Showing a real penchant for trendiness,
she strips down to what appears to be a
plastic garbage bag to perform a pain-
fully self-conscious punk rock song
called "Nuclear Waste." But whatever
direction that could have been gained
through this return to rock basics was
lost in the void of absolute artistiw
freedom that defines the evening's en-
tertainment.
THE HIGHLIGHT of this gong show,
is the appearance of Daevid Allen,
progressive rock pioneer and "inter-
planetary poet." Wearing a grossly
green jumpsuit and a huge, pointed
wizard's brim, Allen moves the band
known as N. Y. Gong into a lenthy
space-rock improvisation. After

planet gong returns to find his perfor-

minent closing. Dismayed, he spends
the next five of the remaining ten
minutes castigating the promoters.
Considering the casual attitude flaun-
ted by the performers all evening, this
seems particularly unfair. As Allen
grits his teeth for an appropriately
defiant rendition of his pseudo-punk
song "Opium for the People," an ec-
static member of the audience informs
me that this is the music of the future.
Personally I'll take the Sex Pistols ver-
sion of anarchy any day; they may not
know what they want, but they know
how to get it. From viewing the cosmic
muddle Tuesday night, one couldn't say
the same for Gong.
