Can you link an image of a 1970s band to an iconic hit?

I scored 18/20. I think 20 is attainable; I just made a couple of silly mistakes.
Congratulations to EclecticMusicLover, who scored the fastest 25/25 for the second week running.
Traffic’s Dave Mason passed away last weekend – here he is live in 1975.

19/25 or 24/25?
24/25 (I got one wrong)
My bad – it is out of 20. The others have been out of 25…
oh ok. I knew I had one wrong
Re: Dave Mason, rock n roll heaven just got a new addition.
I liked the death notice: “On Sunday, April 19, after cooking an amazing dinner with his beloved wife Winifred, he sat down to take a nap with sweet Star (the maltese) at his feet. He passed away peacefully, in his favorite chair, surrounded by the beautiful Carson Valley that he loved so much. A storybook ending. On his own terms. Which is how he lived his life right up until the end.”
<3 If you have to go, that's the way to do it.
19/20… almost nailed it haha. Thanks as always
Yup – you beat me!
A very easy 20/20 with 4:05 left on the clock.
Sad news about Dave Mason, although I heard the setting of his passing was very pleasant, with his family there and his dog at his feet. I saw him once, opening for comic Richard Lewis. He played by himself and his guitar playing & singing were fantastic. That was probably 30-35 years ago.
That sounds like a cool gig – before he joined Fleetwood Mac! I probably should have got 20, but made some dumb mistakes.
20/20 with 4:22 left. Yes, unfortunate news about Dave Mason, though as you and others have noted, it was a peaceful death.
Great work – you’ve got the fastest time so far.
Score
20/20
Timer
03:53 …. I never heard that about Mason…that stinks.
I guess he’s not quite famous enough for his passing to be headline news. I actually thought he was already dead – but i was mixed up with Wood and Capaldi, who died relatively young.
I was just reading Capaldi’s bio on Wikipedia, seemed like a cool guy.
“Outside his music and environmental activism, Capaldi also assisted his wife in her work with Jubilee Action to help Brazilian street children.”
For the longest time I only knew Mason for “We Just Disagree”… then I found out about Traffic. Hmmm, I don’t know anything about Capaldi.
Yea that is a great thing. It’s always good to find out the person of interest is at least a good guy.
Only one bio that I put down because the guy was so unlikable…. and that person was Jann Wenner.
