Problems plague concert By Mary Woodhead In their Saturday night con-ceret in the WSC Fine Arts Center, England Dan and John Ford Coley failed to convey the smooth pop radio sound that the audience paid for. Part of the problem was the result of equipment problems. The band came into Ogden about 15 minutes before the concert was supposed to start and was unable to do a sound check. The rest of the problem resulted from unsuccessful efforts by the group to play macho rock and roll. The music was played too loud for the FAC. particularly since the loudness wasn't backed up by very much substance. The sound problems resulted in interruptions throughout the concert while the band tried to get the equipment working properly. The crowd, largely made up of high school and junior high school students, responded well to the band's AM hits, especially "Nights are Forever." Partially as a result of the sound problems, the band was unable to recapture the tight sound that typifies most of their music. With just his guitar, opening act Steve Eaton was able to pacify a crowd which was impatient from waiting an hour for the main act. Playing mostly country-folk songs he had written himself, Eaton brought on an enthusiastic response from the crowd with his quiet, smooth style.
