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.

| I'm know The Damned played in either '77 or early '78, it might not be listed cos it
ended-up being a free gig, i think they'd only sold a few hundred tickets, so to get
the punters in it was free at the door and any one with a ticket got a refund(£1.50
as i remember!). Two of my mates had decided on the night not to go (and go to
Shuffles Disco instead....sad) so i had all three tickets and felt rich with the
£4.50 refund, unfortunately it meant i was on my own and gigs, i think, are always
better with mates around, so i didn't enjoy it that much. Support group was the
Dead Boys, messed-up NYC junkies, and i felt sick when singer Stiv Bators stared
pulling out his pubic hair, i thought things would get better with The Damned but
they played their songs so fast and furious that you couldn't tell one from
another...if i'd been with my mates i'd probably had a laugh and enjoyed it
more...then in North Wales in 82 i seen them again, with my mates, and you still
couldn't work out what song they were playing!!! So maybe they were awful live but
they made some killer records!

| I remember the ******ed Christmas Party... The Zones blew them all off-stage. The
Zones opened (for some reason, I thought they were an early incarnation of bits of
Simple Minds, but www.allmusic*xx* disagrees), and played it fast and furious, but
reasonably melodic. The Dead Boys were appalling - they'd read in the press how punks
were supposed to act, and took it to the limit. The ******ed weren't much better...
they probably played some of their more notable stuff, but I can't say I could
recognise any of it

| The Zones were a later incarnation of Salvation/Slik/PVC2. Keyboardist/vocalist Billy
McIsaac and drummer Kenny Hyslop - joined forces with guitarist/vocalist Willy
Gardner and bassist Russell Webb in the Zones.
I agree with your comments but
hey we got in for free.
