nriGdiQ specrftUM A ' came ' back Look here, look there. You ' d be doing a lot of that it you wanted to find a concert in Fort Wayne in the spring of 79. For several concerts the city police had cracked down on drugs and alcohol causing arrests and disturbances at concerts at the Coliseum. So instead of the promotion companies retaliating they just pulled out of Fort Wayne. Last summer the ice broke, officers and promoters agreed to meet each other half way. Concerts were back in Fort Wayne. The high school students from the New Haven area turned out in mass at each Coliseum concert. Kansas Styx played in the full, to packed crowds and standing ovations. But, when Kiss came through town controversy and drug busts lay in their path. Seventy-three concert goers were arrested for illegal possession on the night of the concert. Most were held in the city jail over night. In the morning a surprise greeted the impuned fans. Kiss came to jail and provided bail for all of the luckless citizens who were arrested at their concert. Foreigner winged their way on their promotional tour in the midwinter and had what some fans called a mediocre engagement. Mainly, this was attributed to the fact that their lastest album, ' Head Games, ' was less than satisfying. The Beach Boys appeared in late February. When the ticket sales were open many New Havenites said that they weren ' t interested in seeing them. But the day after the concert many professed to going to the concert after all and enjoying the Beach Boys performance. New Haven High students have rediscovered concerts and find them an interesting change of pace. Many who just went to their first concert just this year said that it would not be their last. Concert fans, like Keith DeLucenay (1 1 ). often buy souve- nirs at the concerts. 1 — Media ' Kramer vs. Kramer ' swept the academy awards.
