Concerts Rock Fieldhouse and Ballroom 1983-84 was a year for the Activities Council to test conserts on campus. The Tubes was the first major concert of the year. Combo Audio opened the show with their high-energy brand of techno-pop synthesized music. But the crowd was there for the Tubes, and they made it known as the band took the stage. The rest of the evening was filled with madness and mayhem as Fee Waybill led his musicians . . . and a chorus line of scantily clad girls . . . throu h renditions of both S new and classic Tubes music. Their unique blend of 1 it Q 2.6 Concerts ' theatricality and high-energy music was a perfect beginning for a concert series. The next major concert was in conjunction with Fall Parent's Weekend. Comedian-juggler Michael Davis lwho has performed on the Tonight Show and at the White Housej opened for the legendary Glenn Miller Band. Parent and students alike danced the night away to golden tunes like Pennsylvania 6500 , Moonlight Serenade and . . . of course . . . In the Mood - big band at its best.
