"It's A Beautiful Day" in Concert
'Beautiful Day' Beautiful
By JEFF KENNEDY
Kansan Reviewer
Everyone who saw the first show of "It's A Beautiful Day" band had been told too good should have stayed for the second show. The problems with the microphones and the sound seemed to bring the hand down with it were largely cleared up and we heard some very interesting sounds.
SUA deserves our thanks for a good show despite several difficulties. The "Paul Winter Consort" could not come so SUA had to hurriedly find someone SAU thought the Ace Trucking choice. They also had to deal with some backstage problems.
One of the equipment men for "Beautiful Day" was arrested for smoking a cigarette, a heinous crime in anyone's book. They also had to help to help someone with a little trouble with his mind.
I FOUND THE humor of the
At the first show during the improvisations the audience called for them to improvise a scene that would have supposedly full of dope, rolled a six-foot joint, and smoked most of it until a knock at the door forced a male entertainer to eat a woman. It was a strange scene to imagine.
Ace Trucking Co. an enjoyable respite from some semi-tailored back-up band which has slowed down many concerts.
The type of improvisational comedy the Ace Tracking Co. is doing has produced many of the films that he graces the theater and the movies. I extend my sorrow to a film he has been offended by their comedy.
"IT'S A BEAUTIFUL Day" certainly lived up to my expectations, heavily damaged by the bad microphones and a trace of it hindered the vocals later. The sound was considered as the public address system improved, which made for a good second show.
They are all very competent musicians with Val Furstenon on bass, Larry Eggert on guitar, Mitchell Holman on bass and harmonica, and Fred Webb
The secret of the group's success is David Laflamme, however. His violin playing is the key to the structures of their music. Along with Don Fennelly, he is one of the most important of the violinists in rock music. His innovations are likely to be farreaching as evidenced by several fairly new groups, most notably
LAFLAMME'S vocal ability has always been a dominant factor in their music and his singing in their final song, "Anytime," which will be on a new album. It was good indicator of his talent.
Review: 'Little Big Man'
BY BARBARASCHMIDT
Arthur Penn, in directing this his seventh film (Remembr "Bonnie & Clyde" and "Alice the Restaurant?"), has again shown high quality within each professional proficiency on the long prairie shoots, the vicious yet humorous fights between Indians and white men and the massacre scenes are all handled with a sense of detail and excitement.
BUT EVEN PENN'S experienced directorial eye can't calm down a script with wanderlust. The story itself is fairly simple. Somebody in the 1860s, 1870year Jack Crabb and his team massacre and are kidnapped by another tribe of indians, the
"Little Big Man" wobbles across the screen in solid good humor, but humor is the only thing that makes it a movie. movies consist of many superbly handled elements that simply never hook together to form a whole story.
Human Beings. The Indians want nothing more than to help the two children, but Jack's sister suspects them of imminent harm. She takes them under the wing of the Human Being's chief and is adopted as his grandson. When he reaches manhood, Jack in named after him. He explains that Jack may be little in size, but he is big in heart).
WHEN THE U.S. Cavaliers were along, killing his right and left, he was certain at death at the hands of the cavalry by revealing himself as a man who would not be killed.
This is only the beginning. For the next two hours Jack wanders through the film going back and forth from leading a white man's life to living as an Indian. Apparently the only thing that sends him away is existence to another is the immediate necessity for survival.
Basically that is the sum total of the plot, but there are so many superfluous episodes thrown in along the way that "Little Big
Pattie Sinton does everything she tries beautifully. Her and David's vocals were damaged by the sound problem which was the only low point to a fine concert. Even if she didn't sing, her guitar has billed herself as a good musician witnessed by "Bomby Calling."
I enjoyed "Hoedown" as much as anything they played. David's voice inspired visions of people whose shirts move around a straw-strewn barn floor. Two newer songs, "Bitter Wine" and "Anytime" were very nice and immediately to invest in their next album
All things considered it was really a beautiful night.

joy of theatrical accomplishment. But the old version of Crabb serves no purpose whatsoever in the movie. Apparently the producers wanted an advertising gimmick to entice viewers into the theater to see the play and play a man four times his age.

"Little Big Man" is fun to watch because of those bits and pieces in the movie, like humor. But the way it looks now "Little Big Man" is nothing but a badly organized potpourri of all stone scenes and performances.
JACK CRAB appears at the beginning of the movie as a 12-18-year-old about his experiences as an Indian fighter and as "the adam" of the film.
