And then he walked along the edge of the Circle

This is the place where we will post your stories about the Green's Playhouse, The Glasgow Apollo and Satelitte City (The Wee Apollo). As it develops we will break the stories up into sections such as Myths, Gigs I missed, Meeting the Bands, Where are they now etc. No story too trivial and we will only edit out bad language!

New Forum structure on Apollomemories soon.

Comments on Sammy Hagar [reply]
 
I remember seeing Sammy Hagar twice at the great venue.  The re-arranged date for the Loud and Clear tour with Riot supporting was an absolute stormer!  Great show and I got to meet Riot in Listen next day.  (They were doing an album signing there)  I've still got the radio broadcast from Radio Clyde on the "Standing Hampton" tour when he finished with Whole Lotta Love.  Again, a great show.  Couldn't understand it when he never came back to the Apollo.  Same with the Scorpions... some great shows then never came back!

I saw Sammy Hagar with Montrose, supporting the Quo in the early 70's.   they were an amazing band and I remember them on the whistle test the very next night, all wearing the same gear.   I also saw Hagar in the late seventies/early eighties and I think the support act was a group clled Vandenberg [reply]

Remember the Montrose gig supporting Quo well. I thought Montrose were better than Quo ,though I wasn't too sure about Sammy's polka dot trousers. "Rock Candy" was amazing as was "Space Nation Number 5".The Loud and Clear gig was tremendous as well. [reply]
 
Yeah, that was the gig where the band started up with Sammy off-stage and the American announcer introduced him 'ladies and gentlmen, please welcome, all the way from America - Mr Sammy Hagar' and when Sammy came running on with THAT guitar all you could hear was eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee coming from his Radio transmitter until a roadie came on and plugged him up with a cable !! i also remember him saying at the end 'you guys are amazing - I'm going to be back here every 6 months' - still waiting Sammy.

Great gig with Riot turning in a superb opening performance. Saw them at Donnington later that year and they were even better. Hagar was excellent and it was good to see him actually playing lead guitar for a change instead of now just poncing around singing. Last decent album before he started issuing some real stinkers. [reply]
 
Absolutely brilliant gig(loud & clear), hadn't heard much of him before this but was blown away by the end of the night, didn't he have a sore throat?
Went to Standing Hampton tour as well but didn't think it was as good
[reply]
 
Was the support band on the Standing Hampton tour an Irish band Called Grand Prix
Anyone remember????
[reply]
 
Yep, that's the ones.  Started off nervous as hell because they'd been told how tugh the Glasgow crowd were and ended up playing a blinder.  Got a great reception from the crowd too.  I'm sure they supported someone else a little later (might have been MSG as Robin McAuley sang with MSG a little later) [reply]
