The Moody Blues, an
English group, will play at
the Ft. Worth Convention
Ceri.Jr Arena on April 3.
The group was the first to
mix rock with the more sophis-
ticated sounds of classical
music. In 1967 they recorded
an entire LP, “Days of Future
Past,” with the Lai don
Symphony Orchestra.
Through the use of ex-
pensive electronic equipment,
the band is capable of re-
producing the orchestra
sounds on stage. Besides
the standard army of amps,
the Moody Blues tour with
thousands of dollars worth of
synthesizers and other com-
plex devices. The concert
should be a refreshing change
of pace from the ear-shat-
tering heavy rock which is so
common these days.
Another classically
oriented British band, Emer=-
son, Lake, & Palmer, is ex-
pected to play in the area
soon. ELP has quickly be-
come one of the most popular
new bands around.
Their newest album, “Pic-
tures at an Exhibition,”
shows why the group is so
popular. The whole record is
based on the classical piece
“Pictures.” ELP performs
the piece with their own ar-
rangement, and the results
are very exciting . Keith
Emerson’s keyboard work is
articularly worth mentioning;
e is currently one of the best
pianists on the scene.
There_i_s_a lot of new and
different rock music being
played these days. These
two concerts should provide a
good opportunity to hear it.
but of all its electronic de-
vices such as wah-wah pedals,
fuzz tones, feedback, and
reverb amps. Through the
use of these things, he was
able to recreate on stage most
of the effects that were pre
viously limited to the re-
cording studio.
Three Hendrix albums
have been issued since the
artist’s death in 1970, the
most recent being “Hendrix
In The West,” a live record-
ing. In many ways it is one
of his best LPs. Most of
the cuts were recorded in
California with Mitch Mitch-
ell on drums and Billy Cox or
Noel Redding on bass.
“In The West” opens with
a .fine, rocking “Johnny B.
Goode.” This song has
been recorded so often and by
so many people, ranging from
Johnny Cash to the Grateful
Dead, that I was beginning to
get sick of it. But Hendrix’
version is one of the best
I’ve heard, and the guitar
work is especially good.
“Voodoo Child,” a heavy
blues track from an earlier
album, is lenghthened here to
eight minutes. Instrumental ly,
it beats the original, but
Hendrix’ singing isn’t as good
as the previous version.
“Little Wing,” however, is
nearly perfect, with a sad
vocal and some beautiful,
melancholy guitar .
The best moments on the
LP are saved for last. “Red.
House,” a straight blues
which Hendrix first recorded
in 1966, is stretched out to
1 almost fifteen minutes. It’s
all here; the screaming, burn-
ing guitar, the desperate
vocal, and the almost hyp-
notic intensity which was
‘Hendrix’ trademark. This
might be the best number he
ever put on record.
Jimi Hendrix was a musi-
cal genius, and “In The West”
is a fine album in the Hendrix
tradition. Let’s hope there’s
more where it came from.
Jimi Hendrix
Jimi Hendrix was without
a doubt the single most im-
portant musician in rock and
roll. His later concerts in-
volved a lot of extended
instrumentql jamming, as well
as demonstrating his total
mnctpru not nnlv nf the; auitar.
April 7-8, 1972 are impor-
tant days for the Weather-
