3. What progressive metal band toured in 1974 with a guitarist with a broken arm? (Hint: in 1974 they appeared on the King Biscuit Flower Hour) UFO?

8. Progressive rock in the 1970s was almost entirely European Dominated. But four bands from the United States made commercial impact in the progressive rock world, one from the midwest, one from the south, one from DC, and one from New York. Name these bands. Guessing on three of them here: Kansas, Dixie Dregs, and Utopia. I am blanking out on who the band from DC is.

10. In 1976 Yes members Bill Bruford and Rick Wakeman decided to team up with King Crimson bassist John Wetton to form up a supergroup, but the project fell apart, what was the name given to the proposed supergroup? Wasn't it something like Bruford, Wakeman, and Wetton? I might be confusing this with another similarly titled supergroup, though.
sorry

5. Progressive metal band Dream Theater had confused many fans in 2005 while working on their album Octavarium. Earlier in the year, vocalist James LaBrie had released a solo album. The tracks from his solo album were file-shared and played by radio stations under the impression it was leaks from the new album. The mix up was not corrected until a week before Octavarium 's release. What was the name of the solo album released by vocalist James LaBrie?
