Page 4 THE BATTALION TUESDAY, OCT. 28, 1975 Near capacity crowd hears Rodriguez concert fKiliNH By ERIC LINDQUIST Battalion Staff Reviewer An enthusiastic, near capacity crowd filled G. Rollie Coliseum Friday night to welcome the soft country sounds of Johnny Rod riquez. Warming the crowd for Rod riquez was the Austin-based swing band. Asleep at the Wheel, whose vocalists and feature instrumen talists breezed through a collection of tunes by Bob Wills, Hank Wil liams, and several original num bers. Even though the sound qual ity was not as good as it might have been and the band seemed quite uninspired at times, they received good audience response. Music City Band who played for 20 minutes by themselves without Johnny. This tight ensemble of ex cellent musicians apparently felt they had to prove to the audience that they were capable of playing music that was more complicated than what Rodriquez was paying them for. During their 20 minute set they played jazz. Top 40, country and blues, each establishing themselves individually as outstanding soloists. The highlight of their act was a ver sion of the “Orange Blossom Spe cial which featured a fiddle playing contortionist fiddling in more posi tions than is shown in a Swedish sex manual. Unfortunately their live perfor mance was not up to par with their recordings, except perhaps on “Choo Choo Ch Boogie .Then they seemed weak and amateurish when compared to Bob Wills and Com mander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen. Like the song says, “No matter who’s in Austin, Bob Wills is still the king.’ Accompanying Johnny was the Dressed in more modest clothing than his normal concert wear, Rod riquez strutted onstage and kicked into “Ramblin’ Man. Following were many of his radio hits, all greeted by hearty applause. The togetherness of the band and Rodriquez was definitely an asset as the songs flowed smoothly together mixed sparingly with the usual pro-Aggie remarks. At one time he seemed confused as to which of the Twin Cities he was in, saving face only by tossing in a line about Aggieland. Rodriguez’s voice was never re ally pushed to display his range or projection. Not even during “Johnny B. Goode/Roll Over Beethoven’’ did he put out with his voice. Only on the ballad “My Way did he seem to shake the air with his usually, emotional singing. He showed lack of prowess oil the guitar, asking the band what key a song was in. If his guitar had been out of tune he probably wouldn’t have known. (Equipment men don’t have anything better to do than tune guitars anyway.) After his last announced song in stead of leaving the stage, he stood there and bowed and acknowledged the band and went into his encore. When the encore was over he left with the band still playing even after the house lights went up. These acts of unprofessionalism marred an otherwise enjoyable show. It was by no means a spectacular event, but the two highly competent bands made for an evening well spent.
