Correct Sooper. Paul McCartney not only had hits but topped the chart in each of the following guises.
1) Solo - "Pipes Of Peace" (1983)
2) Duo - with Stevie Wonder "Ebony And Ivory" (1982)
3) Trio - Wings ("Wings Mull Of Kintyre" / "Girls' School") (1977) (at this time Wings consisted of Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney and Denny Laine, [guitarist Jimmy McCulloch left the month before to join the re-formed Small Faces])
4) Quartet - Beatles (with John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr) (16 no. 1s from 1963-1969 in this formation).
5) Quintet - Beatles with Billy Preston - Get Back (1969)
Now, the above is impressive enough. But it gets get better, if a little tenuous;
6) Sextet - Ferry Aid (with Mel Appleby, Kim Appleby, Kate Bush, Boy George, Jim Diamond) (1987)
9) Nine - - with The Christians (Garry & Russell Christian and Henry Priestman), Holly Johnson, Gerry Marsden & Stock Aitken Waterman - "Ferry Cross The Mersey" (1989) - counting Mike Stock, Matt Aitken and Pete Waterman as three separate 'performers' as they had artist credits.
Multi - difficult to know exactly how many performed on this - Band Aid "Do They Know It's Christmas" (with Bananarama, Bob Geldof, Culture Club, David Bowie, Duran Duran, Eurythmics, Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Heaven 17, Human League, Kool and the Gang, Midge Urge, Paul Young, Phil Collins, Spandau Ballet, Status Quo, Sting, The Style Council U2, Wham!). Paul also did a narration for the 'b' side to this disc.
This is a two-part question:
(i) What was unique about the one-off concert titled "Games for May" held at the Queen Elizabeth Hall in May 1967?...
(ii) What did "Games for May" eventually become?...

Games of May was an early Pink Floyd concert, probably their weirdest to date. I was just checking in "Inside Out" by Nick Mason and I'm not sure what the answer to the second part of the question is. "Games of May" is a line from "See Emily Play", is that it?
I can't say that I've actually answered either part of the question......

Roger Daltrey (The Who)

You're halfway there with both answers Roller. The concert was a world first, but what? And what did 'Games for May' become?...
Games of May didn't become the earliest live bootleg, did it?
I've got some early Floyd ones, but not that early.

Yes. 'Games for May' was the early version which was then recorded as a single 'See Emily Play' complete with an 'arthouse video' long before they became a staple format...
Just need the world first answer now...
According to wiki " It was the first concert in Britain to feature both a complex light show and a quadrophonic sound system"
Phew.. So it should be a combination of Beth and Wiki to go next.....
However, if any knows what was the first live bootleg I'd be interest to know
Lol - Roller's first abuse of power!
I know it's not my turn, but does anyone know who first coined the phrase "Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely" (or something like that)
