The Bands Who Played at the Green's and Apollo
http://www.glasgowapollo.com/index.asp?s_id=1&m_id=14&yr=1977

"We are trying to create a definitive list of all the bands that played at the Green's/Apollo and to provide dates, ticket stubs, reviews and setlists. If you can add to our list or spot an error please let us know."

"The Lous...all female french band got booed offstage
Richard Hell..wondered why he didn't get booed offstage
The Clash lifted the roof and left many injured fans and bouncers when they told the bouncers to leave the fans alone and we rushed the stage, I remember 1 guy with a plastic police helmet getting a kick in the teeth when he reached the lower stage and the bouncers were at the top stage."

Alan Mcgee's top five gigs of all time

1: The Clash - Glasgow Apollo 1977

Everything you could ever want in a rock n roll band, The Clash had the songs, the sound and the look. I saw them twice in 77, really mind-blowing for a 16-year-old. It changed me and Bobby Gillespie forever, seeing The Clash. (Archived PDF)

Manchester - Nov 15
Elizabethan Ballroom, Belle Vue

Often circulated as Elizabthan Suite, it is in fact a full gig which was filmed by and for Granada TV and included Souisie and the Banshees as support.Snippets were screened twice on the So It Goes TV show (Dec 77 and Nov 78) (and repeated again in 1990) and circulate on video and audio.Other than the So It Goes source, no other source exists. It is thought Granada don't know where it is either and that the Dec 78 footage may have come from Tony Wilsons own collection.?
