Rain dampens fun
Concert bands engage crowd
By EDITII WOOTEN
Staff Writer
Although it was wet, the Carolina Concert for Children wasn't
a wash out. ,
About 3,000 people turned out Saturday to hear Grandmaster
Rash and the Furious Five, The Producers, U2 and Todd Rund
gren. The concert opened with Grandmaster Flash, a funk group
from New York City made popular by a type of music called
"rap."
The band improvised its own vocals to pre-recorded music in
response to the audience. Dressed in costumes ranging from a
white leather cowboy outfit to a police uniform, the seven mem
bers danced and interacted with the crowd as they sang to dance
music.
The next band, The Producers, a relatively new band from
Atlanta, has developed, a sound called "progressive pop."
Made popular by the hit "What's He Got" and more recently,
"She Sheila," the band combines the effects of studio production
with the spontaneity of live performance.
U2's lead singer, Bono from Dublin, Ireland, thanked everyone
for coming to the opening of the band's third American tour.
"We'd like to thank you for making it rain today so it would be
more like home for us," he said.
After climbing to a scaffold on top of a pole. Bono surveyed
the crowd as he sang "Sunday, Bloody Sunday," a song which
protests war and public apathy. .
When he came down from his perch, Bono explained his climb.
"Sometimes you have to do things like that to prove that even
though we're 15 yards apart, you've still gotta' break through."
Throughout the set, he continued to leap on and off the stage,
keeping stagehands busy rearranging the long cord which con
nected him with the speakers and the audience.
And the crowd responded.
Forgetting about the rain, people moved as one to the front to
dance and get closer to the singer as he pushed up against the
fence between him and his fans.
Alternating between a Stein way grand piano and guitars, Todd
Rundgren entertained true fans, who braved the downpour, with
his parodies and witticisms and a rapport which was enhanced by
the smaller, more intimate, enthusiastic crowd.
He, too, decided to get wet by getting closer to people who
again left their seats and umbrellas to participate in the music.
All of the bands played encores. Again and again they com
plimented people for braving the elements. ', .
Although the show lost $30,000 to $40,000, the people who
went seemed to enjoy the concert.
The event went without many of the problems such as in
juries and technical trouble which had affected previous concerts.'

"Maybe it's a generational thing." .
