Awesome light shows, especially for the day. Formed in 1968 by Chris Squire (bassist), and Jon Anderson (vocals).

3. The song "Once Bitten Twice Shy" was recorded by more than one artist but who wrote it?

Ian Hunter equals Mott The Hoople, great band. David Bowie wrote the song "All the Young Dudes" for Mott The Hoople.

4. Which artist below did NOT perform at the original Woodstock in 1969?

Answer: Jethro Tull

Ian Anderson of Tull allegedly turned the gig down because he didn't like hippies and was concerned about inappropriate nudity. Bethel, NY. August 15th - 18th, 1969 = 500,000 hippies on a 600 acre farm.

5. The album "The Smoker You Drink, The Player You Get" was recorded by whom?

Answer: Joe Walsh

This album was credited to Walsh as a solo but was really made with a band called Barnstorm.

Lynyrd Skynyrd was formed first as the Noble Five in 1964. Sadly, in 1977 a plane crash took the lives of members Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines and Cassie Gaines.

7. At one time Glenn Frey and Don Henley of the Eagles played backup band for whom?

Answer: Linda Ronstadt

Gotta get your start somewhere I suppose. Five number one singles, six Grammys, and six number one albums. That's a long way from backup band.

Great albums! A Dutch band at first named Golden Earrings but later dropped the 's'. They had hits with the songs "Radar Love" and "Twilight Zone".

Not from America at all. Beckley, Bunnell, and Peek were from England and all had American fathers and English mothers. "Horse With No Name", "Sandman", and quite a few others, all good tunes.

10. Who had a hit with the song "Wild Thing"?

Answer: The Troggs

Another good old song by a band first named The Troglodytes.
