Seven came, and with it came the Grateful Dead. It had been almost a year since people in Oregon had had a chance to see the Dead, and the audience was ready for a good concert. The first set, which started with "Mississippi Half Step," lasted two hours, and was mostly songs that the Dead have recorded in the last four or five years. New songs in the first set were a slow ballad called "Maybe It Was the Roses," a fast, almost rock and roll tune that I didn't catch the name of, and two songs that will be on the Dead's next album, "Money Money," and the "U.S. Blues." In the second set, the Dead played songs that allowed for more jamming, with the longest jams coming from "The Water Suite" and "Truckin'." My favorite song in the second set was "Big River," a song the Dead have been doing for a while, but have never recorded. The crowd at the concert was, on the whole, pretty well mannered and the concert had very few hassles. The main problem was the fact that the floor was lined with rows and rows of chairs. The purpose of the chairs was to provide for orderly exit, but the chairs only crowded people together, making the aisles solid walls of people with no room to move around. The chairs also encouraged people to stand up on them, blocking the view of the people behind. The only word that describes the quality of the music is good —the - U of 0 pottery dept, presents ERAMIC SALE EMU Terrace Thursday <$ Friday May 23rd and 24th, 1974 10am-5pm Dead were the Dead. Donna Jean Godchaux's vocals were the only part of the music that I found lacking. I've always felt that Godchaux tries to do things with her voice that it simply isn't strong enough to do. Keith Godchaux's piano was not featured as much as it has been other times I've seen the Dead, and the songs tended to be shorter, with a lack of extended jams. All in all, the Grateful Dead gave everyone in the audience reason to say, "thank you, for a real good time." Everyone left the Coliseum feeling good and understanding why Bill Graham introduces the Grateful Dead as, "the best rock and roll band in the world." ‘Stiff’ poets... (Continued from Pagel) etches a scene and then peoples it, leaving the impression that the humans are the more ephemeral element. Of the three poets, Siegel leans closest to originality and depth. The audience was receptive and appreciative of this poetry that seemed to lie mostly on the level of confessions. Considering the relatively few opportunities people have to listen to poets, I am not surprised. I only hope that more Eugene poets will schedule readings to at least allow a comparison of quality. The audience is more than willing to listen and appreciate.
