Ibram is correct for advance sales for Woodstock ... (I would have also accepted $36, as I specified "you and a friend" wanted to go).

Gate price was $24, and $7/8 per day.

Given that we're nearly paying $18 to go see a movie these days, that was an amazing deal for a three day event.

my sister has a (well, probably a reproduction of a) woodstock poster on her wall.

What movie plays in the background of Pink Floyd's The Wall?

(movie version, that is, since as far as I know nobody knows what plays in the background of the album version)

Brazil?

The Wizard of Oz?

Nah, it's some army movie.

"How are you doing, Tigger old boy?" comes to mind.

Sgt york?

The Charge of the Light Brigade?

I wish I knew more. It's a black and white British WWII movie. One I'd never seen before. Beats me what its name is.

cheated
 

I believe its the Dramatization of an actual operation in World War II in which low level Bombers from England drop skimming bombs into reservoirs in the Ruhr water system to cause floods destroying much of Germany's industrial base. Nobody knows this movie.

Any floydhead should know this one.

Dude, I couldn't even get a fill-in-the-blanks with Zappa lyrics, so don't feel bad.

I listened to it on my commute home. The one discernable line from the background movie is "Hello Tigger, old boy. How are you doing?"

Maybe they say Digger, not Tigger.

That's all I got.

Paths of Glory

Actually, the dog's name is Nigger, but for the american version of DAMBUSTERS they redubbed it Trigger.

Dambusters, a movie about blowing up a giant wall.

Okay, new question. What is the name of the band who sang with Paul Simon on Graceland (most notably, the track Homeless)?

Ladysmith Black mambazo?

Yeah.

Ladysmith Black Mozambo (not sure of spelling.)

(edit: damn too late, and I knew one for once)

One thing that Eddie Van Halen, Slash, and Carlos Santata have in common is that they are credited with performing on albums by this artist.

Britney Spears? :p

Michael Jackson?

eminem?

Christina Aguilera?

Michael Jackson?

Dave Matthews?

Flint gets it.

...oh...okay...

What does Peter Griffin (Family Guy) call Eddie Van Halen's wife?

Valerie Vermicelli?

oooh good guess!...but no...

Edit: (Hint) You don't need to have seen Family Guy, if you've seen Sesame Street...

Valerie Bert and Ernie?

ha ha ha that's it! glatt goes...

The Sesame Street hint gave it away.

What hard rocking lead singer allegedly tattooed a W to each of her inner thighs so that when she spread her legs, it would say W O W ?

(I remember reading this in my youth, but just tried to confirm it and found nothing. So I'm quite sure it's true, but have no proof.)

I know, glatt, I didn't wanna get stuck on that one...

Let's see... David Lee Roth? Richard Simmons? Al Sharpton?

Courteny Looooooooooooooove?

No, he said in his youth, so it has to be, like, Billie Holliday or something.

Janis Joplin?

Grace Slick? Wendy O. Williams?

W O W ???

Yep.
Wendy O. Williams. (W. O. W.)

I couldn't confirm it's true, but since she has done just about everything else, I believe it.

Your turn, Spexxvet

Easy one:
How many songs are on Yes' double album (vinyl version) Tales of Topographic Oceans?

4? (4 tracks?)

I knew it was too easy. Correctamundo!

Damn...I never can think of a good question.
Which decade did Ronnie James Dio's career begin in? And what was the band?

The '70s? Black Sabbath?

way before that

If it weren't cheating I would call my 17 year old nephew and ask him! He loves the Dio.

It was a band called ELF..saw then as support to Deep Purple when Burn was released and Coverdale took over from Gillan Mis 70's..

This is waaay before that. He played trumpet.

William McKinley Junior High School?

Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass

Chicago?

Dio played trumpet for the Vegas Kings in the late 50s.

Somebody go. Please...

This shouldn't be too hard.

What musical instrument was invented by Lev Termen?

The Theremin?

Yes!

And the ball is back in your court once again, old boy.

Is that what he studied at Juliard?

@Griff: I've never been able to determine if Dio going to Juliard is an "urban legend" or not.

@glatt: Damnit! I really don't want it to be my turn again. I'm better at answering than asking. Give me a minute...

Off the top of my head... What was invented first, the foot-operated bass drum pedal, or the high-hat cymbal pedal?
And... So as this isn't a two-guess question... I can't ask you the year, but give me the century and the decade at least.

The earliest picture I can summon into my head is of one of those one-man-band guys. I'll say 19th century, and the bass drum one came first. Total guess, though.

I suck at this. Bass pedal, 1909. High-hat, 1928. I forfeit my turn(s)...
