The Brazos Valley Symphony Orches-
'tra proved it has the potential to become
1 world-class performing ensemble in an
Bdmirable performance at Texas A&M
fffriday night.
I The concert, titled “The French
■"ouch,” showcased the group in its fin-
nts
le
Review
ist form. Guest pianist Jacques Lagarde,
a popular French musician and music in
structor, said he was very impressed with
the orchestra.
“They are very good; they enjoy play
ing music,” Lagarde said. “I think in a
few years they will be an excellent or-
hestra.”
If the group continues to play with the
professionalism exhibited in Friday’s
performance, the musical superiority he
spoke of may come even sooner.
Under the baton of guest conductor
Laurent Petitgirard, a prolific French
composer and music teacher, the orches
tra breezed through a program of works
which would be considered difficult by
any orchestra’s standards.
The evening began with Jean-Philippe
Rameau’s Les Indies Galantes Airs de
Ballet, Suite No. 1. The orchestra had a
couple of minor problems in the begin
ning of the piece, but recovered quickly
and handled the remainder of the compo
sition well. The group’s tone, on this
piece and the others, was warm and reso
nant.
The ensemble’s talents were best dis
played when it accompanied Lagarde on
the next selection, Concerto for Piano
and Orchestra No. 20, in D minor, K 466
by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The
group’s dynamics and technique were
superb behind Lagarde’s brilliant style of

It seems only fitting that the members
of U2 are in a movie about themselves.
ijMost of the great rock bands of the past
Review
lave done the same, from the Beatles’
lilarious “A Hard Day’s Night,” to Led
ippelin’s muddled, boring “The Song
temains the Same.”
For U2, arguably the band of the ’80s,
“Rattle and Hum” is their second film,
jhe first being the concert film “Live at
led Rocks (Under a Blood Red Sky),”
rhich was filmed during the band’s
j“War” tour several years ago.
Although “Rattle and Hum” contains a
great deal of live footage, the movie is
rot a concert film. It is a documentary
combining live footage, interviews, and
ither interesting tidbits, such as the
land’s recording sessions at Sun Studios
in Memphis, Tenn., and their visit to El
ds Presley’s Graceland mansion.
The group’s live performances are
captured well on film. Most of the se
quences are in black and white and show
|the band performing for huge crowds in
San Francisco, Denver and Fort Worth.
From its version of the Beatles’
“Belter Skelter” to its own “Pride (In the
lame of Love),” the sequences from the
land’s tour are well-done and capture a
live performance better than many con
cert films from the past have.
Portions of a concert at Sun Devil Sta
dium in Tempe, Ariz. are in color, but
they are not as interesting as the remain
der of the film.
There are also some interesting clips
of interviews, rehearsals and recording
sessions. U2’s guitarist, the Edge, ex
plains that the band’s “I Still Haven’t
Found What I’m Looking For” is a gos
pel song. That clip is followed by a film
of the band in a Harlem church rehears
ing a version of the hit song with gospel
group the New Voices of Freedom. A
live version of the song was recorded
during a concert in New York and is on
the “Rattle and Hum” album.
The Sun Studios sessions are interest
ing as well. First, the band is seen re
cording “Angel of Harlem,” a jazzy sa
lute to Billie Holliday. Later, there are
clips of them working with bluesman
B.B. King on the song “When Love
Comes to Town.” Here, director/editor
Phil Joanou cuts from studio rehearsals
of the song, to the band rehearsing it on a
Fort Worth stage before their concert
there, and finally to the concert itself
where King’s band and U2 perform it to
gether.
One thing that sets “Rattle and Hum”
apart from other rock documentaries is
the reminder that it is a movie. Through
out the film, we see camera crews
filming the band’s concerts and other
moments. The presence of cameras is
felt throughout the film.
“Rattle and Hum” is a good movie,
but not a great movie. If you are a U2
fan, however, it is a must-see.

AUSTIN (AP) — With the election on
the horizon and the legislative session
I still more than two months away, state
1 lawmakers already have begun staking
gout their political ground on the subject
of taxes and spending.
At the most recent Legislative Budget
Board meeting, the conflicting philoso
phies over the state budget began to clash
as lawmakers started preparing ammuni
tion for the session that begins in Jan
uary.
Given a mountain of statistics from the
LBB staff, legislators crunched the num
bers to their advantage.
To state Rep. Stan Schlueter, D-Kill-
een, it was significant that Texans have
fallen in recent years in personal income.
Schlueter complained the news media
often depicts Texas as a low-tax state but
fails to mention the state ranks 32nd in
the nation in personal income.
“It’s unfair to taxpayers to say how
low we spend,” he said. “Would you
agree that you don’t raise income by rais
ing taxes.’’
Democratic Ft. Gov. Bill Hobby,
said, “Texas is a low-tax state and a
low-service state. Always has been.’’
In 1970, Texans’ per capita income
was 89.6 percent of the national average,
according to the LBB staff report.Last
year Texans earned 89.7 percent of the
national average.
playing. His fingers danced across the
keyboard with ease and clarity.
Audience members were not the only
ones impressed by Lagarde’s perfor
mance. Susan Astroff, concertmaster
and principal violinist for the orchestra,
also said she enjoyed it.
“He played Mozart like it is supposed
to be played,” she said.
The Mozart concerto is one of La
garde’s favorite pieces of music.
“I like the concerto because it is dram
atic,” Lagarde said. “Mozart’s use of
major and minor keys gives the music
grandness and joy, but at the same time
makes it appear sad.”
Following the intermission, the or
chestra performed Franz Schubert’s “Un
finished Symphony” with power and
passion. Petitgirard led the ensemble
through the symphony’s two movements
with flair.
The concert ended with L’Aprenti sor-
cier, “The Sorcer’s Apprentice,” by Paul
Dukas. The composition, which served
as the basis for a section of Disney’s
“Fantasia,” came to life in the hands of
the musicians. The piece’s familiar mu
sical tale of a bungled attempt at magic
by an apprentice sorcerer was a charming
end to the evening.
The Brazos Valley Orchestra’s next
concert will honor distinguished A&M
professors. It will be held in Rudder Au
ditorium on Dec. 6. The public is en
couraged to attend.
Police cancel
Nelson snub
after apology
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — San Antonio
police have canceled a boycott of a Wil
lie Nelson concert after the country-
western singer formally apologized for
staging a benefit that raised funds for a
man later convicted of killing two FBI
agents.
Sgt. Harold Flammia, president of the
San Antonio Police Officers Association
two weeks ago asked officers not to work
as security officials at the concert Thurs
day because Nelson sang at a California
benefit for Leonard Peltier, an American
Indian convicted of killing two FBI
agents 13 years ago. The proceeds pf the
concert went toward Peltier’s legal de
fense.
Nelson again issued an apology Friday
night from his home in Austin.
“I accept that apology and if he in
deed does not support cop killers, then
the matter is closed,’’ Flammia said Sat
urday. “If any police officer wants to
work security, I will have no problems
with that. I’ll let their conscience be their
guide.”
“I deeply regret that so many police
officers and police organizations were
offended by the Indian concert, Nelson
told the San Antonio Express-News. “In
the future, I will certainly consider all as
pects of any benefit concert so as not to
offend anyone. I have nothing but re
spect for all lawmen and under no cir
cumstances do I support cop killers.”
Earlier this year, Nelson had met with
the American Federation of Police Offi
cers and the Fraternal Order of the Police
and issued a blanket apology for the con
cert.
But Flammia said Nelson never spe
cifically apologized in his home state of
Texas, explaining the state’s umbrella
police organization, Combined Law En
forcement Associations of Texas, is not
affiliated with the other groups.
“That (apology) was to other parts of
the country,” Flammia said. “Willie Nel
son is from Texas and he should have
made it a point to get the apology out ev
erywhere through the media,”
Flammia said he will not attend the
concert.
