Last Saturday night we
dug out hair creme,
makeup, white shirts,
straight-legged Levi’s, got
thoroughly grease-y (and
snot-slingin’ drunk - on
Budweiser, what else?) and
cruised over to the Coliseum
to dig on Vince Vance & the
Valiants for some authentic
r&r. Surprisingly, quite a
few students turned out in
full colors for the dance and
contests: Best Greaseball
Guy & Chick, and a dance
contest.
Vince Vance & Co.
proved to be genuinely into
the spirit of the “Glory
That Was Grease” with tight
vocal harmonies, fully
choreographed stage
motions, the guitarist
standing on one leg on top
of the piano — right down
to the Argyle socks.
After the first set of
oldies in which Vince rode a
motorcycle across stage
front during “Leader of the
Pack,** the Greaseball
contest was held. The only
trouble was that not all the
greasers got to enter. Quite
a few nasty-looking hoods
in the crowd (including us)
wanted to take Vance out
into the parking lot for
some of his publicized
“kicking ass” because of
this. The dance contest was
fairer, though, and was won
by a really slick couple.

Teller,” “Jailhouse Rock,”

“Hendrix In The West,”
• the much-talked-about
collection of Jimi’s
public performances, has
finally been released.
Produced by Eddie Kramer
and John Jansen, "West” is
compiled for the most part
with tracks cut in Berkeley
and San Diego featuring
Hendrix along with the
original Experience
members Mitch Mitchell and
Noel Redding, plus two
songs done at the Isle of
Wight with Billy Cox
replacing Redding on bass.
The California tracks are by
far the best, showing the
awesome power and
brilliant pyrotechnics of
Hendrix in concert with
songs like “Voodoo Chile,”
“Lover Man,” and “Johnny
B. Goode.”
THE TWO Isle of Wight
cuts, “The Queen” and
‘‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely
Hearts Club Band” are
definitely not Hendrix at his
best. Mitchell and Cox are
sloppy and the material just
doesn’t come off. Two of
the tracks done at San
Diego, “Little Wing” and
“Red House,” however, are
some of the finest of Jimi’s
music on record and are
directly reminescent of his
set at Byron in 1970 when
he did “Hey Joe” and
launched into the “Star
Spangled Banner” during
the fireworks show and my
brother thought the whole
thing was in his head and
would never stop. “Red
House” is a rare Hendrix
excursion into traditional
slow blues and it is
magnificent. Jimi exhibits
his mastery of blues guitar
during these 13 minutes; I
wish that he had done a lot
more of this.
Sadly, this is possibly
the last album from one of
the true giants of the latter
sixties, unless the
soundtrack from “Rainbow
Bridge” is ever released.
This version of "Red
House” is worth the price of
the lp alone. (Jimi Hendrix:

Bacchae' costuming
Anyone going to “The Bacchae." the University Theatre’s
fourth production of the season, to sec long flowing robes
and finely crafted masks of classic Greek drama is in for a
surprise. The costumes for the Greek play by Euripides are
not the classic Greek robes, but ragged, loosely woven
garments similar to those worn by the barbarians who
invaded Greece around 000 B.C. The bacchae (above),
women worshippers under the spell of Dionysus, cover their
hair and bodies with leaves and ivy vines to express their
adorations of Dionysus. The Bacchae starts today and runs
through Saturday night, in the fine Arts Auditorium.
Curtain is at 8 p.m. Reservations can be made by calling the
University Theatre at 2-28.18 lickclwr^2.

AUDITORIUM
DOVER KLAM
by Phil Sanderlin
EPIC RECORDS has just
released a double Ip from
the now-defunct Edgar
Winter’s White Trash band.
It’s all live and was recorded
at the Academy of Music
and the Apollo Theatre in
New York and the Whiskey
A Go-Go in L.A.
“Roadwork” features
smoking performances by
Edgar Winter, Jerry
LaCroix, Rick Derringer and
the band and an appearance
by Johnny Winter (his first
in over a year). The live
recording effectively
captures the vocal tradeoffs
and sax interplay between
Edgar and Jerry, Derringer’s
blistering guitar work, and
the boiling honk that the
band put down so well last
summer in Atlanta.
The material is heavily
brass and r&b oriented, with
songs like “Jive, Jive, Jive,”
“Save the Planet,” “Still
Alive & Well” and “1 Can’t
Turn You Loose.” This
album proves again with its
jolting rock and uptempo
blues that a brass band can
be something besides insipid
shmaltz.
Johnny Winter’s vocals
and guitar on “Rock and
Roll Hoochie Coo” are not
his best; you can tell he has
been out for a while. One of
“Roadwork’s” peaks is a
17:13 version of “Tobacco
Road” in which Edgar and
Jerry both take vocal and
beautiful sax solos.
This is a permanent
example of what the White
Trash band was capable of.
It sounds fine up around
“8”. 1 haven’t heard Edgar’s
new band; they will really
have to be something to top
White Trash. (Edgar

music of the period presented
For many of the numbers, the
costumes are quite extensive.
FOR EXAMPLE, in the
silent movie sequence, tne girls
are wearing the hats and ties
(and badges) of the Keystone
cops.
"It's much more difficult to
swim in costume," said Marty
Washington, the club's adviser.
She said they used leotards and
tights, though, since they
showed up better in the water.
She called this show the
best one the Dolphin Club had
done in the past tew years.
Ihe girls in the Dolphin
Club have been working all
year hut this past week they
stepped up their work as they
put the finishing touches on
the show.
Last weekend was "work
weekend” for the club. “We
worked kind of hard," Tricia
Bcdingficld. president of the
Club, said with a smile.
