	Excellent game. Now this is something I can learn from. Although I will say, when entering the name of a certain Robbie Robertson act, four things popped up and something else unexpected popped up with "the"

	Limelight05:	Oct 26th, 2008 at 21:35 GMT	6 points
	Yeah, Ten Years After came up when I typed 'the'.

	magister:	Oct 26th, 2008 at 21:37 GMT	2 points
	Is there a way to turn off the last name for some of these bands? It just seems silly to type in after and get Ten Years After.

	When Jethro Tull was asked why they didn't play at Woodstock, they said they didn't want to spend a weekend in "a field of unwashed hippies." When Led Zeppelin was asked, the manager said the bill wouldn't be Led Zeppelin and others, they would just be another band playing at the festival.

	I am confused as to why The comes up... sorry about that... there is not a way to turn of the last name on some.. it must be all or none... sorry :(

	"Ten Years After" also shows up if you just type "an".

	I tried 'Crosby, Stills and Nash,' then 'David Crosby,' then 'Crosby,' 'Stills,' and 'Nash' individually,' then 'Neil Young,' finally I tried just 'Young,' and it was accepted as 'Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young.' Pretty finicky for a quiz that gives you five answers correct just for typing 'The Band'

	More fine-tuning for this quiz: I typed "John Sebastian" several times, but it didn't take it -- it wants John B. Sebastian. Also, why don't I get credit for "Country Joe MacDonald" but I do for "Country Joe and the Fish"? ESPECIALLY after getting a whole lot of answers for "Band."

	Lots of weird things going on on this quiz... not sure why.. but I am checking into it

	OK, fixed the band issue, last names should still work for this game, but typing in 'band' should only give you the actual answer for which it is intended. Also, fixed the Ten Year After problem and the John Sebastian issue. Country Joe should also be working. Sorry for the trouble!

	Great quiz. I barely knew any of 'em, but still... great quiz.

	It's funny how much the other band bands dropped after the giveaway was lifted.

	senordingdong:	Oct 27th, 2008 at 04:49 GMT	3 points
	Jefferson Airplane, The Who, CCR, Sha-Na-Na-Na. One of these bands doesn't belong.

	Cool quiz! You should make a Monterey International Pop Festival one next.

	John:	Jan 21st, 2009 at 19:20 GMT	0 points
	spelled Grateful Dead wrong and it didn't register

	Kitnaz:	Feb 14th, 2009 at 16:20 GMT	-2 points
	Do one for "Donnington Monsters of Rock" bands, that would be sweet; GnR, ACDC, Blue Oyster Cult, Whitesnake, Slade, Blackfoot, Motley Crue, More etc...

Comment below threshold: show it

	@Art Vandaley; That's because it's Janis Joplin not Janis Jopin

	Lucian:	Jun 12th, 2009 at 15:14 GMT	-3 points
	Neil Young wasn't with them at Woodstock so it shiould just be Crosby, Stills,and Nash

	bluecomit:	Aug 19th, 2009 at 06:40 GMT	-1 points
	You guys should totally make a Woodstock quiz!!!

	superineficaz:	Aug 27th, 2009 at 18:05 GMT	4 points
	@Art Vandaley: Also, Janis Joplin didn't play Woodstock with Big Brother and the Holding Company. Like at all. Big Brother was not in attendance. Joplin had left that band more than a year earlier; she performed at Woodstock with her a new band, Kozmic Blues, which was straightforwardly a backing band. Also, your misogyny is showing.

	@ Lucian; Neil Young played Woodstock, but mostly skipped the first set. He played during the second set but refuesed to be filmed.

	A lot of people know about Jethro Tull and Led Zeppelin turning down Woodstock, but people never hear the story about how Woodstock turned down John Lennon and Yoko Ono...

	I forgot a whole bunch, and I was there!

	awesome quiz

	portnoy:	Feb 13th, 2010 at 02:39 GMT	1 point
	Mountain is accepted as an answer, even though it shows up as Leslie West. Wasn't it West's band Mountain that played Woodstock?

	I have a copy of the Woodstock poster and I noticed that Incredible String Band and Sly & the Family Stone were originally billed for Friday and that CCR were billed as Creedence Clearwater.

	@jacobf: Also the story of Iron Butterfly getting stuck at an airport waiting for a helicopter...

	fundys:	Apr 30th, 2010 at 00:16 GMT	1 point
	Sorry to call you on it, but as mentioned above Neil Young wasn't with the boys at this one. Cool quiz though, I never knew Creedence played.

	Can you accept Butterfield Blues Band? I've seen both names used - when neither that nor Butterfield worked I assumed they weren't there.

	dollymix:	Nov 11th, 2010 at 17:02 GMT	1 point
	@dburger - Joe Boyd, who produced and I think managed the Incredible String Band, talks in his book about how he wouldn't let them go on in the pouring rain on Friday because of safety concerns, and Melanie took their spot instead and became something of an instant legend.

	Looks like day 2 had some great music. Besides Jimi, the other days probably sucked.
