The top 20 Scottish gigs of all time - The Scotsman
5: WHITE RIOT TOUR, PLAYHOUSE, EDINBURGH, 7 MAY 1977
Punk mayhem tore the Playhouse down in 1977 THE ticket stub gave little clue as to what we were about to witness: The Clash plus Special Guests. But this was a gig over which the audience had built up a head of steam for weeks, and which has since gone down as a defining moment in Scotland's music lore.
On a night of punk mayhem, The Clash and their "special guests" tore the Playhouse down with an "up-yours" attitude that was evident right from the start. It was the first time punk rock had been presented in the manner of 1960s package tours, but it had an Achilles heel: at least one of the bands had no ambitions to be punks. They were punk's polar opposites: mods. Their name? The Jam.
They kicked off their set with a string of invective aimed at punk in general and Joe Strummer in particular. They'd soon leave the tour. Manchester's Buzzcocks bulleted through Boredom and other songs from their Spiral Scratch EP, Subway Sect somehow managed to complete their set despite a hail of phlegm, and The Slits' Ari Up, big on hair, short on temper, had an ongoing row with sexist yobs in the front stalls.
The Clash were raucous, ripping through White Riot and other tracks from their debut album. "We're the kings of punk from the Westway," barked Strummer. Nobody was about to argue. Yes, this gig was part of a UK tour, but we've included it because, for those who were there, it sent reverberations through the Scottish music scene that would forever change the way music was discovered, made and distributed north of the Border.
Punk would march on to encourage DIY music-making. Edwyn Collins, James Kirk and Steven Daly all went to the White Riot tour, and were gobsmacked enough to form Orange Juice; Alan Horne was inspired to found Postcard records and Davey Henderson to put Edinburgh's The Fire Engines together. It was the start of a Scottish music revolution. STEWART CRUICKSHANK

Great site, but while I was browsing I noticed a small mistake. The gig on May 7th 1977 in Edinburgh is not quite as listed. The Prefects didn't play that night but The Slits did. I should know as I was there and it changed my life.
