The Greg Kihn band opened for the Tubes with their hits Jeporady and The Breakup Song ' Some of the songs the Tubes performed were She ' s a Beauty, White Punks on Dope and I Don ' t Want To Wait Anymore ' The group deceived the au- dience by first appearing in matching suits and ties and carry- ing briefcases. From here the group appeared in anything but coordinating outfits. The group changed costumes throughout the evening. In order to have front row seats at the Tubes ' concert, Mary Beth Beech a rd, Grinell sr., stood in line all night outside the Memorial Union waiting for tickets to go on sale the next day. There was usually a small group of devoted fans who made an all-night party out of waiting for tickets to go on sale for every concert. Guitar solos by Brian Selzer highlight the Stray Cats ' performance. The 23-year-old singer guitarist was the founder of the rockabilly trio. The Tubes stress c reativity in their performances in various ways. The music is ours — the costumes and dancing, too ' Waybill said. He said that the Tubes get their inspiration from life itself. We sing about the things people do every day and understand, Waybill said, We bring across all kinds of feelings in our music — from comedy to tragedy, love, anger, hate, fear, hurt — we leave nothing out. But we like to make people feel good and get crazy. Because they work at entertain- ing their audiences. Waybill said the Tubes ' performances are tir- ing. I know we did good when I feel like this, he said as he rested on a mattress back stage. Hey man! I don ' t feel like goin ' to school — no more ' This phrase brought a scream of joy from the audience at Gross Memorial Coliseum on Nov, 12, It was the opening line to the Stray Cats ' hit, Sexy and Seventeen. Playing a unique blend of music, known as rockabilly, the Cats generated enthusiasm in the less-than-crowded arena. Despite the small audience, numbering approximately 1,500, band members said, They reacted like a sellout crowd ' In addition to Sexy and Seven- teen, the group rocked fans with such hits as Stray Cat Strut and Rock This Town. — Alison Hall — Dawn McCollum he tubes Monty Davis
