Huey Lewis and the News

During the summer of 1987, Huey Lewis and the News were riding high on the success of their album 'Fore!', which had been released earlier that same year. This album included the hit single 'Jacob's Ladder,' and by this time, the band had solidified their reputation as a major force in the rock scene thanks to their infectious sound and charismatic performances. The concert featured in this live recording, captured at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa, showcases their signature blend of rock and pop, delivered with high energy that fans have come to love. Interestingly, the band was also at the peak of their mainstream popularity during this era, thanks in part to their appearances in films like 'Back to the Future.' This live performance, broadcast by BBC2, is a perfect example of how they captivated audiences with both their music and stage presence.
