I OAT ends with by Doug Balding Jsst. S!Jnu editor

Friday night, the Open Ai' Theatre featured performan~es by two bands with roots in late-70s English post-punk.

While the headlining New Order has long ago risen above the obscurity of its earlier days, the Fall remains relative~1 unknown (and unliked, if shouts of "Go home" and "You suck" during the band's set are any indicalion). However, the Fall presented the

. more conSistently interesting show.

After creating some initial ex­citemenl by st3rting wit" :Is hits "Blue Monday." "SheIl5hock" and

"Love Culture," New Order set­tled into a predictable routine that quickly got boring.

The biggest problem with the band is not its sound, but with the lack of any strong personality on which to focus. Most of the blame must lie wilh singer Bernard Albrecht (looking very San Diegan in shorts and T-shirt), whose thin voice was irritatingly stretched on several songs and who has a far­from-charismatic stage perso­nality.

The other band members (Gil­lian Gilbert on keyboards and guitar, Steve Morris on keyboards and drums, and Peter Hook on bass) are also not overly exciting, although Hook move<1 around a

the new bit in a rarely successful effort to creal~ exci~emen!, and Morris is an energetic and entertaining drummer.

So little was happening much of the time that when the relatively minor event of Albrecht tapping on a cowbell occurred, it received a crowd response that may have convinced a few dozillQ fans that something was actuallY happen­ing on stage.

Something actualty was hap­pening during the Fall's set, although it is doubtful that many people, at the show solely tor New Orders hits, realized it.

The band's show was kept in­teresting by its driving, grungy songs and Mark E. Smith's unique vocals, which altemate between talk-singing, yelping and screaming.

Smith's relaxed stage presence and his band's no-frills approach belies the intense nature of his songs. whose music and lyrics. although more varied and compli­cated than most punk, often re­flect an anergy similar to that achieved by the best punk bands .

Rock 'n' roll dinosaurs never die, they Just gain new fans.

Some things just don't change, and for some people, that's just fine . How can you explain 80s­tor,'s new album zooming to the top of the chans in no time flat after eight years and still the same sound?

Of the Big Three "art rock" bands of the 1970S - Genesis: Yes; and Emerson. Lake and

Palmer - only ELP has main­tained its integrity. Lers face it, Yes has be<:ome a pale imitation of itself and Genesis is, ..... ell. a vehicle for Phii Collins' imitation of Uonel Richie. But ELP - it may have changed thE "P" from (Carl) Palmer to (Cozy) Powell, but the lrio is just as bombastic, preten­ti?IJS and, dare it be said, enier­taining as it was at its height of popularity in 19n.

Emerson, Lake and Powell closed the 1986 SDSU Open Air Theatre season Saturday before a less-than-capacity crowd. But never no mind, these peopie were starved for a genuine "rock show," and they weren't to be de­nied a ctlance 10 flici< their Sic's and wave their fists in IhEl air . ELP may not be on the cutting edge, b~t frankly, they don't gjve a damn.

Upon a pyramid-laden stage, the trio launched into what can be described as an exercise in rock p~etentlol.isnes~ at its best, Who else would have t."l!.: nerve to inter­pret works by Ginistera, Mussorg-

s~y. Aavr:1 an-=! Copland in a rocK vein and get away with it? And atter viewing numerous rock acts trying to "out-normalize" each other, it was actually refreshing.
