McGuinn and the Byrds
at Wilkes
"more than alright"
SPECIAL TO THE COLLEGIAN
by Eric Wendler
University of Delaware'
Roger McGuinn-12-string
Clarence White-guitar,
mandolin, 12 string Gene
Parsons-drums, banjo,
harmonica Skip Batten-bass. As
at the University of Delaware,
the Byrds opened with Lover
of the Bayou. Really enjoyed
the volume and power of that
song to open the concert. They
played most of the "Untitled"
album and the traditional
Byrds music. A 5-song acoustic
set in the middle was a high
point, leading that off with
Tambouring Man. Gene
Parsons, the drummer, did
some fine banjo work here. At
the American University Byrds
concert, some weeks before
Wilkes, Skip Batten loudly
remarked "If I play Eight Miles
High one more time, I'll did,"
giving somebody in the
audience a cue to say that it
would be played at his funeral.
The loss of interest in this song
was shown by the extended
lam that led into one verse and

the finish of Eight Miles High
at Wilkes.
The greatest time at
the concert for me and some
others was Chestnut Mare,
which comes off better live
than in the studio. Not many
songs can really make me feel
elated and sort of put a chill
down my sping, but that did.
Or coAnyone that has not seen
Roger McGuinn for a while
would probably be surprised.
Somehow, one expects a pretty
mod young kid with granny
glasses to appear. But now,
McGuinn has developed a kind
of beer belly. He has thick
blonde hair filling out past and
around his shoulders. At
Delaware, he had a beard, but
has since shaven. The tight
black leather bells he wore
helped to make the sight rather
melancholy for me. I always
get some strange emothions
about passing of time and a
grand picture of the musical
cosmos shines past my eyes for
a few seconds. Somehow, I end
up a little sad, in spite of the
fantastic musical experience.
A main attraction of this
concert is the performance of
three 16th Century Spanish
Christmas carols. Featured are
the following soloists: Barb
Sheerin, soprano, Diane
Johnson, soprano, Tom
Belekanich, tenor, and Howard
Havens, baritone. Selections
from the Christmas Oratorio,
by Bach, with Marion Kosko
performing the organ solo, is
also to be presented. A
"community sing" is included,
with those well-known
Christmas carols that we love
and cherish.

McGuinn's high stepping and
kicking seems to show he still
enjoys his music.
Clarence White's
commanding guitar has added a
new dimension (Fifth
Dimension? ?) to the formerly
12-string dominated Byrds
sound. He is an excellent
guitarist doing amazing work
with his five finger electric
picking that cuts through and
carries things at times.
When Jesus is Just Alright
was going strong, it seemed
that everyone in the packed
Wilkes College Gym was on his
feet clapping, especially me. I
felt, as most of the audience
did at that moment, that the
Byrds are still a little more
than just alright.
Eric Anderson, who has
apparently been with the Byrds
for the last three concerts, did
a fine job, dispite a noisy,
seemingly impatient crowd. His
country-folk songs were soloed
well by him on guitar, and
on piano. and he was called
back by an unexpectedly
strong call for an encore.

this week at New Hope
The greatest love story of
all time, "Romeo and Juliet"
will have a three week run at
the Bucks County Playhouse,
New Hope. Student
performances are scheduled
each weekday at 10:30 A.M.
and there are evening
performances Friday and
Saturday at 8:30 P.M. with one
2:00 P.M. matinee Dec. 4.
This classic is in repertory
with the contemporary "West
Side Story" which derives from
Shakespeare's play. It is the
first time in theatre history
that both plays are presented
on the same bill. Another
unique feature of this double
bill is that both "West Side
Story" and "Romeo and
Juliet" share the same director,
Paul Barry - founder of the
New Jersey State Shakespeare
Festival; and in key roles, there
is double casting.
"Romeo and Juliet" is a
play for all time, a play about
youth and for youtit Born of
the Elizabethan period and set
in Venice, the play tells of the
feuding Montagues and
Capulets and how these
families are brought together

BLOODROCK U.S.A
With the Dec. 3 concert
rapidly becoming a reality, it
seems, only appropriate that
the new Bloodrock album
should be reviewed.
The cover of the album
says: "At last - Another
amazing adventure to open
your mind." Underneath that
is a cartoon of a man being
shot through the head.
From the beginning it is
obvious that the music, or
rather the instrumentation,
isn't the moving force behind
Bloodrock's work. The music is
fairly typical rock 'n roll even
though it is somewhat morbid
at times. The general
impression is that the music is
there because it has to be.
Juliet" opens
through the tragically ending
love of Romeo, a Montague
and Juliet, a Capulet.
"Romeo and Juliet"
features Carol Williard, Clyde
Burton, Arthur Sellers, Jim
Keach, Dennis M. Fitzpatrick,
Christian Grant, Robert Coucill
and Minerva Davenport.
Tickets may be obtained
by calling the box office at
(215) 862-2041.
The entire album has an
air of misery around it from
the blood on the cover to the
last song on the album. Even
the titles suggest evil and
misery. It's a Sad World, Don't
Eat the Children, Hangman's
Dance, and American Burn are
a few examples. Magic men,
witches and Lucifer run all
through the album as if to cast
an evil spell. Abracadaver and
Magic Man are two of the
spell-casting songs which
subject us to magic wizards and
their power.
For a while we are
temporarily sidetracked by a
semi-love song called Crazy
'Bout You, Baby and Rock 'n
Roll Candy Man, Bloodrock's
current single.
Through the blood and
fire we are made some
promises - that "We'll be alive
someday - we will survive
someway."
Perhaps Bloodrock has an
answer. Somewhere between
the lines of those
mind-shattering lyrics are even
more earth-shattering
meanings.
I'm hoping the answers
will appear in their
performance. One can never
fully appreciate artists and
their work unless seen at that
work. I'll be at the concert -
looking for something - maybe
Lucifer himself.
