Audience wen
Jimi Hendrix once did a show at Fillmore ; he went
and did all of his hits. The crowd, of course, went
*ld. Afterwards, Hendrix went backstage and asked
Bill Graham what he thought of the show. Graham
told him that he was disappointed, that he had hoped
that Hendrix would go beyond the hits and show the
audience what a good blues guitar was all about.
This is basically what happened Friday night at the
Carolina Coliseum. Dionne Warwicke came out and
did her patented Bacharach-David songbook and
made the audience scream with pleasure.

However, it was disappointing because she didn't
do anything but her hits. The lastest thing that spraq
out were a couple of songs from "Promises,
Promises," a show that opened in 1969.
This is not to say, of course, that it was a bad show.
On the contrary, it was an extremely good show. The
audience went home happy, the sound was way above
average.
Ms. Warwicke started her show with an extremely
effective piece of showmanship. The lights were
turned out, and from the darkness came, with no
introduction, Dionne's voice, "Make it easy on
yourself." It was the kind of thing that makes the hair
on the back of your neck stand up.
She came out and talked to the audience. She told
them about how she had made a demonstration
record of "Close to You" and how the Carpenters had
made a hit of it. She told the audience how she had
made another,demo, "One Less Bell to Answer" and'
how the Fifth Deminsion had sold close to four million
copies of it. Shemade catty remarks about Barbra
Streisand redoing a favorite song of hers. She wished
us luck against Georgia. Generally, the kind of talk
an audience eats up.
Her voice was superb and she put on a really fine
show, but couldn't she have done something besides
her hits?
Dionne Warwicke links with the past did not stop
with her solid gold. Her warm-up group, "The Con
stellations" were something right out of The Temp
tations era. Their clothes were identical, garish
concoctions that Porter Wagoner wouldn't be caught
dead in. They looked kind of like the Supremes in
drag.
Their music was even worse, unless of course you
cherish 1963 soul music' with accompanying
choreography.
It might be unkindly said that Dionne keeps the
Constellations around because no matter how bad she
is, she looks good beside them.
All in all, the Dionne Warwicke Concert served its
purpose. The audience went home happy, the Con
cert Committee made some money and as someone
said "It kept the adults off of the streets."

Duane Allman is dead.
Duane died Friday night from
head and chest injuries he received
when his motorcycle struck the
rear of a truck near his home in
Macon, Georgia.
The Allman Brothers Band lead
guitarist was pronounced dead at
8:30 p.m. at the Medical Center of
Central Georgia, a little over two
hours after he was admitted.
Charles Wertz, the driver of the
truck, told police that he had just
finished making a turn on a city
street when "I saw a motorcycle
about 20 feet behind my truck. I
slowed and heard a crash. I saw a
boy lying on the pavement with a
cycle overturned and going as fast
as it could. I walked over and
turned it off." No charges were
filed against Wertz.
