The move caused some frustration for ticket holders because the move was not announced until the day of the concert. However, Comedian Bob Dubac from Aspen, Colo, opened the show on a lighter note. At the beginning of his act, Dubac announced that he was Pablo Cruise and everyone had been "ripped oft. The audience re sponded with the traditional Aggie hiss. “What’s the matter, are your faces leaking?” he asked. “How many of you have seen me on TV?” Dubac asked the audi ence later in his act. Several dozen people raised their hands. “Well, you must all be on drugs, because I’ve never been on TV,” he re plied. After 30 minutes of heckling, Dubac left the audience smiling and ready for the smooth Califor nia sound of Pablo Cruise. The band is on the road to promote its new album, "Reflec tors," and to introduce its two new musicians: Angelo Rossi, guitar and vocals; and John Pierce, bass guitar and vocals. The other mem bers of Pablo Cruise are original and “A Place in the Sun,” the band’s anthem. Review members: Cory Lerios, keyboards and vocals; Dave Jenkins, lead vocals and guitar; and Steve Price, drums. their song From the beginning of performance with the “Worlds Away,” there was no in dication that any of the band mem bers were new. The five musicians blended flawlessly both in their vocal harmonies and with their in struments. The band’s most impressive songs contained lengthy piano solos by Cory Lerios, who demon strated an energetic virtuosity on his white grand piano. Another of its best songs was “Zero to Sixty in Five,” a lengthy instrumental which gave each band member a chance to demonstrate his musical proficiency. While the band’s musicianship remained consistently good throughout the performance, the band had one annoying tendency. On their records most Pablo Cruise songs are four to six mi nutes long. But in concert the band stretched almost every song to over 12 minutes by filling in with redundant guitar solos. BUD WARD DID IT AGAIN HE MADE A MISTAKE... HIS MISTAKE IS YOUR GAIN!
