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.

| Oct '77.
One of the most amazing nights of my young life!
As The Clash hit the
stage all the young punks left their seats and surged to leap/pogo about down the
front.
The band were leaping around often playing wrong notes and out of
tune...but we didn't care,
their blistering energy and power fired us up and the
best band on the planet had us ready to explode!
The Bouncers, not known for their
tolerance, were trying in vain to force us back, as the gig went on arguments and
punches were being thrown.
It all flew by so quickly(as all gigs do when your 16)
but at the end Joe Strummer was shouting at the bouncers to "leave the kids
alone" and was saying "we've got one song left to do" and we knew what
we had to do, so with a
1-2-3-4 they burst into "White Riot" and we
surged forward flattening the bouncers, what a buzz, we left empowered and
ecstatic!
Unfortunately this was the start of the Punks v Bouncers fights which
were a feature of most gigs to come, The Stranglers in particular.
But that was
one of the best nights and i'll never foget it.

| saw them in July 78 (after White man in Hammersmith Palais) and also just after
London Calling came out (Think it was the 16 tons tour)-I remember they played
Anarchy in the UK over the PA just before the Clash came on and the place erupted. I
often think about nights like that when I go to gigs at that place beside the
Clyde...just ain't the same

| Still have the ticket stub for 22.01.80. Was my first ever gig at 16yrs old. WOW.
Opened with London Calling I think and finished with White Riot. Everything
in-between was a blur.
