One example of a live version of a song sounding beter than the studio version!
Best sax solo in rock n roll history, period.
TheBoondoggler Stealy Dan has got some awfully tasty solos on FM and Deacon Blues, but damn these guys are kicking all kinds of ass in this song.
DAK454 Isn't that the truth ;)
Hell yea, for sure!!
night and day Tay Charles
No one can argue... Many years watching this vid, I still think about Marc Russo's solo on the Sax! Jesus...
I am very proud to say I am 19, living in a generation filled with people who are obsessed with rap music and come in the middle of it all, blasting this song on my car stereo!
now you’re 31!
Jeremiah you are now 32 i hope youredoing well and this is still a great tune!!!!
Thank God at least one of you in your generation has a clue!
Ditto I'm 18 now and it's the same now as it was for you
Bad rap music 😂 since there is no good hip hop since 10 years 😵💫
I will never get tired of the little "Damn!" Huey mouths to Johnny Colla after Marc Russo's solo. Love it!
When this came out in,85 (my grad year) I started feverishly working on the entire sax solo,from Johnny's 1st half,right in to marc's solo. Didn't stop until I could play the whole thing through. Fingers sore and lips bleeding at first. but I figured out all the fingerings, up to the hight G# in the outro.
Love the sax solos. Smooth handoff from Colla to Russo--like a 2-stage rocket, Colla's the booster and Russo takes it into orbit. Awsome.
Marc Russo's high notes are staggering. I remember the first time I heard this; almost ran my car off the road.
My favorite alto sax player! First heard him with the Yellowjackets.
He was unbelievable! I listen to this over and over and am blown away.
I just can't get enough of Marc Russo's alto sax! He really blows the crap out of his sax it's such a killer solo!! Great song as well!
Word! I have a friend who is an accomplished saxophonist who turned me on to the Yellowjackets after i showed him this. That's when i first learned about altissimos and how well Russo could play them!👏🤙
Yeah man, his notes are perfect 🤘
2:44 Wow! Marc Russo, not content with the high G, pushes that alto sax through the roof, hitting not just the B-flat above the high G, but even managing to squeek-out the B-natural ABOVE that!! Awsome!
Man, I remember hearing that alto solo the first time in utter disbelief. I knew it was the TOP horns so assumed it was Lenny Pickett. Who else could play with that much technique AND soul. I guess Mark Russo! Kudos to him.
2020 and still thinking this song is better than most music out now 👌👌👌
I was a drummer back in high school, circa 1982 or so. A friend, who was also was a drummer, was in this very popular local rock band--and they opened for these guys when they came through our area before really hitting it big. As it was a quick tear-down between opening act and the main show, I went along to help with the drums. We met all these guys, although the TOP horns were not there. This was a little "sports bar," back in the days before sports bars were a thing. But I don't think there were more than 200 or so people there...and they played this tune, among other hits. Blew. Us. Away.
We stood literally touching the stage on the side near the door, and the tightness and power of this band absolutely blew our heads clean off. It was amazing. As great as they were on stage though, they were even nicer guys offstage (back stage). We were literally all just standing around 10 feet outside the back door of the venue, shooting the shit. My friend and I were having a great conversation with (drummer) Bill, and up walks one Huey Lewis...to malign drummers of course. Just all-around regular guys--until they took the stage. One of the most enjoyable shows I've ever seen, and standing literally 6" away from the stage likely had something to do with that. Bill Gibson was playing these Sonor drums at the time, and neither my friend nor I had really ever seen them in person, as this was before the Internet was even a thing. This song really brings back memories.
Such a wonderfully structured song and it starts with Bill Gibson's swing pocket and less is more fills. Love his playing...but yeah, that sax solo: perfection.
mmm hmmm!!
The combination of Huey Lewis with Tower of Power was like the best rock music combination ever. They should have a reunion tour since both groups are still active and touring. I would go see that. Huey is Still a Young Man. Please email Huey and Emilio with this suggestion. I already have.
mitchdavis8308 I read they been wanting to tour together but their schedules have not allowed it but maybe this year's the year
Marc Russo still brings tears to my eyes- his shit is so soulful here!
+saxnova Greatest ever!
saxnova Definitely one of the sweetest rock sax solos on wax!
No love for Johnny Colla?
He was amazing!

This is them on top of their game!! What a band guys! Where do you see this anymore ...
.....On RUclips. Imagine what the rate of incarceration would be in this country if we were repeatedly forced to listen to the 'talent' corporate radio is feeding the masses these days?
Saw Huey Twice in My Life. The Best Show Period. Don't care for anyone ele Thank You Huey.!!! P.S Therefore, My RUclips Name !!!
Huey Lewis and the News "Rocks", and when they added the Tower of Power horn section it made it even better with all these musicians. Gotta love the music from that time. It was done with heart and soul.
This song sounds much more better than the studio version. Not to mention when it's live in San Francisco. BTW, great sax solo & greatest Huey song of all time. My jam!!!
By far the best recording of this song ever captured!
Saw these guys in '87 on the FORE tour. One of the best live acts ever. Played for a long time, several encores for the L.A. Forum crowd. Huey finally said, "Come on, I'm old and need to go to sleep!"
Huey, the drummer, everyone was stealing glances at Russo when he was blowing the lacquer off his horn! Damn!
I was fortunate enough to see Huey and the News with Tower of Power a few times in the 80'S. Now it boggles my mind how sweet that was.
Now that is a band that can play! Live, and as tight as a drum from the horns to the harmonies, damn I miss these guys.
Me too!
That is Marc Russo. Back in 1985...Tom Politzer is the current lead sax player and has been for about ten years....Steve Grove, Richard Elliot and Norbert Statchel have had their time as well as others......Marc Russo is the only alto player to ever be hired by TOP and I am glad he filled in for a while.....for this solo alone!!!!!Holy Shit!!!!
Just the best!! Marc Russo kills it on the sax solo. I remember hearing this on the We Are the World album back in the 80s and wore it out. Tower of Power rules the world!!! To answer their question...this is hip.
Dan Ratner He is incredible in that solo, no doubt. Haven't heard it in years, but wow! It's a good thing that Johnny C played his solo first. I mean, he's no slouch by any means--but how do you follow THAT?!?!
This band had so much talent.
This is the best performance of this song and it’s the kind of cohesiveness on stage that bands dream of; true synergy and real energy from everyone on that stage for this moment in time. This will go unmatched until the end of days; I wish I could’ve been there for it!
Pure gangster on the sax! Wow.........
This is not my favorite song of theirs, but it IS my #1 live rendition of any of their songs. When they released TIME FLIES, I am glad they included this version to represent the song.
Agree. The album version doesn’t cut it. Much better in this live version.
Yes, this live version of the song has since been included on both of Huey's compilation albums, but it was originally released back in 1985 on the USA For Africa charity benefit album "We Are The World." It was the ending track on that album. That was were I first heard it at:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/We_Are_the_World_(album)
ruclips.net/video/f94MRS3IC-I/видео.html
They really put it together with the two groups. I saw them during that era. Awesome!
I bought Hip to be square as a single in '86 and this was the b-side track. The sax playing from both of those guys, blew me away then and it still does. That's just simply some of the best live music of that era captured on film. There's a unique chemistry in play that is seldom witnessed live these days. The vocal capture from all the voices is brilliant too, those guys really knew how to listen to each other ❤
This is one of the best live bands on earth.
Huey had a great style and sound.He had class and showmanship.He still sells out today and puts on a great show..thanks for the memories your songs gave me, I loved the 80"s
I love listening to this. It's my second favorite Huey Lewis song.
I know you posted this 6 years ago, but I gotta know.. which is your favorite?
That would definitely be "If This is It".
@@GordonBazsaliJr You got a favorite?
I was grounded for getting bad grades in school. My walkman and cassettes were taken from me and I used to sneak into my stepmonsters (stepmom number 1, there were 5) bedroom and dip into her stash of my music and walkman and pop in the We Are the World album and listen to just this song. It gave me goosebumps, listening to the live audiences response.
One of the best Sax solos I've heard
you can feel the energy in this performance!!
HOLY FUCK
the sax is so badass dirty
Way too bad bro!
One of the all time great bands!!!
Absolute SICK sax in this song!
Best live Sax 80's style. What can you say about this song?? One of the best songs recorded in time. Happy, joyful and full of innocence! 80's no doubt one the most joyful times of my life back on Long Beach Island NY! Many do not know that there Brass support was the one and ONLY Tower Of Power!!!
My Favorite HL+TN Song. Of course I am bias as I grew up in Paradise, California. Which on Nov 8, 2018 experienced real trouble as the town was destroyed by wild fire. But still my favorite Huey song for sure. Paying that he will be able to make music once again and that his hearing problems will depart from him! Such good memories from my teenage years
One of those magical moments captured forever! I am so grateful to be able to experience this again!
Wow, what a great memory. Graduated from college when this came out , Huey Lewis was turning out hit after hit, album after album, just got my commission as a Second Lieutenant
Still one of my all time favorite Huey songs!! Never gets old!!!
Unforgettable voice of Hewey Lewis - great band - classic. This is the stuff that I grew up on.
The emotional feeling he gave to his performance on stage... oooh the 80´s! Best music ever. Huey Lewis unforgetable.
This song blows ! This is the best use of horns Ive ever heard ! Somehow a reminder tune just as good then as now !
these guys were so tight! I got to do concert security for them back around 1991. I met them before the show and they were really down to earth.
sweet feelings from the 80s. great time with great bands. Love it.
The most memorable thing from this song for me is the sax solos! Literally the best sax soloing I’ve ever heard! Wouldn’t have done it any different, love these guys
Awesome Horns on this song😎👍
This live performance is just sooo good. Unbelievably tight, and bloody hell, Marc Russo blows that sax another asshole!..
The 80's had some of the most talented musos who ever walked the planet. Fantastic stuff !!!
on of the most talented groups in the 80ties..no question
Whatever happened to Huey? Such optimistic music for an optimistic time! Come back!
I know I'm half a year late, but Huey and the News are back!
They released their latest album "Weather" this past February. It unfortunately has only 7 songs which were recorded prior to Huey's hearing loss.
Johnny Colla and Marc Russo are amazing - "HE'S BLOWIN' NUTS, MAN!!!"
Oh my the good old days....thank you Huey and gang!!
Tower of Power is always that tight. Watch them live if you can. They are amazing. Of course the news weren't bad at all.
If I didn't know any better, I'd think this performance is the one that was included on the USA for Africa LP We Are the World, at the end of Side 2, or at least very close.
Incidentally, Huey Lewis & the News are one of my boyhood musical influences. I was in nursery school when they were at their commercial height. Listening to their stuff was a lot of fun.
Huey Lewis and the News are back in the studio and out on the road again WOOHOO. I get to see them live for the first time on June 8 in Anderson, IN. I can't wait. I only wish the Tower of Power could be there as well but just seeing Huey with the News is awesome enough.
Best song ever it should've been a bigger hit!! Only got to 11 on the charts
Very talented rock band. No question about it
Damn right!
This is my favorite track off the "We Are the World" album, but I hadn't heard the song in years and I somehow had never seen the video before. Huey and the boys were definite at their peak back then. Thanks for sharing!
This is one of my favourite live performances from any band ever, Huey Lewis and the News totally rock!
Tower of Power, right? Saw Huey and Tower of Power open for a few bands at Winterland in Frisco, back in the day..... GREAT!!
the sax solo in this song was absolute talent...he took that thing to a whole other level...i dont even know what else to say about it...this song is on my greatest hits album and this was the first time i seen the video....im floored by it...listening to it is one thing, but seeing it in action....WOW!!!!
I saw this tour or the year after, at the Orange County (NY) Fairground/Speedway! Great show!
Jealous!
My 11 year old Grandson is taking sax and has been for about a year...I've shared these with him today hoping to encourage and inspire him to go for it all the way to the top. The Tower of Power are awesome and the other lone standing sax player is wonderful too. Fabulous band.
I had this on VHS back in the 80s played it everyday and danced all around how could you not LOVE HUEY??
OMGAAAAAAAAWD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Marc Russo!!!!!!!
Haven't heard this classic song in so long. Sax solo was totally sick!!! Tower Of Power was awesome with Huey & The News!!! Great concert from 85!!
Saw Huey and the boys last night at our Elkhart County fair along with about 8, 000 others!!!. New album later this year. These guys still put on a great show, have fun, and it was just a rockin'good time. For those of you who he's coming to, go see'em. Take your kids.
My favorite song by these guys.
No opening act when I saw them which is something I prefer anyways . They played for 2 hrs and 45 mins that evening !!! ... Not sure about the line-up for the TOP that night but I know "The Doctor" was on baritone sax ... he's impossible to mistake ... lol .. Regardless , the horns were AMAZING !!!
I saw them again about 3 years ago and Johnny Colla was sooooo much better !!! .. He was great then but he's a complete monster player now !!!
BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Bringing the A game to the gig! Such a cool tune.
This band, The Tubes, Jay Giles, and so many other big-guy-bands of the 80s sure helped to make that one great decade for rock music. What memories!
Kirk Pengilly from INXS is another great sax player, as was Clarence Clemons from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band. I love Huey Lewis and The News, INXS, and Bruce Springsteen, among others. They all have so many great songs.
For sure!
Believe it !!! .. I saw them on the Fore tour in 87 and it was a total mental melt down .. what you hear in this vid is what you got back then !!!
This song has such a great, theatrical sound to it, like it could be the credits song of a play. Also, DAMN, that sax solo! Hard to believe people these days think of "Epic Sax Guy" and not "Tower of Power."
This song is the balls. I was a major Huey Lewis fan in High School.
saw this line up 88-89, new years eve, Arco arena. I was like 17
Man I am JEALOUS.
Perhaps 3 go the best sax solos ever!
Gran voz la de Huey , pedazo de concierto :)
That is what music is missing now a days! The sound of a smooth Saxophone!
what a great tune!
Best version of this great song. I originally heard it years ago when I brought the album "U. S. A. for Africa" Remember "We are the World"? Anyway, this song was the last song. Great live performance I must say. I've been looking for it for years. Thanks for posting!
Huey Lewis is a great singer, great debut album, he's been very great since his days in Clover
Damn! How many bands sound better live than in the studio? No words for sax solo.
Amazing Sax solo
i had this on vinyl we are the world album .this was a high light for sure .huey is cool and tower of power amazing horns.love the guitar chris was under rated definitely. this and if this is it are my favourites .though i love sports album and power of love off fore .huey rocks!!
I thought that I was crazy but the crowd seems that don´t appreaciate that notes!!!
MAN THAT´S HEAVEN every time I listen this version, scream on the high notes..man!!!
AMAZING ..by the way thanks for the info...
Marc Russo! That man is a beast on the alto! What great altissimo!
TOP and Huey was a great marriage
Listening to in 2021- make that Never-ending Trouble...
As a fifteen year old, i have a lot of regrets in my life but growing up to ths sounds of huey louise and the news is not one of them
It is because as a 15 year old you do not have the context to appreciate HL+TN. But I would not expect you to and I can appreciate your view point concerning your dislike of Huey
@richardmarcotte3983 I'm saying I DON'T regret it bozo. It's great music. My parents grew up on this, I did too. It's awesome
what a great band!!! solos impressive!!! i want this song in my car tunes. =) Huey come on, come back!!!! we miss good 80s songs!!
I love Huey looking over at who I assume is Johnny Colla around 2:59….."DAMN!"
I miss the 80s
