As exciting as the concert had been, the encore turned out to be the best part of the show. "I'm a Man" was followed by some excellent jazz improvisations by guitarist Terry Kath and more superb bass work by Cetera.

Then Seraphine had a chance to show his skill; some straight hard rock was played and it ended with a sensational job of "Free." The last 20 minutes were Chicago at its best. The freewheeling jazz flavor was there, Cetera emerged as one of rock's finest bassists and Kath showed great technique on the lead guitar. When the encore was over, even the audience was tired. It had been on its feet for bre would the encore be such a complete climax to an exciting evening of music.

If you must be persuaded, just ask anyone that was part of Tuesday night's sellout crowd at the Greek Theatre.

The septet presented one of the most exciting shows I have ever seen. The performance was musically complete, displaying the strength and appeal the group offers. It was paced well at the end the audience rose to its feet and begged for more which is what it got maybe even more than expected. The opening selections were off the Chicago album which currently dominates the top of Billboard Magazine's sales chart. And although the new material is not as familiar as some of the older hits the group has had, songs like "Saturday" and "State of the Union" justifiably received enthusiastic applause.

The audience especially warmed to the group when its early hits like "Fancy Colours," "Lowdown" and "Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?" were played. It wag interesting to see each tune evoke a different response from members of the audience. Everybody seemed to have his favorite and as the group played them individual tastes were satisified. But it all came together at the end when Chicago broke into "Beginnings" and closed its second 50-minute set with "25 or 6 to 4," bringing 4,500 people to its feet and many down near the stage of the outdoor theater. Chicago left but the audience continued to roar strong approval for nearly 10 minutes until the group returned.

And then it all broke loose. Organist Robert Lamm and drummer Danny Saraphine set the tempo and the group went into "I'm a Man," the rock classic written by Spencer Davis and taken off the first album, when the group was known as the Chicago Transit Authority. At this point, the ushers lost control. Nobody was sitting down anymore, there was just Claremont Music Fest On KPFK NORTH HOLLYWOOD The 1972 Claremont Music Festival, held at Pomona College in July, can be heard in nine two-hour concerts on KPFK, 90.7 FM, beginning tomorrow.

In Savior, Savior, Hold My Hand, Piri Thomas pictures the poverty and squalor as well as the spirit and vitality of the ghetto in a dramatic story that is blunt, painful, absorbing and profoundly moving. His book begins with his return from prison, where he had served six years of a sentence for armed robbery. Back home in New York's Spanish Harlem, he found friends dying on heroin, or getting rich selling it. Looking for a job, he found the unions closed to him not because he lacked skill and training, but because he lacked a white skin. Then there was an indomitable aunt who brought him to her church, where he met the woman who became his wife and where he began to take an interest in helping others.

he got a job working with street children. He helped them find highs other than drugs, tried to cool rivalries fueled by frustration, persuaded gang leaders to surrender weapons intended for bloody street battles. But even with success came bitter isappointments. Pervasive discrimination forced Thomas and his young family to give up a suburban home. And an appallingly hypocritical and selfish boss forced him out of his job and almost back into prison.

Piri Thomas writes of these experiences with unselfcon-scious candor and compassion. He was born in New York City in 1028, the oldest of seven children. Faced with the dua Ifrus-trations of racil discrimination and economic shortages, he drifted into drugs, youth gangs, and eventually more violent crimes. He served six years in prison for armed robbery, and on his release tried to start a new life in Spanish Harlem the experiences which provide the basis for his new book. He became a street worker in jj i TODAY Enjoy your favorite joodt in the pleasant atmosphere of thete leading restaurants.

As principle arranger and composer, Lamm is the cool man behind the group. He plays the organ and sings with equally fine ability and was featured on a piano solo. Cetera provides the dynamics. He has the greatest vocal range in the group and adds flash with his bass playing and exciting singing. Although Kath's singing often leaves something to be desired, his guitar playing does not.

He adds a soulful strain to the group, much in the style of Joe Cocker. The three vocalists did an exceptional job of exchanging the vocal lead, sometimes in the middle of a phrase, with an effortless smoothness. The result is a classy, fluid vocal sound unmatched in rock. The horn section had its moments throughout the evening some good and some bad. Trumpeter Lee Loughnane played out of tune often, although his solo in of the Union" was exceptional.

It must be considered, however, that trying to keep a horn in tune on an outdoor stage with amplified guitars competing for sound is a difficult task. Besides, the group's albums always display the finest intonation. The sound is a fine blend of rock, jazz and big band elements. The result is both exciting and musically pleasing. Only with a group like Chicago would a medley be both necessary and appropriate as an encore.
