Slotala, who followed the tour with a two-week run for Britain's Status Quo in Moscow this summer, has led a bid by foreign promoters to take advantage of a new openness to Western music under Kremlin leader Mikhail Gorbachev. “It is extremely difficult to deal here, you have to know the mentality,” said Slolala, who was born in Poland, attended schools in the United States and works for a London-based company. “When I first came here two years ago I had té negotiate with someone like the deputy help of the clerk a nobody Now it is quite different.” Ten years ago Boney M became the first major Western rock group to play Moscow. Performers such as Elton John, UB40, Billy Joel and Carlos Santana have performed in Moscow and Leningrad since. The carly performances were often one-shot ventures, with no chance of making money. But in the last two years or so, Slotala and others have begun organizing concerts on a commercial basis, taking bands out from Moscow to the Baltic republics, to Kiev in the Ukraine and down to the Black Sea coast NEW APPROACH That requires a whole new approach, says Slotala, who organizes news cohferences for the local music press and gets promotional videos played on television just as he would do in the West. Before, nobody really looked after the local press,” he said. “People like Billy Joel coming for one-off (single) concerts used to bring their own journalists with them He says he treats the Soviet market like any other, but organizing tours here can be fraught with problems. Few Soviet concert halls have the necessary lights and sound equipment, forcing bands to carry equipment around the country, Hotel -accommodation is often poor by Western standards and with few restaurants ready to serve late, post-concert meals, bands often take their own kitchens with them, The Russians may also need. time to get used to temperamental Western rock stars. One got) so annoyed by the refusal of a hotel switchboard operator to place his call home he threw the telephone and a television out the window of his eighth-storey room. Police were called. Money is also a problem, particularly because roubles taken at the gate for tickets cannot simply be converted back into the foreign currency which bands want But there are signs of change, there, too. OFFICIAL PRICES Recently, the official ceiling on ticket prices has been raised to the equivalent of $16 US from the previous $9 Also, Goskontsert, the state body through which all major concerts are organized,” is being put on a “self-financing” basis under Kremlin reforms. Gokontsert declined to give details of its plans but the reforms, says Slotala, means it will probably be able to keep more of the foreign exchange Soviet artistic performances abroad earn. This in turn, he says, means Goskontsert is likely to sign up more Western bands. Slotala said he had already signed up veteran British rock singer Joe Cocker for 20 nights in Moscow and Leningrad next May and said negotiations were also going on for a series of concerts by “one of the major groups” in January “Then in August, they are thinking about a concert in a 100,000 seater stadium,” Slotala said. “They want to do really big names for next year. They asked us for such big acts that I have sleepless nights.” Kain finds balance dance was all I had,” said Kain, 37, in VANCOUVER (CP) — Despite being the most celebrated ballerina in Canada, Karen Kain says there is more to life for her these days than dancing.

She has had invitations to dance with the world’s greatest ballet companies and has had ballets created especially for her by choreographers like Glen Tetley and Roland Petit.

She left the company for a few months and fled to France. ‘CLASSIC BURNOUT’ “I was the classic case of burnout,” Kain said. “I actually only stopped dancing for two months or so, but it was much, much longer before I was really able to put things back together. In retrospect probably should have taken more time.” Putting things back together meant opening herself to life outside the studio. She gave herself time to explore other interests, to build relationships outside of dance “T used to love dance because there was nothing else,” she said. “That was OK, because it was a constant adventure, hopping on a plane to Monte Carlo or wherever. But I feel differently now. Capitol Theatre For One Show Only Thurs., Sept. 29 8:00 P.M.

The former Dr. Bobby Caldwell of St. Elsewhere has broken through with two major films this summer: The Presidio, co-starring Sean Con nery, and Stealing Home with Jodie Foster. The Presidio, a big-budget produe- tion that bombed at the box office, featured Harmon as a San-Francisco police officer investigating a murder on an army base. In the more modest Stealing Home, he is a minor-league ballplayer on the skids, returning to his boyhood roots. Last summer, Harmon made his movie debut in the raucous comedy Summer School, directed by Carl Reiner. The role, he said, was a turning point “Before Summer School, nobody was knocking on my door and saying, ‘Hey, we want Mark Harmor to star in a major motion picture,’ " he said IN HIS LOOD Harmon was born into show busi ness. His father is Tom Harmon, 1940 Heisman Trophy winner at the Uni versity of Michigan and a prominent sportscaster. His mother is Elyse Knox, actress in such 1940s movies as Abbott and Costello's Hit the Ice and A WAVE, a WAC and a Marine. Still, he resists the notion he grew up-in Hollywood. “It’s safe to say that I grew up in California,” he said “Certainly not Hollywood. Holly wood seems to me very mainstream. something I'm not too attuned to and never have been; my folks sure weren't... 1 begrudgingly come into town when I have to. And yet I know this is where I work right now “My mother had stopped being an actress by the time I was born. I didn't even know much about my mom being an actress until I read about it in film books. I was seven years old before’some kid in the park told me that my dad was a world-class athlete and a great foot ball player. I went home and asked him. That's the reality of how I was raised.” Harmon first achieved prominence as quarterback for the University of California at Los Angeles football team in 1972 and 1973. He was asked if there is any correlation between playing football and acting. “There's some,” he said. “I know as an athlete I never played what I con ceived as the perfect game, where everything went the way it was drawn on the chalkboard As an actor, I don't see ever doing a role that you can’t make better or change somehow. I like the fact that I can get up in the morning and hopefully grow and be better than when I started in the morning.” LEGION BR. 170 DANCE SAT. 9:30 - 1.30 a.m. ANI rn) DAVE SCANLON Guests mus! be signed in.

They are unified by one belief, in After 23 years as one of the most enduring rock and roll bands in history, Weir, Jerry Garcia and the rest of the Grateful Dead don't worry much about their audiences’ love fading away. But as they ride a new wave of popularity, they do wish the latest generation of Deadheads as the band’s extraordinarily loyal followers are known, An infusion of new blood in Deadhead ranks has brought growing complaints of littering, offensive and obscene behavior, and drug abuse by some of the coterie of fans, many of whom trail the Dead from concert to concert around the country. On the Dead's home turf, in Kaiser Auditorium neighbors Deadheads camping out, urinating in public and “The problem is kids who are not hip to the Dead ethos,” said band publicist Dennis entral to the ethos is the understanding that this is for the long haul. You can't do a rock and roll concert and have an antagonistic attitude towards police, neighbors, local security people.” Residents near some concert sites are fed up, and the Dead, according to a spokesman and the band's own communiques, have grown concerned about the loss of some of their venues. issued a c i to Deadheads at “The Grateful Dead has an ugly, dangerous problem at its door, a situation bad enough to put our future as a touring band in doubt . . .” RELIVES PASTS To most people, the Dead is best known for such 1960s songs as Truckin, Casey Jones, and Sugar Magnolia. Their audience, however, is hardly limited to 60s fans seeking to relive their pasts. The Dead's newest album, In the Dark, was its first studio album in seven years and contained the band’s first Top 40 hit ever. Since its release last year, it has sold 1.2 million copies, and swelled the ranks of die-hard Deadheads to perhaps a million.

PLAYS SONG In a musical world dominated by synthesizers and staged concerts, Wald said, no Dead song is ever played the same twice and a three-minute number can turn into a 30-minute improvisation. of longtime fans has formed the Minglewood Town Council (named after a Dead song, complain about The New new Minglewood Blues) to promote more responsible behavior. A multi-colored handout, printed by a Deadhead at his own expense, encourages others to clean up their acts or risk putting an end to the whole Dead tour phenomenon. “We Deadheads have been having too much fun,” it says, “Be a part of the Good Karma patrol and infect people with good ideas.” Not slowed by the hubbub, the band expects to bring out a new album next spring, and there is talk of an unprecedented tour of China. The band’s last Madison Square Garden concert, on Sept. 24, will be a benefit to protect the world’s rain forests.

Rock group plans benefit UNITED NATIONS (REUTER) — The Grateful Dead wants to save tropical rain forests from creeping death. At a UN news conference on Tuesday, the popular rock group an- nounced it plans to raise $1 million US at a concert in New York on Sept. 24, mainly for organizations trying to halt the destruction of tropical for- ests. The band recently sold out eight New York performances in three hours. Greenpeace, Cultural Survival and Rainforest Action Network will re- ceive most of the proceeds of the rainforest concerts. Organizers will keep one-fourth of the proceeds for future performances for the same cause. Jerry Garcia, the lead guitarist, said record-breaking temperatures experienced in the United States this summer resulted from the so-called greenhouse effect of diminished oxy gen levels produced partly by the reduction of the forests. “But scientists say the worst is still ahead, changing weather patterns, disrupted food production and mass famine, unless we start doing some. thing now,” he added. Noel Brown of the UN Envir- onment Program announced UN support for the Grateful Dead ini- tiative. He did not mention the or- ganizers’ strong criticism of the World Bank, a UN agency which organizers said was financing oper- ations to clear forests for farming and mining in Botswana, Brazil, India and Indonesia.
