Lipizzaners were ridden through a two-man exercise len
demonstrating riding lines and figures with mirror-image pai
precision. The animals behaved beautifully and the riders fol
were reslendant in white pants, boots and tuxedo-type aui
jackets. ]
Following the "pas de deux," Ellian Rosaire and her pr<
Palomino mount demonstrated classical riding in- fev
terpretations in sidesaddle. The Palomino was beautiful old

The Lippizzaners returned to the show with a demon- Lij
stration of the various skills they learn in the classical ev<
school of equestrain art. The audience was shown the steps Ab
and movements of schooled horses in hand, on the long rein wa
and in the saddle. 1
A horse performing on the long rein, in which the rider Ca
stands on the ground and controls the horse with the use of bal
his hands, is an example of the most well-trained Lip- nru
pizzaner stallion. The horse lets himself be dominated and gr<

A special presentation of the Spanish Andalusion stallion, I

The Eagles flew into the the Carolina Coliseum on
Wednesday night and treated the crowd to some of the best
music contemporary entertainment has to offer.
After a brief, but very impressive performance by the
Amazing Rhythm Aces, the anticipation was mounting
heavily as the stage was being prepared for what would be
one of the best concerts Columbia has ever witnessed.
Usually at concerts by very popular bands, the opening
act is not given much attention. The audience was in high
spirits and showed much appreciation for the efforts
displayed oy me Amazing unytnm Aces.
As the lights went out and the Eagles took the stage, the
crowd went into a wild frenzy. They opened with the title
track from their 1976 album Hotel California. Joe Walsh
and Don Felder got the show off on the right foot by exchanging
some enthusiastic guitar leads. It was obvious
from the start that they were here to give the crowd their
money's worth.
My first encounter with the Eagles came in 1975 in
Roosevelt Stadium, Jersey City, N.J. The Eagles were
preceeded by Poco and Seals and Crofts. During the encores
of that show, of which there were nine, Joe Walsh
(who was not with the band at the time), J.D. Souther and
Dan Fogelberg joined the band for one of the best shows
I've ever seen.
1 went into the concert wondering if the Eagles would live
up to the great expectations I had of them. They lived up to
all of my expectations, and more.
The Eagles treated not only the people who have come to
enjoy their music recently, but gave us a taste of some of
their older classics such as "Already Gone," "Desperado",
and "One of These Nights."
The show featured a selection of some of the tunes from
their most recent album, The Long Run. Walsh got a chance
to be in the spotlight singing "In the City" and the newest
addition to the band, bassist Timothy Schmit was
highlighted during "I Can't Tell You Why".
"The Long Run" and "The Greeks Don't Want No
Freaks" were two of the best songs of the performance. The
audience went wild during both songs. "Heartache
Tonight" has been on the radio so much, one of the lines in
the song should be changed to "Before the 'hour' is through,
the radio's going to play this song".
Joe Walsh has definitely taken a big role in sound of the
band. This is evident by the songs from his solo efforts
that are now played by the Eagles, "Life's Been Good",
"Turn to Stone" and the first encore of Wednesday's
show, "Rocky Mountain Way".
In "Rocky Mountain Way", Walsh changed the words of
the first line of the song to "Spent the last year 'Carolina'
Way, couldn't get much higher" showing his appreciation
of the crowd.
i ne audience gave me band one of the warmenst
receptions I've ever seen here, and the band responded with
smiles, and numerous thank you's. They really seemed as if
they were having a great performing.
