At this point Waters received his third standing ovation. Once he completed "Dark Side Of The Moon" Waters went into his solo release "Amused To Death." Waters cranked out from his bass guitar the chords to "What God Wants," "Perfect Sense Parts I & II" and finished off after playing nearly the whole album with the title track, "Amused to Death." As the smoke clouds rose from the audience and the flicking of lighters was more prominent, the audience was ready for another hit. Waters knew what the fans wanted and began the bass line to "Another Brick In The Wall" - perhaps his most famous song - from "The Wall," his reunion album with Pink Floyd. The crowd flew into frenzy, screaming the chorus at the top of their lungs. The powerful Water's lyrics "we don't need no education, we don't need no thought control ... teacher leave those kids alone," reverberated through the air and through the minds of the audience as they stum- bled to their cars after the lights went up and this living legend exited the stage.

Gi*rls go 'N Sane By Curtis Zimmermann Daily Arts Writer There appeared to be more securi- ty for the 'N Sync show at the Pontiac Silverdome on Saturday night than at last weekend's Woodstock fes- ,N Sync tival. This is extremely iron- Pontiac ic since the only Silverdome damage this July 31, 1999 audience of adolescent girls inflicted was hearing loss. The sheer vol- ume of 50,000- plus girls screaming their brains out was enough to shatter even the toughest of ear drums. The band's entrance was rather bizarre. A comic book super villain came on the screen and told the audi- ence how he had taken them hostage and that there would be no concert. With the "Mission: Impossible" theme glaring images of the group were downloaded on the screen. The film then cut to the boys in a heli- copter desperate to break into the sta- dium. Apparently the only way in was through the roof (no, I'm not making this up). Finally, in midst of pyrotechnic glory, they descended from the top of the stage in harnesses dressed like Devo in gray space suits. Greeting them was a sea of glow sticks and an deafening roar so hi pitched dogs must have been howli for miles. To make up for the fact that they only have one album and the crowd wasn't old enough to have had high school U.S. History, a rather lengthy lesson was given on the music and cul- ture of the last four decades. For the '60s there was a video mon- tage that included Woodstock (the orn inal one), Martin Luther King, Jr. various other standard '60s images. The group returned to the stage in sujts with instruments which they actu- ally played and did "That Thing You Do" -- a song that was written for a '60s period film of the same name in the '90s. For the '70s it was a medley of Jackson Five tunes - and they had the clothes, the Afros and the trade- mark J5 dance moves to go with it. For the '80s they dressed like Id Johnson and did "Celebration." Although the whole thing was rather odd, it was a good way to kill time till they played their hits. The one thing that was impressive about the show was the dance routines. Anything their music lacks was made up for with an impressively choreo- graphed show that had them bounding and sprinting all over the stage. It e also good to see even in the ' pelvic gyrations still make young girls go wild; the King would've been proud. Although it was somewhat ironic that Jordan Knight, formerly of '80s boy band New Kids on the Block, opened the show, he could act as a good mentor for 'N Sync. It should give them a glimpse into the future and what could happen when their 15 minutes comes to an e Knight's bland set of cheesy R tunes generated a decent response but nothing to compare his NKOTB days. The boys did appear rather hum- bled especially since they kept bringing out their personal video cameras to capture the moment, which to their credit they did hold. At least when the inevitable back- lash occurs and the young g , favorite love song changes from "God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You" to Nine Inch Nails' "Closer" these guys will be somewhat prepared. _ V When you're as busy as Max & Erma's, the right hand has to know what the left hand is doing.
