He sounds like he's doing the J. Geils Band's "Whammer Jammer" riff on it (the opening riffs).

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

Phil Lynott the high priest of the most brilliant rocking music, the wordsmith, the rocker, the poet, the band leader, the singer-songwriter, the man about town, any town the storyteller the hardman with a gentle heart of Gold as good as God above

[@326vince]

Ode to a Black Man [written by Phil Lynott].
I love it. Phil - your fantastic music will live on.
You are a political 'foot ball'. Tell you what ... Phil Lynott is a song writing/performer icon.

[@dougsmith7083]

Awesome Version of "Ode To A Black Man" with Huey Lewis on Harmonica and of course, the one and only, Mr. Phil Lynott on Bass Guitar. This is a great collaboration of seeing both Huey Lewis and Phil Lynott playing the song together. That is so awesome. Cheers!!!!

[@mbogucci1]

Forgot about Billy Bremner, I see.

[@itsyaboi8310]

Holy fucking shit I LOVE the Old Grey Whistle Test! Wtf is all this!?

[@grahamgray2421]

Phil Lynott was a genius,Huey Lewis respected him

[@austenj4539]

Trail blazer and with Huey Lewis kicking ass and right behind .'ya'.
It is now May 2023 - beautiful to hear.

[@rob83ful]

Huey Lewis playing harmonica!! Huey recorded many songs wrote by Phil!! They were very friends!!

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

I still envision Phil doing a cover of "Workin' for a Livin'" with Huey on harmonica and backing vocals. I wonder if they got to doing that before Phil died in 1986?

[@careful...Icarus]

@@ClassicTVMan1981X Oh man You're onto something there. I can hear it achingly clear in my head now.

[@austenj4539]

We can now ....creep ...Phil Lynott ... towards musical recognition.
Getting there. Phil.

[@wildeyedboy]

Does anyone know if this was the day those iconic photos of Phil in this outfit were taken?

[@brianmcd9492]

Brilliant another classic by Phil lynott,is that hue Lewis and the news on harmonica 🤘

[@saintbeavis]

You'd have Phil and Brian in your band in a nanosecond.... So cool. Will ferrell on harmonica does a reasonable job

[@sylviafoster9093]

'Huey baby'

[@jkbarber62]

Billy Bremner on guitar? Hope so.

[@ludurigan]

[@blazak]

Remember when Huey Lewis was cool?

[@krisscanlon4051]

[@mrethannice]

Remember when Huey Lewis?

[@ClassicRock1973]

he was never cool.

[@87dramarama]

no

[@christosstamato527]

He was always cool lmao!

[@bigeherb]

checkout that freddy krueger sweater :) did huey lewis dodge the draft?

[@thefonzkiss]

It’s UK’s Denis the Menace from Beano magazine. USA had a completely different Denis the Menace character. Freddy Krueger didn’t exist when this was filmed.

[@ColtraneTaylor]

Damn, that harmonica player became bigger than Lizzy ever was.

[@patrickcummins1933]

No he didn't

[@ColtraneTaylor]

@@patrickcummins1933 Thin Lizzy is a huge rock band in the UK and Europe. Huey Lewis was a household name across the western world and beyond.

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

The two had been best friends since Huey's days in Clover, when they initially opened for Thin Lizzy one day in 1976.

[@mklotz1426]

Looks like Billy Bremner in there. Is that Terry Williams on drums?

[@grumberfwarcraft7282]

Brian downey.

[@mklotz1426]

@@grumberfwarcraft7282 I checked it and it is Billy Bremner.

[@careful...Icarus]

Its Brian Downey without doubt.

[@jhall2281]

Wait a second, Huey Lewis was cool?

[@ClassicTVMan1981X]

Yes, he was. But sadly, these days, due to Meniere's disease, he can no longer tour since the disease caused his hearing loss.

[@alanfletcher9698]

Theres Phils Band. Why Grandslam

[@luisgonzagarodriguez7662]

Lew Lewis ?

[@rickybrowne937]

Savage Harmonica playing from the cocaine eyed Huey Lewis.🤪

[@FredericARLANDIS]

Une rareté? 🙄

[@rickygallagher1677]

Terrible sound on the vocals.
