Geils Band Has Grown Up I4 Rati iff Joins knd Dali's Dandy Concert Review Television Walt Belcher wm imm i "'Hi 1 -x 1 -tzvyf If' 7 i By DAVID OKAMOTO Tribune Staff Writer J. Geils, the Great American Bar Band, has grown up. After. 12 years as a raucous, six-man traveling house party, The J. Geils Band has gussied up its raunchiness and jockeyed Into position as rock's dark horse for the '80s.

"Freeze Frame," their 13th album and first No. 1 LP, has firmly established them as a viable rock band with more than booze and blues on their collective mind. Their new material transcends the sloppy raunch n' roll of previous albums. And their two-hour show at Curtis Hixon Hall Friday night was more musically demanding and showed a less-reckless but equally energetic Peter Wolf fronting a tight, solid rock band that's finally lived up to its boundless potential. Wolf is one of rock music's premier frontmen, possessing a captivating stage presence that has always been part-jive, part-Jagger, marked by whirling dervish antics and trademark pole vaults across stage with the mike stand.

He paced himself Friday night, pondering more than pouncing, devoting more energy to singing and working the front row rather than exhausting himself and trying to be spectacle for the whole crowd. Wolf sings more than growls these days, and his plaintive vocal on the Spectorish "Angel In Blue" sent chills through the crowd. His 100-mph DJ-auctioneer-like double-talk was replaced with lengthy, caustic' diatribes against unemployment, the draft and the Moral Majority. The new Wolf wasn't his usual poetry in perpetual motion but he was still fascinating towatch. From power pop Can't mock-burlesque Come Tumblin and hard-core blues (The Strangelove's "Night the group, bolstered by drummer Stephen Bladd and Hulk-like harp player Magic Dick, demonstrated their various influences, culminating in a stunning new rocker, "River Blindness." The only disappointment of the evening was "Centerfold," their No.

1 single, which they treated as a throwaway encore, seemingly out of place coming after the second half of the show which featured blustering versions of "Detroit Breakdown," for a Love," "Musta Got Lost," "First I Look at the Purse" and of course, The Supremes' "Where Did Our Love Go?" Opening act U2, a Irish new wave band, received a surprisingly warm response from the Geils crowd, who usually aren't receptive to opening acts, let alone new wave bands with a letter and number for a name. When Geils played here in 1980, New York's 3D was pelted with debris and bottles and forced to leave the stage. But lead singer Bono's energetic showmanship and powerful vocals, coupled with the slicing guitar work of The Edge on "I Will Follow," "Out of Control" and "Gloria" (not the Van Morrison tune) brought cheers and an array of lit matches and lighters. Bono seemed mystified by this response. "What's this with the lights?" he asked the crowd.

"Is that good?" More lighters greeted them at the end of their set. "You're sure that's a good sign?" he asked grinning. It was for U2, and for Tampa, which may finally be ready to embrace the new music that's already been taking most of the United States by storm. Duffy's remarks, which included high praise for Channel 10's progress in this market, should put an end to false reports concerning an alleged affiliate switch. Clamage said he hoped the rumors will be dead and buried.

WFLA, Channel 8, will remain an NBC affiliate and WTSP will remain with ABC. Television Viewing Apparently, Americans are spending record numbers of hours peering into their TV sets, but increasing numbers of viewers are turning away from the three major networks. The A.C. Nielsen Co. reports that TV usage is at ap all-time high, with an average of six hours and 45 minutes viewing per day per household.

The networks' share of this time, however, has decreased in recent years with the growth of cable systems and increased audience interest in public television. The J. Geils Band played two hours of rock at Curtis Hixon Hall. i let Georgt Do It! Oongolajm shinyl vinyl NO-WAX FLOORS 4p Mfr ffiW UP 40OFF HOME DELIVERY MAKES IT EASIER! Call 272-7422 THE TAMPA TRIBUNE mt aamjia tStmea TO Willard Scott's Game When "Today" show weatherman Willard Scott was in town last week, he said plans for him to host a new daytime game show on NBC have been put on ice until next fall. "I thought NBC was hot to get it on the air by April," he said.

"I flew out to the West Coast and talked to Grant Tinker and all those executives and Tinker acted like it was all set, but then I got a call from my agent saying to wait until September." Scott says he'd like to do a show that was a cross between the old Arthur Godfrey Show and a game show called "Strike It Rich." Officials at WFLA-TV confirm that Bill Ratliff, anchorman from Dallas, will join the Channel 8 hews staff later this month. Channel 8 News Director Tom Hauff says the arrival of Ratliff does not mean that WFLA will be breaking up the new anchor team of Bob Hite and Suzanne Bates. the time being he (Ratliff) will be a special reporter, but down the road we're looking at expansion," Hauff said. He said Channel 8 might expand its news program to an hour. "We just don't know at this time.

Frankly, we're not ready to expand, but we had to deal fast to get him (Ratliff) when he became available." Hauff said the addition of Ratliff, a former "PM Magazine" host, did not mean that Channel 8 would be changing anchors. Recently WFLA teamed Bates, formerly of Wisconsin, with Hite, who has been with the station for four years. Hauff said the addition of Ratliff was just a part of Channel 8's continued growth under a policy of "going after the best talent available." Ratliff had anchored the 5 and 10 p.m. weeknight news reports at WFAA, an ABC affiliate, until February. When he was reassigned to weekend duties he began looking for another job.

In coming to Tampa, Ratliff will be leaving a market that is ranked the 10th largest nationally for a market that ranks 18th. Hauff claims he was able to get Ratliff because the Bay area has become more competitive in recent years and is able to pay as well as Dallas or Atlanta. billy Dali If you think WTOG, Channel 44, is good only for old movies and reruns of "Star Trek," check out the program the station will offer on this week's opening of the new Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg. Channel 44 has made a grand effort to produce an hour-long documentary on the museum which opens Wednesday.

Titled "You, Sir, Are a the program is scheduled to air 8-9 p.m., Tuesday. Written, edited and directed by 44's Linda Proper Lord, the program will include footage of the new museum, scenes of Dali's home in Spain and examples of his work, some of which have never been seen before on TV. Why 55? It's a mystery why some Bay area viewers would be flipping their TV dials up to Channel 55, but last week we received several calls from Tampans who reported seeing a color test pattern between channels 50 and 55 on their TV sets. Apparently, the signal was coming from a new independent TV station nearly 75 miles northeast of Tampa in Leesburg WIYE, Channel 55. Jim Sharp, general manager of WIYE, confirmed the station was testing its signal last week.

Sharp said he expects the station to have a strong signal in the Lakeland area and possibly reach into the fringe 'areas of Tampa. The Rumor Assassin James E. Duffy, president of ABC-TV, has written a letter to Clamage, general manager of WTSP-TV, assuring him that ABC has no plans to change affiliations in the Tampa-St. Petersourg market.
