Miller Lite’s ‘Big Party’ taps
The Who in Houston, Dallas
By John Righter and
Chuck Squatriglia
Of The Battalion Staff
So it seems Randy Quaid finally is
going to stop “getting back to us
soon with more details” and start
partying. 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

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.
