70s superstars to play tonight
By Chris McCubbin
Staff Reporter
Early 70s mega-pop band Three Dog
Night will play tonight at The Royal
Grove (340 W. Cornhusker).
Three Dog Night was formed in the
late '60s. From their first album on, the
band scored a remarkable series of
radio hits that filled the AM airways
throughout the first half of the '70s.
Three Dog Night hits include "Mama
Told Me Not To Come," "One," "Joy To
The World," and "Black And White."
Concert Preview
Known for their unconventional use
of three lead singers, Three Dog Night
specialized in taking songs by some of
the 70s best composers (including
Randy Newman and Laura Nyro) and
turning them into mega-hits.
Three Dog Night will be performing
their 70s hits as well as songs from
their recent EP "Jungle Out There."
The band has been in the studio
recently and may work brand-new songs
into their set.
Midwestern rock band Jettison Etty
will be opening the show. Admission is
$10. Doors open at 7 p.m.

Austin, Texas' Johnny Reno is a
rock 'n' roller from the old s tool.
He's a duck-tailed, cuffedpit ated
pants kind of guy whose wa ling
honkin' Junior WalkerRed Prysock
style Sax Maniacs classics are either
covers of, or paraphrases of, rock's
most respected archetypes.
Band Preview
Reno and his maniac's stage show
is all fire and brimstone, a big
greasy 50's diner hamburger of a
rock show. Reno prowls the stage,
sax in hand, strutting and jiving
with the audience like a carnival
Huckster. He duck walks down the
bar, honking like a mallard who just
ate a barrell of chili peppers.
Lincoln is one of Johnny's favor
ite haunts and his shows here (per
haps anywhere) are seldom disap
pointments. Reno has nearly priced
himself out of Lincoln's smaller
venues so any bar show now could
be his last. Somehow the Drumstick
has managed to pull the thin sax
savior Reno in for tonight and Wed
nesday night. Last Friday, he played

Reno
a non-alcoholic party at UNL, spon
sored by Theta Xi fraternity.
Reno's version of Earl Bostick's
"Harlem Nocturne," Big Joe Turner's
"Flip, Flop and Fly" and the ancient
gem "Mellow Saxophone" along with
an ever-increasing barrage of origi
nal R&B and rockabilly tunes from
his last EP and LP serve to put rock
'n' roll in perspective. Someone's
gotta do it.
The cover is $5 and the show
should begin around 9:30 p.m.
