NTN Encore Question of February 24th, 2007.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Sean METLCA, Rob COSMO, and Phil PLBAAB.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...5000/5000...1st/8...my two co-win with COSMO and METLCA. ..........LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/8. I went 1 for 1 in guessing and had help on two others. OnBeat...ROCKET...13000/14000...1st/8...PLBAAB goes 9 right, 0 wrong to win round and take lead at 13500. ..........LITBOX...13000/14000...1st/8. 8 right and 1 wrong was pretty good. I knew 7 of them and Rob got another for us. JukeBox...ROCKET...18611/20000...1st/8...my two win round. ...........LITBOX...18611/20000...1st/8. Triviaoke...ROCKET...22268/28000...2nd/8...COSMO wins round. .........LITBOX...22231/28000...3rd/8. I take two -250 in this round. METLCA wins round. I got help in this round which more than made up for them getting me to change to a wrong answer.

Now the Encore answers come up. Classical Music. Not a good category for me. The Brodsky Quartet did an album with Elvis Costello but the question won't probably that.
Encore Question:...Which 1990 in-concert recording was named the best selling classical album of all time?:

I don't know this but Rob and I both realize it can't be Charlotte Church who'd be far too young. Concentrating on that year I can also pitch out Andrea Bocelli who wouldn't be famous back then. We'd already had an answer/choice about Yo Yo Ma earlier tonight. Sean thinks The Three Tenors. Yeah I say, Pavoretti was in that group.
Correct Answer:....3. The Three Tenors
[NTN Extra Fact:...The CD recorded at the 1990 World Cup finals in Rome surpassed ten million copies in 2000.]
If I'd thought about soccer I would have got this right away! Lots of high scores tonight so maybe this question was too mainstream.
I'm right and stay in 2nd as ROCKET with 33402. I finish 31st in all North America. The bar is 9th in North America with a 33375 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 18000 points.
(ntn.com left us in 9th place out of 1990 bars).
