Finally A review of this show:
10cc, the British rock group, gives a concert at the Palladium from the New York Times Sunday, November 26, 1978 issue by Jon Rockwell:
To judge by what is probably 10cc’s best-known American hit, “I’m Not In Love," the band is some sort of romanticized art-rock ensemble of the synthesizer sort. But from its other big hit here, “The Things We Do For Love”, a direct descendent of the Hollse, and the Beatles by way of Wings might seem more like it. To judge from the group’s Friday evening, appearance at the Palladium, the latter description is the more accurate. But not entirely accurate, since the band also engages in extended (if seemingly tightly shaped) instrumentals that build up to a real heat. "Power pop" might seem appropriate, except that this is an older and smarter group than most power poppers. 10cc’s tangled, history and prehistory, gives a clue. The group came together in 1972 as a quartet, but four years later split into two duos, and subsequently the dual remaining in 10cc added four more musicians (one of whom has since been replaced). The twosome left from 1972 had a history dating back to the mid 1960s when they enjoyed British hits as part of the Mindbenders. The result today is a practiced, well crafted bad that can work with some conviction in a remarkably wide range of styles. The leading figure today without question is Eric Stewart, who composes sings McCartneyesque lead vocals and plays guitar and keyboards. The other original 10cc’er is Graham Gouldman, the bass player, but nearly everyone switches off instruments at one time or another. Since the split 10cc has an enjoyed quite the sustained success, it's talents might ordain it for; Friday's house was not sold out, and Mr. Stewart sounded a little miffed about that (“I hope all three of you enjoyed the show”). Fashions change, and in Britain, especially the new wave is all the rage just now. But this remains a talented, pleasing group, and one imagines it will pop up again on top soon enough.
