Some context: Steeleye Span are an English folk rock band formed in 1969. Still active today, along with Fairport Convention, they are amongst the best known acts of the British folk revival, and were among the most commercially successful, thanks to their hit singles "Gaudete" and "All Around My Hat". They had four Top 40 albums and achieved a certified gold record with sales of "All Around My Hat". Throughout their history, Steeleye Span have seen many personnel changes.
In 1995, almost all the past and present members of the band reunited for a concert to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the band (which would later be released as The Journey). The only former members not present were founding member Terry Woods, Mark Williamson, and Chris Staines. A by-product of this gig was founding vocalist Gay Woods rejoining the band full-time, partly because Prior was experiencing vocal problems, and for a while Steeleye toured with two female singers, and released the album Time 1996, their first new studio album in seven years. There were doubts over the future of the band when Prior announced her departure in 1997, but Steeleye continued in a more productive vein than for many years, with Woods as lead singer, releasing Horkstow Grange (1998), and then Bedlam Born (2000). Fans of Steeleye's "rock" element felt that Horkstow Grange was too quiet and folk-oriented, while fans of the band's "folk" element complained that Bedlam Born was too rock-heavy. Woods received considerable criticism from fans, many of whom did not realise that she was one of the founding members and who compared her singing style unfavourably to Prior's. There was also disagreement among the band about what material to perform; Woods advocated performing old favourites such as "All Around My Hat" and "Alison Gross", while Johnson favoured a set that emphasised their newer material. Liam Genockey had also left the band in 1997, and on these albums the drum kit was manned by Dave Mattacks, who was not an official member of the band.

Some context: Namie Amuro (An Shi Nai Mei Hui , Amuro Namie, born September 20, 1977) is a Japanese recording artist, dancer, model, actress and entrepreneur. A leading figure of the Japanese entertainment industry since the early 90s, Amuro is known for breaking the youthful idol stereotype with her experimentation with different music styles in Japan and throughout the Western world, as well as visual imagery in music videos and on stage. Due to her longevity and resilience within the industry, she is referred to as the "Queen of Japanese Pop" and has constantly been recognized as the Japanese equivalent to leading Western artists such as Madonna and Janet Jackson. Born in Naha, Okinawa, Amuro debuted at age 14 as an idol singer in the band Super Monkey's.
In March 2010, Amuro won the "Best Asian Artist" award at the World Music Awards in Monaco; there, she performed her track "Hide & Seek" from her album Play. On July 28, she released her double A-side singles "Break It" and "Get Myself Back", which performed well on several record charts in Japan. Furthermore, she released the live DVD for her Past < Future tour on December 15, which reached the top spot on the Oricon DVD charts and shifted over 100,000 copies. On April 27, 2011, Amuro published her second collaboration effort Checkmate!. Her first musical release of the year, the record featured nine collaborative tracks that she had participated with throughout her career, and also released four new recordings to promote it; "Wonder Woman", "Make It Happen", "Unusual" and "#1's". The album was a commercial success, reaching the top spot on Oricon and distributed over 500,000 units in Japan. Three months later, she released her first ever triple A-side singles, "Naked/Fight Together/Tempest". Although it reached number two on the Oricon Singles Chart, "Fight Together" was used as the official theme song for the Japanese anime series One Piece, and achieved better sales through digital stores; it was certified Platinum by RIAJ. At the end of July that same year, Amuro conducted her first arena tour titled Live Style, which commemorated her 20th anniversary in the music business; additionally, the tour was to promote her Checkmate! album and some new material taken from her then-upcoming studio record. "Sit! Stay! Wait! Down!" and "Love Story" were the next A-side singles from her studio album, and both premiered on December 7, 2011. Though the physical release exceeded 100,000 units in Japan, the latter track shifted over three million digital copies throughout Japan, one of her highest-selling singles to date. The single also featured two unreleased tracks; "Higher" and "Airigatou". The former track made an appearance on her Live Style tour, whereas the latter recording was made available as a free download on her Facebook page. The final singles, "Go Round/Yeah-Oh!", were released in late March 2012, and continued the 100,000 sales streak in Japan. In April, the singer confirmed the release of her studio album Uncontrolled, which was scheduled for June 27, 2012. The album proved to be commercially successful, reaching the top spot on the Oricon Albums Chart and shifted 500,000 units throughout Japan. Uncontrolled also gave her the highest first-week sales of the year, and her 10th overall number one in the region. On September 16, Amuro was scheduled to host a special concert in her hometown Okinawa, commemorating her 20th anniversary in the music business. However, due to a typhoon warning in the region, this was cancelled and never re-scheduled. After debuting her first digital single "Damage" on October 31, she finished the year by starting her 5 Major Dome tours in Japan, which resulted in being the highest-attended dome tour by a female Japanese artist.

Some context: Clemens was born in Dayton, Ohio, the fifth child of Bill and Bess (Lee) Clemens. He is of German descent, his great-grandfather Joseph Clemens having immigrated in the 1880s. Clemens's parents separated when he was an infant. His mother soon married Woody Booher, whom Clemens considers his father.
In the 1986 American League Championship Series, Clemens pitched poorly in the opening game, watched the Boston bullpen blow his 3-0 lead in the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 4, and then pitched a strong Game 7 to wrap up the series for Boston. The 1986 ALCS clincher was Clemens' first postseason career victory. He did not win his second until 13 years later. After a bad start in Game 2 of the 1986 World Series, Clemens returned to the mound for Game 6, which would have clinched the World Series for the Boston Red Sox. Clemens left the game after 7 innings leading 3-2, but the Red Sox went on to lose the game in the 10th inning, and subsequently, the championship. Clemens' departure was highly debated and remains a bone of contention among the participants. Red Sox manager John McNamara claimed Clemens took himself out due to a blister, though Clemens strongly denies that. Clemens greatest postseason failure came in the second inning of the final game of the 1990 ALCS against the Oakland Athletics, when he was ejected for arguing balls and strikes with umpire Terry Cooney, accentuating the A's three-game sweep of the Red Sox. He was suspended for the first five games of the 1991 season and fined $10,000. Clemens had two other playoff no-decisions, in 1988 and 1995, both occurring while Boston was being swept. Clemens' overall postseason record with Boston was 1-2 with a 3.88 ERA, and 45 strikeouts and 19 walks in 56 innings.
