Performance praiseworthy

‘he introduced the song ‘‘Biko’’

Bowie’s last, the audience was sub-
jected to an echo effect the likes of
which I had never heard before —
in comparison, the PNE Coliseum
sounds accoustically perfect. Given
the millions of dollars spent on this
stadium and the fact that one of its
prime uses is for concerts, the
designer could have come up with
something better. Of course, it’s
just another example of Socred in-
genuity.

The second set belonged to ex-
leader of the art-rock group
Genesis, Peter Gabriel, from
whom I had expected a semi-
political performance dealing with
social isues ranging from peace to
alienation. But halfway through, I
was surprised and delighted when
he dedicated his hit single, “‘Shock
the Monkey,’’ to the black people’s
struggle in Africa. And when
Gabriel came on for his encore, in-
stead of playing one of his may hits,

dyrics borrowed from South
Africa), about South African stu-
dent leader Steven Biko who died in
a police detention centre.

As the song was ending, Gabriel
raised his right fist and shook it in
support of the South African strug-
gle. His final words for the evening
were, ‘“‘It’s now up to you.”

In contrast, Bowie’s perfor-
mance was a let-down. Bowie is liv-
ing on his past great hits of the early
70s. His musical compositions still
indicate he is a superb musician,
but his cynical lyrics epitomize the
decaying society in which we live.

After seeing this concert, I feel
that it is extremely important for
newspapers such as the Tribune to
promote progressive musicians.
For it is through people such as

‘Peter Gabriel that we can build

hope for a better society, to replace
cynicism and apathy.
