CONCERTSCCNC Shreveport Concerts Rick Springfield One of the most exciting concerts of this past year was Rick Springfield. Don’t Talk to Strangers”. Human Touch”, and What kind of Tool Am I , were all featured during this great performance. Jessie’s Girl’ , his first big hit and an encore performance, was the highlight of the evening. Terri Holtby. an avid fan. said. It was the best concert I’ve ever been to! The stage looked like a lingerie shop, and Rick Springfield looked like well, you know what Rick looks like. I ' m sure everyone agrees. We will all welcome him back with open arms next year. Triumph The Triumph concert was certainly a tri¬ umph! The band led the screaming fans through three hours of great rock and roll music which included Magic Powers , Al lied Torces . Lay it on the Line”, and the all time favorite. World of Fantasy. Along with the exciting vocals of Rick Emmett, a totally revolutionary laser show left every fan breathless and yelling for more excite ment. 14 Student Life Pat Benatar The most inventive lady vocalist of the SO’s is Pat Benatar. From a very early age Pat Benatar studied vocals, majoring in opera. She now says that this early study of music enables her to obtain those screaming highs and grumbling lows that make her music pop¬ ular. All these different pitches are found on her great new album. Live From Earth , may be the name of your new album, but we think it’s out of this world. Diana Ross Diana Ross, a famous soul singer of our time, is beautiful inside and out. She has a glowing personality that mables her to capti vate and take control over any crowd. In her concerts she sings songs of love and the unity of people. From the early 60’s to the early 80 s. she has been known as one of the greatest women of soul and will be for a long time to come. Kenny Rogers One of the biggest country stars today is Kenny Rogers. With his husky voice and rugged face, he sings ballads of love and life which people of all ages enjoy listening to. The Gambler . Lady , and Lucille are only a few of his hits that account for all his sold-out shows. His concert in Shreveport was a big hit. and everyone agrees that the best part was the slide show of his wife and baby. We all enjoy his music and welcome any new releases. Alabama One of the country’s most popular groups. Alabama, has won honors for three consecutive years. Their heart¬ warming songs of their homeland touch people all over the country. Their recent concert this past year included many of their hit songs, including The Closer You Get , Mountain Music , and everyone’s favorite. Feels So Right. ceuNTcr MUSIC
