I'm a big fan of Huey Lewis and the News.
Has Huey Lewis and the News ever performed in CR or ever will in the future? Or have any of them been here just for tourism?

Huey Lewis and the News, WTF???

About the only big name rock concert that I know of in Costa Rica was the Amnesty International show with Bruce Springsteen, Peter Gabriel, Sting, Tracy Chapman, and Youssou N'dour. That was sometime in the fall of 1988 I believe. I was a huge money loser, but the promoter thought it was important to spread the message of peace in Central America where there were brutal wars going on in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala at the time. It is not profitable for American or European rock acts to air freight all their equipment to remote places like Central America where their will be little draw and low ticket prices. Therefore I’d have to believe that Huey has never performed down there.

As for whether or not he has ever made a mongering trip to San Jose, that’s anybody’s guess.

Sorry but this thread if funny .. But if they did play and I were in town I'd check it out.

Have a great day

This thread makes me want a new drug.(cyanide) Jethro Tull played at the Teatro Nacional last year, heard he was thick as a brick.
Hey Glduke go join the Huey fan club, Florida is a member. I guess this is just another post with nothing to say, sorry...

Sting played in Alajuela last month along with some bigger names. I'm pissed I didn't see it.

......Now , if the stones would only come there to sing.....she's so cold, cold, cold, like an ice cream cone, and I'm so hot, hot, hot, like a volcano!!

All I know is Tool better cancel the Philly show for May 18th and high tail it down to the Del Rey to put on a show. I can't believe I booked my innaguaral CR trip during the short tour. Tickets were selling for $1300 bucks on ebay the other day. Unbelievable!

Bare Naked Ladies play in my hotel room every chance and 60 bucks I get.

Yeah, 4 Non-Blondes gave me one hell of a performance one evening.

Having to listen to old rock n roll in all the bars, etc. in San Jose is bad enough... I can´t imagine going to see an aging ´Rock Star´ here.
I never could understand traveling so many miles to a foreign country to spend time looking for "just like home"... Get out of the gulch, eat some gallo pinto and plantains, listen to latin music, have a girl show you the dance steps to a merengue or cumbia (it´s simple), ride the buses into the country side, go watch the K*ds play futbol in the streets, practice your spanish with an elderly tico,.... it´s a big wide world, enjoy all of it.

Chi-
You're showing your age (youth) again... "bigger than Sting"?... I didn't even recognize the names of any of the other performers. FYI... I tried to talk you into going to that gig. (BTY - my gang is booked again at the SL for the week after Labor Day - care to join us?).

TimBones-
Regarding your Bare Naked Ladies playing in your hotel room post.... OK as long as you're not making "Another Postcard" with chimpanzee's!!! (You have to know the band to get the joke)
