HOLLYWOOD (UPI)-The rock
concert phenomenon is steadily
increasing its impact on network
television, an ABC-TV announce-
ment made clear Tuesday.
In the announcement, the net-
work said it will present a three-
hour Rock Music Festival begin-
ning late in the night on Friday,
Apr. 27, and continuing into the
wee hours of the next day.
Stars will include Seals &
Crofts, Curtis Mayfield, Alice
Cooper, Bo Diddley, The Allman
Brothers Band, Poco, and Blood,
Sweat and Tears.
The broadcast will be twice as
long as the In Concert late night
rock shows that are presented
every other Friday. But it will
be part of that relatively new
series.
ABC-TV admits, however, that
the special "encompasses seg-
ments previously telecast" on its
In Concert series-in short, re-.

runs.
And, as with all the In Concert
outings, this broadcast will be
simulcast by a number of FM
stereo radio stations around the
country.
ABC-TV says the special is
"the first single continuous net-
work program of that length to
be devoted to contemporary mu-
sical sounds."
However, it is of viewer in-
terest, and competitive network
interest, that three consecutive
hours of rock and pop music
have been available for a while
through a combination of ABC-TV
and NBC-TV programming every
other Friday night and early
Saturday.
It might also be noted that
over at CBS-TV, there have been
plans to broadcast the blockbuster
rock festival movie Woodstock
this spring.
All of this may not exactly
all up to rock around the clock
at the video networks, but it
certainly is proof that the con-
servative broadcasting organiza-
tions have opened the doors much
wider to the newer music than
they used to, even if they really
don't feel too comfortable with
it.
High level network brass still
has a basically fox trot outlook.
By KEN ALTSHULER
and MIKE HARPER
The Beatles . . . the foursome
from Liverpool, England, who,
in the span of less than a decade,
redefined the word "music" and
wrote their ownchapter in en-
tertainment history. Beatlemania
in the sixties was screaming
teenagers, soldout Americancon-
certs, millions of dollars, and the
birth of a dream; a cohesive,
complete, ultra-talented, super-
human unit. Beatlemania today
is a fantasy destroyed at t h e
hands of the men who created it.
The Beatles disbanded.
The Beatles' past is written in
over twenty albums, scores of
singles, a musical company / re-
cording studio, fame, fortune, and
that mysterious touch of magic-
ianship. Their peak was Revol-
ver with "Eleanor Rigby" and
Sgt. Pepper's with "A Day in the
Life", but with Magical Mystery
Tour and their white album, their
splitting was obvious.
On the double album each Bea-
tle did his own work with limit-
ed support of each other; just
enough to be the Beatles in name,
but certainly not in perform-
ance. It must have been their in-
stinct of professionalism t h a t
made them create the incredi-
ble "Abbey Road" in the midst
of their break-up, but that w a s
their final group effort.
Separately, their four individual
histories are surprising and iron-
ic. The best soloist of the group,
without a doubt, is George Har-
rison. All Things Must Pass is
a great double album and would
have been a sensational single
disc. In guitarmanship he is next
to none, and his composing tal-
ent, which was suppressed under
Lennon/McCarthy, is now fully
developed.
Harrison's deep interest in Ind-
ian religion and music is refined
and sophisticated into such crea-
tions as "My Sweet Lord" and
"Isn't It a Pity" and the addi-
tion of songs like "Beware of
Darkness" makes All Things
Must Pass the best solo album
by a Beatle.
Ringo Starr has one good al-
bum, Beaucoups of Blues. It's
an easy-going, relaxing album;
nothing spectacular, but fine
country tunes. Ringo has matured
from a token drummer to a good
performer, and his departure
may have been a personal finan-
cial disappointment, but it has
initiated his creative develop-
ment.
John Lennon, the master of the
lyrical Beatles who penned "
Day in the Life" and "Eleanor
Rigby" has reduced himself to.
a socio-political fool, spouting
rhetoric in place of poetry.
Much of his lyrical power is
displayed on his first real solo
effort in "Working Class Hero"
and "I Found Out',' His words
are a stripping of the man's de-
lusions and fantasies. He makes
his pain real and felt, and main-
taines his artistic talent in the
process.
In "Isolation", Lennon criti-
cizes the public that ostracized
him for his relationship w i t h
Yoko Ono. He is right in his as-
sertion that an artist's w o r k
must be distinguished' from his

John were musical foils; Lennon
sawed off the edge of McCart-
ney's "popness" and . McCartney
removed much of Lennon's trite-
ness. If that musical compromise
can be restored, so can the
Beatles.
But Harrison would have to be
allowed to write equally. A com-
. , bination of the three would be
unbelieveable and unsurpassable,
but even alone, Harrison must be
recognized as the best musician
of the group, and certainly com-
patible at song writing. Starr
will suffice as a personality and
adaquate drummer, but his role
is a catalyst to preserve the
group as performers and friends.

he doesn't believe in Beatles;

revolutionized the musical world,
and mesmerized a delusioned
to by JOHN UPTON generation. Now the need and
belief is for reality . . . if they
at Power Center. can adapt to that change, and to
modern audiences each other's, the dream is just
beginning.
