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.

* hawks' opening set, the lights went out,
and the band marched on stage. 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

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?" After not being si
able to listen to all the answers thrown "s

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.

not rock as much as Maypole, although
the audience seemed a little
more excited about the group's
performance. *
The Jayhawks were more mellow
with an increased focus on harmony
and piano influences. 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. But Maypole and the Jayhawks
should be thanked for adding
some diversity to the show.
