Well, it’s about time. Enough of the details already, where’s the beer? We already know who (chuckle, chuckle) will be playing. For the lis tening pleasure of all you thirsty Texans (and for $25), Randy and Miller Lite have brought in The Who, along with Stevie Ray Vaughn and Double Trouble, and The Fab ulous Thunderbirds. The concerts, Saturday, Sept. 2 at the Astrodome in Houston, and Sunday, Sept. 3 at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, will run from 6 to 11:30 p.m., with The Who playing for two and a half hours at each concert. After four months on the road, The Who will close their 25th anni versary tour this weekend with the dual performances in Houston and Dallas. The concerts will include material spanning The Who’s entire career as well as material from the member’s various solo projects, including gui tarist Peter Townshend’s forthcom ing album The Iron Man. A touring band, including drum mer Simon Phillips, keyboardist John “Rabbit” Bundrick and Steve Bolton will be joining Townshend, bassist John Entwhistle and vocalist Roger Daltrey. Phillips has worked with Townshend in the past, most notably on Townshend’s Empty Glass LP, and has also worked with Mick Jagger. Bundrick has toured with the Who for the past ten years, and Bolton is best known for his gui tar work with singer Paul Young. For those of you not interested in seeing The Who, or unable to shell out 25 bucks, Stevie Ray and The Fabulous Thunderbirds also will perform on outdoor stages behind the Dome along with Jerry Jeff Walker, The O-Jays, Asleep at the Wheel, La Mafia, Natalie Cole, Joe Ely and others. This is all part of Houston’s free festival that will run from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., and will in clude pro beach volleyball, pro wres tling, sky divers, games, rood and beverage booths and a Dome Party Run. Similar arrangements are be ing made in Dallas. Since this is the “Biggest Party in History,” Miller Lite is making sure that all of Texas is invited. On Sept. 2 the party also will include Corpus Christi, Midland/Odessa and San Antonio, where George Strait, Hall and Oates, Huey Lewis and the News, and Cheap Trick will per form. On Sept. 3 the party will move to rhe Harlineen area, where Georee Coors Light comedy team takes stage in Rudder before By Chuck Lovejoy Of The Battalion Staff With the ESC game, this first weekend of the 1989-90 school year probably won’t need any extra excit ement, but MSC Town Hall has pro vided it anyway by hosting the re turn of the Coors Light Comedy Commandos at 8 p.m. Friday in Rudder Auditorium. A&M students should have espe cially vivid memories of the touring comedy task force, because, accord ing to a press release from the Adolph Coors Company, “Texas A&M has provided the biggest crowd of all college tour stops since the Comandos’ introduction in 1987.” David Naster Naster is reputed as having one of the most unusual comedy snows in the business with his wacky combina tion of comedy, percussion and nu merous characters. The Comedy Commandos is a touring team of eight comedians cre ated by comedian Tim Settimi, who is a Commando himself. Although only two comedians perform per show, the results are nevertheless side-splitting. Visiting A&M this year will be Commando comedians David Naster and Taylor Mason. In addition. Chuck Redden, pro gram director of KKYS-FM and host of the station’s morning “Chuck Redden Show,” will be master of cer emonies for the event. He has toured colleges and uni versities across the United States and has become in four years, to quote Variety magazine, “the most sought after performer on college campuses today.” Naster also has appeared on USA Cable’s “Night Flight” and two spe cials for HBO, “Circus Vegas” and “World Burlesque.” He has per formed with a diverse number of performers, including George See Commando/Page 9 They're FuN / They're -hot./ ~TTi<sy ,re whcx'H EVERYBODY’S ^ king Aboo'f I (YV\ o+be\r wordiS C\ lo-h )l k-€. m-e.)

Sorrv. Fes alumni perform oil new songs in Houston By Todd Stone Of The Battalion Staff Rock music was taken to a higher level of arrangement and performance Monday night when Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman and Howe performed live at the Summit in Houston. ABWH are all former mem bers of the British rock group Yes. They would be performing by that name, but bass player Chris Squire has the legal rights to the Yes tradename and belongs to a Yes group of his own. The ABWH performance was still titled “An Evening of Yes . . . Plus” and that is exactly what it was. A two hour show of classic Yes songs performed by the most g opular names of former Yes ands. ABWH are regarded as pre mier players of their respective instruments: Anderson, vocals; Bruford, percussion; Wakeman, keyboards; and Howe, guitar. The show began with Jon An derson singing a medley of “Time and a Word” and “Owner of a Lonely Heart” with only hired hand Milton MacDonald accom- paning on acoustic guitar. Ander son then gave way to Steve Howe who performed his classic instru mental songs “The Clap” and the melodic “Mood for a Day” on acoustic guitar. Rick Wakeman and Bill Bru ford also performed captivating solos before the entire band played together on “Long Dis tance Run Around.” Also on stage was bass play I Tony Levin, who once mu member of King Crimson m) Bill Bruford. Levin skillfullyb died the difficult task of recrtu mg Chris Squire’s unique, trtHf bass sound on the Yessongs.Du ing “Heart of the Sunrise,"it vin’s bass playingthunderediiil perfect spiced jihcl timing, Colbeck played keyboards in sup port of the classically trainedRiti Wakeman. Wakeman was encircled o) stage by a variety of keyboard and he used them all withoiptlit aid of pre-programming. Hisi; tense Hammond organ solo dm ing “Roundabout” was a crow! pleaser. Most of the songs performol averaged seven to 12 minutes ami were played with remarkable® ilarity to the studio effort. Man' of the songs had distincti'i movements that make a live pen formance of these works an i- pressive accomplishment. Steve Howe had to switch tars ten times, often inpheraii of a song. He deftly played n dolin during the first movemeni of “I’ve Seen All Good Pe entitled “Your Move.” Intheset- ond movement, “All Good Pec pie,” he fired up the audientt with an animated guitar solo. Besides Yes songs, ABWHab performed the upbeat “Brotiiff of Mine” and the cosmic “f of the Universe” from their if cently released debut a Both songs blended vs'ell with tit Yes songs.
