 draw.
@mrmacharp Thank you much appreciated.
@mrmacharp I don't care for the High harps either but was wondering. Thanks for your response.
damn i wish i could play harmonica
WOW! he's got lungs!
@mrmacharp i think he ment the hair style
insanne,,haha i wanna dance :D
How... how does he do this???
Does he have like 2 harmonica's in his hand?
I don't understand :O
yoko kanno must have been there because she totally ripped this off
He mentioned "mullet" not bullet :)
almost slipped at 4:31 :O
great played tho!
@mrmacharp Thanks, I didn't catch that. Tell me in your opinion is it necessary to have an E and F harp? I mean do you use those two keys oftern? Thanks.
@mrmacharp Is Huey playing a Marine Band? Thanks in advance.
is it a lee oskar? by the way this is awesome
@mrmacharp I just noticed, did he switch harps at 1:23 of this video and if so what key did he switch too. Thanks.
@jenhba , I never use an E harp, i play crossharp when i play, i do have a Low E harp that i around the house. i do suggest you get yourself an F harp, i use an F harp when the band is in C (crossharp).
myself i like the Low F harps, i just dont like high notes, that's why i like the low keys :)
Can anyone tell me in what key the harp is?
Awsome solo!
does any no what wholes he blowing and drawing I want to learn this but Im having a hard time with any help would be appreciated
Huey is playing on a D harp
@NickeyWhitfield I think he is playing two holes/notes and with the tong block one of these when sounds clean and bend the note, you follow me? I wish i helped you with this, greetings :)
@gillbildobaggins , a green bullet mic is nice to own, but your technics should be the first thing. first a good acoustic sound, then you will have a sweet amplified sound.
just buy harmonica and play it now!
@mrmacharp Did Huey change from a D harp to another? Thanks.
in what key is harmonica is?
I dont like it... i love it
Guys i am going to start playing harmonica!!! i am going to buy one but i dont know how much should i spent??? i need help !!!! S.O.S. i would appreciate it if you could HELP!!!
@xxeu4riaxx no1's feeling it or living it! If you have ever watched crossroads (1986) you'll understand what I say
Not sure they were referring to the mic haha
sounds like a electric guitar
hand held or racked up, there be a differance
@al3xb777
I wonder if his solo is double-tracked or something? But I know for sure anyone can blow at least two notes at once.
