THE CONTEST
Answer the following trivia questions correctly (hint: you can get some of the
answers
here and
here, but you'll need to work for the rest!):
1. The 2-CD special edition of Steve Hackett's Out of the Tunnel's Mouth
has 6 bonus tracks on the second disc. How many of those tracks are live
versions of songs that originally appeared on Genesis' 1974 studio album, The
Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, and what are their exact song titles?
ANSWER: There are two.
"Fly on a Windshield" and "Broadway Melody of 1974" are both originally featured
on the Genesis 1974 studio album The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway and
appear as live bonus tracks on the new 2-CD special edition pressing of Out
of the Tunnel's Mouth (Note: Many people also mentioned "Firth or
Fifth" and/or "Blood on the Rooftops" in their answers, which are on the bonus
disc and are originally Genesis songs, but are not from The Lamb Lies Down on
Broadway. Sorry!)
2. Bass player Nick Beggs appears on 5 of the 8 core tracks that make up the
first disc of Out of the Tunnel's Mouth and is currently on tour with
Steve Hackett as part of his band. What band was Nick part of in the 1980s that
