Huey Lewis And The News - Live Performance of 'Hip To Be Square'
In August 1987, Huey Lewis and the News were riding high on the success of their album 'Fore!' which had been released earlier that same year. The band was at a pivotal moment in their career, having carved out their niche in rock and pop with hits like 'The Power of Love' and 'Stuck With You.' The live recording of 'Hip To Be Square' during their performance at the Grandstand at Lansdowne Park in Ottawa showcases their energetic stage presence and popularity at the time. Fun fact: the upbeat anthem, 'Hip To Be Square,' quickly became synonymous with 1980s culture, often featured in movies and television. It’s interesting to note how their music embodies the spirit of that decade, making their live performances not just concerts, but a nostalgic trip back in time for fans.
