RADICAL FIL PRESEI ANDY WARM jam to play 'Mankynde' By FARGO BERMAN A really standard concert. Someone got a fake "0" ink stamp which the auditorium workers were using for admis- siorl and several without stamp or ticket forced their way in and the EMU Activities Board stands a possibility of losing money on the Traffic perform- ance. The people refused to go back to their seats before Traffic came on and the management gave up. Converted Bowen Field house had basketball court acoustics-those up front had ears blasted, those in back were mighty far back. And of course, the crowd loved it-there was a lot of dope circulating. Skip VanWinkle on organ and Dave Teegarden on drums did the first set, bothfine perfor- mers and Teegarden getting everything possible out of a standard set of drums with tambourine mounted on his hi- hat. They originally hail from Oklahoma though now con- sidered a local act and do a sort of country thing. Theiract al- ways becomes numbing after twenty minutes because they just can't get enough variety out of just drums and organ but they had the crowd up and about at the end of a 45 minute set with "God, Love, Rock & Roll." Interested in adding some horns and perhaps some orches- tration, the boys as yet can not afford to, thanks in part to poor record company promotion of their first two album efforts. Their third album, probably just entitledy "Teegarden and VanWinkle," will be out about Christmas time. Of course Traffic was very good. Of course their songs are the best there are today in con- temporary pop. Of course Win- wood's super child's edge far- ranging voice was something you would not want to miss. And it was extremely disap- pointing. They started off with a new rock tune, did a rockish rendi- tion of "Pearly Queen," and then from the latest album, "Empty Pages." On "Pages," leader Steve Winwood, who switched off between guitar and organ thru the show, played electric piano which came over the sound system with a jarring tinniness almost psychedelic but threatening to shatter an eardrum. God bless 'em the group did a little fenagling with the sound system and came on with drummer Jim Capaldi's fantas- tic "Roaming thru the Gloam- ing with 40,000 Headmen On My Trail," with; Winwood on acoustic guitar and Wood un- able for much of the song to get a working mike to play the important flute licks, but the group started playing more to- gether this song and following doing almost exclusively num- bers from their second and third albums, Traffic and John Bar- COME TO TOWN and COUNTRY RESTAURANT Fine Food Chops, Steaks, &Shrimp Soul Food Home Cooked Open Pit Barbeque --Open- 6 a.m. till 9 p.m.-Mon.-Thurs. 6 a.m. till 3 a.m.-Fri.-Sat. 8 a.m. till 7:30 p.m.-Sunday 730 NORTH MAIN Delivery and Catering ,769-2330 On Friday and Saturday, 13 and 14 Nov., The Poculi Ludique Societas will present Mankunde, a fifteenth century morality play, at eight p.m. in Trueblood Aud. Poculi Ludique Societas is a theatre society from the Univer- sity of Toronto devoted to the production of medieval drama. Formed in 1964, the group is made up of undergraduate and graduate students and Univer- sity of Toronto faculty. Under the direction of Paul Baker, the Societas has performed numer- ous mystery and morality plays from the fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth centuries includ- ing Noah' Flood, Cain and Abel, the Adoration of the Magi, the Death 'ofHerod and Everyman. They have also produced the York Passion Play and several sixteenth century comedies. Their audiences have covered areas of the United States and Canada and they are presently filming six episodes from the Chester cycle of plays for edu- cational television. For their production of Man- kynde, the players use medieval music to set the mood, which re- quires that the audience sense themselves as being close to the play. The religious framework of the play-the personification of moral characters-is obvious and emphatic. The focus of the play moves back and forth be- tween the hero and the audi- ence, involving everyone in the fate of Mankynde. Poculi Ludique Societas ap- pears on the University campus under the joint sponsorship of the University Players and the English department. Seats are $1.50 and may be purchased at the Trueblood Box Office. BULLETIN The Daily Official Bulletin is an official publication of the Univer- sity of Michigan.

And Versa. " ...images leycorn (Last Exit was an album pieced together by the company to capitalize when the group broke up). Again going acoustic, Win- wood and Capaldi sang a mel- low folksy "John Barleycorn" and then the group got into a super-rhythm version of "Glad" with Chris Wood playing wah- wah sax. Called back for more after finishing with "Freedom Rider," Traffic encored with "Means to an End," and a fan- tastic "Dear Mr. Fantasy," Win- wood playing just a 15 second super guitar riff showing he could be Jimmy Page if he wanted and the group finally, with the impact that could make a concert indelible, if the drive were present during just half the total performance. It was a shame not to hear more of Chris Wood's flute and electric sax. A bummer not to hear any electric violin from Ric Grech who has joined the group (after Family and Blind Faith) and spent the night play- ing fine bass and lousy guitar, though admittedly the guitar gave him a lot of tuning trouble. And the group only infrequently clicked like they do nearly every second of their albums. No one was robbed, there was just a rival spark missing. Chris, Wood says the group likes play-r ing the States more than Eng-s land 'cause here the peoplec cheer or boo vigorously and jump and get excited, while int England it's often "like playing ENDS WEDNESDAY to a brick wall." Here is a group that can eat your heart out with its unity-Wood notes that the only real hassle in putting to- gether their forthcoming album (due any time now) is indecision about the album cover and title -but Sunday night you could just as well have listened to their records at home. The only way you could have gotten ecstatic listening to the Traffic concert was by Pon- vincing yourself that you felt so, and if more people had demand- ed a really exciting performance instead of dopily believing they got one, perhaps something dy- namic would have evolved in- stead of having the greatest, non-show, musical, jazz-rock- ballad group do just another one night stand on a cross country tour. Of course, it could be the ab- sence of Dave Mason, who is now playing on his own, though the group's first album was fins, enough without him. Or too many one-nighters. Or oad as- trology. Traffic was very good doing some great songs and it sure was not enough. The Michigan Daily, edited and man- agec, by students at the University of Michigan. News phone: 764-0552.
