Huey Lewis and the News

In late August 1987, Huey Lewis and the News were riding high on the success of their album "Fore!" released earlier that same month. This dynamic band had just produced iconic hits like "Jacob's Ladder" and, of course, the timeless classic "The Power of Love," which became a staple in pop culture through its feature in "Back to the Future." Their performance at Lansdowne Park during a BBC2 broadcast reflected not just their chart-topping status but also their energetic stage presence and connection with fans. While audiences clamored for their infectious sound, the live recording captured the essence of a band at the peak of their popularity, blending rock and pop in a way that felt both fresh and nostalgically familiar. Hence, this concert stands as a reminder of a pivotal moment in their career, showcasing a mix of new hits and beloved classics.
