GET READY 7. The audience waits, expectant. Some ex- cited, some bored, some there because it was a legend, one of the old originals, some there only because it was Home- coming and a date. All waiting. As time goes on, the buzz of whispers and murmurs becomes louder, more in- sistent, more intense. Occasionally, an irate shout punctuates the drone. The group finally arrives. They play, most songs familiar. The music brings the audience, wanting to be moved, to its feet. Briefly, the mood is electric. Groups form dance lines - the clapping is deaf- ening for a moment. And then the group leaves abruptly. One encore, and the audience is still waiting, but it's over. A moment of music, spent mostly waiting. Good music, but too short for the climax each expected he would reach. After a delay of 45 minutes, a crowd of 1675 persons watched Rare Earth, the Homecoming Major Attraction, play for one hour and 15 minutes. x cv rf ' . I L C' ra, ' ' C .
