Spotlight 8 * Wednesday, April 2, 1986 Review ZZ Top sh Hurinn nori UUI IIIU |JUI I By BOB KUDELKA Staff writer It was hard to resist the temptation to strum the old air-guitar while watching ZZ Top perform Saturday night at the Coliseum. Although they played for only 85 minutes, the Texas trio combined polished musical skills, a charismatic stage presence and a dazzling laser display to entertain the sold-out crowd. The band had an unusual but effective onenino1 n hlnrlf rnrtnin opened and revealed a 20-foot high Egyptian Sphynx behind the stage. Two thin, red beams of light shot from the eyes to center stage. The three band members then appeared in front of a large automobile dashboard, eomplete with a steering wheel and lighted i dials. They then played "Got Me i Under Pressure" to the delighted crowd. i Frank Beard played drums 1 atop the dashboard while guitarist Billy Gibbons and bassist Dustv Hill strutted m the front of the stage.

Gibbons warned anyone who had used drugs or alcohol not to drive home, and then played "Arrested for Driving While Blind" from the Tejas album. During "Legs" from the album Eliminator, a laser projected the image of a woman in provocative positions on a screen hanging from the ceiling. For the last part of the show, the automobile dashboard representing ZZ Top's trademark ? a 1933 Ford ? transformed itself into a spaceship's interior with working television monitors. Highlighting the encores was "La Grange" from the Tres Hombres album. ZZ Top ended the concert with "Tush." a Cash" I st Donation j Donation | $ $ j ;MA CENTER Street 1 arolina 29201 [ !

Director Russell Green, a pro lessor in the department, has cut the play almost in half from its usual running time of three to four hours. "I've worked to revise the structure, to clarify the play and to cut it to a reasonable time length for people's rumps," Green said. Green is also trying to clear up the play's cloudy points and update archaic words. f$l?7"iNici-N-r i MON THUR I I -4 FRI i; Get Into (next to Burger King on L I Swimsuit ! ?l All c.
