Question:...Which soul man performed at the momentus Monterrey Pop Festival in 1967?
I thought I'd know this. I had seen a show on the Monterrey Pop Festival more than 10 years ago on the MuchMusic show however I don't know if it edited to concentrate on the guitar destroying antics of The Who and Jimi Hendrix because I wasn't sure in 30 seconds who else was on the bill. I couldn't imagine Motown acts being there and it was too soon for Isaac Hayes but that still left two choices. I didn't realize how soon it would be that Otis Redding would die. Soul man Wilson Pickett? Ok Number 5.
Correct Answer:.....4. Otis Redding.
I'm wrong and crash to 8th place. I'd tipped off BERGIE and ZEDMAN for the wrong answer too. We did better teaming up for earlier games. I earn 1500+ Players Plus points for not making the 16000 point standard. The bar is 12th in North America with a 31333 average. I finish 6767th--very ironic as that was the only thing for sure I remembered about the concert was that it was in 1967.
Here's how our bar did:
Player...........preEncore.........Final..........Rank...
OLE JR............21540...........33310..........84th...makes 10th on the bar's Hall Of Fame board.
JARVIS............21516...........32274..........85th...
KELLY..............21309...........31963..........91st...
ENIGMA...........20290...........30435.........121st...
ROCKET..........19923......x.......9961.........6767th...
MOLSON..........19790...........29685.........365th...
VIKING..............19572...........29358.........471st...
ZEDMAN...........18197.....x......9099........7046th...
BERGIE.............17334....x.......8667........7187th...
GLFBAD............15559...........23239........2425th...
LJ.......................14751....x.......7375........7606th...
LYNMAR..............6881.............9633........6873rd...
They've staggered the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs to make sure there's a game on Saturday night. I can't be sure they'll have a tv tuned on to the Women's Soccer World Cup and the Canada--Japan game starting at 10:30pm, I plan on driving home from the Toronto Inferno (W-League) game that evening and staying home.
