Nope.
But that's a very reasonable guess.

Billy Joel?  Actually, this sounds very familiar but I just can't place it.

Brian Wilson.
It was during the aborted Smile sessions. He had a song called "Fire" and had everyone in the studio get into the spirit by wearing fire helmets. One day, a building next door (IIRC) burned down. Wilson became convinced that his music was channeling sinister forces, so he shelved Smile.

HWW pulls it off again.
Brian has reportedly gone back to the original surviving tapes and is preparing to not only finish the songs, but perform them live as well. After 37 years.

Well, I guess that's long enough to appease the spirits.
I'll be back tomorrow with a question.

What famous frontman, while being otherwise fully clothed, liked to perform on stage barefoot?

Not who I was thinking of.
Frankly, I've never heard of Shoeless Joe. Did he really go around barefoot, or was that just his moniker?

Sorry, I had just come from the musical trivia board. Shoeless Joe is a character from Damn Yankees. Just a misplaced joke, I'm afraid.

Oh, well he's definitely not the right answer.  Neither are Plant and Cocker. Clue time: When this singer took off his shoes, his bandmates might have wondered, what's that smell?

I haven't looked at the question but with that clue I'm guessing Ronnie Van Zandt.

I knew that clue would just give it away!
Ronnie Van Zandt, according to a recent program on CMT, sang onstage barefoot. He liked to feel "the heat of the stage." There was even a photo of him in full Southern rock regalia, but with nary a shoe or sock in sight.
(Kind of eerie, actually, when you consider that corpses are buried fully dressed, except for shoes.)
Anyway, you're up, LL.

I don't know, Lab. But Joe's not a frontman (as in the lead singer of a band), as I described.

Okay, here's a question that I assume Greg could answer in his sleep.
Jefferson Airplane had a big hit with White Rabbit. But they were not the first group to record it. Who was?

Would that be Grace Slick's first group, The Great Society?

And HWW didn't even stand a chance. It was Great Society who recorded White Rabbit first.
Over to you OM.
