[nosmoke]

[JustinWomackMusic]

@nosmoke Yes. Yes it was.

[JustinWomackMusic]

@nosmoke Although he was only filling in. The regular guitarist was Hiram Law Bullock

[kellynkarr]

THAT WAS AWESOME

[ConspiracyGuy1]

I sure do miss being a teenager in the 80's. Great music everywhere.

[pv2lima]

[yesterway]

Arsenio Hall on drums!!

[top20modernrock]

@yesterway lol

[cameltooth1]

Steve Jordan on drums and Paul Schaefer, keys.

[kellynkarr]

@cameltooth1 IS that Steve for real?!?!?!

[cameltooth1]

@kellynkarr It does look like him. Yeah i think it is.

[kellynkarr]

@cameltooth1 I did a little research.... Steve Jordan was the drummer in David Letterman's "world's most dangerous" house band. What a badass

[Johnlindsey289]

Been into Huey Lewis's music since i was 4

[top20modernrock]

@Johnlindsey289 I've been into Huey Lewis & tge News since Picture This. Fore is a great record too.

[Johnlindsey289]

@top20modernrock

Do you also like Hip to be Square, if this is it and Once Upon a Time in New York City as well? i grew up in the 80's and early 90's as a kid and mid-late 90's as a teenager and those were the 2 best times to grow up as a kid and teen.

[Johnlindsey289]

@top20modernrock

So your 83 born right? and do you like those Huey Lewis songs i mentioned as well? those are my faves too.

[Johnlindsey289]

@top20modernrock

Power of Love is my number one and i also like Heart of Rock and Roll.

[lehighmark]

turn down the volume on Paul a bit

[HHubers]

Didn't know Steve Jordan was already active as a drummer back in '84. Good job!

[xpxzampop]

that guitar is tight lol. oh and the song obviously

[zilkerpark]

I've been checking youtube every couple months for this exact clip and finally!! it us here!! I love youtube!! This version of Heart of Rock and Roll on Letterman with the original "World's Most Dangerous Band" which at that time included Steve Jordan on drums. THANK YOU for uploading this!!!

[jeffbeck70]

The drummer @ 3'30 ! hahaha !! I love him !

[fabmic]

To watch Dave and Huey so young gives me a weird feeling... Huey Lewis & the News used to be my favourite group...!

[LaterHolmes]

The Heart of Rock and Roll is in Cleveland?

[thatbastardson]

YAY!

[surfocaster]

Awesome! What a great era this was for Letterman and the World's Most Dangerous Band! Thanks for this!

[brothertee1017]

@surfocaster This is when Letterman's was fun to watch. It was more "underground" looking. Great memories.

[ElwooodJones]

If I remember correctly this was to promote the madison square garden show ( explaining huey) and Johnny's solo career which never took off..

[burty199]

What, no Bill, Mario, Sean, Chris or me? Sounds cool though.  Love the cheesy keyboards.

[kolst8406]

I watched this at the time, and remember Paul Schafer made a sarcastic remark about the fact Lewis didn't bring his band to play with him. It would have been earlier in the show.

[MegaObserver1]

@kolst8406 Dunno why Paul would have said that. 6A in Rockefeller Plaza was a tiny studio. They couldn't have had The News playing without seeing the house band, and that would have been awkward.  The Ed Sullivan theater is huge in comparison, so today, full rock bands can perform with Paul's band out of camera range. But when Dave was at NBC, his studio was a closet in comparison.

[kolst8406]

@MegaObserver1 I could be wrong, of course, but that's the unmistakable impression I was left with. I wish someone would post the entire show.

[daltz5]

Only Johnny is here with Huey. Where's the rest of the news?
