Talented rock group plays at RHA weekend concert By PAI L Ml ELLER Dedicated rock music foxers at AfcM got their money’s worth at Town Hall s RH\ Weekend concert last Saturday night A disappoint ingly (hut understandably) small crowd stayed for the- concert, which featured two liands. Rahy and Jour ney. Babx, a band from Amarillo, opened the show They opened on time*, and that s about the only posit ive thing I can say aUiut them. Babx played forty-fixe minutes of oxer- arnplifiml and undertalented noise, attempting to substitute "showman ship and simulated enthusiasm for musical ability Especially obnoxi ous was the liass play er, who appar ently was as proud of his playing as he was of his torso. Both were much too evident After a short intermission. Jour ney came on stage* and made the evening worthwhile for those who afttayived the o|)ening act Journey is made up of four talented musicians: Cregg Rohe* (keylxiards and xocals) and Neal Schon (guitar). Ixith from Santana. Ross Valors (liass), from The Stexe Miller Band; ami Aynslex Dnnliar (drums), from Duxid Bow ie's hand They opened their set with “I’m Gonna Leave You from their recently released second album. Look Into The Future. Schon’s guitar was liarely audible at first, but this trouble was soon straightened out, and the kind settled down to play ing xigorous rock n roll The conceit consisted mainly of songs taken from laiok Into The F'u- ture. a collection of dix erse material mostly xvritten by Schon and Rolie. Versatility is only one of Journey s strong |M»ints, and it swell illustrated by the* songs the* hand play ed Satur day night They encompassed a whole spectrum of musical sty les, from the smooth jazz flavor of Any wayto the blues influence evident in "I'm (amna lease You, to the* Santana-like sound of Midnight Dreamer, to the all-out hard rock of “On A Saturday Night TIk* members of the band demon strated skill ami professionalism to match the quality of tlieir songs \ al- ory’s solid bass and Dunbar s energetic drumming combined to form a tight rhy thm section behind Schon’s flashy guitar and Rolie s smooth keyboard work. Schon and Rolie often traded licks on their re spective instruments, in a nice* varia tion on the usual two-guitar format Journey is a guitar-oriented band, and Neal Schon had no trouble iix ing up to his reputation as a hot new guitarist. His play ing Saturday night included everything from slow, con trolled blues lines to electrifying high-s|N*ed nflx. ami a whole lot in l*etw«*en "The kind left the stage after play ing eight songs, amid a standing oxa- tion (one* of sexeral tliex reeeixed (hiring the show). They, returned a few minutes later to do a high- powered rendition of It s All Too Much and then an instrumental finale with a quiet, sulKiued ending. This double encore bad the audience standing on their chairs and scream ing for more Tliex didn t get it, but they went home happy with what they had seen. One final note — if you liked the concert, you'll probably like Jour ney’s album l/ook Into The Future, from which most of the concert ma terial was taken, 'flu* band s energy comes across almost as well on rec ord as it does on stage. After Saturday night’s concert. Journey had some interesting things to sax akmt music in general, akuit their own music in particular, and even about Texas A& M Gregg Rolie ^und Ross Valory were the most vocal Of the musicians, while Neal Schon and Ay nslex Dunbar were more subdued. Rolie compared the drummer's exertions during the course of a ty pical concert to running a five-mile sprint. Dunbar exen has a wheelchair to use when he’s really worn out. Asked about the musicians who have influenced Journey’s music, Rolie listed several, including Jinii Hendrix, the Beatles, and the Mahavishnu Orchestra. Schon named Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Jeff Beck, among others, as some of his faxonte guitarists. The hand objected to the use of the term "acid rock to 'describe Journey s music. I think it’s a new music.’” said Walter (Herbie) Herbert, the group’s manager. I think maybe the Ix-st name was the name that Tom Vickers of Rolling Stone Magazine gave the music. He called it 'heavy space Herbie called San Fran cisco, where the hand originated, a "cultural Mecca’* lor new types of music "that defy labeling.

Journey s members didn t seem to mind the lact that only a lexx thousand people turned out to see them play According to Boss Val ors, the actual size of the audience is not as im|x>rtant as the xxax people react to the music. The band seemed impressed with the enthusiasm showed by the Aggies. “That’s probably one of the biggest entertaining factors tl have, Holie commented about crowd reaction. "We enjoy ourselves and people enjoy it. The band sounded optimistic akmt the way nx-k music is headed. "1 think it s getting away from a lot of trash,” said Rolie. referring to the musical confusion of sexeral years ago. "I think people are starting to listen again." Valory noted that nx k has become more sophisticated; It s getting to lx* a lot more than two chords."
