Glasgow Apollo Concert Ticket

Contributed by Robert Pool

Glasgow Apollo Concert Ticket

An un-used concert ticket for the rock band 'The Eagles' in 1977. The Apollo, formerly known as the Green's Playhouse, was opened by Unicorn Leisure in September 1973 after acquiring a lease from the owners George Green Ltd. The venue's debut live performance was by Johnny Cash on 5 September 1973. The Apollo was considered by many rock bands as being the best venue in the world due to the enthusiastic reception they received from the Glaswegian crowds. The venue finally closed for business on 16 June 1985, with the Style Council being the final performers on the bill. Property of Robert Pool
