SPECIAL ' t Foot-stompin ' crowd rocks to hit music T he applause and screams of 5,760 people flooded Gross Memorial Coliseum when Lit ' tie River Band walked on stage. Before the sell-out crowd on a warm, Oct, 3 evening, the Aus- tralian band performed the familiar, welcomed sounds of Lady, Cool Change and Lonesome Loser 1 Although the preceding act, the Dirt Band, re- ceived standing ovations for Mr. Bojangles An American Dream and Make a Little Magic, the spotlight seemed to focus on the Australian band. The Little River Band was a band the campus had been waiting on for a long time, Dave Brown, Memorial Union Activities Board program director, said. Students began waiting outside the Memorial Union to purchase tickets 15 hours in advance of sale time. On the opening sale day, $10,000 of tickets were sold in 45 minutes. By the end of the day, more tickets had been sold for the LRB concert than for any concert since 1974, When the 7 piece band left the stage at the end of the concert, it was only for a short time. Clapping, foot-stomping and yelling sent the Australian band back to sing Reminiscing. As the spotlights dimmed and the LRB cleared the stage for a second time, the sell-out crowd slowly dispersed out into the cool air. An evening of concert entertainment was in the past. However, the one-word encore song will not let it be forgotten. v Lead vocalist Jeff Hanna reveals another of his multi talents when spotlighted during the Dirt Band ' s performance 18 Little River Band Dirt Band
