Huey Lewis and the News- The Boys Are Back In Town Japan '89

Huey Lewis and the News live 12/31/89 playing the Thin Lizzy classic "The Boys Are Back In Town". This is a great version that has rarely been seen.

As most HLN fans know, my collection is pretty good thus it is time to share it on the net.

Enjoy!

Never in a million years did i think this song could be butchered like this. lame!!

This is a tribute as Huey played with Lizzy so you obviously don't have a clue.....

[LifesonFan4Life]

Bang on Kdrew ... you can hear Phil introducing Mr Lewis on Baby Drives Me Crazy off the Live and Dangerous album .. Clover was the opening act and Huey was in that band .. so your right he's paying homage to the great Thin Lizzy !!! .. glad someone else realizes that

[kdrew]

Thanks! You obviously have great taste in music. Any diehard HLN fan knows that they actually were a great rock band that had a much harder sound live.

I had the pleasure of seeing them as a $5 club band.....ahhh, those were the days! Happy holidays!

@kdrew "Huey played with Lizzy"? Huh? Certainly you don't mean that Huey played IN Thin Lizzy. You must mean that Huey's band and Thin Lizzy played a concert, or maybe a tour.

But Huey Lewis did not ever play IN Thin Lizzy.

@Mooseboy08 Huey played WITH Lizzy as seen on the credits of Live and Dangerous. Thanks for the note! Lizzy rocks

@Mooseboy08 Direct quote from Phil Lynott: "Right about this time... I'd like to introduce the band to you. On harmonica... HUEY LEWIS!" If that doesn't mean he played in Thin Lizzy then I don't know what does.

it dont matter i think huey rocks i from the 80's

As already answered by earlier posts, Phil Is Lynott, the late, great leader of This Lizzy. Huey went off and played harmonica with Thin Lizzy, while many of the rest of Clover went on to back up Elvis Costello on his immortal "My Aim Is True" debut album.

Some of Clover ended up in The News, and some became Doobie Brothers.

On the live Lizzy album, Phil announces the band and refers to Huey as "Bluesy Huey Lewis"

@DrWeirdPro excuse me but who is phil exactly? phil collins?

[MrBuc128]

Wow I totally forgot that they used to do a cover of this song.This is a really good cover. Screw those that say otherwise

The 2 boys who disliked this video got lost on their way back to town.

[WEINBAUER]

Wish they would put this on a compilation cd.
