Good stuff MacPherson! .... saw Joe Walsh way back in 1970 when his band The James Gang supported The Who.

Yeah, I just recently bought ' best of the James gang 69 to 74 ' to replace the vinyl that I hadn't heard in decades, still very listenable 👍

The gig I mentioned above was @ the old Green`s Playhouse in Glasgow. The crowd wanted more of the James Gang & they ended up doing two encores, quite something when you consider that really everyone was there to see The Who!!

Had to google when it closed, June 1973.. I was nearly 17 but by then had been there quite a few times. it was pretty wild back then.. I can remember whole rows of seats collapsing when everyone used to stand on them and jump up and down.

Also the balcony used to literally wobble up and down about a foot if everyone was stamping in unison.

 

Was at some really great gigs in Green's and many more after it became the Apollo but I wasn't at the Who gig you mentioned although I'm sure I saw the James gang but I can't remember where or when.

I remember paying 50p ( with a student union card ) to see   "The Sensational Alex Harvey Band" as they were then called at Chichester Collage . The next day they were playing The Marquee   for £20 a ticket . Them were the days 🙂

Excellent... I had the pleasure of seeing them many times in the Glasgow pub gig scene probably 25 + years ago where they played with a lot of different folk, they were good then and by feck they've not got worse👍

It was about then that I got into them too. Cracking players.
