CONCERTS Salt Lake City was flooded with concerts in 1984. The prices ranged anywhere from $3.00 for the smaller gigs, like Black Flag, up to $22.00 for a ticket to see Neil Diamond. Concerts were mostly well attended, with a substantial increase in the number of concerts this year. The Suburbs. T.S.O.L.. Twisted Sister and Berlin were just some of the bands that returned for a second performance in Salt Lake City. People traveled as far away as Park City for an outdoor Eurythmics and Howard Jones concert. Sandy had its own small concert center at the new Starz Club which brought the Red Rockers and the Tubes. Most bands, however, played in the city. Smaller bands like the Subhumans and Wire Train played at the Indian Center or the Maxim. Larger groups like the Thompson Twins and Wayne Newton played at the Special Events Center or the Salt Palace. It was not uncommon for shows to sell out. Some of the popular shows that sold out were Lionel Richie. Modern English. General Public and The Cars. Neil Diamond expanded his concert two additional nights because of sell-out crowds. Perhaps, music could be divided into four groups. Pop included mellow styles of music. Music such as Golden Oldies and country were included in this category. Hard Core or punk rock was also supported. The sound was loud, fast and to many it was unpleasant. However, those who listened to it supported it even to the extent that they dressed the part. The third group, rock, was the most enduring of all music types and will probably remain so. There was hard or acid rock and soft or mellow rock, but a rocker was always loyal to his tastes. The final group was modern music, which many students started listening to in 1984. Modern music included: ska. reggae and new wave sounds. Many of the bands in this group traveled to perform in Salt Lake from other countries.

President Reagan and Michael Jackson (notice the glove), view family photos in the oval office as they work together on a drunk — driving campaign. is one of the biggest means of entertainment. This is why it is necessary for the network to pro- duce shows which do just that — entertain. 1984 brought us some laughs and some cries. Some sitcoms will always be a success, while others seem to bomb from the beginning. Cheers, was again, one of the top in prime time, and the Cosby Show became ex- tremely successful this fall. Some ‘not-so-successful’ shows were Dou- ble Trouble, and Three's a Crowd. In the drama line. Hill Street Blues topped the charts once again. Cag- ney and Lacey were also considered two of the top cops. Most of the new dramas did not seem to be able to hold our attention. Partners in Crime and Crazy Like a Fox were a few of these losers. As far as prime-time soaps go, Dal- las and Dynasty were the most lusty, while Hotel was quoted as a, dry version of the Love Boat . Overall. T. V. brought us a large amount of new shows and stuck with a lot of the old. But no matter what, it seems that it is the good old reruns of MASH and Barney Miller which keep us tuned in. MOVIES From Body Double to Places in the Heart, and Children of the Corn to 2010: The Year We Made Contact — 1984 was a year of box-office bombs and successes. Dan Akyroyd. Bill Murray. and Harold Ramis proved Ghostbusting to be successful as Ghostbusters became the top grossing movie of the year. Other top movies were The Hatural starring Robert Redford as Roy Hobbs, a struggling baseball player, and Eddie Murphy was quite an officer in Beverly Hills Cop. A few of the losers were Sight of the Comet, in which zombies killed off remaining humans on earth. Brea- kin' and Bodyrock were two more attempts at making break dancing popular in the movie industry and on the screen. Dune, featuring Sting of the Police, turned out to be one of the lower moneymakers Despite all of the pub- licity that the movie received, the picture did not do well in the box- office. Extra
