Someone was asking about the Chicago/Huey Lewis tour. I went last night in
Raleigh and here is the Chicago set list:
Ballad for a Girl in Buchanan w/Huey Lewis on vocals for Colour My World
(Chicago spelling)
I'm A Man w/ Huey Lewis and the News including the News' brass section
Feel/horn version (first single from XXX...the single was horn-less)
Old Days
If You Leave Me Now
Beginnings
Just You and Me
Dialogue I & II
Love Will Come Back (new Cetera-style ballad from XXX...also last song from
XXX)
Saturday in the Park
Feelin' Stronger Every Day
Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?
Hard Habit to Break w/ extended brass outro
(encore)
Free (from Chicago III...complete with American flag backdrop)
25 of 6 to 4
that's it. Huey Lewis sounded like the best R&B cover band you've heard in
awhile. They covered JJ Jackson's But It's Alright, Major Lance's UUUUMMM
Song, Sam & Dave's I Thank You w/Bill Champlin on vocals. Huey also blasted
shows like American Idol saying it was really nice traveling and playing
with professional musicians who knew how to entertain an audience. He also
took a swipe at most reality shows.
All in all, a good show with a few surprises because of the pairing. Bonus
points to the venue for adding Terry Anderson and the Olympic Ass-Kickin'
Team on a side stage to play before the show and during intermission. They
were in fine form and sold some product to boot.
