Huey Lewis And The News - Hip To Be Square (Live, 1987)

[roller322]

thumbs if you got here from Brick-Force facebook page? lol..

[neposite]

Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercial and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humour!

[bechho]

@micfiends that is Dwigth Clarke from the San Francisco 49'ers - like the rest of them. see the blond guy - that is properly the best quarter back ever - Joe Montana

[brothertee1017]

@bechho Dwight Clark and Joe Montana actually sang in the recording of this song on the "Fore!" album.

[phawaii50fan]

This is the best song-in concert this was the sh*t!

[SuperIdelfonso]

nobody dislikes this...because they got a reservation at Dorsia!!

[CillBill91]

the Americans know how to music right!

[mustangpatty51]

These guys are the best...Saw them multiple times and they never put on a bad show. So high energy. You can tell they enjoyed performing. Huey playing that harp always got to me..He was hot to look at as well. :)

[JonnoXD]

this has got to be one of the best performances of all time! huey lewis and the news are legends! =D

[dharmaseed]

Wow, Mario does all that with a thumb plectrum....Doc's low notes add something to this performance...is that Lee Thornberg with the crazy pompadour playing trumpet?

[goodyearrex]

Hey Paul! ?

Whaaaaaaaatttt!!!!!!!!

(axe on face*)

It's hip to be square F*cking bastard!!!

[LewisFall]

Horn section member second from left. BEST...MULLET...EVER.

[stillanoldman]

@LewisFall That is the Tower Of Power Horns as they were in the 1980's. Greg Adams, Lee Thornburg, Doc Kupka, Richard Elliot, and Emilio Castillo

[foryourlove89]

Damn this is so kickass!!

[CornerStoneMusicFL]

this may have been the first year TOP horns played with them on the road and ever since Huey's had a horn section, I think...at least when I've seen them.

[ProDrummer30]

great great great !! forget that shit music today...... yeah party in my living room ..

[stevprescott]

Awsome vintage Huey. Hey does anybody know who his mate is that sings at the end? I cant quite hear Hueys intro . It sounds like roy clarke?

Just curious

[CornerStoneMusicFL]

@stevprescott Dwight Clarke from the World Champion SF 49ers. See Joe Montana on stage, too so think they're all 49ers---went on to win the Super Bowl (1988). Very cool stuff!

[stevprescott]

@CornerStoneMusicFL

It's been bugging me for a while now.

Cheers for that

Steve  I'm an Aussie, but even I know Joe Montana. I'll chech it out

[Harcix]

I think I heir undisputed masterpiece is

"HiP To Be Square," a song so catchy that most people probably

don't listen to the lyrics. But they should because it's not

just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of

trends. It's al~ a personal statement about the band itself.

[MrElfro89]

@Harcix is that a rain coat?

[nonespecial200]

@MrElfro89 Yes it is!

[sbdex11]

@Harcix thank you Patrick Bateman :)

Huey and the boys + SF 49ers = the epitome of the 80's, right there!!!

[MrTomasmoreno]

Please you upload "I Know What A Like" in concert

[RoyKidman3]

[daltz5]

A band in their prime. Nobody rocked it better live in the mid 80s than Huey and his crew. Outstanding performance this.
