JERRY LEE LEWIS, CHUCK BERRY EN MARYLAND 1973 REVIEW
Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis Y Bruce Springsteen En La Universidad De Maryland
Check this out! Si usted fuera un estudiante de la Universidad de Maryland en 1973 de nuevo - tal vez algunos de ustedes estaban? - Se puede asistir a este concierto enfermos con Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis y Bruce Springsteen. Bien, Jerry Lee Lewis ha pasado como un poco dudosa, pero el tipo es bastante increíble en el piano.
Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis y Bruce Springsteen concierto en la Universidad de Maryland en 1973
Las entradas para menos de seis dólares y se puede comprobar a cabo estas tres leyendas? No es un mal negocio.
Bueno, espera que el pensamiento. A pesar de esta promocionado triunvirato de luminarias de rock - o dos tíos viejos y Boss - las críticas fueron menos que estelares.
Me encontré con la opinión del Washington Post de la serie anterior. El siguiente artículo fue escrito por Tom Zito y publicado el 30 de abril de ese año.
Cualquiera que sea la situación actual del rock 'n' roll, la música sigue siendo lo suficientemente popular como para tener cinco de sus padres fundadores jugar en los conciertos del área de Washington este fin de semana.
En la noche de la Universidad de Maryland Sábado 7.500 personas divididas entre aquellos que eran estudiantes de secundaria en los años 50 y los jóvenes adolescentes que acaban de descubrir los clásicos de la época-se levantó y aplaudió la música de Chuck Berry y Jerry Lee Lewis. Ayer por la noche una pelea programada 'n' Richard Nader Rock Show Revival rollo en el Centro Cívico de Baltimore incluido Little Richard, Bo Diddley y Bill Haley y los Cometas. Y en la televisión la noche del viernes, Midnight Special NBC ofreció, así como Lewis y Diddley, Edd "Cuqui" (Lend Me Your Comb) Byrnes, los pingüinos, Chubby Checker y Anthony Little.

Eso es un sólido grupo extendido por todo el área metropolitana de Baltimore-Washington. Por cierto, cada vez que pienso en Bo Diddley, pienso en ese comercial Bo Jackson ... " Bo, no sabes Diddley ".
Pero la noche del sábado, a pesar del tumultuoso aplauso que recibieron, la fundación de padres de Lewis y Berry estaban en condiciones musical bastante descuidado. Después del concierto se había abierto con una excelente media hora por Bruce Springsteen , cuya música está influenciada por el rock and roll, la banda de Lewis parecía un taladro con sus 30 minutos de las normas música country.
...
Lewis abrió con su éxito actual single del álbum, una versión de ritmo rápido de Palos de McGee "Drinking Wine Spo-Dee O'Dee." Pero luego se procedió a hacer su show habitual país, regresando al final con sólo "Gran Balls of Fire "y" Whole Lotta Shakin 'Going On ".
Cuando por fin llegó a Berry a las 11 pm, había un sentimiento distinto en el aire que el público se desatan de sus tres horas de confinamiento, independientemente de lo que la música juega Berry.
Y tan pronto como sonó la introducción de guitarra familiar "Roll Over Beethoven", cuerpos subió al escenario y, balanceándose al ritmo de la música. Si su forma de tocar es una chapuza-se perdió notas con frecuencia ya veces cantaba fuera de tono-Berry tocó todas las bases familiares: "School Daze", "Sweet Little Sixteen", "vueltas y vueltas", "Johnny B. Goode".
El público bailó hasta la media noche en los pasillos y en caracteres. Los abucheos comenzaron cuando Berry no volvería al escenario para hacer un bis.

A pesar de que Zito era Debbie Downer, que sonaba como la gente le encantó, así que quizás sólo tienen un crítico musical hiper-crítico atacando porque la música no era tan puro como lo era cuando Berry y Jerry Lee primero golpeó la escena.
De todos modos, probablemente habría sido un espectáculo divertido para ir, a pesar de esta crítica negativa.Aunque, he de decir que prefiero ir al Beatles show, las puertas de una o Hendrix en el Hilton antes de éste. Y, por supuesto, no se olvide cuando U2 tocó aquí como un pequeño grupo, el día antes de que Lennon fue asesinado en Nueva York.

KRIS KRISTOFFERSON REMENBER THE HIGHWAYMEN
KRIS KRISTOFFERSON REMENBER THE HIGHWAYMEN
BY MATT MUNOZ Californian staff writer
Brownsville, Texas, might be on a geographical boundary between two countries, but cultural lines in the city that lies on the banks of the Rio Grande are not so clearly defined. Or at least that was the case for Kris Kristofferson and Cesar Chavez, who met there as young men, forging what would become a lifelong friendship.
Years after the two blazed their own trails -- Kristofferson in music and movies and Chavez as the founder of the United Farm Workers union -- the performer has agreed to pay homage to his late friend with a series of concerts celebrating the 50th anniversary of the UFW. The tour rolls into the Fox on Tuesday.
RELATED INFO
Kris Kristofferson and Los Lobos
When: 8 p.m. Tuesday
Where: Fox Theater, 2001 H St.
Admission: $25 to $100 plus service charge
Information: 324-1369 or vallitix.com
"I've been working with them between 30 to 40 years," said Kristofferson during a recent phone interview of his affiliation with the UFW.
"Growing up in Brownsville, I spoke Spanish before I spoke English, and identified with the Mexicans. I can remember most of the workers down there, a lot of 'em just swam the river comin' over. Then later, when Cesar Chavez asked me to do some work for them, I was anxious to do it."
A little hazy on their first meeting in Brownsville, Kristofferson said age has stolen many of his earliest memories of Chavez, but after some brief pauses, he was able to gather a few.
"I have vague memories. It was the early '70s and I had just started performing myself. I must have been singing some Mexican songs and he heard me and asked if I could sing for some of their functions."
At age 75, Kristofferson -- a rare liberal voice in country music -- remains as outspoken as ever. His activism developed when he was young, traveling and living in various parts of the country as the son of a U.S. Air Force officer. Witnessing life struggles in every part of the world, Kristofferson said the plight of the farmworker has always resonated with him and ultimately convinced him to get involved.
"I've taken some heat over the years for some of my beliefs, but it's never stopped me. I've had some people who've voiced objections to stands I was making on different military things we'd been involved in. It's never stopped me from doing anything."
When he's not championing social causes, the gravelly voiced Kristofferson boasts one of the most colorful entertainment careers around, as a universally revered songwriter/singer and busy actor. He's written such classics as "Me and Bobby McGee," "Sunday Morning Coming Down," and "Help Me Make It Through the Night," and has starred in a number of films, including "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid," "A Star is Born," "Blade" and "Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore." Current projects include his latest CD, "Closer to the Bone," and the film "Deadfall," co-starring Sissy Spacek and Eric Bana.
Though it would be difficult for most to isolate a career highlight from such an extensive resume, Kristofferson said he cherished the time he spent working with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Johnny Cash in the country supergroup The Highwaymen.
"I'm really kind of amazed when I reflect on the people I have been close to that were my heroes, like Johnny Cash and Waylon and Willie. Those guys, who I respected so much, have turned out to be really my closest friends. It's been a great life."
Another icon with whom Kristofferson has spent time recently is Merle Haggard. The two have played several shows together and received raves in October, when they packed the Greek Theater in Hollywood. Though most would call the two men artistic peers, Kristofferson doesn't see it that way.
"As an artist there's no comparison between the two of us. Merle was a hero of mine before I ever met him, and ever since I met him he's been one of my closest friends. ... Merle, I think, is like Hank Williams or Woody Guthrie. He's just one of the classic people of our kind of music.
"I was surprised when I first got to know Merle, to find out how broad-minded the guy was who wrote 'Okie From Muskogee' and that we really were more alike than we were different. I think we both have so much respect for each other, but also we just plain get along."
Before politely excusing himself to tend to another round of media interviews, Kristofferson ended the conversation by looking back on what he calls the improbable good fortune that emerged time and again during his full life.
"I am just real grateful that given the natural tools that I got, I'm pretty amazed that I've been able to do all these things and I just feel grateful. I hate to get into it too deeply -- I might jinx it. But, so far I just look at it all with wonder."
Also scheduled to appear Tuesday are Los Lobos and comedian Gilbert Esquivel. Upcoming UFW benefits will feature Kristofferson along with Latin artists Ozomatli, Little Joe, Mariachi Divas, Nydia Rojas with Trio Ellas and Los Tex-Maniacs featuring Mingo Saldivar.
