comments:
recorded live in Portland, it's the Huey Lewis Big Band.
(about twice the size of the "sports" tour group lineup.)
track 12 here is not to be confused with the 1973 Genesis song.
the title is the same, but it's an entirely different song.
"the power of love" and "back in time" were previously heard in the
soundtrack of the movie "back to the future".
just how hip is it to be square, really? Not very, according to
Huey, apparently, at this time. He seemed almost embarassed about
that being the current standard of hip in their native S.F. area.
this tour is poppier than the "sports" music. highlights of this
(imho) include Jacob's ladder, I never walk alone, the power of love
and back in time. just a few nights before Christmas and all through
the house, Huey Lewis was stirring up and scaring away all the mice
with audio newspaper. If you celebrate Christmas, or Chanukah, or
something similar this time of the year, and this is it, merry Chanukah,
Happy Christmas or whatever else applies to you, and if you're stuck with
someone, or just want a new drug, well... have some Huey.
But be forewarned, sometimes bad is bad. not always, though.
