Music Quiz: Live Albums

1. Nope, I got all 15 but you beat me by 7 seconds

   • Great effort!

2. 15/15 That was easy as pie. Piece of cake. I forgot to look at the time though, but I think it was pretty fast.

   • I don’t know if I can compare “pretty fast” with “3:10 remaining”….

     • I looked it up and Wiki says “pretty fast” = 3:12″. HA HA!!!!

3. Dang, I really shouldn’t do these quizzes while I’m listening to music. This was an easy one for me (I own 13 of these albums) but a silly mistake on an album & artist I know well left me with a score of 14/15. I think I would have matched your time otherwise. Cool kid’s book, especially that logo.

   • I think I’ve only owned about 1/3 of them. They didn’t include the last live album I reviewed – Gotta Let This Hen Out! Great title, but a bit niche I guess.

4. 15/15
   3:10 remaining

   • Oooh, fast!

5. 15/15, 2:43 remaining so not fastest time. It was only through judicious guessing that I got the last four. And the album they call “At the Fillmore East,” is actually called “At Fillmore East.”

   • Good work! I once listened to At Fillmore East on repeat during an afternoon of asbestos removal.

     • Really? Given your relative lack of blues desire I didn’t have you marked as being anywhere close to an Allmans listener. What’s your opinion of that album?

       • I haven’t listened for a while but I like it. They’re not quite a straight blues band in my books, and Duane Allman is one of my favourite guitarists.

         • Well, you’re full of surprises. I must have written about ABB a hundred times but I don’t recall any comments from your end. You’re right in that they are not a straight blues band but some of those tunes are either derived from old blues tunes or, like “Stormy Monday,” are straight-up blues. As to Duane, well, he’s my favorite (along with Clapton) so that’s good to hear. I may resurrect an old post around this topic.

         • Allman had a pretty short recording career, but he has all these cool cameos, like with Laura Nyro or Aretha Franklin.

6. 8/15. Not my area of expertise.

   • Thanks for playing!

     • I’m with you there this week James – picked up 8 right out of the gate, and then 0 for 7 on the guesses!

       • Sounds like a tough week for guessing.

7. SCORE
   15/15
   TIMER
   02:00 That was pretty easy except the two (IM and the Ram) I had left…I guessed between them and got em.

   • I think REO Speedwagon and Lynyrd Skynyrd was where I needed the 50/50 guess.

     • I had friends who liked REO so I knew them.

8. 5/15 Had no idea on 10 of them, and kept guessing wrong. Albums just aren’t my thing.

   • Doesn’t sound like very lucky guessing…

     • No, not at all…

9. 15/15 in 3:20. A couple I didn’t know but was able to figure them out by elimination and knowing that REO Speedwagon usually have shite album titles.

   • That’s a sensible rationale about REO Speedwagon – I didn’t know that one either.

10. 13/15 here.

    • Good work!

11. 15/15 with 2:23 left. So not as fast, but I got them all right.

    • Great effort!
