What's the Woodsock-related question for the answer "Carlos Santana"?

Dang!  Undun by a typo!  Looks like I'll have to wait until tomorrow to hear from Mark again.


You must have fixed the typo before I saw it, but I don't know of any killer Santana @ Woodstock trivia.  He had the longest guitar solo?  All I really know is the legend that sprung up around his performance of "Soul Sacrifice" greatly fueled his ultimate success.

Yeah, Amelia caught me in just my Woodsocks.  Not sure which legend you're speaking of here I fear.  The legend I heard was that Carlos was not expecting to go on and had just dropped some acid.  They said "you're going on now", so he did.

All I meant is that it's practically a cliche to say "Santana's legendary performance at Woodstock" in the same way one reads about "Jimi's legendary performance at Monterey" or "Dylan's legendary performance at Newport."

stickler for accuracy that I am -- someone should tell Dave's web intern that "yeah!" is not the same as "yay!"

I don't hate that Smashmouth song, but it doesn't belong in this set thematically.  It's not about Sunshine or any ofther form of the weather, literally or metaphorically.  Obviously it has the word Sun in the title, but this is even worse than when Dave threw "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" into the Folsom St. Fair set last year.

So many other songs he could have replaced it with, not least being the one I asked for.

Death Cab for Cutie should record a song called "Death Train for Trini"

Who had the biggest hit with a Beatle cover? no, that can't be right, can it?


hmm...who would that be? joe cocker?


I suppose the answer to that question is Elton's "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds", which hit #1 in '74.  I did a cursory search of other #1's & that's the only Beatles cover I noticed.


And you would be correct.  The runners-up:

Sergio Mendes and Brasil '66, "Fool on the Hill" (#6, 1968)
Tiffany, "I Saw Him Standing There" (#7, 1988)
Anne Murray, "You Won't See Me" (#8, 1974)
Earth, Wind & Fire, "Got to Get You Into My Life" (#9, 1978)
Silkie, "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" (#10, 1965)
Stevie Wonder, "We Can Work It Out" (#13, 1971)

Has Dave ever played Tiffany?  Or Anne Murray?  Or Sergio Mendes?  *sigh*

Paper Sun would have been good to hear.

Too much sun will burn!
