C©iii(S©irili Gigs Hit Lantz in Spring Martial sounds, a mordant drum roll, then cornets faced one another in a haze of scarlet light to sound a familiar, plaintive melody called Requiem for the Masses. That was the six-man band, or Association, which performed on March 17. The group drew the reluctant and skeptical crowd into appreciation with this song. A different kind of audience responded with frenzy on April 28 to the James Gang, a more recent and popular group. Jabbing, pulsating rhythms and sensations hit the crowd as the James Gang rocked.
