Live at 25


Live at 25 is a live album by Huey Lewis and the News celebrating the 25-year anniversary since the band's formation in 1980. The performance was recorded in December 2004 at the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company in Chico, California. The album was released along with a separate DVD in 2005 by Rhino Records. This was the last album the band made with saxophonist Ron Stallings, who died in 2009.

Reception

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic says Live at 25 "is designed to be less a historical document than a nostalgic souvenir for longtime fans, capturing the group at a quarter-century mark." He believes "the song selection is good, the band sounds tight and professional, the production is clean and punchy, and while it's never especially engaging, it is an enjoyable performance."
