A setting of mountains and wispy clouds overhead in combination with eclectic lighting helped convey and enhance the meaning of the song as well as setting the mystical tone for several of the songs. But enough of the intelllectual dissertation on semi-relevant tangents; what about the music? The guitar sound of Bruce Watson and Stuart Adamson was akin to Phil Spector’s wall of sound. With the steady rhythm section of Tony Butler on bass and the booming beat of drummer Mark Brzezicki, the Spenda guitars not only hammered away at your senses, but the subtleties that emerged from note to note within that wall of sound were overwhelming. The band showed that they were accomplished craftsmen by not solely relying nor ex ploiting their commercial successes. But like the song they opened with, the fluctuation between showmanship and musical virtuosity may have slowed them down.

This not only makes it harder to inform the audience that it’s time to be quiet, but it detracts from the concert to be so aware of the well-lit, outlandish costume of the person sitting close by. As for Arts and Lectures, I can only hope they keep up the good work by bringing more fine musicians to UCSB. 'Greek'... (Continued from pg.8A) into you. The struggle against them ends. Everything in the play is designed so this will happen. Simple costumes, almost no props, and a kitchen table with four chairs make up the technical wizardry here. The focal point becomes the hypnotic effect of the language. The question is: Can you stand it? Greek is a retelling of the Oedipus legend, set in modern day London. A glossary of British slang is thoughtfully provided in the program, but few audience members were busy looking up unfamiliar words during the performance. What didn’t come across in verbal description came across in action. Familiarity with the original play wasn’t a requirement for the experience either. Greek has achieved a certain timelessness on it’s own. Berkoff has created an entirely different play with only the most essential plot elements retained from the Sophoclean tragedy. John Francis, an original member of the L.A. production, played the role of Eddie with relish. Obscenities floated from his lips in ways that can not be described in the daily news. Above the obvious fun he was having in springing the slimy images on the audience, was an athletic discipline unique to superior actors. Not only did he understand the role, but he pounced on it and tore its throat out. The small company of four all latched on to their roles with vise-like strength. One of the most devastating moments of the evening was a lengthy monologue delivered by the sphinx, portrayed in the play by Dinah Anne Rogers. The utter contempt the sphinx feels for all that Eddie is manifests itself in a spray of insults that reveal a profound un derstanding of the causes of division between man and woman.
