Video Name That Tune FIVE...LIVE! Results

[Frau_Blucher]

This is a Video Name that Tune with all LIVE (or 'studio live') performances, including quite a lot of older classics of artists many of you may not have seen. MAN, I get jacked up hearing and seeing live music. Hope you like this one as much as I enjoyed putting it together!

There are 25 clips in the linked video below. Any Quicktime-loaded computer should be able to play it - download the latest QT at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/ if you have issues. Just guess the Artist and Title to each song. The game is on a 75 point basis - 1 point for each Artist, 2 points for each Title. Email back the answers after you're done (my email is in the form). Make sure to include your forum name. I'll immediately send back the Score and Answer Sheet and take YouSendIt requests for later posting. <font color="red">[b]Please remember NOT to post your responses here![/b]</font>

[b]GAME UPDATE[/b]

We've got enough of a sampling for our first update: a 56.8 point or [b]76% average[/b]. This one's easy! Come and play!!

...and a few more responses over the long weekend to take the average up again to 58.9 points or a [b]78% average[/b]. I guess the live material doesn't throw that many people. Other takers for what was the most fun NTT I had making?

[KYYX4ever]

aw, that was the most fun I've had playing in ages!
Thanks - those were cool clips.

[Warzau]

Since I missed the last one I'll give this a whirl..

[b]FINAL UPDATES![/b]

We're coming back down to earth with some more mere human responses - average is at [b]52pts or 70%[/b] going into the final weekend. All songs have long been answers but no perfect scores - I know there's gotta be one out there! Remember that the game ends Sunday at 8EDT. Thanks to all who've participated.

Last call?

AHH!
I missed playing. I actually have my answers written down here but I never sent them in. I forgot all about it. I am going to check and see how I did. [:I]
Good job everyone.

[Jim2]

The real winner in this Video Name That Tune game is Blir.
Look at the diversity in videos he chose. They are all
over the full spectrum of Punk, New Wave and everything
in the fringes and in between. I'm amazed that the Damned
and the Stranglers were missed the most, and that everyone
got the B-52's right.

I enjoyed this game as well as the previous 3 (I missed
the first one) and look forward to what Blir can come up
with in the next one.

...and I haven't felt so alive, in years.
