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.

| THIS WAS ONCE AGAIN A GREAT CONCERT. ALICE COOPER
IS AN WILL ALLWAY'S BE THE KING
OF THEATER ROCK, A TRUE ROCK-N-ROLL HALL OF FAMER. THE 1 THING I RECALL ABOUT THIS
SHOW WAS THE LOOK ON THE BOUNCER'S FACE'S, WHEN ALICE AN HIS BAND TOOK TO THE STAGE.
IT WAS LIKE SATAN HIM SELF HAD JUST WALKED INTO THE APOLLO. MUCH THE SAME WAY THEY
DID AT THE KISS GIG. LONG LIVE THE APOLLO!!!!!!!!!

to Glasgow at the 1982 gig, kept his promise too.

| November 1972 - Alice had said in the press that, having done London, I think, the
previous year,he wanted to do the other BIG city in the UK. Glasgow Greens Playhouse
was his only gig in the UK that year and attracted fans from all over! I was over the
moon when I received my tickets - tenth row from the front.
What an
atmosphere! Some of my crowd dressed up a bit. Me, myself wearing an old second hand
top hat and tails kit. I remember Alice saying that we (the crowd) were crazier than
he was. And do you remeber the two giant baloon balls that were propped up atop the
speaker stacks and then kicked out to bounce over the audience. Brilliant!

| Great gig in 72..I remember, for some reason, we had to get tickets by post, and mine
not arriving till the morning before the gig...cutting it a bit close werent they. I
always thought this was the first ever gig he did in UK, but I note somebody
mentioned he had played London before..so I must be wrong. Was a great gig..I was on
balcony, near front so had a great view..Unforgettable.
