However, the lack of intelligible vocals did not detract from the audience’s enjoyment, as they seemed to already know each song’s words by heart. The Dirt Band kicked off the show with a fifteen-song, 65- minute set of high-spirited music that have all had their days on the airwaves. The set differed from the group’s previous shows. There was a noticeable lack of the ballads that tend to dilute the energy the band brings to the stage. A highlight of the Dirt Band’s portion of the dual-headline bill was a rousing rendition of Bob Dylan’s “You Ain’t Going Nowhere,” which filled the Field House aisles with jitterbug­ ging couples dressed in tight pants, big belt buckles and black hats. The band’s recent FM success ‘Tishin’ in the Dark” brought the crowd to its feet as guitarists Jeff Hanna and Jimmy Ibbotson did a mean Chuck Berry duck-walk across the stage. A rocking version of Springsteen’s “Cadillac Ranch” closed the set and paved the way for a lively rendition of “Will Ben Conard/Kaimin the Circle be Unbroken” that showcased each member of the NITTY GRITTY Dirt Band leader Jeff Hanna(left) and Jimmy Ibbotson wrap-up "Workln' Man (Nowhere to band’s musical ability. Go)." Below members of Sawyer Brown perform "Dance With Me" Friday night In the fieldhouse. After a brief set change, Sawyer Brown took the stage. The aptly named “Smokin’ in the Rockies” started their 90-minute set. Lead singer and songwriter Mark Miller put on a frenetic dancing exhibition that left this reviewer awestruck. At times it appeared that Miller had been hooked directly into a power grid of the Grand Coulee Dam. Fortunately Miller used a “Madonna Mike” or he would have ended up looking like a fork wrapped in spaghetti. The set was punc luated by an acoustic rendition of “Dance With Me” which brought the entire group to center stage, where they used mandolin, melodica, bongos and acoustic guitars in an unusual polyrythmic jam. Sawyer Brown’s former top 10 hit “Betty’s Being Bad” featured a sizzling keyboard solo by Gregg Hubbard that brought even the most jaded true-country fan to his feet. Sawyer Brown closed the show with a pop version of the country classic “The Race is On.” The muddy acoustics at the concert may have resulted from stacked speakers instead of a flying system made possible by the new grid system. The Dirt Band really benefited from 25 years of exposure. The crowd already knew the words of the songs and there fore didn’t really notice the serious acoustical problems of the hall. Sawyer Brown, with less radio exposure, suffered from the audience’s inability to understand most of the lyrics.
