I TOOTHBRUSHES FOR BANGLADESH
IFC sponsoring drive
For those ot you who have been waiting since those last
dark months of 1969, here’s some information you might
dig. The Rolling Stones will perform Wednesday night June
28, at Memorial Coliseum in Tuscaloosa, Ala.
The Stones will be joined by Nicky Hopkins on piano,
Bobby Keys and Jim Price on horns, and the second acts
will be Stevie Wonder and Dorothy Norwood. All tickets
are $6 with no reserved seats. The Coliseum seats 16,000.
Tickets go on sale June 3, at the Coliseum in Tuscaloosa,
Tape Village in Montgomery and at the Coliseum boxoffice
in Birmingham.
All mail orders should include stamped, self-addressed
envelopes with cashier's check or money order - no
personal checks - payable to "Rolling Stones, Concerts
Hast” and be sent to: Rolling Stones Box Office, 1930
Eighth Avenue N. Birmingham, Ala. 35203. Mail orders
will be filled first.
The latest word on the Stones’ “Main Street” Ip has it out
in about two weeks.
It was erroneously stated in The Red and Black “Feast of
Bacchus” reivew that Jazz Creed was the first group to
appear Saturday afternoon the information came from a •
Union officer. The people onstage were actually area
musicians jamming together and only included one member
of Jazz Creed. Sincere apologies to the Jazz Creed band, to
which the critical remarks were mistakenly applied.
Friday night during Wet Willie’s second song in Memorial
Hall, Rob'o Holmes was smiling, shaking his head and
muttering descriptive obscentities under his breath. And
Robb is not easily impressed. Once again, both group and
audience were ready to fly right from the start. The crowd
yelled and whistled encouragement even in the first
number. Jimmy Hall said a little later “We like to hear that
from you and we take that feedback and give it right back
to you.”
Wet Willie literally raised hell during their three sets,
playing the blues and rock ’n roll in their truly rare fashion.
Later after a I 5-minute version of “Shout Bam-A-Lama”
which had the over-capacity crowd on their feet, another
blues fan said “Now I know why they had that picture in
the 'Bird of Wet Willie blowing the roof off I 2th Gate!”
Every member of the hand was in excellent form; Jimmy
Hall’s stunning vocals, harmonica and sax, Lewis Ross with
his beautiful new trap set, John Anthony on keyboards,
Jack Hall on bass and the fiery lead guitar team of Wick
Larson and Ricky Hirsch both of whose solos drew
numerous standing ovations. It was one of the finest live
shows for delivery, energy and rapport that I’ve been
privileged to attend. This band, with its second lp out in
mid-August, is unquestionably on its way.
Eric, down at Underground Records under the Wrangler
Steak House - has a nice program going to give some
exposure to music groups who produce quality stuff but
who are relatively unknown.
Last week he ran a special on the two albums by Z Z Top
and showed me two examples of the groups Pearls Before
Swine featuring Tom Rapp. The albums, “City of Gold”
(Reprise RS 6492) and “Beautiful Lies You Could Live In”
(Reprise RS 6467) offer melodic ballads and country with
some fine vocals by Tom Rapp and tasteful instrumentation
by the bandmembers.
If you drop by Underground Records I’m sure Eric will
show you more of this group and others. In this parade of
musical junk that we are besieged with today, a service like
this by a record outlet is badly needed Eric plans a
much-needed Procol Harum special soon.
As the CSN * v members r««»i«ne their solo and separate
group efforts this year, we are seeing some extremely solid
music coming forth, e.g. Neil Young’s “Harvest,” the
Graham Nash/David Crosby album and now Stephen Stills’
newest, a joy.
Entitled “Manassas,” the double lp has Stills performing
with an extremely tight band composed of Chris Hillman
on guitar; Dallas Taylor, drums; Paul Harris . keyboards.
Fuzzy Samuels, bass; Al Perkins, guitar and steel, and Joe
Lala also on guitars. Bill Cyman and Malcolm Cecil
contribute bass and Synthesizer programming, respectively.
This giant assemblage of talented people with Stephen
Stills at the forefront has put together what will surely be
one of the ten best albums of the year. Hu material, all
characterized by taste and restraint, is loosely grouped
under four subtitles, each filling a side, entitled “The
Raven,” “The Wilderness,” “Consider” and “Rock & Roll
Is Here To Stay.”
“Rock and Roll Crazies, Cuban Bluegrass. and Jet Set”
form a stunning suite on side one. “Colorado,” on side two
and “It Doesn’t Matter” on side three are the highest of the
many peaks on “Manassas.”
On side four Stephen Stills plays a solo guitar and vocal
tribute to Jimi Hendrix, Al Wilson, and Duane Allman
called “Blues Man,” which is intensely moving and provides
a fitting conclusion to this fine Ip. Here is a perfect
rebuttal, along with “Eat A Peach” and “Rio Grande Mud,”
to those prophets who insistently croak “Rock is Dead.”
(Stephen Stills, “Manassas;” Atlantic SD 2-903 099f>).
A number of guest musicians including Linda Ronstadt,
the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Arlo Guthrie and Tracy Nelson
have joined the legendary Earl Scruggs on nis latest album.
“I Saw the Light, with a little help from my friends.” The
performances they turn in, neighbors, are durn near
incredible, with some of the pickin’est bango, dobro, guitar
and fiddle work and grass-kickin' vocals laid down in some
country/flood time.
The best tracks are “Lonesome and a Long Way from
Home," “Rock Salt and Nails,” and “Motherless Child
Blues,” for me, you may have a different idea of this music.
If you have never liked coqptry or if you’ve been wanting a
good starter for a country collection with the real thing,
this is an album to listen to. (Earl Scruggs, I Saw the Light
with » little help from my friends; Columbia KC 31354).
Columbia has released a collection of Janis Joplin’s live
performances, under the name “Joplin in Concert,” dating
as far back as March of 1968 and going to July of 1970.
The early performances are with Big Brother and the latter
are with Full Tilt Boogie.
This Ip does not show the best in live recording technique
but some tracks do capture the power of Jams live, off-key
band and muddy recording, et al. The early cut of “Down
on Me” and the later one of “Ball and Chain” are two of
the best included here. I am sure a much better album
would have ensued had a defined effort been made to
record her live, especially with Full Tilt Boogie. “Kosmic
Blues” and "Pearl” remain the definitive albums of Janis’
tragic career. (Janis Joplin “Joplin in Concert” Columbia
C2X31II60).
I hope you can keep yourself alive and out of jail for the
summer 'cause it promises to be an interesting one for rock
’ roll with Procol Harum coming to Atlanta, the Stones in
America, and so on. Happy Shufflin' and see you in
Tuscaloosa.
The Intertraternity Council is
sponsoring a campus drive to
collect money to buy tooth
brushes tor dental clinics in
Bangladesh.
The brushes will be used by
1 2 women

Twelve University women
were intuited into Zodiac, an
honor society recognizing the
12 top women in the junior
class, this quarter.
I hey were Martha Diane

Becky Kae I vans, Melynda

The ceremonies were held
Wednesday, May 17, at the
Georgia Center for Continuing
Education.
Athens dentist Dr. Barry
Simmons, who spends each
summer providing free dental
care in underdeveloped areas.
Dr. Simmons is spending this
summer in Bangladesh, and can
buy toothbrushes from the
manufacturers for a dime each.
IFC has donated $250 for
Bangladesh which will buy
2,500 toothbrushes. They have
also set up a table this week in
Memorial Plaza to collect
donations. And contributions
can be brought to the li t
office in Memorial Hall.
“Bangladesh is more than just
a concert. It’s a nation. A
country where people live and
die together. And in 1972,
there’s a lot more dying going
on than living.” said Glenn
Klausman. IFC member and
organizer of the drive.
“Men, women, and children
are starving. They look like
victims of a concentration
camp. But in Bangladesh the
torture comes from hunger and
disease. And when there is
food, many mouths, especially
those of children, are so
horribly infected that it is
nearly impossible to eat and be
nourished,” Klausman said.
Few Bangladesh children
have ever seen a toothbrush,
according to Klausman. “There
are probably more
toothbrushes in Brumby Hall
than in all of Bangladesh,”
Klausman claimed.
‘‘Sure the people of
Bangladesh need food. But thy
aLso need dental care. And they
need toothbrushes and
someone to show them how to
use then,” he said.
