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 Campus Chorus concert this Saturday night The Highacres Campus Chorus is on the verge of becoming a chartered organization. A constitution has been drawn up, presented .to the membership for ratification, and is now in the hands of the Student Government Association, pending approval.

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. yearbook Wel s. u. b. wed., Mars., & fri. $3.00 de posit when you open a THRIFTY CHECK ACCOUNT FULL SERVICE STEREO CENTER 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. "Romeo and 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 BOWLING BILLIARDS at your friend and neighbor BOWL ARENA 9 a.m. to midnight REAR 2747 MARARTRuR RD..

PHoNt 431 P-15011 IGHACRES COLLEGIAN, NOVEMBER 30, 1971 -- PAGE THREE sound jean yeseiski 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.
