Thin Lizzy overpowers BY JOHN McNULTY KANSAN
Thin Lizzy overpowers crowd with sound
Revlewe
I woke up the morning after the Thin Lizzy concert still hearing a steady din as if I were listening to the sound of the ocean through an abalone shell over each ear. Luckily, though, the din was considerably less in volume than during the concert.
Thin Lizzy, which played before an audience of about 2,700 in Kansas City's Memorial Hall Saturday night, was mildly exciting through the first three or four songs. But the constant driving heavy metal beat mixed with screaming screens became loud ladenness with only three songs breaking the monotony.
ONE SONG, "Dancing in the Moonlight," enclosed the tension with its easygoing rhythm, which was accented by smooth saxophone playing by a non-band member. Robertson's blues number that featured guitarist Robbie Robertson. A drum solo by Brian Downey,

even though it was not too complicated,
provided excitement because of Downey's
stamina and because it provided relief from
the volume.
The garbled lyrics of singer and bassist Philip Lynton added to the cacophony, but Lynett was a crow pleaser who compelled an audience into a frivolous with her facial style.
Crowd pleasing and straightforward heavy metal rock is Tim Lizzy's game. The group has managed to gain a small following in the United States and to be recognized as one of the top bands in their native England.
THIN LIZZY is made up of four accomplished musicians and showmen who have chosen to go after the hard rock market and have played that market well.
FBI report links militants to Cuba, North Vietnam
NEW YORK (AP)—A top-secret FBI report said the Weather Underground, a militant antiterror group, received aid from Iran and was targeted by the New York Times has reported.
The report in yesterday's edition was based on information from the CIA, foreign intelligence agencies, foreign and American police agencies, electronic surveillance and
The Times said the FBI prepared the report in August 1976 for its defense in a Justice Department investigation of alleged FBI burglaries, wristlets and illegal mail openings aimed at apprehending Weatherman fuititives.
According to the Times report, the FBI had hoped to prove Weatherman members
we are operating as foreign agents in the late 1960s and early 1970s and therefore we legitimate targets for counterintelligence efforts. But, the BFI found only a few links between the Weather Underground and foreign powers, according to the article.
THE REPORT SAID a group of intelligence agents assigned to the Cuban mission to the United Nations in New York and as contacts for militant American youths.
It also said Cuban officials helped several Weather Underground members who feared arrest in the United States to leave the country, stay in a Communist country for a short time and then return to the United States in secret.
Justice department considering deadline extension for ERA
WASHINGTON (AP)—The Justice Department is preparing an opinion on whether Congress can extend the seventy year deadline in 1972 for states to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment (ERA), Atty. Gniffen B. Bell said yesterday.
Bell said he knew of no precedent for an extension. But he said the White House counsel, who asked for the opinion, had indeed there was an indirect precedent for it.
Thirty-five states have ratified the ERA and three more must do so by March 22, 1979, for the amendment to become part of the U.S. Constitution.
But worried about meeting that deadline,
some women members of Congress and White House backers of the ERA are seeking the extension, a move President Carter reportedly is prepared to support.
"He is committed to the ERA and will do anything to make sure it will pass." Judy Carter, the President's daughter-in-law, said in a weekend interview.
Bell said that in taking up the question of the extension the Justice Department also asked Mr. Clinton to rescind their ratification votes, as Tennessee, Nebraska and Idaho have decided to
Bell was interviewed on NBC-TV's "Meet the Press."
"Our stage show is basically spur-of-the-moment stuff." Gorham said. "We don't want to overuse effects, but we have to spend more money on them now in the past. The crowds expect gimmicks and the two-trees of lights days are over."
The group's showmanship and stage show are planned, guitarist Scott Gorham said Saturday, with the idea that few gimmicks will keep the crowd on its feet.
LYNOTW WAS clearly the leader of the band, leading the crowd in chants of "baby, baby, baby" and getting it to clap in unison by a snap of his fingers.
OLD CARPENTER HALL SMOKEHOUSE
Thin Lizzy's appearance was a welcome sight after an hour of the backup band, Graham Parker and The Runour. Singer-in-voice for his lookalike-looking expression, hid his eyes behind sunglasses as he preached nihilism to the audience through his lyrics. Parker's six-year-old daughter, Isabella, repeated words with a good beat of '80s style rock—but it was badly mixed with a
Smoky explosions began and ended the concert, the band members ran wildly around the stage, shrouded by smoke. Both were shocked, suspected, and the crowd reared with approval.
The car wash, which was held from 12:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, was sponsored by two service units of the KU Air Force ROTC, Arnold Air Society and Angel Flight. The car wash was a community service for the 20 students. They raised $76.10.
Mark Hammer, project chairman, said the students decided to donate the proceeds to Lawrence's Emergency Services Council (ESC), a community-sustained organization that assists families that are victims of unemployment or medical emergencies.
Braving strong winds and cold, 23 University of Kansas students washed cars in an effort to raise funds to help need area families survive during the coming winter.
Gorham said the group tried to get close to its audience, and he proved that Saturday night. It was close enough to be touched many times, and the smiles and laughs of people were heartfelt. A specific people in the audience were a nice change from actions of arrogant rock stars.
"WE FOUND OUT Emergency Services was broke," Hammer said. "Since they rely solely on the community and donations, we figured whatever we could give them would help out a lot. We thought a donation to them could probably help the community the most, especially with winter coming on and people facing higher bills."
The vast majority of the audience, though, came to hear Thin Lizzy on its first headline tour of the United States and to tell the band more about their sense enough of a follow to headliners.
Gorham said that the band looked on its fans as people with feelings and that to think band members were better than their fans they were rockstaras was ridiculous.
"WE'RE just a little bit bickier than them, that's all." he said.
Members of the ESC include such community agencies as Penn House, Ballard Community Center, the Salvation Army, the University Center of Lawrence, and Minority Affairs.

A large water main broke and spewed water but caused no damage near Eighth and New Hampshire streets Saturday afternoon.
"This was a pretty bad one." George the water main, said yeset the crew that fixed the water main, said yeset.
PARKER HAS MANaged to gather a few loyal fans, and one group of them came out in support.
Several small stores on Eighth Street between New Hampshire and Massachusetts Streets were without water he said, but restaurants were not.
Gorham said audiences had been responsive so far on the tour. Judging from last night's concert, This Lazy Will be able to do much more as the fans still have their hearing, that is.
