III. How can an investor tell uhin I ho ONLY By MARSHALL FINE Woodstock It wasn't. The Bucchanulia Revival Festival, held Saturday in the Hippodrome on the Slate Fair grounds, drew a crowd that varied from 50-300 persons in the course of its 13 ft hours. Even the cows at the State Fair have bigger audiences. Cows, however, are not nearly so entertaining.

Through the long day, ardent rock fans who had the $10 admission heard a raft of local groups and a hand-ful of nationally famous ones. By the end the crowd was standing. They were screaming and generally exhibiting more energy than when they had arrived. The local groups ranged from the bubblegum sounds of the Paisleys to the fast rhythm-'n-blucs of Showtime Part I II to the funky folkincss of the Sorry Muthas. Around 5:30 p.m.

the national groups started checking in. Steam was first on the bill. They are a pleasant enough group, with some competent musicians, who were, at best, not boring. They even did a note-for-notc version of their hit, "Na Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye)." Larkin Angland stock market has turned around? Can he know soon pnmifh in nmfir uihnn iha AMY AUTOMATIC long slide has ended and a solid rise is about to start? They had neither the vocul nor the instrumental ability to handle the Buffalo Springfield's "Bluebirds," but they gave it a lame try. Steam was followed by Kool and the Gang, a black group from New York, who concentrated on instrumental They were the first group to get the small audience really moving.

Their arrange-ments were tight and fast, They played cheerful and pleasing music. Catfish, a Detroit group, showed why local groups don't make it when it comes to moving an audience. Local groups seem too preoccupied with impressing the crowd with their ability. Catfish concentrated on getting the audience together and moving. By doing so, they created a feeling of a family get-together.

Walls between strangers crumbled as everyone stood, clapped and held hands. Catfish was led by a mammoth singer (male) who jumped and shook through the course of their numbers. He shouted blues from the bottom of his enormous gut, and did some humorous talking bits. Mush-mouthed Tony Joe White followed. While many of his songs sound alike, he is interesting to watch and still musically satisfactory.

He accompanies himself on the guitar and is backed only by a drummer. But his guitar, work is good and he did an excellent set. White sings as though his mouth were full of quicksand. His deep voice oozes out and wraps itself around the lyrics, while he plays and struts. The highlights of his set were "Roosevelt and Ira Lee" and "Polk Salad Annie," his first hit song.

Shocking Blue, a group from Holland, followed and set up on the left side of the two stages.

PETER ALTMAfo Minneapolis Star Critic For quite a while now (as time is measured in the mad, ever-changing world of pop music) the English rock quintet, Jethro Tull, has been one of the more highly esteemed bands on the scene. Yet it has never been quite able to break through to top stardom. Sunday night Jethro Tull came to Minneapolis for two concerts at the Depot. The group's first set was frequently impressive and exciting. By and large Tull overcame equipment problems, boring delays and the audience apathy inspired by the evening's opening group, a tedious trio from Scotland called Clouds.

While the quintet, showed skill, worked hard and kindled more than a little admiration, however, one could see why it' has so far failed to become super-popular. Jethro Tull is an inventive, well disciplined band made up of fine players. But it has not yet found the style that is distinc-tively, exclusively Its Own. It is outstanding, but it doesnt stand out. The leader, star and "spark plug of Jethro Tull is Ian Anderson, singer, flutist, occasional guitar player, premier danseur, coach and head cheerleader.

A galvanizing stage personality, Anderson is as ubiquitous as Roland Kirk. His singing is strong, clear and explosive. He plays a skillful, ever-attacking flute. And as he coils, pounces and exults during his songs, or even when he is' lounging at stage's edge, he is physically a dominating, exciting figure. Jethro Tull also is lucky to have Martin Barre and John Evan.

Barre is a gifted electric guitarist with a' nice sensitivity to harmonic subleties and a style that keeps moving. Evan, pianist and organist, showed Sunday excellent ability to impro-vise and a particular knack for blending classical and jazz allusions into his solos. The group plays tight arrangements zealously overseen by Anderson, allowing preordained individuals good solo opportunities but always maintaining control and keeping in mind the tune being worked over. The quintet is cohesive and mature. Tull's basic approach is hard edged amplified blues.

Baare, Evan, the other guitarist and the drummer provide the heavy, driving background. Anderson is up front and a show in himself. When he occasionally subsides, Evan or Barre seizes instrumental opportunities. What was missing Sunday Tull's first set was Individuality and a quality one might call repose or ease. There was little sense that the musicians had anything very personal to say.

"Fossils: Clues To Play on 'Chicago trial shows no biz is like show biz Reviewed by CLIVE BARNES New York Times Drama Critic NEW YORK, N.Y. Of course it had to happen. The so-called "Chicago Conspiracy" was the purest form of theater rather than politics.

It stars Julius Hoffman, the well-known judge from Chicago, and Abbie Hoffman, the well-known Yippie from Woodstock Nation. At the time I was always expecting an announcement of the sale of film rights to be delivered with the verdicts. Now at the Martinique Theater, that trial, which more than anything proved there is no business quite like show business, has been brought to New York. It is called "Chicago 70." Oddly enough, it is being brought by a Canadian troupe, the Toronto Workshop Company, and the players do it with brilliance, vigor, gusto and only an occasional trace of self-indulgence. The trial itself must have been a strange and essentially theatrical mixture of the superficially comic and fundamentally tragic, a confrontation between two groups, with one using the trial to dramatize its beliefs and the other trying, among other things, to maintain the authority of the court.

It must have been quite a spectacle. The anarchic humor of the court, and Judge Hoffman's inimitable contributions to it, emerge from that much-edited, reduced and slanted account from the transcript of the trial called "The Tales of Hoffman." In this Judge Hoffman's baffled attempts to prevent the defendants from running circles around him can be seen as having a certain pathos despite the judge's sublime self-satisfaction. You have to feel a kind of compassion for an old man faced with the cultural shock of meeting a life style so alien to him and yet so immediate to millions of young Americans. This is the dramatic nub of "Chicago 70" but these Canadians have been smart enough not merely to attempt a simple dramatization, although some of the best episodes, the evidence, for example, of Arlo Guthrie, Allen Ginsberg, Country Joe (McDonald, as he was finally forced to confess his family name) and, of course, the master prankster himself, that mocking conscience, Abbie Hoffman, did come straight from the transcript. But George Luscombe, the director of what is described as an improvisation and development, has been very adroit.

At times the cast is permitted to perform satirical vaudeville turns, engagingly sophomoric but often pointed. And then, savagely, he has intercut the Chicago conspiracy with another even more famous trial. The trial, of course, is from Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" with all its zany inconsequentiality and menacing undertone of gothic, nursery horrors. This is the perfect parallel, both in its playfulness, its nonsense and its ironic Jokes at the expense of legal procedures and practices. The staging is as free and easy as certain aspects of the trial itself.

An onstage disc jockey makes news announcements and spins records. At times the cast's members disport themselves on tiny bicycles or even in response to a Judge Hoffman comment on dress put on. an impromptu male fashion show. It Is zany enough, hippie, yippie and zippy enough but throughout there Is the figure of the Black Panther leader Bobby Scale, struggling to be heard, until he is finally bound, gagged and strapped in his chair at the command of Judge Hoffman.
