YASGUR ' S FARM ROCKS BALLROOM SaB ' s first mini concert of the year began with a smash with newcoming group Yasgur ' s Farm. With over 400 dancing and screaming people, the crowd and group rocked the student center ballroom. Playing music from the Woodstock Era, Yasgur ' s Farm played the Moody Blues, Santana, Jimmy Hendrix, The Who, Led Zeppelin, and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young. The crowd responded well to keyboard player, John Glass ' s Nights in White Satin, by the Moody Blues. Songs Open Invitation and Black Magic Woman by Santana made the crowd jump out of their seats. Lead guitarist, known by his close friends as, Lenny, gave the crowd one hell of a show, said Steve Neues, a fan of the group. The crowd seemed to like the Tommy Overture by the Who the best. One could guess this by the faces of the enthusiastic crowd. 14

WHAT ' S HIS NAME?? BRUCE? NO, WARREN ZEVON! Dave Edmonds opened the show for Warren Zevon with Elvis Costello ' s Girl ' s Talk and Chuck Berry ' s Sweet Little Rock and Roller, Although the crowd got psyched to Edmonds, it was Zevon who had them clapping and rocking well past midnight in Esby gym. Zevon ' s hit songs Certain Girls, Werewolves of London and Excitable Boy were only part of his repertoire which excited the audience. Although some students attended the concert because of the grapevine high-flying rumor that the infamous Bruce The Boss Springsteen would put in a not-so- surprising appearance, (which he did not) the fans seemed satisfied with the music of Zevon and Edmonds.
