Encore Question of October 23, 1999.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm in 4th place place but well behind JARVIS by the time of the Encore round. My game so far had gone like this:
TuneUp....5000/5000...a 10 way tie for first place! OnBeat...9000/14000...4th/13 in five way tie...IAGO wins round. JukeBox...12980/20000...6th/13...JARVIS wins round and is first with 15629. Triviaoke...19740/28000...4th/13...JARVIS wins round.
Well the answers looked like it would be something about Bryan Ferry or Roxy Music. 'Were these all done by them?', I wondered. I own a 20 song greatest hits cassette but couldn't tell them apart.
Question:...This Roxy Music album features "Dance Away" and "Angel Eyes".
I didn't know this but thought it would be Avalon although that obviously had the hit 'Avalon' on it but did it have the others too? Bill MADDOG and Richard BERGIE and me and the people in The Regulars group were playing together as a 'Superteam' but didn't know for sure. Well everyone guessed 'Avalon'. I'd been right on the other Bryan Ferry Encore question that they'd ever asked.
Correct Answer:...4. Manifesto
[NTN extra fact:...The 1979 album reached the British Top 10 and peaked at #23 on the American charts.]
I'm wrong and fall to 6th place of the 13 players. I finish with 9870 points which is only good enough to place 6304th in North America. I earn 1500+ Players Plus points for not meeting this week's 21000 standard. The bar was 980th(?) in North America. STOS is the only one right and wins the game.
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank JARVIS 22666 x 11333 5756 KELLY 20756 x 10378 6114 IAGO 19907 x 17916 3291 ROCKET 19740 x 9870 6304 MARV 19654 x 9827 6320 BERGIE 19413 x 9707 6365 ENIGMA 19256 x 9628 6395 MADDOG 18642 x 9321 6510 MOLSON 18305 x 9153 6572 YIOTA 15354 x 7677 7125 TUG 14482 x 13034 5119 STOS 12504 18756 2977 E 8828 x 4414 8347 AM 0 x 0 9999
