4D - New Student Edition - The Michigan Daily - Wednesday, September 6, 2000 HARPER Continued from Page 3D Midway through the show, the rhyth- mic poetry of "Oppression" drew an even larger response from the audience as Leach and Nelson stepped forward on stage, Leach carrying the trademark hand drum and Nelson forging an undercurrent of rhythm with a pair of shakers. As Harper bellowed a loud scream, the band edged into a surpris- ing rendition of Bob Marley's "Get Up, Stand Up." Rising faster and faster, Leach led the song into a climax of moving drum rhythms and patterns. While moments like this exposed the live energy of the band, at times the show became disjointed - cer- tain energetic songs lacked the ener- gy they should have, evident as the crowd dropped toatheir chairs during the overly loud guitars of "The Woman In You" or the more annoy- ing "Less." But Harper didn't sway in the least, finishing the show with the upbeat folk ditty, "Steal My Kisses." In his simple black T-shirt, he left the chair for the first time of the show and danced with Leach, Nelson and human beatbox Nick Rich. Exempt from the stage for only three minutes, Harper returned to play a beautiful solo acoustic set for an encore. Alongside the passionate "Roses From My Friends" came a ver- sion of Pearl Jam's "Indifference" that was very-close-but-not-quite Eddie Vedder. However, the encore turned tired and began to wane as it ran long once the fifth song strummed around. Yet again, Harper and the Innocent Criminals stepped on stage for one final surprise - an exciting, hip rendi- tion straight "for Michigan and Detroit and Motown." The excited crowd danced and sang as Harper did his best Marvin Gaye with "Sexual Healing." Following up with the show closer, a cover of the Jimi Hendrix tune "Manic Depression, Harper slapped the hands of his fans and paused to acknowledge his art with a slap of his guitar before he left the stage. 0 "Angelo's is the greatest place in the Big Ten... Folks curl around the block in an hour-long wait. All just to eat toast, hash browns, bacon, and eggs that happen to be the best on earth. The folks that run the place are great.

Hardly breaking a sweat, the youngster helped his father on-stage. Jean turned the microphone over to the long-haired man before the two sang a reggae duet, thus proving the artist's versa- tile talents. Other spontaneous acts included a freestyle competition between a tattooed audience mem- ber and ean. Throughout the night, Jean repeat- edly teased the crowd by pretending T-SHIRT PRINTING .

Finally, two hours into the concert, as Jean screamed "The after-party has begun," crazed fans began climbing on-stage. Within a span of 15 min- utes, a mass of bodies filled the tiny stage dancing and singing along with The Product, Jean and his band. Security eventually pulled the plug while Jean, standing on two 8-foot speakers, looked down on the crowd. Overall, the show highlighted Jean's ability to entertain and ener- gize a crowd. Though he sang less than ten songs, Jean held to his promise and made his show unfor- getable. New Menu Updated In Summer 2000 Dessert Menu Features Edy's Ice Cream Shakes & New.
