Huey’s Power of Love By: Efren Martinez
Last night Huey Lewis and The News gave Modesto his Power of Love.
From the moment he came on, the crowd was as anxious to get up and dance as if they were all on their mark for a foot race. Soon as Huey gave the word to “let’s all dance”, the fans jumped out of their seats and never sat back down. It was lovely to see so many folks singing and dancing along to Huey Lewis and The News’ music. They were an energetic crowd having the time of their lives as Huey delivered many of his hits.
Growing up with the 80’s songs, like “If This Is It”, “I Want a New Drug” and “The Heart of Rock & Roll”, which not only filled the airwaves on our radio, but also the dance floor of the high school dances I DJ’ed back then. The night was filled with surprises and different sets from the last time I saw them in concert. At one point, the band left their instruments behind and approached the front of the stage to give us a harmonic acapella melody.
Without giving to much more away here, I’d like to invite you to enjoy your own Huey Lewis and The News experience. I realize that a ticket to a Huey Lewis and The News show is hard to get, especially when their shows sell out in record time like it did at our Gallo Center.
