confident during the song.
After that, they never looked back. The ■
show emphasized songs from "Avalon" and
the recent live mini album -TJi/High Road,"
but Roxy threw in a few unexpected
surprises.
The most entrtaining of them was Man-
zanera's instrumental showcase Impossible
Guitar" from his most recent solo LP, "Prim¬
itive Guitars." The group (minus Ferry,
Mackay.and the backup singers) was at its
daring "Impossible Guitar," and
Manzanera's guitar work was stunning.
The best crowd response was for "Love Is
The Drug," the group's well-known hit from
1975. During this and other dance-oriented
numbers, Ferry did some awkward but
endearing dance moves while the band an
audience swayed along.
Roxy Music closed out the show with
"Editions of You," a driving rocker from
their second album. Especially entertaining
was Keyboardist Guy Fletcher's synthes¬
izer solo, which cleverly recreated ex-
member Brian Eno's solo on the original
After the song, the members of Roxy,
looking somewhat surprised at the crowd's
rapturous response, walked off smiling and
waving. The crowd demanded that they
return, and when th«y dki Ferry asked with
a grin, "Do you want something?"
Roxy then launched into one of their big¬
gest British hits, "Do The Strand." They
finished the encore with their moving ver¬
sion of John Lennon's "Jealous Guy."
The sound in the gym was surprisingly
good. Roxy Music's thick and subtle tex¬
tures sounded crisp, although Andy Mack-
ay's sax didn't always cut threOgh, at least
near the stage. The sound irf the back was
reportedly better. '
The young Los Angeles group Berlin
opened the show. Best known for their hit
"Sex (I'm A...)," the synthesizer-oriented
gToup was fronted by Terri Nunn, who
looked like a cross between Stevie nicks and
Dale Bozzio of Missing Persons.
Berlin was relatively forgettable; their
songs weren't distinctive and their sound
was poor (especially the vocals and guitars).
Their theatrics on "Sex (I'm A...)" were
clever, however, and Nunn was engaging
throughout. The crowd response to Berlin
was enthusiastic, and they were called back
All in all. the Vintage Days show was a
rousing success. Roxy Music's slick and
powerful show must have won some new
fans for them. Fresno was lucky to be the
first United States city to witness Ferry and
company's powerhouse 1983 tour. If Fri¬
day's show was any indication, this may be
the year that Roxy will finally break through
in this country.

Back at the Intramural Field, the Push
Carl competition was underway, as par¬
ticipants pushed metal-framed carts a
total of 330 yards each round, for time.
After several rounds had been'success-
mpleted,  the
rainclouds bursted into an unmerciful
downpour, sending everyone scurrying
under judges' tables, into cars, under a
stranger's umbrella, or any other kind of
shelter they could find. In between sud¬
den spurts of rain and hail, the judges
made two more attempts to resume the
competition, but Mother Nature seemed
Later Saturday evening the boomtown
Carnival got off to a somewhat wet and
shaky start, but drew a considerable
crowd nevertheless. Amidst the smell of
barbecued chicken and steak in the air,
the carnival offered a "variety of food
persistent in setting her own record and
the event was cancelled.
"Everybody go home!" the judges
advised through the bullhorn,
jooths, as well as novelty-type stands
such as the Boomtown Pokey (complete
with pseudo-policeman and prisoners),
marriages and divorces for 50 cents, a
record toss, a horse-show toss, a cartoo¬
nist, and a "Try your Strength — Ring the
Bell" booth, among others.
The Saturday events were concluded
by the Air Guitar concert in the CSUF
Amphitheatre that night.
