The "Welcome to My Nightmare" tour was also made into a U.S. television special which aired in 1975 and included special effects from the concert, as well as Vincent Price, who reprised his speaking part on the song, "Black Widow" as he did on the album.

The concert/special included an 8-foot Cyclops and a disturbingly life-like manikin to substitute for the woman being beaten up in "Only Women Bleed." Who was this ground-breaking band?

Answer: Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper put on some of the most outrageous, dramatic stage shows ever. Every theatrical band owes Vincent Damon Furnier (aka Alice) a debt for starting it all.
3. Their Wall of Sound was famous. The audience at these concerts were as interesting to watch as the band and we loved it when "The Music Never Stopped". They had a few keyboard players throughout their long, strange trip and most of the fans got off the bus after their lead guitar player and vocalist died in 1995. Dancing bears, skeletons and tie dye t-shirts were everywhere. What band am I describing?

Answer: The Grateful Dead

The Dead formed in 1965.

Bruce Hornsby also played keyboards for a tour but did not join the band. Owsley "Bear" Stanley designed the Wall of Sound. Ken Keasey, author of "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", founded the Merry Pranksters and drove "Furthur", the psychedelic bus. Long, strange trip is a lyric from "Truckin", one of the Dead's songs that did get airplay. "The Music Never Stopped" is on the "Blues for Allah" album.

Answer: Jethro Tull

Jethro Tull's music was not considered hard rock or heavy metal so there was much controversy over their winning the award. The following year, Grammy awards were given out in both Hard Rock and Metal categories. In earlier years, Ian Andersen was also known for performing aerial summersaults off a trampoline set up behind the drum kit. Ian sang and played the flute as well as many other instruments.
