Wallflowers MARIO ONA Staff Writer ^ Ignoring the many empty seats and large amount of floor space, The Wallflowers delivered a strong performance for those present. It had all the elements of a good show: They played all of their hits, did a couple of covers, had an appropriate stage set up, and the head Wallflower, Jakob Dylan, flirted, taunted and talked to the audience. a.

Dylan wore dark dress slacks, a matching vest and a butterfly-collar shirt. With the exception of the drummer, all the band members were wearing dark suits, some were pinstripe and v others were three-piece. The keyboard player had a Panama Jack hat that complemented his lit cigar. The band was dressed appropri W ately for their stage set up. Garnet and white drapes hung high behind the band. The two chandeliers and the wooden square columns that were used to support some of the lighting equipment gave the stage a Victorian ballroom motif. The band opened the show with a Rod Stewart cover, "Tonight's The Night." Dylan kept his one-leg-crossed ; entertain sn over-the-other stance almost through- at out the first two songs. Once in a while, et he would walk back near the drums w and then return to his stance to sing. At first, the band seemed serious ai and lacking charisma. As the show con- "( tinued, the group lightened up and made in it a fun concert. A The band played "One Head Light," which also received a mild uproar. Then D they played "Bleeders," "Three Mar- a' lenas" and "Sugarfoot" from their cl first album. w "I It was at this point that Dylan be gan to interact witn tne audience, ne , gave a coquettish smile to the young ^ teen-age girls who were pressed up , against the stage guard. He asked the audience to "listen e? to songs of our old album with as much n, enthusiasm as the ones form the new H album." After asking the audience mem- si bers if they were enjoying them- S1 selves, he warned them, "It is only go- a< ing to get better!" a The band played a long version of "6th Avenue Heartache" in which Dy- m lan introduced the band in the middle tl of the song. st The flirting continued, and the fans af loved it. The level of euphoria began to rise. Dylan asked the audience, "What ei do you want to hear?"

The band played an energetic ver- prj on of "The Difference" to finish the low. The group's encore included an loustic version of "Invisible City" and | second hard-rocking song.

Many of the songs were off the band's new album, The Sound of Lies, although the group did play one of its most DODular songs. "I'd Runaway." from its album Tomorrow the Green Grass. Both bands thanked The Wallflowers for bringing them on the tour.
