    Summary:
    Between 1982 and 1988, few bands worked harder than Huey Lewis Lewis and The News. Although the group was made up of seasoned vets, it wasn't until the breakout success of "Do You Believe In Love," a song from their second album, that they began receiving attention outside their home base of San Francisco. Over the coarse of the next six years, the group would perfect their blend of good time rock & roll music, infused with the soul and doo-wop influences of their youth. They would score big with three consecutive platinum albums and an impressive list of hit singles, including three number ones on the Billboard charts. Relentless touring and high rotation exposure on MTV would eventually pay off and the group would become a national headlining act capable of filling the biggest arenas in America.
    In 1989 the group finally took some well-deserved time off from their touring and recording schedules with one notable exception. In May of 1989, Bill Graham presented a series of benefit concerts in multiple venues to raise awareness about AIDS and fund research and care for those afflicted in the Bay Area. Huey Lewis and The News took part in this "In Concert Against AIDS" series with a memorable one-off club performance at Slim's in San Francisco, which would not only be their first gig in over four months, but their first club gig in years.
    Presented in its entirety, here is that performance. Surrounded by family, friends and a hometown audience, this intimate club gig has it all, including the group's biggest hits and a choice selection of covers. At one point, American Pro Bowl wide receiver for the San Francisco 49ers, Dwight Clark, joins the group onstage, lending his voice to the doo-wop classic "Working In A Cold Mine." Mark Russo, renowned for his saxophone work with Tower Of Power and The Yellowjackets, also joins in on the final half hour of this remarkable performance.

    Incredible rhythmic unison while the tenor sax guy is singing octaves to Huey's syncopated and back phrased vocal melody. That's some detailed arranging and most importantly, some good practice! These guys are just plain old good, practiced musicians who have worked hard to make it all sound so casual.
    Thanks Huey and the boys for all your great vox harmonies.

      You do realize that he grew up training as a classical guitarist and hated guitars being played on rock songs, don't you? I can't remember the epiphany he had that brought him over "to the dark side" but in my books, he's extremely capable playing down, as it were, to playing rock guitar.

      He said in interviews available on UA-cam that a manager advised him to adopt that persona on-stage after seeing him behave like that off-stage. Considering that he got kicked out of the band I wonder if he took it too far.
      He mentioned that he played with the band again in 2008 but was asked to drop the Mario "character" or not come back.

      Marc and I grew up in the east bay are during the early 70's and went to rival high schools. We played in show orchestras at the old Civic Arts Theatre in Walnut Creek around '73. He was a wild, crazy guy but a really good player and cool cat. I used to call him "Caveman Marc". Later he toured with Kenny Loggins after TOP and The Jackets. Haven't talked to him since around '87. Hope he is still doing ok.

    Why are they not on regular rotation on classic radio? Such a great band.

    Sports was probably the most played album of mine in the 80s. Such a great album!
