ROCK 'N ROLL THE FIRST 5,000 YEARS PLAYBILL. ~FLOP~ St. James TheaterOPEN: OCT. 24 1982CLOSED: OCT. 31 1982TOTAL PERFORMANCES: 9 CONCEIVED BY BOB GILL AND ROBERT RABINOWITZMUSICAL CONTINUITY AND SUPERVISION BY JOHN SIMONSPECIAL CONSULTANT DICK CLARK Directed and Choreographed by Joe LaytonHere's a brief look at it from the NY Times perspective: ''Rock 'n Roll! The First 5,000 Years'' does a surprisingly good job of summarizing rock's contributions to our musical, cultural and even political life over the last 25 or more years. It's Broadway, so it can't be too loud or too wild, but it manages remarkable fidelity to its sources anyway, from the perfect reproduction of details like the differing guitar styles of Cream's Eric Clapton and Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page to the rhythmic shifts that underlie the music's changing styles - 1950's rock-and-roll to soul to acid rock to disco. One suspects that John Simon (not the critic), who produced albums by the Band and Janis Joplin in the 1960's, had a lot to do with this musical verisimilitude. And one probably shouldn't forget the show's ''special consultant,'' Dick Clark, although what he contributed is not exactly clear.
