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.

(FORMERLY “THE PENTHOUSE CLUB ”)
Unlike some performers in the
past. 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."
Asked if he had formed any im
pressions akmt A6c M, Rolie replied,
“Yeah, I’xe got one great one. It s
go<xl to'play for x all. with emphasis
on the “v ail."
