October 3, 2001 Meredith Herald Campus Music Incubus rocked the Ritz, performing ‘electric’ show Christy Kimbali. Stan Reporter Electric is the only word for the atmosphere at the Ritz in Raleigh last Tuesday, Sept. 25, when the popular Southern California band Incubus played a sold- out concert. The energy was overwhelming in the small, crowded space at the Ritz, stuffed with people of all ages. The show opened with the band Hoobas- tank, also from South- ern California. Lead singer Douglas Robb promised every one a cd after the show and a chance to meet and greet the band, a definite crowd pleaser. Hoobastank pumped the crowd up for the reason they came, a chance to see and hear Incubus. Finally, all the waiting and sweating in the crowded room paid off when Incubus came on stage. Incubus did not disappoint. They played old favorites such as “Glass" and radio hits such as “Pardon Me," “Stel- “...all the waiting and sweating in the crowded room paid off when Incubus came on stage.” lar," and “Drive.” They also gave the audience a taste of their upcoming album Morning Light. The crowd seemed to enjoy the preview songs from the new album such as “Mexico” and “I Wish You Were Here.” The exceptional stage pres ence of Brandon Boyd kept the fans going all night. Throughout the night, the crowd passed fans to the stage. One of the more entertaining sights was when the crowd began pass ing a large garbage can toward the stage until security inter vened and stopped it. The entire show was magnetic. If people were not fans at the beginning of the night, then they were at the end. Some fans even ended up with Boyd’s shirt, who tossed it to the crowd when he walked off stage. Incubus came back to play two encore songs. NEED A PROFESSIONAI^ DJ FORA WEDDING RECEPTION OR CORPORATE EVENT??

Tribute fostered unity, hope Music Columnist Lynda Marie Taurasi Lynda Marie Taurasi Music Colimmist Musicians from my parents’ generation joined musicians from my generation to honor the thousands who died in the Sept. 11 ter rorist attacks in a televised music show called A Tribute to America on Friday, Sept. 22. The show's pur pose was to raise money for victims’ fami lies and to strengthen Ameri ca's resolve, but it actually did more than that. This time last year, I was in my room listening to all the great music from the late six ties and early seventies think ing, “this is when music meant something.” It occurred to me that my generation desperately needs a cause to give meaning to its music. 1 have watched countless documentaries about musicians of the seventies, which show the audience of today both their beautiful music and memo rable shows in support of their causes. Never would I have imag ined that an incident so cata strophic would unite musicians from my “cause-less” genera tion to perform a show so his toric that it puts Woodstock in a shadow. The show was broadcast live from undisclosed locations in New York, Los Angeles and London. Between each musical performance, actors spoke somber monologues honoring lost victims or ordinary people- who transformed into heroes on Sept. 11.^ Memorable performances were Paul Simon singing “Bridge Over Troubled Water,” Fred Durst and Wes Borland joining Goo Goo Doll Johnny Rzeznik for Pink Floyd’s “Wish You Were Here.” Wyclef Jean performed Bob Marley’s “Redemption Song,’’and Neil Young per formed John Lennon’s “Imag ine.” Willie Nelson led the finale with both actors and musicians singing “America the Beautiful."
