i2!Music music Something for Eve one. C9 Whether it's listening to a favorite al- bum or attending a live concert, music has something to offer audiences of all ages. For many teens, music supplies that lltake me away feeling that could be considered essential after a week filled with classes and homework. One of the most popular forms of musical entertainment in the area has been concerts. Many groups such as Styx, Foreigner and Blue Oyster Cult enter- tained sellout crowds at Roberts Stadium in Evansville. Concert-goers would probably attend concerts for the music alone, but the light shows and special effects add much more variety to the performance, such as the colossal jukebox which inflated to enor- mous size and then burst during the song Ulukebox Hero at the Foreigner!BiIly Squire concert. While the average price of concert tick- ets is around S59, students often find themselves spending between 525 and S530 after buying gas, a T-shirt and re- freshments. Although albums are no sub- stitute for live performances, music lovers spend between S8 and S10 on an album or tape. Wax Works, New Attitude Records and TD's Tuff Decisions proved to be students' favorite places to shop for records and tapes because of their variety of selections and moderate prices. Although rock is still rolling, a new rock era is emerging. Actually, it's an old sound to a new beat. Music fans everywhere are becoming aware of the pure rock sound of the 60's and early 70's, when the nation was in a state of turmoil and music was the one ultimate escape. Sparked by the death of lohn Lennon, this flame has been kindled by the revival of groups and performers such as Moody Blues with their album l'Long Distance Voyager and Steve Winwood with his ablum liArc of a Diver . Even though these Uoldies are coming back, they are being blended with the electronic sound of the 80's to produce a truly unique rock. Through radio, televi- sion, stereo and concerts, music plays an integral part in the lives of all teens. During his concert Billy Squire stares hypnotically into the crowd. This huge jukebox exploded when Foreigner played their ever pop- Q J X -A ular song Blukebox Hero . These D.C. students display their favorite concert T-shirts. Q Y
