Show The Daily Utah Chronicle, Friday, September 30, 1983 Promoters from page 6-- In the past, Arnold has brought in acts such as Spyro Gyra, Scott, Emmy Lou Harris and The Blasters. Arnold wants to expand the number of acts he brings in, especially the new wave bands. He feels there is definitely a market for smaller acts that can be brought in for a lower price. United Concerts, the area's biggest concert promoter, was founded 10 years ago by Jim McNiel. United Concerts started booking local shows and worked its way into the national market. Currently, United Concerts books concerts in Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Colorado and Alaska. According to Baker, who joined United Concerts in 1974, the business has gone through a lot of changes in the last 10 years. Besides technological changes and the drastic cost increases for touring, the acts themselves have changed their shows. "The bands have become more sophisticated and theatrical in their performances. Since they must compete for concert crowds with less money, each act tries to put on a more elaborate show than competitors," Baker said. He also said promoters have become more competitive, and bidding for shows is fierce, with the winner usually the promoter that gets there first with the best offer. Although he didn't want to discuss unconfirmed shows for fear of losing them to other promoters, Baker confirmed a list of upcoming Salt Lake shows that include: James Taylor, The Police, Blue Oyster Cult, Rick Springfield and Loverboy. f Page Eleven With Two Disk Drives?
