Show Park Record Thursday, November 16, 1989 Page C5 The Romantics kick off two weekends of music The opening of ski season in Park City is always a grand occasion, occa-sion, but this year will be particularly par-ticularly memorable for the musical celebration. With The Romantics coming Nov. 18 to Z-Place; Z-Place; Bonnie Raitt and James Cotton playing at the Racquet Club Nov. 25; Third World playing play-ing at Z-Place the same night; and America giving a free performance perfor-mance on Main Street Nov. 24, the next couple weekends are pro mising some exciting performances. perfor-mances. When The Romantics came to Park City last spring, owners of Z-Place got a pleasant surprisethe sur-prisethe aging, romantic punks not only packed the house, the rocked it. Park City hasn't seen slam-dancing like that in some time; the audience had to hit the sidewalk to cool down between sets. The Romantics have been around since the late '70s, when the gained notoriety as the rowdy, red-leather clad, pretty punks who cranked out a super-charged opening set for the Ramones. The Romantics have gained radio stature with tunes like "Talking in Your Sleep," "I'm Hip," and "That's What I Like About You." J n Third World will play at Z-Place on Nov. 24. mil &t H yjr i - Li I Bonnie Raitt was in Park City recently opening for the Steve Miller Band; this time she'll return as the headliner. From honkey-tonk blues like Love Me Like a Man to the sweetest version ver-sion of John Prine's Angel from Montgomery ever heard, Raitt is one of the most confident women on stage. Her guitar work is nearly near-ly as powerful as her voice, and she is a consistently strong performer. per-former. The last time Raitt came to Park City, she stopped by Cisero's for an impromptu jam with Norton Buffalo, and rumor has it the club's owners have maintained some connections with Raitt. Hopefully, she'll offer more than one show in Park City. James Cotton, one of the country's coun-try's most respected harmonica bluesman, will be joining Raitt for the concert, which begins at 7:30 p.m. Third World played at the Triad Ampitheater last spring to a wildly receptive audience and equally appreciative reviewers, and the pop reggae giants will return to play Z-Place Nov. 25 at 9 p.m. Third World is one of the world's most enduring reggae bands; they were opening for Stevie Wonder and the Jackson Five in the early '70s, and they opened for Bob Marley and the Waiters in England on Marley's landmark 1976 tour. The band has continued to spread reggae's popularity into the '80s, and with the release of the album Serious Business in June, the band expanded ex-panded its popularity with songs like, appropriately, Reggae Ambassador. Am-bassador. America hardly needs any introduction in-troduction for our older readers, but younger music fans may not remember songs like Horse with No Name. Of course, most everyone will remember Muskrat Love, but we can forgive the starry-eyed folkies one flop or two. America will play a free street dance on Main Street at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 24. A-l CO.
