MUSIC
LITTLE STEVEN University Refectory At times during this gig it really seemed as if 'Miami' Steve's deftness of musical touch, as well as the Joe Walsh gypsy-chic, had de- serted him. Many would argue that music should be art, and not a vehicle for propaganda — no matter how worthy the cause. Little Steven obvious- ly disagrees. However, set- ting such purist objections aside, the music on offer was of immensely variable quali- ty. When on form, the group played rock of dazzling in- tensity: waves of guitar sound surging forward atop a razor-sharp pulse. Howev- er, these inspired moments (such as on 'Bitter Fruit', or the joyous 'If I Gave You My Heart [Would You Love Me Forever?)') were rare, sepa- rated by long periods of preaching — accompanied musically either by inactivity or indulgence. These weren't no disciples of soul, but they sure were one hell of a fine rock band when they decided to play.
